FSX US Air Force Lockheed T-33A 57th FIS And 81st TFW

USAF Lockheed T-33A repaints bring front-line squadron “hack” realism to FSX with two period-accurate schemes: 57-0592 of the 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Keflavik in 1976 and 57-0547 of the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing at Bentwaters in 1965. Requires Tim Conrad’s T-33A model.

Two repaints for Tim Conrad's T-33 A to represent USAF front-line squadron 'hacks' used for a variety of ancillary roles including target towing, liaison and familiarization. The first depicts 57-0592 of the 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron based at Keflavik AB in Iceland from 1975 to 1985, as it was photographed in the Bicentennial year 1976. The second depicts 57-0547 of the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing based at Bentwaters AB, UK, as it appeared in 1965. By Dave Quincey.

Copy the 'texture.usaf' folder from your T-33 folder twice and rename the copies 'texture.Kef' and 'texture.81st'. Unzip the contents of this download into a temporary folder then copy and paste the two folders into your T-33 folder, overwriting files when prompted.

Copy and paste the following lines into the aircraft.cfg file after the last [fltsim.xx] entry:

Replace the .xx's with the next two available numbers and save.

These files are based on Tim Conrad's original main textures and were made using Ed Wells' highly detailed 4096 x 4096 paint kit. Many thanks to both for this beautiful model.
