FSX Wildcats T-33A

The WildCats Lockheed T-33A “T-Bird” refresh sharpens jet trainer realism with a revised air file and configuration tuned in Air Wrench for performance closer to real-world figures. For Microsoft Flight Simulator X SP2/Acceleration, it also corrects fuel and oil pressure gauge behavior and models high-speed buffet onset for more authentic handling.

This is a revised air file and configuration file for FSX SP2/A Lockheed T-33A T-Bird Jet Training Aircraft. This file was tweaked using Air Wrench to get the performance closer to the actual aircraft performance and to ensure that the fuel pressure and oil pressure gauges operate correctly.

The aircraft buffets at 0.8 mach at sea level and you can break the plane doing that. It is consistent with accident reports from the Canadian Air Force. Although I am a pilot, I have not flown a T-33 in actuality so some of the characteristics are hard to judge from a pilot's point of view.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D add-on

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place files per the readme

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    Very nice aircraft to fly. I have included the camo version of my Chilean Air Force in the 1970 's years.

    Regards.

    Can only get two gauges to show up, where does the zip gauges go? I like the color and markings but need gauges to fly it right.
