The T-28 was initially created as a two seat trainer for the US Air Force with the first aircraft flying in 1949. The aircraft had a short production run with the last new T-28 delivered in 1958. The original A model had a miserly 800 horsepower, 7 cylinder radial engine and a two bladed prop. The Navy became interested in the aircraft and ordered 491 B models which had the considerably more powerful 1425 horsepower Wright Cyclone R-1820-86 9 cylinder engine. The C model followed a few years later and this was modified with a tail hook for carrier operation. A shorter prop was installed on the C to prevent prop strike. Some of the original A models were modified with a larger engine and became the D model. These D models saw combat in various regions around the world.

This aircraft is based upon the T-28D 'Huff ‘n’ Puff' from Warbird Aviation at Archerfield. The aircraft has a 1,425 horsepower 9 cylinder Wright Cyclone radial engine with typical cruise speeds from 180 to 200 kts. Climb rates can approach 4000 fpm.

Also available as a separate package is the T-28B/C as flown by the US Navy.

Version 3 update adds the following:

  • VRS TacPack compatibility for the Attack model
  • New custom sound system for more accurate engine sounds and more user control. The user can choose to blend exterior sounds with the interior sounds.

  • Improved engine auto start routine
  • Improved and simpler handling of the throttle, mixture and prop controls inputs
  • Added option to always load the aircraft in a cold and dark state
  • Changed method of saving aircraft wear and tear data
  • Added additional key commands to control carburetor air control
  • Added option to set a joystick button as the fire button in Attack model
  • Added pushback mode for moving the aircraft while on the ground with engine off
  • More accurate fuel consumption rates
  • Improved engine pressure and temperature modelling
  • Fixed issue with FSX: Steam Edition where bloom effect was causing black squares in the Attack model.
  • Fixed issue with MP display at high altitudes
  • Improved shared cockpit compatibility
  • Added 2D pop-up for rear radios in dual cockpit version
