FS2004 Lockheed T-33A T-Bird Jet Training Aircraft.

Developed from Lockheed's F-80 Shooting Star jet fighter, the T-33 went on to become one of the most successful jet trainers in history. Over 5000 were built with license production in Canada and Japan adding several hundred more.




Installation:
Make new Folder in your FS2004\Aircraft folder, label it T-33A
After downloading the zip, locate it, using your Computer Explorer, Winfile, etc. Double-click on it and extract the file to your T-33A folder.Everything should end up in the right place/folder.


Copy the gauges into your Sim's Gauges Folder. You may already have some of them, so you don't have to overwrite or reload them. Choice is yours.


Copy the GaugeSound.dll file into your FS Main Folder. Easygauge 2.0, what I used to make gau's, says this file is needed. If you already have one of my later planes, you most likely have this file already installed.
SIM WILL CRASH IF NOT INSTALLED!


NOTAMS:

1) If you fly the T-33 in FS2002, you may want to install the FS2002 GPS into the panel.cfg file, replacing the FS2004 GPS entry. But keep in mind, this plane was not tested in FS2002
2)See BEFORE YOU FLY! I don't want of bunch of e-mails:-)

3) If you select full fuel, you will be overweight, at about 14,251LBS. While within flight limits, the T-Bird will fly and handle much better if you have about 75% fuel. I like to fly with full center, and about half main/tip tanks.
Normal max useful aircraft weight is about 11,500LBS

Enjoy!
This aircraft was built to the best of my skills, knowledge, and simply to my own tastes and standards. I don't mind constructive comments, or how-to's, but "This Sucks!" type e-mails will be ignored. As for repaints, new versions, etc. I have no idea if, when, or what. So please, no "placing orders".
These files shouldn't harm your computer, but I accept no responsability for their use and effect.
Play with it,do repaints, give to friends or enemies(see below), but do not make money off of it without my express approval. This also goes for any other peoples' files in this release.

Also,if you want to re-post the plane, or its repaints, on your site, or another site, please ask me first:) I usually say yes, unless my plane been too corrupted or hacked by you or others. MAKE SURE YOU READ AND ABIDE BY THIS, !!!

I only upload to SurClaro, and Sim-Outhouse.com., and sometimes SurClaro.com If you find one of my planes anywhere else, I cannot guarantee its integrity. Whoever re-posted the plane might be better able to help you if you have any trouble, if he did any mods and left an e=mail addy
I have nothing against other sites, I just want to keep things simple, and easy to track.
Good Luck, and have Fun!
