80+ years of history! They're still flying airshows and who knows where else. Awesome plane!

this is in fact my 100th youtube video!!!!! WOOT

Congrats on the 100th video! This one was great as always. Just so you know, when you start a cold aircraft, the colder more viscous oil requires a higher pressure to push it through the lines. Once the engine warms up the oil, it becomes less viscous and therefor requires less pressure. I really enjoy how much time and effort you put into these videos. Keep up the great work!

wow there quiet a lot of detail for an even a2a add on. looks gorgeous

I wasn't going to buy this plane but then saw this vid. I own the 182 and Comanche and this looks fun to fly also. Many thanks for the entertainment.

Great video Peter I enjoy your long videos thank you. By the way you walked away from the landing, so it was good enough :) Couple additional edits: Next time maybe let us hear the nice engines by keeping the headphones off until after takeoff? And you forgot to show us the GPS! Military aviation isn't my thing but I enjoy watching others fly and hope A2A come out with another nice twin soon.

Awesome product, thanks for the first look video. Congrats on your 100th Video.

LOVE the Trees Mate

Very informative First Look video Peter! Thanks for sharing :-)

Something to keep in mind when priming, you need to continuously pump the manual fuel pressure gauge so there's pressure in the system between every choke :)

Great first look, well done!

The oil can is to drain the oil out of the bottom cylinders so you don’t get too much oil trapped in there while starting the engine and causing the cylinder to blow (hydraulic lock I think it is called). In real life the pilot or whomever would pour the oil that drained into the can back into the engine before flight.

Hi Peter,just a quick note, the "fuel gauge" you pointed at is actually the aerobatic smoke quantity indicator.The actual left fuel gauge is located under the flap handle and the right fuel gauge is located in the same place on the right side of the cockpit

Thanks for this! YOu're helping me ease into the plane!

I love the p51 from a2a. especially when you have to start it cold!

Having flown the real T-6 for over 5 years, I can't wait to buy this and see if it lives up to the real deal.

Great video as always! I'm definitely getting the plane.

Thanks, Peter. Great lookover. Will be flying one ASAP. Please identify the airfield and I will volunteer to reduce the bird population (with a humane click).

On those old warbirds it was all about peripheral vision.

also with the oil pressure, I think it's because of the oil being cold, and probably the pump is trying harder to push the thicker oil around. when it warms it becomes thinner, and it decreases :)

Hi Peter, congrats on the 100th video. It is great. I like your A2A reviews :) What is the sim platform on this one FSX with DX10 fixer or P3D? (I am sure the airport is an ORBX one ) :D

Hi Peter..! I really enjoyed your video, I just want to put my hand on this beatiful bird, made by A2A, as soon as I can. Greeting from Venezuela...!

subscribed. awesome video, nice settings too. what specs are you running? first video ive seen that looks like mine. keep em coming!

what is that camera view you were using at the beginning with the walk around? Is that a new feature or just EZdok?

for better visibility try crabing. bank one way and rudder otherway you will then be able to see out the side window to line up. straight out just befor touch down.

you: "that man 2000 miles away, screaming..." me: 0_o ...how?

Were you running any custom scenery in this flight?

Thanks for this video. I have to add that the A2A T-6 really does not simulate crosswind landing behavior realistically though, nor do any of the A2A planes to date. There is no equilibrium during cross controlling; the ailerons and rudder have to constantly 'fight' one another instead of being balanced out. As a result, maintaining precise alignment of the longitudinal axis of the aircraft with the runway centerline during a crosswind landing is impossible. Add to this the messed up ground friction behavior inherent in both the FSX and P3D platforms, and the aircraft will slide laterally across the runway during crosswind takeoffs and landings (impossible in real life where rubber tires actually grip asphalt). Basically, turn off the wind altogether if you want any semblance of realistic behavior with this or any other A2A plane. In my experience, only Realair simulation aircraft simulate cross controlling properly in FSX/P3D, and realistically perform forward slips. A2A is simply behind the power curve in this respect and it's sad considering all of their other achievements.

What camera mod are you using ?

Peter we can't hear the engine sounds

For war-birds, fighter/training-jets & helis go to DCS World.

What airport and scenery is that?

Thats wierd. Something is wrong with your realism settings! It tends to always drop a wing when stalled :D

Awesome overview! Can't wait to buy and try this out. Btw, here is an very informative pirep and test flight of a real AT6: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mKyIgtN9t8uyl5s.html

Nah! I won't be buying this...unless I can shoot those annoying birds out of the sky. Like other commentators, I will wait for an A2A twin.
