iniBuilds stated in a post on their forum, that the iniBuilds T-33 Jet Trainer, developed in collaboration with SimWorks Studios, is now fully compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. This update brings advancements in realism and visual fidelity, aligning with the enhanced capabilities of MSFS2024.
About the T-33 Jet Trainer
The Lockheed T-33 Jet Trainer, a two-seat derivative of the P-80 Shooting Star, stands as a classic aircraft in aviation history. Developed in the late 1940s, it became a popular option for jet training and combat missions used by over 20 air forces worldwide, like the German Bundesluftwaffe. Renowned for its robust design and forgiving flight characteristics, the T-33 played a crucial role in training generations of pilots during the early jet age.
MSFS2024 Compatibility and Key Features
New interaction points allow for greater realism, with functional elements like engine covers, chocks, and pitot covers directly impacting aircraft operations. For example, forgetting to remove the engine cover will prevent the engine from starting, or not removing the chocks leads to the aircraft being stuck in its position. This adds a new layer of operational immersion for all fans of the new walkaround mode. Interaction points have also been added for primary flight control surfaces and landing gear, with wear-and-tear mechanics integrated into the career mode of MSFS2024. This feature reflects the aircraft’s usage over time, adding an extra layer of authenticity to long-term operations.
The iniBuilds T-33 Jet Trainer features updated textures to meet MSFS2024 standards, ensuring every rivet and panel is rendered in stunning detail. Enhanced lighting effects were introduced for dynamic experiences during dawn, dusk, and night missions, while the modular file structure improves performance on both PC and Xbox platforms. Speaking of performance, the cockpit functionality is upgraded with smoother digital screens thus leading to improved performance. For everyone enjoying the screams of the engine, the sound profiles were overhauled for richer audio, both inside and outside the cockpit.
