the T-28A donationware version
The T-28 Trojan will never be a considered a beautiful
aircraft like sleek piston powered fighters such as the Mustang and Spitfire. The
aircraft 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.
Typical cruise speeds for the T-28D are 180 to 200 kts with
30 in Hg of manifold pressure and 2000 rpm. Climb rates can approach 4000 fpm.
This
aircraft is based upon the T-28D “Huff ‘n’ Puff” from Warbird Aviation at Archerfield
http://www.warbirdaviation.com.au
The T-28 is available as two packages. The initial
package was for the T-28D only. The second package is for the T-28B and T-28C (the
Navy versions).
INSTALLATION
The installer for T28 will come as a zip package. It will contain two
installer programs and a read me file. Please run both installer programs (the second
one contains the models for the bomb and rockets weapons).

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN T-28A, T-28D and T-28B/C

more power (1425hp vs 800hp) than the T-28A then Ant’s Airplanes sells two T-28 packages,

compatibility for the Attack model. Note that VRS TacPack is a 3rd party add-on and
not included with the Trojan. Also note that at the moment TacPack is only compatible
with FSX and P3Dv3 or earlier (VRS TacPack website). Also note that at the moment
the bomb used is the 500lb bomb as there is currently not a 100lb bomb in TacPack.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Microsoft's Flight Simulator
X SP2, Acceleration or FSX Gold or FSX:Steam Edition or Lockheed Martin Prepar3D
v1 to v4
- Windows XP SP3, Vista or 7
- Hard drive space: Approx 350MB for A model,
770MB for B/C models, 570MB for D model
This is an addon aircraft for Microsoft’s
Flight Simulator X SP2, FSX:Steam Edition or Lockheed Martin’s Prepar3D V2 or higher.
You therefore need either Microsoft's Flight Simulator X with Service Pack 2, Acceleration
or FSX Gold (which includes Acceleration) or FSX:Steam Edition or Prepar3D V2 or
higher. The aircraft will not work with FSX RTM or SP1.
The installer for the T-28
contains the FSX and P3D V2 versions. The Prepar3D V2 version of the T-28 is NOT
compatible with FSX or Prepar3D V1.4 or earlier.
The Trojan is a considerably detailed
aircraft and therefore places a large load on your computer. I can only recommend
that you download the T28A version to test the performance of the T-28 on your sytem.
The T-28A includes the Solo and Attack versions only but it will give a very good
indication of how well the T-28B/C and T-28D versions will work on your system.
