Purchase the T-6/A Texan II

The IRIS Pro Series T-6/A Texan II has been designed from the ground up with T-6/A Pilots, Students and fans in mind. From the word go, we knew we had something very special in mind with this product. As a result of the hard work from the IRIS in-house development team and some key external contractors, we hope to bring you the most realistic rendition of the T-6/A Texan II for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Rest assured however that it doesn't end there! The initial release of the product is only the beginning. We will continue to develop this product even after it has been released to the public, ensuring that as our technical experience grows, this T-6/A Texan II will be constantly enhanced to provide you with what we hope to be, an end product which is 99% identical to the real aircraft from the flight modelling down to the systems simulated.

And as the development continues we will be bringing you the next generation T-6/B Texan II and combat capable AT-6/B Texan II.

On behalf of myself and the development team here at IRIS, we hope you enjoy what you find here on our website dedicated to the IRIS Pro Series of products and hope you come back soon.

T-6A Texan II Service Pack 1 now available to download!

Released today is the first Service Pack for our fantastic T-6/A Texan II product. SP1 features a number of enhancements and user requested modifications over the RTM version of the software such as a dedicated Multiplayer model for FS2004 owners, added paintkit and a concept AT-6/A in three new liveries for FSX with working HUD for those with the Acceleration expansion pack!

The full list of specifics altered in SP1 are below. As always we thank everyone for their fantastic feedback on this product which allows us to continue improving this aircraft.

SP1 ammendments;

- Parasite drag coefficient increased and thrust scalar reduced for more realistic torque values based on feedback from UPT pilots.

- Nosecones on all applicable aircraft now have corrected chrome effect.
- Tail Skid on all models now mapped correctly so that two sided texturing can be added.
