Beechcraft Mentor T34B for FSX/P3D

Once again, Carenado has developed a stunning add-on package for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, this time in the form of US Navy trainer: the Beechcraft Mentor T34B. With a tandem cockpit, this single-engined prop aircraft was used by the US Navy for training purposes up until the early 1970's. Now that Carenado has introduced the T34B into the world of FSX, making sure to accommodate SP2 and Acceleration users, it can be re-purposed for use however you see fit, be that sightseeing or stunning aerobatics.

Two different polygon optimized models are included in this package, a two-blade, and a three-blade propeller. High quality, optimized models like these retain great detail and accuracy, while helping to mitigate any strain on performance. The models are made even more attractive by fantastic mapping, that is used to create realistic lighting, reflections and dynamic shadows that make the aircraft come to life while flying over the landscapes below. On top of that, advanced bloom effects can come in to offer a more cinematic experience. Three liveries, in particular, the bare metal variation, play a vital role in facilitating these wonderful visual effects. A host of moving parts, from fully animated cockpit doors and cargo, to ailerons, elevators and even a moving pilot, flesh out the aircraft and solidify its place in the simulated environment.

Inside the interactive virtual cockpit, you'll find two available cockpit areas, each complete with custom panels and gauges. Nightlight effects in the cockpit reveal great internal dynamic shadows on the panels and interior environment. The cockpit, effectively being one big window, allows you to take in some spectacular sights regardless of which seat you happen to be in. The T34B is potentially a great aircraft for sightseeing.

The T34B's flight dynamics have been carefully calculated to reflect Beechcraft's own documents, as well as pilots observations and experiences. Needless to say, this version of the T34B both behaves and feels very much like it's true-life counterpart. With all parts working together, visuals, sounds and a genuine feel, Carenado's Mentor T34B is a solid, fun aircraft that can take on many roles.
