Thanks for the feedback. I can use my created character with proper flight suit and helmet with oxygen mask for now and not use a co-pilot. The model looks fine when configured in this manner but I would hope you are looking for a solution to this as seeing an airline pilot with no oxygen mask is not very realistic unless you were staying below 10,000 feet. I know you stated this is how the new sim handles pilot/character models for the time being but I will keep my fingers crossed that we can have your original pilot and co-pilot in the future. Thank you for moving my post and your consideration on this subject.

In the new MSFS 2024 we have to create a character and I always like to have an authentic looking pilot with appropriate flight suit, helmet and oxygen mask. I find it strange in the simulator that we can not have a properly attired co-pilot. I do like that the size of the pilot is represented as a little better size (as in taller) with the created character. I was hoping that Microsoft/ Asobo will give us more options on the co-pilot or that inibuilds will work on having a new pilot and co-pilot option for us in the future. In any case thank you very much for this new release

I agree Tim-HH. I have no idea what is behind constantly changing the way flightsim aircraft are painted. This was the case when the T-33 was released as noted by many talented painters. It just makes the simulator less desirable to many users. What is wrong with having the ability to represent properly the many aircraft of all types in the real world. It can't be just copyright issues as we see so many freeware liveries of all kinds. This must be so frustrating to the many great artist such as yourself. I have enjoyed the liveries you did for the initial T-33 release. It boggles the mind as to why. Thank you very much.

I love the interest this aircraft has stirred up and the truly knowledgeable people commenting on this T-33. It really shows how many people are so dedicated to aviation and have a perfectionist attitude. Don't ever give up insisting on the best possible quality whether on aircraft or in everyday life. It is always the best recipe for success. Really interesting and informative with all your provided links. Thanks

Amazing looking livery jocko417. I had commented to you about 21013 and various combinations of markings and low and behold you create another beautiful livery of 21168. This is really looking great. I can't believe how fast you are learning to work with the paint kit and forming your template. Your liveries make me reminisce of the good old days when the RCAF had substantial aircraft in service and a much larger force than present. I thank all Canadian military personnel for past and present service. jocko417 your work is truly so nice to see and reinforces my support our Canadian Forces.

I just wanted to let your team know that when using the external view when taking off, the landing gear retracts and doors thunk closed but the sound of the thunk or closing noise is well after the gear is up and doors are closed. I am usually retracting the flaps when I hear the sound for the gear and doors. I don't believe the sound is intended at all for the flaps as I don't think the flap retraction would be that loud. Seems just a matter of adjusting the timing to match when gear and doors close. Just a bit sooner. Love this T-33. Thank you inibuilds

Just wondering which company you picked for the Montreal CYUL airport and is the last screenshot in Montreal.

Wow jocko417. Your attention to detail is amazing and the work on this livery is so well done. When I first saw that many artists not very happy with the paint kit, I just thought that something wasn't quite right when looking at the aft fuselage and the the markings not looking right on the Canadian liveries. You seem to have a great source of personal knowledge on all the aircraft you have been painting as well as really nice photos for comparison. I really hope that inibuilds take this into account. The model would be just that much more accurate and allow painters to properly get the correct decal placement. This is a really good catch on the external model. I will keep my fingers crossed that this might be able to be fixed. It would really be a necessary change as the outlet port is clearly way to low. The electrical ground panel door and the tail nav light being depicted correctly would be very nice to implement into the model. I really hope inibuilds are able to consider doing these changes for accuracy. This T-33 is one of the best military iconic jets in MSFS 2020 and these little improvements would be greatly appreciated if someone could have a look at these few important details. I love the fact that many of the people interested in this aircraft have family that flew the T-33, worked on or have actually had engineering experience with this airframe. Thanks for your dedication and work on the repainting and accuracy to detail jocko417

That looks really nice. Great to see your the nice attention to color and your insignia placement. I am wondering if you are using Blender 3D? I found some really neat info on the T-33's used at 1(F) O.T.U. Chatham N.B. They were using a number of T-33 A's built in Burbank California. They had R.C.A.F. markings. I found five tail numbers used in a 10 exercise course at the end of July 1952. They all had numbers 14678, 14680, 14682, 14687 and 14693. I found a nice set of pictures on Caspir of 14687. Looking really good jocko417

Spoke too soon. I have just been on the inibuilds app and updated. I noted all the changes including optional engine. Looking forward to the new pilots. Thank you

Fuerza Aérea Colombiana. Does that ever look nice!! I am really liking the new update. I am so glad your team brought this aircraft and are continually tweaking so far. I know this has been mentioned about the pilots being too low, but is there anyone able to mod this or perhaps allow for switching from the default pilots? All bare metal liveries are welcome, can't wait for your new liveries. Thanks

Your livery looks very nice. Are you considering releasing it on flightsim.to? This is a nice comparison showing the pilots being too low in the cockpit. My dad was the same stature as me while flying 28 years in the RCAF as a test pilot. at around 145-155 pounds and a smaller stature pilot, he still was sitting very much higher in the cockpit. I would love to see a fix for this in the future. I know inibuilds are aware of this problem. These sequence of photos are of my father doing ejection seat testing on October 8, 1957 near Uplands Ottawa,Ontario. The inibuilds pilots look to be about 4 foot 6 feet tall.

I would like to thank scorpionbc for this really great National Research Council T-33. I took a screen right over the whole NRC compex in Ottawa and another showing the close proximity to Rockliffe airport. I remember my father in his uniform telling my mom that he was just heading up to the NRC. I just remember it the National Research Council sounded important to a kid as well as Rockliffe and Uplands( now Macdonald-cartier International Airport. I found three different houses we lived in just a short distance from the NRC and Rockliffe. Thanks for the great livery and old memories.

Just the last couple of shots.

Here are a few more showing the location of an RCAF dummy ejection test. I used google maps, my father's log books and this real photo to find the location in Ottawa, Ontario. The Locks in the photo are the Rideau Canal Lockstation 13 Black rapids. I believe the ejection took place heading in a southerly direction just about to cross the Rideau River. Take off from Ottawa International YOW from runway 25 and the Locks are on the right going over the Rideau River. I am quite sure looking at the photo that the aircraft was easily at or below 1000 feet AGL. The path of flight was clearly descending. An awful lot to pay attention to when doing low altitude testing. You can even see a small square building and rectangular long building in the photo, screens and google maps. Thanks inibuilds

I just wanted to thank inibuilds for this excellent T-33 and share a few screenshots of a fictional T-33. Thanks to mgr (Marcel) for his original bare metal mod. My livery works with the new update as well which is great. I just wanted some RCAF dayglo for cruising around Cold Lake, AB. I am not trying to be harsh but for me the new paint kit is so confusing. I think I would need 4 years of schooling and 2 years at my computer to do a proper livery (just kidding). I really find this to be a really immersive plane in the sim. I am not a great navigator and don't look at the systems as close as others but for pure enjoyment in MSFS 2020 this is at the top of my favorites.

In response to "Do-oh!" It's all good. I am sure it wouldn't have that type of impact. I recommend having this plane in your hangar and want to see more in the future. The developer is very aware that customers have spoken about the painting of this T-33. I believe they are not just going to disregard all the feedback but would obviously be back try to improve things in a timely manner. It has only been a few days.

I would like to thank inibulds for releasing this really nice aircraft. I would also like to say thanks for paying so much attention to all of the feedback. It is a long weekend here in Canada so Thanks to your whole team. Any news on timeline for more Premiere aircraft coming in the future? I am really liking this plane. I think Your Collaboration with Gregory 'Wired' Colyer has really payed off. We can all have our thoughts and opinions but I also look at it as a brand new, therefore requiring much testing and feedback to the manufacturer. We would all love perfection on release but I for one am very happy. Thank You

I tried to post this screenshot on flightsim.to but it didn't seem to want to upload. My comment was "We have a Shooting Star" Hope you don't mind if I share this shot of your work. Thanks again

I just tried your mod and it is amazing. This totally brings out the detail, all I could do was just pan around and stare at the bare metal version. The doublers on the fuselage look so real. This should have been included in the tablet with a simple click. So appreciated Thanks very much

You are correct joco417. Sim Works Studios partnered with inibuilds for this T-33. I think you're right that there is just a mix up with the names between the two developers. I am just going to try out a reflective mod for the T-33 which will get the Thunderbirds livery and the plain livery to have a shiny metal texture. I think there is hope for that we may see some great liveries soon.

I reviewed an old post where it was mentioned. In the post it said it was not officially announced. I must have been suffering with T-33 delusions for along time now. Forgive me if I got anyone's hopes up. I hope inibuilds gets to work on some more of their intended Premiere Aircraft Series. The UK connection is making me hope for possibly a Gloster Meteor a Vampire, (Vampire TII) even though we have some really nice renditions of these aircraft. The Hawker Hunter would be nice or just because I just like experimental aircraft the whole series of Avro 707's.

Yes. As far as I know the T-33 was also being done by Sim Skunk Works. The same developer who developed both the FRF-104G and the TRF 104G. I would have picked up both versions to try and still plan to if another T-33 comes to the sim regardless who makes it.

JK's work is well known and so appreciated. I also think very highly of the artists and their opinions. Thanks for your numbers list earlier Wrap23👍. I think this aircraft having such a history with many countries is the reason many of us are just wanting any polished aluminum liveries. I happen to be on the crazy Canuck side so would love to see the RCAF black and red knight, polished RCAF early variants. I just think the T-33 looked so nice with the hi vis tip tanks and anti glare. Thanks Jankees. Honesty is the best policy. I hope we can see T-33 paints of yours one day. There is another in development. I hope they take note.

I have to agree with your statement on the artists and painting liveries Editer (well said) but the cat story is the funniest thing I have heard all day😂.I wonder how many g,s you pulled with your co-pilot clinging to the seat. Good to hear your still at the daily grind jocko417. Hopefully it will get sorted out. I am just enjoying for now. All the best to the developers ,artist and great people in the community.
