FlightGear's T-38 is included in [FlightGear 1.0 default aircraft]] and several previous releases. It can be selected from [[FlightGear Launch Control]] or with <tt> T38 </tt> from the command line. | |||
The current model uses a 2D cockpit, and supports display of AI aircraft objects on an air-air radar screen. See the Aircraft/Instruments/radar.xml file for details, or fly the T-38 for a demo. Yes, the T-38 does not actually have radar, but it was chosen here to be the demonstrator aircraft for radar. It also demonstrates how instruments can be minimized and maximized in 2D panels. | |||

"In the mid-1950s, the USAF required a trainer with higher performance than the T-33 to better prepare student pilots for the latest tactical aircraft that were then coming into service. The aircraft chosen was the T-38A which offered high performance with low maintenance and operating costs. The T-38A became the USAF's first supersonic trainer."
