iniBuilds T-33 Jet Trainer Released

Just curious guys, can anyone help? I have the T-33 installed. It went directly into the Community folder ( not my choice). However, it's not showing in the Aircraft Selection within the sim. I tried to update the .json file today and got an error message saying the "name was too long". Maybe a clue? I used to see it, and flew it often, but I'm no longer able. Not sure what happened. I looked into redownloading from the Inibuilds site, but that's not an option, I guess once it's purchased that's all you get.. Any suggestions?
 
Another new one, 21303 of No. 3 All-Weather (Fighter) Operational Training Unit, RCAF Station North Bay, Ontario, circa mid-1950s.

3 AW (F) OTU was the training unit for pilots learning to fly the CF-100 interceptor. T-33s attached to this OTU carried it's "Night Witch" unit crest.

Curiously, these T-33s had no anti-glare paint on the inboard side of the tip tanks.

Now I can catch up with you Joel thanks!

BTW, thank you for continuing these RCAF liveries and honouring our aviation history. You know how much I love RCAF liveries!
It's frustrating to me how our stuff gets buried over there on FS.to. Fine detailed artwork, historic aircraft, should have it's own gallery I think. But then...it would probably be judged, "worthy for the gallery" by AI, or some part-timer, and that can't be good. Maybe, just as well.
I know It shouldn't matter that our liveries fade-away-after-a-week-in-a-barrage-of-passenger jet-liveries (afterall, we're not trying to be popular) but it kinda does, ya know? I just searched "T-33" and your amazing liveries showed up on page 6. I don't understand how search results are listed, something is not right over there. Anyway, thanks!

The T-33 is definitely a "niche" aircraft, especially with today's generation. I'm actually appalled by the level of ignorance/apathy displayed these days about Canada's military history, makes you wonder what is being taught in our schools. Ask a kid about East Germany/West Germany and the Cold War and you'll receive a blank stare... I'm starting to sound like an old grouch :)
 
21083 of 4 Advanced Flying School, RCAF Station MacDonald, Manitoba, mid-1950s.

Subject aircraft had yellow tips on it's tanks, I've also seen pics of blue tips. Makes me speculate that the colour denoted which Flight the aircraft was assigned to ("Flight" in this case refers to a sub-unit of a squadron/school, similar to "Platoon" in the army; aircraft could be assigned to A Flight, B Flight, C Flight etc).

Pictured at Brandon, Manitoba about an hour ago. Note the pristine WW2 buildings in the right background. I hope someone recreates CYBR some time, it is home to the BCATP Museum. IMG_1745.jpeg
