You'll need the "Nord3202solo" from the same team for the sound and gauges.

Edit; Sorry, forgot to include it's at AvSim.

Thanks Dave!
I first heard about this new FsX native from OleBoy this morning in the native freeware thread and it is a very pretty plane indeed!

Thanks Dave for the HU on this aircraft, and a big thank you to the Restauravia Team.

Downloaded both from their site, installed and test flown, no problems found and a really nice aircraft to fly.


Many thanks


Bruce.

It's a real honeybun, ain't it!?! Love the grotty cockpits!

Moreover, the Nord 3202 (that's required for full panel and sounds) is a very nifty thing in itself! They both fill a wee void in my Simming, and thus they're both keepers. Love to see some North-American repaints for these.

Many thanks, Dave, Bruce, and alcon, for the HU on two peachy little aerodynes!

Roger,

I must ask: Where'd you get the Quiberon scenery? I presume it's for FSX, and I'm guessing it's part of a payware scenery package (VFR France?).

Enquiring minds gots ta know!

 

[Roger]

Hi Jon,
It's a freeware package and I will try and remember where I got it, lol.

 

[Roger]

I've found where it used to be http://lesscenesdugolfe.pagesperso-orange.fr/ but for some reason it seems to have been pulled.

By the time I got to trying the link that Roger provided, it worked perfectly. Very nice, crisp, scenery of very high-quality, with ambient sound, no less!

For those who may be interested, the site offers two small airfields: LFEQ Quiberon and LFRV Meucon (Vannes), which are over on the Atlantic coast of France, and located about 21 miles apart. These make a nice little "pair" for quick jaunts in these nice little Nords.

If I were going to put together a nice little demo flight for someone who was thinking about getting into Flight Simming, these two sceneries, plus either of these two aircraft would be a perfect fit, imo. Nice and easy-going, pretty, rustic, and not at all intimidating. Also great for a nice little after-supper hop.

What a pity: the 3202 is not DX10 compatible !!

Good news: the 3400 is DX10 compat. So I moved the 3202 gauges, sound and effects on to the 3400
As a result everything is in order and 3400 amazingly beautiful and enjoyable to fly
Thanks to the authors

I would love to but the MDL doesnt have a bumpmap pass as a material layer,so(unless i missed an app that let you add your own material passes) id need Gilles Faulmeyer & Restauravia Team to add support for one and recompile the MDL so i could make one for her

Cheers
