FSX Nord 2501 Noratlas released...

This is great news. The Noratlas had a long history with the HAF, some of it bloodstained in Cyprus 1974. During my service a few hulks were still in Elefsis AB and I was doing guard service next to them.

I will venture making two repaints for it, one with the original grey-green and one with the later "SEAC" colours.

Any chance of some Green nosed paints? Ive seen one of these at a display and was always captivated by it as a child, but have no idea why lol.
 
Seeing as I see hide nor hair of a set of blanks, or paint kit, and people are baying for painted blood already....

I 'reverse engineered' a set of plain bare metal textures from the three included, plain, with only warning labels, alphas too. Hope this helps folks, alternatively, if you just want a blank metal one, add it as a repaint in its own rights :p

I do look forward to seeing the HAF paints btw!

(I'll be trying my hand at some IAF ones)

Thank you! I appreciate it.

I will not be painting blood. The story behind this action is too emotional and sensitive as a Noratlas full of troops was shot down by friendly AA fire.

I must clarify that the expression meant something else... people want aircraft painted... they are 'baying for blood' and I mixed the two... I in no way meant ACTUAL Blood... Wouldn't suggest it. I apologize for any misunderstanding or pain.
 
What a GREAT addon! Thanks to developers!!!

It will start wit Ctrl-E, but won't continue running. I certainly can't work it out from the pics, so if anyone can tell me, I'd be most grateful.

Cheers

Dougal, check my post above (#7); below the screenshots I posted how to start the engines. :)
 
Thanks Ferry_VO for the hints (message #7) to get the plane started and continue running.

Interesting I could start using ctrl-E in the external view of the plane and fly in this view, but as soon as I switched views to the cockpit the engines stopped.

No problem at all Firekitten. I really appreciate the response. Let's go put some paint on now.:running:
 
Click on the yoke like little button in the button array next to the throttle quadrant and it will appear, sporting a nice clock on it.
 
As for keeping the engines running... keep the RPM over 1000 and they stay up :)


I'm planning on a civil scheme first perhaps, though I may get the IAF one done too...

Btw, anyone else having intesting cruise attitudes with it nose down about 2-3 degrees?
 
I think this actually flew like that, I'm sure I heard or read one of the French pilots saying something about it having an unusual attitude "feeling" but I may well be completely off the ball there also. :icon29:

Found it! Doh! Right in front of me.

Another quick question. Can the window reflections be removed be removed from the VC?
