I see no record of one by this company for P3D but would love it if you could point me in its direction. With that said, I would presume it’s new for MSFS. If you know of any other high fidelity Norsemans let us know!

Port? I didnt see any C-64 for P3D (payware) so I dont think so.

 

[Paul K]

I'm definitely interested in this. Is that the only picture available ?

 

[YoYo]

The cowling does not look anything like the pictures of the reail aircraft. not a good start.

Agreed. Atleast we get a TV.

To be honest i wasn't a fan of the engine cowling's front of their Goose neither.. Seems they have a bit of a problem with rounding off the front, bending inside nice and smooth. For a company called Big Radials they'd better look into that. ;-)

Besides, *IF* it will ever appear in MSFS i'd trade my Norseman for a DHC-3 Otter instantly. (no turbo please ) (hmmm, maybe keep 'em both..)

Edit: Haste to say bring it on !

Oooo, surprise! Thanks!

Write to them, even on FB if you noticed something wrong. Its a WiP still too.

btw. TV perhaps will have tablet functins and you will can hide/unhide it.

 

[Twice43]

Maybe XP or FSX?
I'll dig around in the File Manager & see if I can find it.

I did fly XP for awhile.

I sent them a note about this and the Goose cowling. Not sure what their problem is with the radius of that cowl. That small opening for the radial takes away from the visual appeal of this aircraft.

Your 'old' Norseman (both versions) still brings much joy to those still using 'legacy' Sims like Nine. In fact, all of the aircraft you compiled still brings lots of enjoyment.

Happy Holidays!

Your old Norseman got me to many places in Alaska in 2002 and beyond!

An exciting development! (pun intended)
Hopefully they patch up the cowling, as nice as having a big radial is, being able to see it behind an appropriate cowling is even better!
but, weird cowling or not, probably a day one purchase for me!

We were discussing the cowling on the BR Discord.

A quick image search will show there was a lot of cowling variety back in the days of the Norseman. In the 30's, these planes weren't stamped out identically on an assembly line...

And if you have a copy of Captains of the Clouds (and every classic aviation fan should!), Cagney's Norseman cowling there was different from any of the above.

So it's not like Big Radials is missing matching a definitive design here. There was a lot of change over the course of building and operating these things.

So BR chose their own style? Lets see a real world design that matches their rendering. I can't be the only one to notice this.
