OV-10D, CV-10 native - pointy Bronco...

No, John, thank you. The Broncos have been around on my computers for so long I'd lost track of who's skins came from where and just zipped 'em straight out of my install. Piglets Broncos are the best, wanted that OV-10D and CV-10 native since FSX came out.

Cheers Lazarus, Piglet's Bronco (and Mohawk) are among my favourites. :encouragement:

Same here Tom. . .I just wish I could get the Mohawk to slow down, lol. In the air it's awesome, on the ground it takes forever to slow down after landing and if sitting still it will creep along til it's moving over 60kts.
 
Reverse pitch Ed, she'll stop in a couple hundred yards from touchdown if you use it and the Lycomings growl most impressively as it bites.

For some reason, that has been intermittent in the past. . .sometimes it works, other times it doesn't (using the F2 Key). I tried it on a quick take off and landing at Whidbey Is NAS and it was again intermittent. If I hold the F2 key down constantly it's off, on, off, on, off, on. . .if I hold it at least 5 secs (as some had suggested to me previously) it comes out of reverse pitch as soon as I release the key. Anyway, here's a pic of my "Cavenaugh Flight Museum" OV-1 Mohawk.

The flight dynamics on all the Bronco's could use work- as they stand now, they are most un-STOL STOL aircraft. The Bronco should be able to operate off a LPD/LPH- harharhar-SPLASH! The response into reverse is also glacially slow- start hitting F2 a mile from the threshold and you may get into beta by the time you get to the numbers 10,000 ft down the other end. Great lookers, not so great FDE's- the AN-32 is another one under-performing a bit.
No matter! All in good time, just happy to have some of the old clangers available on the darkside. Oh-ho! Helio Courier...I forgot about that one...

I have to agree, both the Bronco and the Mohawk are excellent aircraft visually, but the FDE's are really wanting.
