The Long range version was known as "Gas n Guns" . I will be happy as long as their are no Kibbles an Dog Treats

This is correct, BUT you can substitute this map case for any avionics your heart desires, originallt it was a deep glove box style with no door.. your papers lay in it, with a downward decline front to rear... wasn't much of a box though... good for cookie toss when trying an immelman.. and those were not "hardpoint manipulation panels" they were Mark 4 weapons selection panelsThe military versions come, when we keep the glareshield/gunsight area in focus, pretty originally. There will be no 3d GPS in them, as it was in reality....
When i understood that right, there was some map case centered above the glareshield and beside the hardpoint manipulation panels....

I posted here previously somewhere that PAINT schemes in color were given to command authority only however individual paint was up to the descretion of the unit command, this is why you see so so many different schemes from the Marines to the Air Force. The USN wanted the Bronco due to it's implied carrier capability. The Air Force was never sure of WHAT to do with the Bronco... The Marines were slobbering all over themselves BECAUSE of the Bronco's capability in CAS operations which was proven in the battle over hill 28, and the "A" shau valley. and it was VMO-2 that had the "White Wing" on top with a black and white checkerboard port and starboard. this was to assist the "fast Movers" (Jets) in finding the FAC from above, so they would not drop a surprise on his head. another little fact for you, Bronco pilots did not have a knee board so to say, their just was no time or space for one, If the driver received a coordinate call for assistance or whatever, the CANOPY served as a hell of a chalkboard, except the chalk was a grease pencil, IF you ever goto NAS Pensacola, and look close at the bird they have on display you can still see where LtCdr Dave Wenchel used green grease pencil on his port side.

OUTSTANDING........ The USAF museum would be proud.

Just curious about why ? VMO-1..... They did not receipt the first OV10

The paint looks well enough, but the blue is the wrong color. Try RGB values of 43,164,219 instead.
The bottom of the booms and fuselage should be white as well.
Have you been up close and personal, the color selection is dead on..... it is brighter than you think .

Retrofit @ 1800 hours was a very common factor in Vietnam, and you would not believe some repairs made on the fly (no pun). Bottom line is that many Broncos could take a licking and keep on ticking. Combat did not spare these birds from the harshness of lack of maintenance, many pilots with mechanical skills took to doing their own repairs... in one of my earlier posts I told of how bypassing this or that totally altered the operations of the engines, and or avionics, many other birds became the NAPA store of vietnam, my bird, for example had no egt/tit gauge, but between my squadron firends, and an airforce tech sergeant I had a cute pair of voodoo gauges, another friend of mine had the attitude from a 337, I think you get my meaning. The Bronco was and still today is a tough mean little bird, If their was a bumper sticker at the time it would have said something like Don't #### with me, The rest of my family are PHANTOMS....... Not only could this bird be pacifist to ride the roll of FAC, but could well dish it out.... ask charlie

PLEASE !!!! tell me you will have an "A" model with cat III loadout for FERRY meaning 1 230 gal belly tank, 2 100 gal wing hardpoint tanks ? This was the configuration when an airframe was ferried from "PO" city (Olongapo) Phillipines or Clark Field, to Danang or Bien Hoa. I just don't have anymore fingernails left

1 more..... Boeing is being contracted for the BroncoX (no kiddin this is it's name) to be outfitted with glass cockpit (no expected other changes other than powerplant upgrade) why not do 1 just for the heck of it. !
-
Would be nice to have a NOGS for FSX, wouldn't it
-
Beautiful repaint! But I have worked only after add in a textures folder file "texture.cfg". Without it ,the VC was black.
What you need to do is copy all files from the cactus I have here to the nasa folder, but DO NOT overwrite any file it asks you to.. then your files will be intact... and all will be fine... text back if you do not understand...... thank you for the dl

Will you sanction my Porterville repaint...........
-
Also,, I have found my default flight (other than FSX default) caused me a great headache, until I deleted it, then situations and nulls, returned to normal... hope this helps.

To the powers that be.... due to the extreme possibility of Pirate copies I do not wish my paints to be uploaded to public sites, avsim, sim-outhouse, etc etc.. My anti-piracy fight is difficult enough as it is

My son just purchased a second Navion for parts, unkempt, unclean...looked like something from a junkyard, but the maintenance log was in wrose condition.... had an extra fuel tank in the baggage area, corrosion galore, but the power plant was immaculate, frame spars clean no corrosion, so it is in the shop now having all the corrosion removed... a second Navion... ? 7 years ago My son and I had a shot at a Bronco out of Buenos Aieres, 4 blade Lycomb engines 1150HP ea. US refused to let us import..... what a loss.
-
never mind

Snave my friends are my ground crew, between my son and myself, we have a 1947 Navion in War Colors, We have a 1990 Piper Aztec, About the only thing we pay for is metelergy, The reason is that both airframes are available to our extended family anytime they require it, Checkrides, joyrides, business, etc, etc. please excuse my spelling, some days i am sharper than others. Finn I am not being negative of what your team has accomplished, quite the opposite... Ya just need to remember the K.I.S.S. principle... believe it or not, what you build here today reflects on our leaders of tomorrow.

No Aerosoft follower here has or will redicule your work,,,right or wrong.. it is a simple thing.........you asked, we responded... What your supporters want to know are the simple things, added extras should remain surprises (sort of like going to a movie you've seen before) simple things what models, what stores, what paints ? this would answer 197% of their questions... I do the paints only because God has given me the ability, I bring kids onto my ranch every summer to share my livestock with (horse, goats, racoons, skunks..etc...etc.. and every now and then some child sees photos of my aircraft on the wall, and then it becomes an all day conversation, and a lot of times.... a yougster goes from animals and things kids like, and they become future aviators.. Out of around 850 5th and 6th grade kids in the last 10 years, I can give you 5 names that have had their solos in the last year.. MAKES YOU PROUD. GOD BE WITH YOU.

will upload this sometime today......... I warn you though, the striping on the sponsons does show model deformities.......

Perhaps you should also overhaul the checklist to optimise startup procedure, in the current release if an individual follows "BY PROCEDURE" protocol, he must run preflight check.... and then upon reaching pre-start checklist he must complete items he accomplished during preflight.... in order to lessen this function... 1st protocol is "THE WALKAROUND... then pre=operation systems check... then=pre-start..etc..etc.. to make it a more procedural checklist... you must avoid redundancy. this is the reason for the checklist to begin with. ACCURACY not redundancy. In short an individual who utilizes the checklist must first to become accurate enough to know that when he pulls himself up onto the gunwale of the aircraft JUST by sense is able to know when something was completed improperly during the aircrafts previous flight.... It never shocked me that in MOST slip seat Broncos were shutdown without the props being unfeathered (bypassing) procedures of the checklist. also I noticed in your Bronco, NO CHIPLIGHTS, chip lights were on when an ignition was on while the engine was off.... light would go off after the engine reached 40% rpm active... also active system test lights were not necessary seeing as how when the aircraft was connected to external power or when going thru active pre-start check ALL CAUTION SYSTEMS (warning lights) were on.... Being accurate is far more important than being real. Ask ANY pilot who is a private owner, I guarentee you, he can tell you EXACTLY the position of each switch in his pit before he re-enters the aircraft. also I offered assistance to you, of which you have declined, based on source. If you needed my credentials, perhaps I could have forwaded them to you. But at this point, your minds have been made-up... and all you will be releasing is another version of a european aircraft, not realising it will be totally exempt of North American style i.e. Check what your Altimeter says in the small window, america still today runs on SAE, not metrics. So you will have probably already decided to finish what you have started. so beit... Not reducule, but fact. You gentlemen have done an excellent job on the Bronco... and I commend you. sincerely John
