The OV-10 Bronco is a twin engine, twin tail boom multi purpose airplane developed in 1968. It was developed for reconnaissance, forward air control and light transport missions. It is a single pilot airplane but has a second seat for an observer or instructor behind the pilot. The plane has a cargo-bay that can be used to drop paratroopers. The Bronco was liked because of its ability to fly low and slow.
Dimensions:
Wingspan 40.0ft (12.2m)
Length 39.7ft (12.1m)
Height 15.1ft (4.6m)
Engine
The bronco is equipped with two turboprops producing around 715 hp each. They share one fire extinguishing bottle.
Propellers
Each engine drives a tree blade, constant speed, counter-rotating propeller. Pitch and reverse thrust can be adjusted using the power levers.
Performance
The Bronco is known to be a little underpowered, especially in warm weather and with high takeoff weights.
Known issues
- Power/Condition Lever logic.
- Engine start logic.
- White registration decals. Removed decal.
- Sound (all aspects).
- No ice visible in icing conditions. Manual advises strongly not to fly in icing conditions.
- No side view propeller blades.
- Fast taxi speed (is realistic but the normal mitigating action is not working).
- No spinning spinner.
- Not able to crash? I have looked into this but can not find the solution.
- Wipers on on other Bronco's in sim. Standard Asobo template.
Tips and tricks
- Checklist working (please support feedback). Nice to get to know the Bronco better.
- Moved the tips and tricks to the manual.
I would like to thank the following:
- Daviswj for all the detailed feedback!
