The OV-10 Bronco (North American, Rockwell) is a 2 turboprop plane for FlightGear is available for 0.9.10 and 1.0.0. The OV-10 model was worked on and used by the OV-10 Bronco Association Museum Simulator Project, in a custom simulation installation at the [[OV-10 Bronco Association Museum]].  (see [http://www.flightgear.org/Projects/obam/ Here]).
 
The OV-10 package for FlightGear contains three versions of the airplane:  A U.S. Air Forces Europe version, which models an OV-10A assigned to the 601st Tactical Control Wing at Sembach Airbase, Germany;  A California Department of Forestry version, used for fire fighting command and control; and a NASA version, used for atmospheric and aerodynamic research. Each model not only features customized exterior texture, but also relevant changes to the 3D models, and flight systems.

"The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco is a turboprop-driven light attack and cargo aircraft. Although it is a fixed-wing aircraft, its mission capabilities resemble a fast, long-range, inexpensive and reliable ultra-heavy attack helicopter. It flies at 244 knots (452 kilometers/hour), carries 3 tons of external munitions, and easily loiters for 3 or more hours. It is prized for its versatility, redundancy, load, wide field of view, short-field ability, low operational costs and ease of maintenance."
