Dear authors of the OV-10A Bronco model, please, take the following things into account:


- OV-10A Bronco USAFE and NASA '''share the same paintjob''' and loadout, as I understand it will chnage together with the release of the 0.9.11 FlightGear

- OV-10A Bronco USAFE is available for '''separate download''', while it is included in the 3-version package, I think, the separate download could be deleted, so that only the 3-version package is left

Apart from the small issues mentioned above, the model is great! It feels and looks complete in almost all aspects: good flight model, animated body (flaps, gear, ailerons, elevators, rudders), neat 3D-cockpit, nice sounds, working systems, lights etc. Many thanks for it. I fly it very often.

Dear authors of the OV-10A Bronco model, please, take the following things into account:

- USAFE and NASA share the same paintjob and loadout (as I understand, there will be a new NASA version, when FlightGear 0.9.11 is released)

- USAFE version is available as a separate download, while it is included in the 3-version package at the same time, the separate download could be deleted, so that only the 3-version package is left

- Landing gear is a bit higher, than the ground surface, it visually hangs in the air, when the airplane is standing on the ground (it is noticable when shadow is on), though the gap between the landing gear and the ground surface is very small

- CDF version has no instruments and controls in its 3D-cockpit, the cockpit is a flat foto-texture (as I understand, CDF version will receive a 3D-cockpit, when FlightGear 0.9.11 is released)

- Engines start-up/turn-off is not possible (only fuel flow can be cut), as I understand it will also change, when FlightGear 0.9.11 is released

- Outside lights are present, but they can't be switched on/off and they actually don't light

The above mentioned things correspond to v20060619 of your model, that is available for download from the FlightGear official site.

Apart from the small issues mentioned above, the model is great! It feels and looks complete in almost all aspects: good flight model, animated body (flaps, gear, ailerons, elevators, rudders), neat 3D-cockpit, nice sounds, working systems, lights etc. Many thanks for it. I fly it very often.
