Recognisable with its unique silhouette, the OV-10 Bronco is one of the most famous light attack and observation aircraft. Initially developed in the 1960s and extensively used in several countries, it has proven to be a durable and flexible platform, and is still flying today in various roles, including firefighting.
With its short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities, the Bronco can operate from unimproved sites and even from aircraft carriers. Its manoeuvrability and a cockpit that offers unparalleled visibility make it a pleasure to fly.
The development has been conducted along with real OV-10 pilots, helping us to reproduce the aircraft faithfully, especially its famous fixed-shaft turboprop engines. We also had access to a flying Bronco from which we were able to gather everything we needed for the development, from pictures to sound recordings.
We once more pushed our limits compared to our previous aircraft to provide you an immersive experience. All the systems have been reproduced and are functional, based on a great layer of custom code.
Our work is based on the OV-10 Bronco from the Musée Européen de l'Aviation de Chasse in Montélimar, France, hence our model has an OV-10B interior and we propose both OV-10A and OV-10B variants for the exterior model, depending on the livery.
