DCS: OV-10A Bronco Testing and Flight Dynamics Analysis

- I took the new Split Air mod OV-10A Bronco thru its paces. The mod has good handling flight dynamics, realistic delay on the engines, and is one of the overall good free mods. It does have a couple of opportunities to improve it, but overall, a very good one.
This video does not go over the systems or graphics and its strictly focused on flight dynamics.

Thank you for your good testing and feedback, all the mod will be improve with time
I hope you enjoy this mod :)
Can't wait to download this mod... It looks a lot of fun! Is it using the EFM?
@@GotSpaceGame Yes it does
Wow... great video! Thx for sharing the flight info.
Good video. Already took off and landed on the Tarawa. 450' remaining empty 1/2 fuel dipped a bit, but raised the gear as we left the bow. It will do better using more of the available runway, but either min fuel w/weapons or unarmed for recce. Better land based for combat. Dragged it over the stern at about 80. Landed and applied reverse. I'll work on the "Break" today-use your 600' at the 180 for a nice tight approach. I remember them in NC and Okinawa until they got grounded. Played golf weekly with one the Bronco drivers. USMC grounded them in 1984. Never knew ehy.
I do think the Bronco is a seriously cool aircraft. Just this last Monday I saw a giant scale rc OV-10 at an rc airshow. I'd guess it had at least a 72" wingspan and 2 gas powered radial engines.
This is a cool mod, really beautiful cockpit in particular. My first impression of the handling is that it is the easiest plane I've ever flown in a sim. The guns are very accurate too
This will help me a lot.
Taxing is a biggest challenge for me. I binded wheel left/right brake to my rudder pedal brake L/R (axis command) and I have a hard time to steer the a/c the way I wanted.
OV-10 doesn't have much of a break in the stall. Unless you pull a lot of alpha very abruptly. That was the first thing we did during a shakedown cruise. That dirty stall is about what it looked like. Didn't come down very hard though.
Must be like one of those new light sports, we couldnt full stall it, even at 20 kts. I've also flown some nose heavy planes where the stick just couldnt hold up the nose anymore, so nose sank forward slowly, no chance to break stall.
How was the stick authority at lower speeds on the OV-10A?
@@FSX404 Very very mushy at all speeds. Took lots of deflection to get any roll or pitch. Rudder was aggressive between 70-140 knots. Kinda felt like a really heavy short-wing piper. Like, an overloaded Pacer. Not quite like I imagined it. This looks like it could use some tuning. But it's remarkably close, considering it's just a mod. Can't figure how they got it that close without a full FM.
@@Taliyon thanks, it is a full FM model I think, all C++ programming, just add more conditions as you need them. The ED kit just makes some things easier, not having it doesnt limit flight development models, only C++ and dev knowledge does.They should be able to update it to closer if they got it this far.
Problem is devs have to interpret what the pilots say, and translation is not always accurate, lol.
@@FSX404 I didn't realize! Very cool. It's good to see growth. DCS has come a long way. Thank you for showcasing this mod. It deserves attention. Well done!
@@Taliyon anytime 👍🏻... does it really get 30+ deg/sec instantaneous turn at 220-250 kts?
P.S. let menknow on my discord (in the description), if these guys are open to updating the mod, we can give them a few pointers
man i wish this was an official dcs addon. i really want it, but also want other players to see it while its used. not a stand in model
I don't have any experience with the Bronco IRL however I have flown light aircraft with this level of pitch authority even post stall so it may be correct.
No its not, it has a mushy stall, like one of those planes that just doesnt want to drop and staus stubbornly up.
Awesome...sounds nothing like a Bronco, but awesome none the less
Is there a link to the free download? I cant find..thanks for the review.
Only place I know is thru their discord discord.gg/r7y9xdm4
I can't seem to spawn this as a client without the dreaded CTD...
Go to the Split Air discord and see what it could be discord.gg/r7y9xdm4
