AzurPoly’s OV-10 Bronco is now available for Microsoft Flight Simulator

After months of anticipation, the day has finally arrived! AzurPoly’s OV-10 Bronco, a storied aircraft known for its robust versatility and military history, is now available for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This release is particularly promising from AzurPoly, following up on their previous C-160 Transall with another military aircraft. Despite their differences, it continues to cement the developer’s reputation as one of the most respected in the community.

AzurPoly’s OV-10 Bronco was developed in collaboration with real OV-10 pilots and is based on detailed studies of a still-active Bronco. It’s arguably the most comprehensive and accurate rendition of the OV-10 Bronco ever made for flight simulation enthusiasts, who can now experience another detailed and feature-packed aircraft from AzurPoly.

In fact, this virtual model of the OV-10 Bronco couldn’t be more feature-rich. From the highly detailed external and internal model with high-resolution textures to the advanced flight model developed with input from former OV-10 pilots, to comprehensive simulations of the fuel and electrical systems, among many other engaging features, there’s a lot here to keep you entertained.

Features:

• Highly optimized 3D model (interior & exterior).
• Interior model based on a 3D scan.
• Fully modeled fuselage and cabin.
• Ultra-high-resolution textures based on photoscans.
• Distinct exterior models for OV-10A and OV-10B variants (sponson, glass dome).
• 12 liveries including the most famous ones (Cal Fire, USAF, US Marines, Luftwaffe, etc.).
• Custom sound package based on real Bronco recordings.
• Flight model developed with the help of former OV-10 pilots.
• Fully animated cockpit, including all switches and buttons.
• Accurate representation of Garrett TPE331 engines with custom condition lever/power lever implementation.
• Fully functional avionics based on custom code.
• Replicated fuel system with external tank implementation.
• Faithful electrical circuits with functional breakers.
• Sophisticated interior and exterior lighting.
• Operational gunsight with a dimmable reticle.
• Several extra animations (movable mirrors, air vents, etc.).
• Jettisonable external fuel tank.
• Working machine guns with firing effects.
• Various weapons can be displayed below the fuselage and wings.
• Dynamic tire deformation depending on pressure and aircraft weight.
• Animated covers and antennas depending on relative wind.
• Several visual effects including a smoke system.
• Dynamic vibration of loose objects (canopy, gauge needles, etc.).
• Canopy can be jettisoned when opened at high speeds.
• GNS 430 and GTN 650 (TDS Sim & PMS50) units for GPS navigation.
• Custom EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) to manage numerous aircraft settings.
• Autopilot implemented in the EFB.
• Interactive checklists with copilot actions.
• Comprehensive flight manual available.

The OV-10 Bronco also introduces sophisticated weaponry options for users, featuring operational guns that can be enabled via the Weapons Manager, available for installations from the MSFS Marketplace due to store policy restrictions on depicting armaments. Versions available outside the Marketplace have weapons available from the start.

As part of this ambitious project, AzurPoly collaborated with PMS50 and TDS Sim Software to integrate their respective GPS navigation units.

The AzurPoly OV-10 Bronco is available now in the MSFS Marketplace and third-party stores for $28.99 USD.
