Nardi Riviera VC

[falcon409]

I don't know if anyone still flies this little jewel, but I did for a long time in FS9 and then FSX. Always wanted to redo the VC panel as it was very poor quality and with boredom creeping in I decided to take a look at it and keep my interest for a while longer. I only fly P3D now but these changes should work for FSX and maybe even FS9. I still have a few things to work on before I have everything done (namely the 2D panel and a couple of popups). I corrected the skewed gauges that were warped to fit the old background bitmap, redrew the avionics in the center and the throttle quadrant and a few other knobs and levers. When I'm done I'll post a download link if anyone is interested.

Nice work! and that is an awesome plane, so overlooked, but really fun.

Great work there, may I join the line for the download?
The Nardi is very similar to the SeaBee as well.

Here is a download link for the changes I've made. Be sure to read the readme file. Something I failed to put in the readme. . .these textures are saved as 32bit. As mentioned above, I believe the textures should work for FSX and P3D. . .I don't know if there were differences between the VC in the FS9 version and the FSX release so I would tentatively say they should work, but with reservation, lol. Anyway, if you have questions (after reading the readme), leave me a PM or use my e-mail in the readme.

I have the model in FSX as I got ahold of the source files from Mario a few years back. I have to find a way to get them off my main development computer as it is not running properly so I can finish this bird off.

Well done, Ed. Thanks for sharing! :ernaehrung004:

I knew you would find another project Ed. I'm interested because I am unfamiliar with this aircraft.

The Nardi is very similar to the SeaBee as well.

Hiroshi Igami made a FSX native version of the SeaBee, exterior only (I fly it with the default Maule VC, not realistic at all of course, any other option out there?):

There is a Nardi Riviera FS9 ported over to FSX at Avsim (mn_fn333_fsx.zip), maybe that's the one Ed is using... Thanks for the new cockpit textures.

There is a payware Seabee here:

. . .and yes that's probably the same Riviera I'm flying. I've had it for a long time but I believe it's the same FSX Compatible version.
