AT Simulations release the Brussard

**speedy70** · December 27th, 2018, 06:10

AT simulations have released their M-H 1521 Broussard.

It is a fantastic aircraft and well worth buying.

It can be bought from their site here

Patience please, the internet in my sim computer isn't working anymore, and the Broussard doesn't work if there is no internet connection, very annoying..

Oh, no problem. Just looking forward to it whenever its available.

You say the Broussard doesn't work if there is no internet connection?? Interesting.

I notice the same today - it seems you need to be connected to the internet to use the plane, otherwise you see a black box in external view and from inside there is no way to look out.

I like the Broussard very much, great level of detail and a real "Fun-Flyer" but that is not a good way - it should be changed as soon as possible imho.

The Definition of the System-Requirements are not very clear on the ATSimulations-Website :

System requirements:

- FSX SP2 / Acceleration pack or FSX SE or P3D v3 (v4)
- Available hard drive space: 1.5 GB (for one platform)
- Video card: DirectX 10 compatible
- Internet connection

it would be better to declare that a "Internet connection" is required to use it in your Simulator.

Whatever the reason is for that - it is a big disappointment for me.

Thanks for the HU! This looks like a really well done model.

**Javis** · December 27th, 2018, 21:40

Innovation Alert!!

For the first time to see since, say 30 years, a convincing and realistic looking "spinning propeller sunglint !! " A phenomenon so typical for a RW spinning prop and so blatantly missing in our beloved flightsims thru all these years but, thanks to the innovative team at ATSimulations.com, no more !!

Ok, the fresnel lens config that conducts the view at the 3D spinning prop from the side is not really optimal yet but the sun glare itself, only visible under certain view conditions, as it should be, turns up very well indeed. Well done ATS and merci beaucoup !! And congratulations with finally nailing this long time missing effect !! You da men !!

Btw, it certainly is a fantastic model otherwise too! Both inside and out!

Btw(2), shouldn't this be sticky !!??

cheers,
jan

Good news, I uploaded that paint.
And yes, without internet, all I see is a black cube, really weird.

I don't think the Belgian Air Force ever used Broussards, but they could have looked like this:

just having fun before the arrival of the paintkit...

For those who're interested, they've released the paint kit: https://atsimulations.com/download/b...d_paintkit.zip

Being only vaguely familiar with the Broussard, I assumed it only served with the French, but after checking Wiki it appears there were actually quite a few other military operators: Argentina, Portugal, Cambodia, and nearly a dozen African nations as well. Quite a few obscure repaint opportunities there!

Portugal for sure. BA2 (Air Base 2) Ota, 1964/65, saw 2 of the Broussard there, and was invited for a ride. Big sturdy plane as I remember. Will buy it with Portuguese colours...

Great looking repaints, BTW. Looking forward to seeing them in the library.

***marijn*** · January 6th, 2019, 06:48

Check out the P3D section, you will find them under JanKees Civilian repaints

And where abouts were you, Jan Kees, while shooting those screenies ? Your home country perhaps ? Orbx i presume ?

***thefrog*** · December 28th, 2018, 06:34

Is the interior as good as the promotional vc screenshots?

**Daveroo** · December 29th, 2018, 09:06

here is a video with two Brussard's do a STOL drag.its kind of funny really,they took forever to stop to make the turn,then went past the return rotation line..its cool (ok it is to me

) to see them side slipping in before the turn.,not sure how long into the video they show,but you can fast forward until hes on the ground,then that part starts.

Yes the interior and the VC are of exeptionally high quality.

The photos are from the model and not enhanced or retouched.

Oh good, thanks. This is going on my purchase list for 2019!

***jankees*** · January 6th, 2019, 11:40

Mmm. My sim computer, for reasons that I do not understand yet, does not want to connect to the internet, so no Broussard for now I guess...

***WarHorse47*** · January 6th, 2019, 13:10

Thanks for the new paint, Jankees.

I had no idea the Broussard requires the internet for startup. I've been flying it daily and had no problem, but I'm always connected to the internet.

I'd be curious to see if anyone gets a response from ATS as to the purpose be it registration, piracy control or whatever.
