AT Simulations release the Brussard [Archive]

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 !!:applause::applause::applause:

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

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

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

For those who're interested, they've released the paint kit: https://atsimulations.com/download/broussard/Broussard_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!

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 :playful: ) 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.

Hi All, Just downloaded ATSimulations MH1521 Broussard. I tend to be a stickler for Accuracy and Detail, and this item does not disappoint. Beautifully done, and up there with A (A@a)2A, Flight Replicas, G.A.S etc. An absolute joy to fly, and procedures appear to be spot on!

Highly recommended to those, like me, who love Bush flying and semi S.T.O.L aircraft:applause:

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.

Got the same problem with the black cube everytime I select the Broussard. Already contacted the support about that problem, because my computer is connected vie LAN to my router and have steady connection.
My solution for that is right now, to start the flight with the Broussard and change to another livery from the Broussard and the Black Cube is gone...
But there must come a fix sooner or later.

speedy70

January 6th, 2019, 11:34

A T Simulations have updated their requirements as follows

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

I think it is something to do with checking the registration or footprint.

Cheers chris

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.

Hi Chris.

Yes, I saw your post. It sounded like you assumed it was related to registration or footprint, so I wasn't sure which. I love the aircraft, but have mixed feelings about some software tracking my use of a product or collecting any kind of data on me. I've never encountered an FS product that requires an active internet connection just to start it. The process is likely harmless, but I'd like to know more. Thanks.

TiAr

January 6th, 2019, 15:50

Yes, it seems you need internet for loading ac and startup. I am not happy with this process. Is likely harmless, but I'd like to know more, too.

Anyway, just upload new highres repaint of this wonderful MH-1251 Broussard. D-FMCA is still in service in Germany.

Yes it appears that every time you load the aircraft it checks on your registration.very fair in my opinion.

however I understand ATS are looking at other alternatives.

Understandable as the piracy has killed so many small developers.

Andrey is a superb designer,one of the best in my opinion and needs to be given our support for a small developer.

Cheers Chris

Fireball6

January 7th, 2019, 00:34

In my Opinion, it must be clear for every customer that the software he buy and install, need an internet-connection to be able to use the software every time he want to use it in the sim. At the time i bought it, that was not clear for me and i think a lot of other customers. An Internet connection is needed by a lot of addons during the installation-process. Carenado, JustFlight and many others work this way, but not for "start" an addon in the sim.
I did not like a software for my flightsimulation that works this way and make my hobby depending from a "working internet-connection". In case there are technical problems with the internet-connection and/or there are problems at the provider-side, than you can fly a black box in your sim - very funny.

To clarify here, i like the Broussard and the work of ATSimulations a lot - it is a very nice plane with a lot of features and great on frames, the price is absolut reasonable and i have a great respect for every developer who brings a good addon - but i would like to know that the addon will need a connection to the internet, everytime i want to use it - and that, before i buy it - not after a member here, brought that to our attention.

It should be stated at the ATSimulation-Website, the requirements and also in the manual what exactly the software did when it was connected to the internet !

It seems that ATSimulations follow this thread - they changed the Requirements on their website again - now it looks so :

System requirements: - FSX SP2 / Acceleration pack or FSX SE or P3D v3 (v4)
- Internet connection when starting the plane (license key validation)
- Available hard drive space: 1.5 GB (for one platform)
- Video card: DirectX 10 compatible

That clarify why an internet-connection is needed. So please ATSimulations, change this - it is not the right way to secure your software. Like Carenado, it should be sufficient enough to validate the key during the installation. Who give us costomers the security that the lisence key is the only thing that will be checked? And what happend if ATSimulations will be hacked?

AT Simulations should review this kind of behaviour.
Even ChasePlane has abandonned this requierement after few months during the early beta, taking into account reactions from users (the intent was getting info on user experience).
Hope that they will listen their customers.

what happens if you are on a standalone? for me when i travel with work for lengthy periods and i take my laptop and do paints, with no internet it effectively renders the addon useless

WarHorse47

January 9th, 2019, 05:48

yesterday evening I asked ATS about transfering user data. The answer came prompt:

Internet connection in very first moment of Broussard loading is needed to check the key validation (now) and check for updates (in future).
On our opinion, most transparent, most fluent way to do that. And for users as well - no any activation procedures, no fingerprints etc.

For me it sounds ok. So I leave this nice addon on my plate.

Anyway, did another high quality repaint of our second, in Germay flying MH-1251 F-GJJM from EDEW Wallduern airport. Will update it here soon.

https://up.picr.de/34799218tm.jpg

ThomasAs I mentioned in a prior post, their approach makes me a little uncomfortable.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Broussard is a great product. As Matt mentioned it can be a problem for those that are on a standalone. Even though I am on cable, I can still fly if the cable is down and I have power - except I'd be flying a black box for the Broussard under those conditions.

I'd like to hear more about their plans to "check for updates." I'd like to know what is installed or updated on my computer so I can decide if I need the update or not. Lately, I've felt that some updates are frivolous and a waste of my time because they're aimed more for P3D installs instead of FSXA - but that's just me.

BTW - looking forward to the repaint. Thanks for your efforts.

Priller

January 9th, 2019, 08:05

IMHO:

If you buy an addon, download it and install it, it is yours.

No dev should have the right to hack into your pc to check the license. There is such a thing as privacy, and over here in Europe, we have very well defined laws about that.

It is software you buy, not something like Office365 that you rent.

Its ok for if the whole title check online the licence.
We know it from the market. Eagle Dynamics (DCS), 1CGS (IL-2 Sturmovik) do this but its for whole sim, once, but the addon?
Can't imagine if the others do the same way in every time and what if I havent net for a limited time? DCS and IL-2 offers offline mode, I suppose here no this option? :dizzy:
According me its a wrong way. The one from difficult security has SSW (manual hardware fingerprint) but its one time also.

Once again - the Broussard is a very, very nice plane and have the potential to be a "Bestseller" - i hope that ATSimulations will change the way they handle the "Lisence-Check".

As Warhorse47 mentioned in his peply, i did'nt like an addon which checks for updates by himself. The other thing is that an internet-connection works ever in two directions - once a connection is established, others can have access to your PC. It is not that i will say ATSimulations will do that but they could be hacked as every other account in the world-wide-web and then .... .

My thought

Dirk

pbearsailor

January 9th, 2019, 12:46

I emailed Andrey a few days ago and received a reply in which he stands by the decision to use the internet check. I disagree with him and wish he'd change his mind. I suspect this will impact sales of the Broussard and that's a shame as it's a very well done plane.

Still glad I bought it but disappointed that there will be times on my PC that it will be unusable.

Andrey Tsvirenko

January 10th, 2019, 04:24

Hello gentlemen,

Quite hot discussion here I found, let me clear some things.

First of all thank you so much for kind words about our projects, special thanks to people who purchase them, you will not be disappointed I'm sure.

About Internet connection which is must with ATS Broussard, and so hot hated here - it used ONLY for key validation.
In case when we see hack attempts with tenth sold copy, defence system is the point we are forced think about. As soon as we would have even half of "Carenado" or "Aerosoft" market part, we will cut this system at all :)

Take a look around, nowadays refrigerators, tv and even toasters could be connected to the Internet, so it's quite simple requirement to ask and provide easiest way to check the copy. I do believe that most applications in your phone do the same.
If you are using sim in lonely chalet up in a mountains without any web connection... well, seems Broussard is not for you right now..

So, no doubt - if you like it, take it. We are working on some updates right now, tundra, skies, floats maybe ILS versions would be provided in 2019.

I can't monitor this thread too often, so if you have some question better drop me a line into PM or email.

I am not sure what you mean with "absolutely castigating the thing" - I am one of the customers who bought the Broussard before the Requirements were changed and for me, as for others too, it was not clear that an internet-connection is needed everytime you start the plane in your simulation.

I wrote my thoughts here in this forum and more than once i wrote also that the plane is a very well crafted addon.

Andrey give us a good explanation here and i make the decision to use it as it is - and no, my mind did not boggle - but i found it better to leave the plane in my sim as delete it and ask for a refund.

So, why do you think you should charge me ?

The way the post above re: license checks makes it sound like it was just once when you first start the aircraft, not for every time after.
I'm pretty confident in my connection, so I bought it
Been loving it so far!
Does anyone else notice the 985 is really a beast to keep cool sometimes?

I've been reading all the latest posts about internet connections etc, and so far appear to have had no problems, but I'm keeping an eye on it. I do agree that Andrey has developed a superb product and deserves support- I'm sure that most of the questions and problems will be overcome in the near future. I know little about computers, so I'd like to make some comments about something I'm a little more familiar with.

The R985 in the Broussard does seem run a little hotter than the same engine, in say the Beaver, (ref the Milviz Beaver). I find that opening the oil cooler gills, and selecting cowl flaps fully open after engine start, allows the C.H.Ts to rise gradually, and the oil temps to stay in the green while taxying. Prior to applying full power for take-off, the CHT usually is about 205C degrees, even at high ambient temps, during take off up to about 215-220 during take-off, with the oil temps going into the red, about 80C. As soon as possible after take off, reducing power to 90(Atmospheres?), seems to keep the CHT at about 220C, oil temps still slightly in the red, I.A.S 75 to 80 k, R.O.C. about 1.8 mps, (359 fpm). at say 762 metres (2500 ft) levelling out, power back to 80, 1800 rpm, brings the temp back in the green rapidly, with CHT 210-215. At moderate weights this generally gives a T.A.S 115-120 kts. I then slowly close the cowl flaps to about 30-45 percent. I have some limited experience with the R985, (the Beaver) and have not had similar requirements. Could be Cowl design. I'm sure their are others out there who can comment, but I hope this helps in the meantime.

Forgot to mention, on climb, power to 90,r.p.m 2000, and depending on weight, power can come back to approx.8.8, the same r.p.m. The only other problem I have had is setting the D.G. on line up. for some reason, occasionally, the D.G. will not be aligned, before engine start, and once the engine is running, with all three suction indicators within the arc, though the D.G. indication will change with aircraft direction, the knob to change to the correct heading will not pull out. Anyone have the same problem?

Details are fantastic (tire deflection on the ground!):

btw.
what I noticed - on the ground, when You do taxi I see strange stutter. Its only on the ground (its present when You pan aircraft or from VC view from cockpit)
You can notice it if You use Track IR and not fixed fps. Strange... in the air is ok. FPS here are ok but strongly noticeable stutter is present. Something is wrong on the ground.
Here the example and comparison (however, it does not reflect 100% of what I see on the monitor):

When the plane is parking - fps are smooth and no any stutter, when I starts to taxi - fps drops and stutter is present when I move the head:

Did You notice it also? Maybe my eyes only...

The battles between Spider-Man and his arch-rival Venom are the stuff of comic book legend. Perhaps you like the story.

Than perhaps you like this repaint I am working on. In fact, good old G-HOUR based in Duxford got a new paint. Owner is IMHO a Co-founder of Bremont watches, who himself is fan of the story.

what I noticed - on the ground, when You do taxi I see strange stutter....

I thought about it half the last night ;) and finally I found a reason of this stutter / fps drop on the ground with the help of ATSimulations.
It a issue in this both blue gauges (wheels, tire deflection on the ground). Its a nice eye candy but something is wrong here and it's a case of stutter when the wheel rotates (so as I noticed on taxi, take off and till the few meters over the ground).
You can turn it off by "//" but in this time no animation and half a texture. I wrote about it to Andrey, I hope he helps.

Very nice repaints Jankees indeed!

Work on N309MP is going on. Its the second one in the background of Ercoupe video above. Today this Broussard is ín a very good condition, wearing the "bomb" and is still in service, too. Perhaps Andrey will a closer look on it.

Nice info found about the movie plane:

"Pierre's plane is, according to him, a "German" and one can indeed see a half erased German cross on the fuselage, as well as swastikas, not very visible, at the top of the daggerboards. But this Flugzeug is none other than a Max Holste 1521M Broussard, a type of aircraft built in the 1950s in France. There is very little information on the career of this aircraft until 1991. It is known to have belonged to the Air Force (c/n 13) and was purchased by a private pilot in November 1991 and is based in Reims-Prunay (F-GJBF). But he is familiar with Cerny's terrain and Baptiste Salis is the pilot in the film."
