Aerosoft Bronco X: Request help from the community (Gunsight)

[Wothan]

Dear FS community....

We are nearing the end of developement on the Aerosoft OV-10 Bronco X.

We have some pretty good refrence on the real Germann OV-10B Bronco, which resembles the A version too.

Stefan Hoffmann, the 3D artist had acces to the cockpit and made very precise measurements of the cockpit, which has thoroughly been recreated in the Bronco X (Personally I´m stunned about the details he has put in).

Our problem is that the German Bronco didn´t have the gunsight fitted.
We have some pictures of the gunsight, but really could ude some better references for it.

Can anyone in the community help us getting better references like photos or drawings of the gunsight used in the Bronco ?

I´m sure that we can arrange some free copies of the finished Bronco for those who really are able to help us.



I post here, cause it seems there are alot with interest in military aircraft hanging around.


Beforehand thanks

You might be right on that.

Most instruments etc.. are standard aguges as found in many US aircraft from the 60th and 70th.

I have the OV-10A POH - 1970, USAF- but there is little info about gunsight.Maybe in USN, USMC editions?
The second one is from the Squadron book.

Hi Piglet

Thanks for the image.

Yeah we have the manuals with Your image included, but it´s rather hard for a modeller to model it correctly with that kind of photo quality.

Which manual is that, please?I have the OV-10A manual, USAF, 1970 dated ,and there is little info about gunsight.

[Prowler1111]

I have the manual for the A-7B gunsight, you wont find better pics as the above posted in manuals, but it might help, looking at it, i´m 90% sure it´s the same item, only modified to be used upside down, if interested, give me a howl..
Best regards
