NIce, awesome reviews, honest, fair, just how we like it :P You'd be pleased to know the first update coming soon will adress most if not all of these issues, namely: -Fixed directional indicator -Fixed Prop disc -Added a greyish metal cockpit model to ALL variants -Reworked oil temp -VR zoom capability -Much more!

Absolutely, Mercury; I’ve flown with a few guys who have done it, sounds like it really sorts the men from the boys, even today. I can’t imagine what it must of been like doing it with 1940’s tech, whilst getting shot at to boot! Certainly a little bit more comfortable doing this sort of stuff in the sim haha, but it can make for a fun virtual challenge nonetheless. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you for mentioning the Aussie troops in PNG. We are generally glossed over when it comes to the allied history of WW2 (and WW1), and one would think we never participated at all. My late grandfather served in PNG, as an AA gunner based in Port Moresby.

The absolute least I could do, Arokh! Indeed, British history / history in general, often does a poor job of acknowledging all those who fought in WWI / WWII and often tends to gloss over many of the theatres also. To be fair, I'm no history expert myself haha, but I know that fighting in the Pacific was no joke, so you're fellow countrymen (and your late grandfather) certainly deserve to be remembered for their actions.

Great review of a very nicely turned out aircraft. For anyone interested in chasing up old books I read one years ago called Sepik Pilot by Australian Wing Commander Bobby Gibbes DSO, DFC, who flew these aircraft commercially in the same area after the war. It was a great read. With any luck some of the livery artists will recreate some of his aircraft for us. Will pick this one up for sure.

Cheers Terry! That does sound like a very entertaining read. Those chaps really were on another level; flying 1940’s tech, in and around PNG - I can’t imagine the challenges / risks associated with that at times. Then again, I suppose when you’ve flown into combat, everything else rather pales into insignificance thereafter ha.

What we used to do on the Norseman, DHC2 and DHC3, to unstick the aircraft and once on the step, was to roll onto one float. To do that you could introduce a slight turn while on the step. That of course is when you were max gross. Only did 300 hours on the Norseman. Got another 5000 on the Dehavilland float machines. Geoff Quickfall BSc, MSc, ATPL 28,000 hours.

Aircraft, "Airports" and Weather all = GREAT flight. I did not check the price on this aircraft but that all have been a good value for the money. Unless you flew one of these, most desk pilots will be pleased. As it has a propeller, I just may give this a go and use the same airports. Thanks again for an honest review, I am sure the developers appreciate a good non-biased review of their products, after all, it only makes their end result better! !! !!!

@IntotheBlueSimulations Жыл бұрын

Many thanks once again, Mark! As you say, the Norseman should satisfy most desk pilots and as before, I think Big Radials have priced the product very fairly (and are apparently already working on an update, that fixes most of my issues). I’m glad you enjoyed the flight - definitely one I would recommend giving a go! Haha, well Big Radials were pretty happy with the review overall (it seems), but that certainly isn’t always the case with every developer XD Have a great weekend! : )

bit of a suggestion for a challenge, during the campaign on PNG the air force lacked sufficient parachutes for supply drops so they would instead descend to minimum altitude and speed to avoid shattering the supplies on impact then throw them out the door. you could try to simulate doing this over a jungle clearing.

Hi Jigsaw, Haha, I do think the takeoff was a little bit “leisurely” haha, but I did give the aircraft a tailwind to deal with in fairness and the flaps may not have helped in hindsight. Apparently, the Norseman’s takeoff performance was nothing stellar, though I do suspect that it probably had a touch more “get up and go” in reality.

@Streaky100001 Жыл бұрын

CRT is: Cathode Ray Tude It's an old school way of generating an image on a screen. You have a coating on the back of the screen with a material that gives off light when it's struck by an electron. You then have an electron gun that fires a stream of electrons at the screen, and finally you can use electromagnets partway down this stream of electrons to guide the beam to hit the screen in different places, thereby allowing yourself to build up an image. So, it becomes CRT, Cathode, because the electron emitter is a cathode, ray, since it uses what could be called a ray of electrons, and tube, because all of this is contained within a vacuum tube.

Gorgeous looking vid and full of good info. Though for takeoff I wouldn't recommend two stops of flaps. That will cut down on speed and make you bounce.

Hello Captain...do you find Papau New Guinea to be one of the more challenging area's to fly into? I watch Missionary Pilot take his Kodiak into these places. Last one was "ibby". Perhaps you could head into there with marginal weather lol.

@IntotheBlueSimulations 5 ай бұрын

Hi Steve, Without a doubt! Whilst the sim only replicates a fraction of the challenges posed by flying in that part of the world, PNG is still one of the more challenging areas in which to operate, within MSFS. I’ve seen a couple of MBP videos and heard many stories from friends / colleagues - those guys have my utmost respect! You’re right, I will have to revisit PNG again at some point (I guess I’m waiting on the right aircraft for the job haha). Cheers for the suggestion! All the best : )

Don't know whether it's because i bought this bird from Orbx or not but the nav button will not turn on for some reason.

@IntotheBlueSimulations 6 ай бұрын

Hi IKA, Hmm, I don’t think that should make a difference. Are you sure it’s not a control binding issue (a hardware switch, preventing you from changing the switching position in the cockpit)? It could be that there’s a bug with the aircraft but, I’m afraid you’d have to get in touch with the developers on that one. . . I do hope you manage to get things sorted. All the best!

Didn't Glenn Miller disappear in one of these over the Channel in 1944?

@IntotheBlueSimulations 6 ай бұрын

I believe he did, Jason, yes. Recreating that fateful flight, was actually the first scenario I considered when making this review. The flight itself wouldn’t have been all that interesting though and for sure, KZfaq copyright would snag me if I had used any of Glenn Miller’s music so, I went with a fictitious PNG flight instead. Cheers, all the best!

@IntotheBlueSimulations Жыл бұрын

Hi Lorkio, I’m not using VR, if that’s what you were thinking? I'm using a head-tracking device called "TrackIR" for the camera movements. It's great, although a little pricey. As a result, I’m able to move around freely, but record at my screen’s native resolution. I use Shadowplay for the recording itself. I hope that helps. All the best! : )

The plane is really freezed when floating static 🤣 Very unrealistic detail, hope Asobo improve it. But in other hand, I like the bouncing when take off, would be perfect with some water effects. Awesome video, thanks :)

@IntotheBlueSimulations Жыл бұрын

The static behaviour was actually caused by me, Socorrista. The Norseman will bob up and down in the water, but the motion looked very unnatural close in to the jetty (and the aircraft also wanted to weathervane), so I opted to “freeze” the aircraft’s position in place for the intro / outro shots. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks very much for watching and all the best! : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Quite alright Mr IBS! It's a game mechanic in the Fallout video games that allows you to shoot something with a chance to hit determined by your character build.
