When we‘ve got those basics right we talk to the pilots again to
understand where the aircraft is different and special. It’s important to
get those aspects right. In this case the real Bronco was flown a few
times just to confirm some of our ideas. The result has to be a flight
model that is not only accurate but above all feels like the real aircraft
(and believe me, this one does).
Months later all files come together
and the testing starts. This is a
difficult time as it often seems like
there is so much to do. This time
however we had little problems. In
fact we never saw any CTD errors
that are almost impossible to fix.
Writing the manuals is time consu-
ming as you spend most time in the
sim or reading the real manuals but
it also serves as a good test of all
systems. Release is the easiest thing
in all as making the installers and
product pages are really routine for
us. Training the support staff and
getting the marketing and public
relations is also a doddle compared
to the actual development.
And there you have it. That’s how the Aerosoft Bronco was made. A
lot of sweat, late night hours, curses, laughter, sleepless nights, coffee
and beers went into this one. Enjoy it!
Thanks to the whole team, I could not have wished for a better one.
