Adam Banks Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 ... I resurrected my old BN-2 Islander - which looks vaguely similar (!). It's not exactly "pretty" (you should research the Trislander if you want to see a truly ugly aircraft), but I've always liked it. Flight1 did an excellent job with it, IMHO. Plenty of character and a great sound set. Here we are on approach to NZGB (Great Barrier). Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breeze Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Love this plane but can't get the KLN-90 to work in P3D. Problem to do with the font I've read. Adam, did you get it working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sante Sottile Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Way better Aircraft in my opinion. I love the Islander! Perfect for orbx airstrips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodgerC Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I think it looks better than the Dornier!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbxtreme Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Definitely a perfect aircraft for the area you're flying in. I love the livery too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam, did you get it working? I have it working OK in FSX (which I still have installed) so I think the font must still be on my system - though I haven't checked - so everything appears to work fine! I'm really enjoying this trip down memory lane! Amazingly (for such an old model) it has external env/spec maps set so I'm getting dynamic reflections in both chrome spinners and body shine (you need to have P3D dynamic reflections set high+ to see this). A bit of a frame rate killer, but looks great! I may take some screenshots. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Imagine it with retractable gear - probably ten knots faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, a fair few BN-2 pilots went prematurely deaf - they were that noisy! Here's more .... Some pretty fine AI models with the freeware AI pack: Here's the dynamic reflections in action. Those tubby hi-vis guys are forever on ther mobiles [sigh] ... Note how the "terminal" building is reflected in the windows ... the fuselage also reflects, but less so .. Fun over - back to Auckland!
