TigerTigerM Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Finally tracked down the Deane Baunton freeware PAC Cresco, which is a turbo development of the Fletcher FU24, & it works nicely in P3D v4.2 The aircraft.cfg file says this: "The Cresco, (Latin for "I grow"), combines a short take off and landing performance with a large load carrying capability. During development, feedback from operators of the Fletcher aircraft regarding areas in which the Fletcher was lacking was taken into account, however the strength of the original design was retained. Without compromising the ruggedness, and with a strong focus on ensuring that there was no additional weight in the aircraft, the Cresco emerged as a well loved aircraft optimized for operations off semi-prepared farm strips in hill country. With its tricycle landing gear and rear mounted hopper the Cresco is unique in agricultural aircraft and, through this configuration, allows for safe operations off these sloping hill strips. The Cresco has the advantage of forward visibility and wind gust capabilities lacking in tail dragger aircraft with forward mounted hoppers. The shots are from a Spring flight out of NZGS into the hills North West of the aerodrome. TTM Over the terminals at NZGS. The display Fletcher can be seen to the left of the Cresco's ground shadow. The wood processing factory again, North West of NZGS Pilot's eye view in the hills. Often the aircraft will be flown below ridge lines, 20' off the ground & following hill paddock contours, as the fertilizer is dropped. The FSX version drops fertilizer, I don't think the P3D does. On the ground at NZGS. Plenty of detail here. Nice work. Close up of the Cresco. Wanganui Aero Work have been around a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakashi Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Excellent set TTM, I don’t see how they can be in business that long, flying 20’ off the ground and following contours and hills, that is some daredevil pilots that work there doing that!
