Britten Norman Trislander (Study Level) AVAILABLE NOW

Already done Sir …
Also of note are the N Numbers, reconfigurable by the Sim Customise Settings…
Most Aircraft have these on the side of Eng#2 Cowling like G-JOEY but Some Aircraft have them on the rear fuselage side (Great Barrier for example)
This is also modelled depending on the chosen model variant

Now, lets have some Livery Suggestions please ?
You have choice of
Long Nose - Reg on Engine
Long Nose - Reg on Fuselage
Short Nose - Reg on Engine
Short Nose - Reg on Fuselage

NOTE -The above are all 2 bladed 2 - 2 - 2 Aircraft
The Aurigny aircraft have the 3 - 2 - 3 Blade Configuration

So lets have your suggestions please :slight_smile:

I only referred to the dashboard in this plane and the Islander. I’m sure you can understand why and I also clearly said maybe that is how it looks IRL. Dashboard is not 650K poly.

Some people would complain if you hung ‘em with a brand new rope, too! :rofl:

I can’t wait to see this unholy creation in MSFS! Every time I see that engine up on the vertical stabilizer I think about the “pitch meeting” for that design and it makes me chuckle.

I’ll opt for Bush Pilot Airlines (pic already supplied). Short nose and 2-2-2.
And many thanks for allowing suggestions

Will there be a paintkit coming with the trislander? I made quite a few liveries for the islander with the excellent paintkit available with that, and plan to get going with some of the sponsored Aurigny liveries from the 90s/2000s as soon as possible!

But of course Sir … one of our trademarks :slight_smile:

God knows about the font, tried matching it with some website tools but only got close-ish matches but nothing definite. Looks like the name was just stencilled on really. Text is 台灣航空 though which is just Taiwan Airways in traditional Chinese. Maybe I’ll give it a bash myself if I can figure out how to paint planes.

I also have a very important question about the modelling of this plane: will it have a moving coiled cable somewhere? After seeing some on the Islander and Bulldog I’ll be very disappointed if this one doesn’t come with a twisty cable! :wink:

Another BBS Trademark … why would we miss that out ?

With the hours being done here by some, could you do that with a catheter as well?

There are a few shots here of their Trislanders.

Also there is a few here on page 2 and 3.

Unfortunately couldn’t find many in the same livery as posted earlier. For me I’d be happy with any BPA livery (maybe leaning toward the one closest to whats been shared :laughing: ). Would be pretty great having one included with the release though, if possible :smiley:

LOL! The airplane almost isn’t long enough for the web address. :wink:

A question regarding the flight model: when you open the throttles, does the nose go down because of thrust from the high-mounted rear engine, or up because the slipstream from it goes over the tail? Or does it just carry on pointing in the same direction, but climb anyway due to increased noise-induced lift? :smiley:

Ha! 10 characters.
