Hi, as the Norden is my favourite GA airplane, I’ve done a lot of research about it so i’ve come across a list of interesting new feature that could (I hope) be added to the msfs24 Norden.
First, new/other engine option, the in-game Norden is equipped with the 160hp, very fuel efficient Rotax 916is, but this isn’t the most powerful engine Zlin offers, they built some Norden with an EdgePerformance 917ti, creating 180hp. Also, a Norwegian Norden owner had plan to put a 250hp yamaha snowbike derivied engine (from what I’ve understand he or Zlin, wanted first a 300hp Epex300ti from yamaha, but recently changed it to 250hp). unfortunately, the company offering those yamaha derivied engine stopped manufacting these so the project was scrubbed in the last months. It was supposed to be coupled with a 5 bladed constant speed propeller (unliker the ground adjustable pitch E-prop we have in game) which could handle those 250/300hp.
Second, It would be awesome to have on the Norden, access to a variant with the new landing gear Zlin is offering for the Norden, with much bigger suspension, mounted to the side of the fuselage, like the suspension of the shock ultra cub (from Zlin).
Finally, and this is in union with my first point, other propeller choice, like the 2 bladed wood prop, the 3 bladed constant speed prop and the 4 bladed ground pitch adjustable propeller. (could come with the associated engine : 914 turbo and 915is.
I provided photo to illustrate what I said and to prove they exist, everything I’ve put here is from their instagram, so you can find even more info on their post. Just I will not put the email I’ve received from Zlin which talked about the norwegian owner and his 250hp Norden as I am not sure I have the rights to do so.
Thanks a lot for reading my post, pretty sure this will get 4 views and this will never come but I like to dream and hope it will come.
sorry for my bad english
