About This File
FSX WACO ATO NC 8576. This is a "what if" concept for the Golden Age Simulations WACO ATO Taperwing. It's cooked of the real WACO ATO registration and serial numbers (NC8576 and A-85, real story unknown), fictional livery and a Wright R-975-E-1 Whirlpool engine simulation (actually it should be a JTO - to comply strictly with WACO coding system). With its 365 hp and two panel options (IFR and VFR) the plane is a good staff for air racing and traveling. Meanwhile despite its gravity carbureter it is not bad for simple aerobatics as well. To make the plane operations more realistic the aircraft file was edited to provide the engine with supercharging capability (as the real R-975 has) which makes you follow operating limits not to loose the engine. Apart the original model and basic texture the package also includes two brand new VC panels. The used sound is a default FS2004 Trimotor sound pack (it is also powered by 9-cylinder Wright Whirlwind). VC panel, livery and corrected dynamitcs by Vladimir Gonchar.
