FSX GAF Nomad 22B. The GAF Nomad 22B is a twin-engine turboprop, high-wing, short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft. 172 aircraft were built by the Australian Government Aircraft Factories (GAF) in the period 1975-85. This model is available in three deliveries, including those from "The Flying Doctors". The Nomad 22 was used in this popular Australian TV series (1986-92). It is a brand new model for FSX, made with FSDS v3.5. This is my first model built from scratch, but has full animation of all control surfaces, nose wheel control, wheels, doors, propellers... It also features a 2D cockpit panel made with standard meters. Most of the work was put into the virtual cockpit. This is optimized for use with virtual reality glasses. I use FSX-Flyinside with the Oculus Rift. The open cockpit gives a very nice view all around. All instruments and switches (in VR) are comparable to the original cockpit and are easy to read and operate. By Ivo Verlaeckt.
