About This File

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.

Well done, very good to see this aeroplane finally get a go in FSX. There are some issues perhaps I should email you rather than here. I appreciate the work that went into this one, always good to get another real STOL aeroplane into FSX.

I might add that for a first time design and build effort then Ivo Verlaeckt deserves 10/10 it is very nicely done and I am sure mods and some changes are in the pipeline to make it even better. A curious aeroplane with some interesting aerodynamic quirks, badly maligned when it was around because of some issues but it was actually a solid little performer and served a lot of operators well, just never supported in real life with the money and further development it required.

Agree with the comments so far. Getting it to stop with no prop reverse makes it far from STOL!! Really good effort by Ivo and I look forward to a few tweaks to make it really good.

I received useful feedback from a number of users to further improve the model. Work is currently underway on a renewed version of this beautiful aircraft.
