NEWS! - Aircraft Update : Van's RV-8 /8A Duo by AoA

 

 

Angle of Attack Simulations have updated their Van's RV-8/8A Duo package to version v1.5. Note this is not an X-Plane 12 update, but X-Plane 11, with the X-Plane 12 version coming soon with a free update.

 

The Van's RV-8 is a tandem two-seat, single-engine, low-wing homebuilt aircraft sold in kit form by Van's Aircraft. The RV-8 is equipped with conventional landing gear, while the RV-8A version features tricycle landing gear. The design is similar to the earlier RV-4, although it is larger than that earlier model.

 

The RV-8 airframe accepts larger engines from 150 to 210 hp (112 to 157 kW), including the 210 hp (157 kW) Lycoming IO-390. The RV-8 also has increased wingspan and wing area over the RV-4, as well as greater cockpit width, headroom, legroom and an increased useful load, all with a view to accommodating larger pilots. Like the RV-3 to RV-7 that preceded it, the RV-8 is stressed for aerobatics

 

This update covers:

 

Version 1.5 (October 6th 2022)

- Complete code rewrite to the latest version SASL
- Updated cockpit interior details and textures
- Extra display features on both G1000 PFD ad MFD
- Brake with stick plug-in added
- Custom plug-in controlled 'roll to see' and 'fly the RV from the back seat' views
- New animated pilot object visible in internal views
- Validated by real life RV builders/owners who have offered us tons of feed back on the flight model and performance aspects of our model in the simulator compared to their actual aircraft
