NEWS! - Extra 330- 350 SC and EDGE 540 v3 by Vertigo Design updated to X-Plane12

 

 

If you want an out and out aerobatic aircraft then it is an easy choice, well two actually from Vertical Design. The older one is the Extra 330 - 350 SC, named after Walter Extra. Or the newer type called the EDGE 540 by ZIVKO Aeronautics inc. Both aircraft have now been converted to X-Plane 12 specifications.

 

Extra 330- 350 SC

the Extra 330SC is a Lycoming AEIO-580-powered single-seat aircraft with improved roll rate and easier roll stops, designed specifically for Unlimited category competition. It is the only single-seater aerobatic aircraft currently being built by Extra. The Extra is the World Champion Aerobatic Aircraft for 2009, 2013, 2014, 2015 and  2016!

 

The Extra Flugzeugbau EA300 is a two-seat aerobatic monoplane capable of Unlimited category competition. It was designed in 1987 by Walter Extra, a German aerobatic pilot, and built by Extra Flugzeugbau. Then both the 330 & 350 SC aircraft were upgraded machines from the original EA300 concept aircraft.

 

Features :

• Now includes two  models: The Extra 330 SC and the Extra 350 SC
• Compatible with both X-Plane 12 and X-Plane 11
• PBR textures (for incredible dynamic reflections)
• Incredible flight model made for real pilots (already used by a real Red Bull Air Race pilot !)
• High quality 3D model
• 3D visual for damaged structures
• Immersive sounds
• Realistic pilot animations
• High quality liveries and HD textures

 

 

EDGE 540 v3

Based on the super racer Edge 540 v3 (Created by ZIVKO Aeronautics inc.), the EDGE 540 v3 is a single-seat aircraft derived from the well known Edge 540 aerobatic aircraft. This version has been especially improved for racing. Huge engine inlets, big typical aerodynamic winglets, stunning agility, incredible precision, high engine efficiency.

 

The EDGE 540 v3 has won almost every races during Red Bull Air Race championships ! It's the ultimate evolution of this aircraft, maximized for racing. Only release a year ago for X-Plane 11, here is the X-Plane 12 version of this very popular aerobatic machine.

 

Capable of a 420 degree per second roll rate and a 3,700 foot per minute climb rate, it has been flown to victory on the international Unlimited aerobatics circuit several times since the mid-1990s. The aircraft is powered by a Lycoming AEIO-540-EXP (modified) 6-cylinder air-cooled horizontally-opposed piston engine, 310 hp (230 kW) at 2700 rpm - rated power.

 

Features :

• Both X-Plane 12 and X-Plane 11 versions included
• PBR textures 
• Accurate  flight model
• High quality 3D model
• Specific Racing Instruments modeled after the real aircraft
• Animated ejection Lever (removes the canopy)
• Immersive FMOD 3D sounds
• Realistic pilot animations
• High quality liveries and HD textures
