NEWS! - X-Aerodynamics adds more Enhanced Flight Models

 

 

X-Aerodynamics are making a big impact on the X-Plane Simulator. Mostly at first it was behind the scenes on tweaking the dynamics of payware aircraft, they are good at it, and the brand of X-Aerodynamics is growing with each release.

 

In June, X-Aerodynamics released an "Enhanced Flight Model" for the Laminar Research (default X-Plane 12) Cirrus SR-22. Here now are more flight model versions of the aircraft with now 3 Cirrus models: SR22 (original), SR20, and SR22T (Turbo) noted as version v2.0.

 

SR20: NEW. Same basic aircraft, but with a smaller engine and reduced weight. This model is especially popular for pilot training.

SR22: This is the 'standard' model today, and the basis of the stock X-plane model.

SR22T: NEW. Again the same basic aircraft, but with a turbocharged engine and higher weights. For pilots who need higher cruise and climb performance. It is certified up to 25,000ft, but it is capable of flying much higher if certification means nothing to you!

 

• Utilizes the excellent SR22 graphics and sounds included with X-plane 12 by Laminar Research.
• Improved ground handling, with ‘springy’ main gear, as in the real aircraft.
• Cruise speeds accurate across all altitudes and power settings.
• Accurate maximum speeds.
• Accurate stall speeds, flap up or down.
• Correct rates of climb.
• Accurate take-off and landing distances.
• Accurate ‘feel’ and handling.
• Accurate fuel consumption at all altitudes and power settings.
• Accurate wing airfoils for accurate handling (stock uses the same airfoil as the C-172!).
• ‘Cuffed’ wing modelled in airfoils and geometry – outer wing stalls after inboard wing, so that full control is maintained.
• Aircraft CG and payload weights moved to accurate locations.
• Tail and all controls adjusted to correct shapes, areas, and deflections.
• Fuselage shape and drag revised.
• Increased flight model detail throughout.
• No plugins to ‘force’ the flight model.
• No hidden parts.
• No cheating the sim.

 

This package is a set of new flight dynamics that connects to the already graphically excellent SR22 that comes with X-plane.

X-Aerodynamics has researched and prepared extensively to develop the most accurate and thorough SR22 flight dynamics yet seen for desktop flight simulation.

While the stock SR22 is very good graphically, audibly and so on, the flight dynamics have some limitations.

 

Important: This an upgrade of the stock (default) Cirrus SR22 that comes with X-Plane 12. No other purchase is necessary to use it. And here you can just get maximum accuracy and careful tuning to get the full potential out of an X-Plane aircraft!

Earlier Purchasers of the X-Aerodynamic Enhanced Flight Model, can update to v2.0 for free, just go to your X-Plane.OrgStore Account.
