Stephen Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 NEWS! - Aircraft Updated to X-Plane 12: Aquila A210 and A211G XP12 by Picus X The Aquila AT-01 with its two model variants A210 and A211 is a two-seat Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) entirely built from carbon and glass fiber reinforced plastics. It is equipped with a Rotax 912S 100hp engine and a MTV-21 constant speed propeller. The original Aquila aircraft is built in Germany. With its™s sleek design, the modern interior, state of the art avionics and a MTOW of 750kg it is a popular and cost efficient Training and Travel Aircraft. This Aquila package of the A210 and 211G was originally released back in December 2015 for X-Plane 10. Updated twice for X-Plane 11, here Picus X have done a complete revision of both aircraft for X-Plane 12. All the XP12 features, performance and dynamics have been totally redone to the A210/A211G aircraft. Including Optimization of lighting, Optimization of lift, drag and momentum, Optimization of flaps and ailerons, Correction of engine vertical and side angle (mitigate P-Effect) and the general adjustments to adopt the physics of X-Plane 12. SASL v3 has also been adopted. Package features include: Optimized for X-Plane 12 Two models of the aircraft in one package First Garmin G500 adaption for an X-Plane payware aircraft Magic Functions & Floating Menus Extensive implementation of custom SASL-features (e.g. Choke, H.A.C. leaning automation, prop strike and many more) Volumetric side view prop effect Instant changeable wheel fairings (choose between Travel and Tundra) Original Rotax 912S sound Comprehensive documentation and reference to the real world aircraft 4096 x 4096 hand crafted textures, selectively with normal maps and night lighting Features Correct physical model and airfoil parameters for laminar wings, ailerons, rudder, elevators and prop Correct engine parameters and limits Correct pitch deflection angles for the prop blades along with realistic weight and torque Detailed exterior with HD textures (e.g. place cards, screws, dirt) Detailed interior with HD textures (e.g. modelled seat belts and shoulder harnesses, leather seats, carpets) Night VFR with 3 independent HDR lighting options (instrument backlights, panel, dome light) Custom 3D gauges with in-depth modelling (e.g. floating fuel needles) and HD textures with original place cards mounted Picus X G500 with fully functional Primary Flight Display (PFD) incl. initialization and AHRS alignment Picus X G500 includes moving map based on the basic X-Plane® functions Up to 5 customizable approach charts for the G500 MFD WX forecast for the MFD GTX 330 transponder with automatic ALT or GND mode and splash screen on startup GMA 340 radio and intercom X-Plane GNS430 with custom 3D bezel and additional splash screen on startup Functional Davtron chronometer with UTC, local time and stop watch Floating menu with 3D view presets, floating Checklists for inflight use Fuel, Mass & Balance menu with real time altering and calculation Magic Functions for Engine Startup Sequence, Run-Up-Test Sequence, Shutdown Sequence Choke modelled (required for engine startup if cylinder head temperature is below 50° C) Prop strike damage modeled (toggled, if aircraft touches ground with less than 5° negative pitch) Functional Emergency Location Transmitter (ELT) on impacts larger 4.0 G Animated exterior (e.g. Vibrating exhaust tube depending from engine RPM, G-loaded shock absorbers) Static Elements (pitot tube cover, winglet covers, chocks) Animated pilot with Sennheiser headset and Rayban sunglasses (depending on sunlight) Removable key with slinging key chain Original Rotax 912S sound including advanced starter, ignition and shutdown noises Custom tire squeal sound, independent for each tire touching ground Included in the package Two models of the airplane - Aquila A210 model with classic analog gauges AND Aquila A211G model with Garmin G500 adoption 10 HD Liveries + 1 HD Blank livery Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) including Speed and Performance Reference PDF Technical Handbook with recommended Settings PDF Normal Procedures Checklists PDF Emergency Procedures Checklists PDF Notable is that you get four aircraft with the Aquila Package, Two (A210/211G) for X-Plane 11, and two (A210/211G) for X-Plane 12, but note the effects and performance may differ between the two X-Plane 11 or 12 Simulator versions.
