Stephen Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 NEWS! - Updated to X-Plane 12 : VSKYLABS Scheibe SF-28A Tandem-Falke VskyLabs have updated their Scheibe SF-28A Tandem-Falke (Falcon) motor glider to X-Plane 12. The SF-25C is a German touring motor glider developed from the earlier Bergfalke glider by Scheibe Flugzeugbau. Developed in 1963, the original SF-25 was a high-wing powered glider, but the wing was lowered to create the SF-25B/C. There are a lot of variations of engines powering these gliders, but this model known as the Falke 2000 is using the 60 kW (80 hp) Limbach 2000 EA, and driving the propeller at 3,450 rpm. Basically this German Motor Glider is at it's heart a very basic aircraft. VSKYLABS 'Test-Pilot' Project: designed for use with X-Plane cutting edge flight model environment, featuring superb flight dynamics with authentic performance and flight handling characteristics. Superb Flight dynamics: The VSKYLABS SF-28A simulation was developed to follow the real SF-28A handling and performance characteristics. It is a highly engineered, robust motor-glider simulation model which makes use of X-Plane 12 sophisticated flight dynamics and physics simulation, extracting it to its limits. Simulated systems: The VSKYLABS SF-28A features X-Plane 12 latest native features, systems and physics. This assures a 'high airworthiness' in X-Plane, throughout its update process. Some systems may be restricted to X-Plane default systems algorithms. General cockpit configuration: VSKYLABS chose to design the SF-28A cockpit with a touch of a modern conversion. A simplified NESIS digital avionics package is included with an emulation of the NESIS engine-monitoring screen. Built-in AviTab compatibility is included, and the main NESIS display can be used for displaying the AviTab, in a toggle mechanism. The aircraft is fully functional from the back-seat (with some limitations which are derived from the real-world SF-28A backseat operations). Built for VR: development was tailored specifically for VR, and optimized for 2D usage. Perfect fit for beginner and expert pilots: With its superb handling qualities and docile behavior, the SF-28A Tandem-Falke will serve as a safe training platform for powered flight, as well as for gliding. It is a motor-glider, so it's perfect for thermal-hunting and cross-country flights as well. Wonderful FMOD sound package that includes authentic Limbach engine recordings and an interactive set of dynamic sound layers that will "wrap" your flight perfectly, setting a whole new level of flying experience! Built-in Avitab Plugin Compatibility (AviTab plugin is not included). Detailed manual is included. Paint-Kit is included. Autoupdater based on the SkunkCrafts autoupdater (XP12 only) - all updates are being pushed smoothly without the need to re-download the entire base package (base package will be updated every once in a while to minimize the gap). This project is part of the VSKYLABS 'Test-Pilot' series, designed specifically for use with X-Plane cutting edge Experimental Flight Model. The VSKYLABS Scheibe SF-28A Project was also developed for X-Plane flight simulator with the acknowledgement/approval of the 'Scheibe Air". Images are courtesy of vSkyLabs...
