Stephen Posted November 25 Report Posted November 25 NEWS! - AOA Simulations updates both the F-22A Raptor and V-22 Osprey Coming only a few days after the X-Plane 12 updates for the T-7A Red Hawk and T-6A Texan II. Angle of Attack (AOA) have now updated the F-22A Raptor and V-22 Osprey to the same configuration standard. Meaning converting both aircraft to the latest SASL plugin version in v3.17.3. F-22A Raptor The F-22A Raptor is a fifth-generation fighter jet developed by Lockheed Martin, with contributions from Boeing for certain structural components and avionics integration. It is a key component of the U.S. Air Force’s fleet, known for its exceptional stealth capabilities, agility, and advanced avionics. The F22A is exclusively used by the U.S. Air Force, as export sales are restricted due to concerns over safeguarding its advanced technology. Version 2.1 (November 21st 2024) Updated SASL plugin to version 3.17.3 Fixed GPS D 'direct' function that X-Plane 12.1.2s new G1000 background processes broke. Adapted flight model for X-Plane 12.1.2 Converted left MFD engine N2 displays from digital to analog gauges.

It is designed to perform a variety of missions, such as troop transport, medevac, and special operations, with unparalleled speed and range compared to traditional rotary-wing aircraft. The V-22 can operate from aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, or improvised landing zones, the V-22 can carry up to 24 troops (seated) or 20,000 pounds of cargo internally. - New X-Plane 12 only model - MAC native ARM (Rosetta not required) - FMOD sound package - Latest SASL plugin version 3.17.3 Four Osprey models - US Marine Corp MV-22B - USAF SOCOM (Special Operations Command) CV-22B - US Navy CMV-22B COD (Carrier Onboard Delivery) - Japan Self Defense Force MV-22J - Each version has its own unique internal (fuel) configuration and external distinguishing features The 3D Model - High quality 3D model with high-resolution, 4K PBR textures - One default US Marine Corp MV-22B livery - Additional liveries available on the X-Plane.org freeware download manager at: Aircraft Skins – Liveries > AOA Simulations > V-22 Osprey - Adjustable electroluminescent IR formation light, including rotor tip lights - Custom particle effects (APU, engine exhaust heat blur) Animations - Fully animated Blade Fold Wing Stow process can be controlled from in or outside the cockpit - Crew entry and ramp/cargo doors fully animated - 3D modeled rear cargo area/troop compartment - Extending/retracting Tilt Rotor Air Air Refueling probe - Emergency escape system blowout cockpit side windows - Extending/retracting under slung cargo hooks for lifting slung loads - Three optional slung loads: cargo crates, water trailer or a Tesla Cyber Truck Cockpit - Fully functional virtual cockpit with > 300 control manipulators. - 4 x semi independent Multi Function Displays with > 29 different page options - All left and right MFD soft key functions are display page dependent - Control Display Unit (CDU) with Engine Instrument Crew Alerting System (EICAS) - Extensive system status, caution and warning display on lower CDU EICAS screen - 5 page CDU System Status layer with sub menus - 11 pilot/copilot CDU sub system control menus that operate independently from each other - Pilot & copilot CDU keyboards; 63 duplicate active keys on each board - Military TACAN channel auto-tune capability - Custom, SASL Lua script based quick load GPS database with 70 preset airfields - Default G1000 integrated for easy flight plan creation and activation - Full VR compatibility - All cockpit displays are drawn by SASL plugin system LUA scripts - All aircraft system operating logic is performed by SASL plugin system LUA code The Flight model - Model developed referencing the 2019 1A-V22AB-NFM-000 - Unique “tilt rotor” flight model - Takeoff and land vertically as a “helicopter” with the engine/nacelles tilted up ~ 90 degrees - Tilt the engine/nacelles forward/down to transition through “tilt rotor” mode to become an “airplane” - To land, tilt the engine/nacelles up from zero to 90 degrees, becoming a helicopter again - Auto and Manual Nacelle Tilt protection modes - Auto and Manual Flap modes Plugins - AOA Simulations R2c (Roll to See) dynamic 3d cockpit pilot pov camera - Target Track, locks pilot pov camera on AI plane for EZ formation flying - In cockpit preflight ground refuel capability - Virtual inflight refueling - TAAR (Tiltrotor Air Air Refueling) from AI planes - Optional AI Flight Engineer to assist the basic pilot/copilot crew - Avi-Tab compatible - Xchecklist compatible Popup Options menu - Initiate complete auto engine start from inside or outside the cockpit - Manage Blade Fold Wing Stow process from MFD or popup menu - Access X-Plane Weight & Balance menu to add external sling loads - Select which version of the model you want to fly - Individually enable or disable plugins Both the TF-22A Raptor and V-22 Osprey-7A Red Hawk and the T-6A Texan ll can be updated via your account on the X-Plane.OrgStore. _______________________ The F-22A Raptor and V-22 Osprey by AOA Simulations are both now available from the X-Plane.Org Store: F-22A Raptor Priced at US$40.00 Requirements X-Plane 12 or X-Plane 11 4 GB VRAM Video Card Minimum - 8 GB+ VRAM Recommended Download Size: 413 MB Current version: 2.1 (November 21st 2024) V-22 Osprey Price at time of writing US$44.00 You Save:$11.00(20%) Retail Price US$55.00 Requirements: X-Plane 12 or 11 Windows , Mac (M1/M2 Supported), Linux 8 GB+ VRAM Recommended Download Size: 409 MB Current version: 2.3 (November 19th 2024) ___________________________ News! by Stephen Dutton 25th November 2024 Copyright©2024: X-Plane Reviews (Disclaimer.
