Stephen Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 News! - Aircraft Released! : Aero Commander 500S by Nimbus Simulation Studios Nimbus has released an aircraft called the Aero Commander 500S. If you think that Nimbus is a new developer to X-Plane then your wrong, they are actually an old X-Plane developer, but of sceneries and not aircraft. So this excellent popular Aero Commander is their first foray into fixed-wing flight. A quick circuit flight notes that this is a great aircraft, with lots of great features including: Beautiful 3D model HD textures Custom sounds Pilots and passengers Original AF-520 autopilot. Optional GPS Beautiful night lightning Normal maps Custom systems (autopilot, hydraulic failure, fuel) 4 liveries and more coming Lots of animations and details Nice Reflections Dynamic fuselage reflections Instruments reflections There are three liveries, White and Blue, Green/Black and Red/Grey with more noted as coming. The two menus are good with easy refueling and weights. Night lighting is different, but good... nice red dials. This aircraft is a replica of the Aero Commander 500S/Shrike variant with the pointed nose and squared off tail and comes with two 290 hp Lycoming IO-540 engines. The 500S is the most popular variant of the Aero Commander with over 300 built. _____________________________________________________________________________________ The Aero Commander 500S by Nimbus Simulation Studios is NOW available from the X-Plane.Org Store here : Aero Commander 500S And is priced at only US$27.95 Requirements: X-Plane 10.50+ (Any edition) 64bit mode Windows, Mac, Linux (64bit OS required) 1Gb VRAM Minimum - 2Gb+ VRAM Recommended ______________________________________________________________________ Stephen Dutton 21st September 2016 Copyright©X-Plane Reviews: X-PlaneReviews 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGN Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 I see the Carenado aircraft has been released today, how about a comparison review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I will look at the new Carenado Aero Commander before making that decision, price is a factor and the quality will be very different between the two. But nothing is off the cards. SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
