NEWS! - Aircraft Released : CFM Shadow D-D by Jemma Simulations

 

 

So what is a CFM Shadow?, well it is a two-seat ultralight class (called a microlight in the UK) aircraft with a pod and boom design.

 

They were built as a kit or fully assembled by Cook Flying Machines (CFM). And nearly 400 of these aircraft were built from the early 1980’s through to the early 2000’s. All models of the Shadow were powered either by a Rotax two cylinder, two-stroke engine which was mounted behind the fuselage on an exposed framework. The earliest versions were powered by 40hp Rotax 447 and the later versions were powered by 65hp Rotax 582’s or a 80hp Rotax 912.  This version of the aircraft is a model D-D (the second D for dual-control), and is powered by the Rotax 582.

 

Features:

• Highly detailed and accurate 3D model
• Accurate flight model, flight tested by real world Shadow pilots
• 4K PBR textures
• 6 liveries
• Accurate start-up procedures with the unique "pull-start" cord in the cockpit.
• Fully functional "handheld" radio including VOR navigation, with VR friendly pop-up and multi-screen pop-out functions.
• Radio integrated with POSCON and xPilot plugins for online flying.
• All canopies operate and can be locked.  Unlocked canopies will vibrate (and even open) in flight.
• Integrated Avitab

 

 

Ultralights are interesting and fun aircraft to fly, slow and low is the game to get the best of the unusual arrangement...
