Aircraft Review: Short SC7 Skyvan by X-Hangar Written by Dominic Smith Introduction As an X-Plane user and aviation enthusiast, I am excited to introduce the Shorts Skyvan, an iconic and versatile utility aircraft, wonderfully recreated by X-Hangar for X-Plane. First flown in 1963, the Skyvan was designed by Short Brothers (usually referred to as Shorts), a renowned British aerospace company with a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. Known for their innovative and robust aircraft designs, Shorts created the Skyvan to address the growing demand for a versatile and rugged short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft capable of operating in a variety of environments. Over the years, more than 150 Skyvans were produced, serving various roles such as cargo transportation, military operations, and even skydiving platforms. The Skyvan’s simple, yet endearing boxy design, excellent short-field performance, and ease of maintenance have made it a popular choice among operators worldwide, so I’m extremely pleased to see it make its way into X-Plane. X-Hangar’s Skyvan comes with an array of features to enhance the simulation experience; somewhat of a trademark when it comes to their models. These include the ability to choose between passenger or cargo loads through an easy-to-use menu, animated pilot and copilot models that load with added weight, and the option to add passengers or cargo with corresponding payload weight adjustments. Additionally, the model includes interactive doors, a detailed checklist to follow in the simulator, a user manual in PDF format, international liveries, and a blank livery template for custom paint jobs. Some other noteworthy features of this Skyvan are the inclusion of a GPU, a jeep vehicle, various cargo load objects, suitcases for the passenger-cargo hold, and a porta-potty with a functional door (something I thankfully didn’t need to use during my testing). To further enhance the experience, X-Hangar has provided an FSE file, a Garmin 530 GPS, a Stec55 autopilot, and rain effects for both X-Plane 11 and 12, with rain wipers available for X-Plane 12. Exterior Before taking off, I decided to take a moment to admire the exterior of the Skyvan. Stepping outside the aircraft, I was immediately impressed by X-Hangar's attention to detail in replicating the Skyvan's unique design, which features a high wing, twin-turboprop engines, and as previously mentioned, a boxy fuselage. As I walked around the aircraft, I noticed the well-crafted 3D model, which highlighted the Skyvan's sturdy landing gear, designed to handle rough and unprepared runways with ease. The twin turboprop engines, mounted on either side of the fuselage, were intricately modelled, complete with propellers and exhaust pipes. The Skyvan's characteristic T-tail design was also accurately depicted, giving the aircraft its distinctive appearance. The exterior textures of X-Hangar's Skyvan are of high quality, delivering a realistic representation of the aircraft with various liveries, sixteen in total (seventeen if you include the paint kit). Unfortunately, none of the included liveries featured any weathering, which would have added to the authenticity of this age-old aircraft. Nonetheless, this omission does not detract from the overall enjoyment of flying the Skyvan, but it would have been nice to see some weathering to truly capture its character. The model also featured interactive elements, such as doors that could be opened with a simple click, allowing for a more immersive experience. I also took a moment to appreciate the additional objects included with the model, such as the GPU and Jeep vehicle, which added to the overall realism of the simulation. The cargo load objects and suitcases were a nice touch, giving the aircraft a sense of purpose and functionality beyond just flying. Interior When it comes to the interior, X-Hangar's Skyvan strikes a perfect balance between functionality and realism. The developer has incorporated both pilot and copilot models, as well as 3D passengers, to create a lifelike atmosphere within the aircraft. While the texturing and modelling lean more towards functionality rather than ultra-realism, the overall result is quite impressive and particularly beneficial when VRAM performance is paramount. The Garmin 530 GPS and Stec55 autopilot systems add a touch of modernism to the Skyvan's cockpit, providing X-Plane users with reliable and user-friendly navigation tools. The combination of these advanced systems with the Skyvan's classic charm offers an enjoyable flying experience that caters to a wide range of virtual pilots' preferences. As well as the above, the developer has also introduced new rain effects which significantly enhance the visual experience during adverse weather conditions. These effects contribute to the overall immersion and realism of the simulator, creating an even more engaging environment for virtual pilots to explore. Flight Characteristics Prior to takeoff, I completed the necessary checks, ensuring that the trims were set for takeoff, fuel levels were adequate, flaps were configured as required, and all flight instruments were functioning correctly. I also verified that the ammeters were charging and that the flying controls were free and functioning properly. As I taxied towards the runway, I noticed the Skyvan's responsive nose wheel steering and its ability to handle taxiway turns with ease. Its moderate size and excellent visibility from the cockpit made it easy to navigate around the airport, even in tighter spaces. Upon reaching the runway, I completed the runway checks by ensuring that all doors were closed and secured, anti-icing systems were set as required, and the RPM levers were in the "Take-off" position. I also checked the engine instruments and set the power levers to Maximum Takeoff Power (MTOP). As I began the takeoff roll, the Skyvan accelerated steadily, and I could feel the aircraft's powerful twin-turboprop engines working to lift the aircraft off the ground. The responsive controls allowed for smooth rotation, and the aircraft's relatively short takeoff distance made it clear why the Skyvan is renowned for its STOL capabilities. Once airborne, I raised the flaps and ensured that the nose wheel steering was straight. The Skyvan's climb performance was impressive, and its stable flight characteristics made it easy to maintain the desired pitch attitude and airspeed during the initial climb. The Skyvan, a high-wing and somewhat unwieldy design, is known for its ruggedness and utilitarian attributes rather than its speed or agility. As such, the aircraft felt relatively heavy and turned rather slowly during testing. However, this is typical for a utility aircraft like the Skyvan, which is designed to operate in short-field environments and transport cargo or passengers in tight spaces. Despite the slower handling, the Skyvan proved to be quite stable in the cruise phase, with minimal oscillations or turbulence. Its high-wing design provided excellent visibility below the aircraft, making it ideal for observation, aerial photography, or other similar missions. The cockpit itself offered good visibility, with large windows that allowed for a clear view of the surroundings. The instrument panel was logically arranged, enabling easy monitoring of the aircraft's systems and navigation instruments. In terms of power management and fuel efficiency, the Skyvan's performed as expected. The turboprop engines provided ample power to maintain the desired altitude and airspeed, while the aircraft's fuel consumption was within the expected range for its design and purpose. Before initiating the landing sequence, I performed the landing checks, ensuring the fuel booster pumps were on, engines were within EGT limits, wheel brakes were checked, and flaps were set as required. I also checked the security and cabin signs (no screams were heard). During the final approach, I adjusted the flaps and RPM levers as needed and ensured the nose wheel steering was straight. Upon landing, I set the RPM levers to taxi, adjusted the flaps, and confirmed the wheel brakes and anti-icing systems were functioning properly as per the checklist. After coming to a complete stop, I conducted the shutdown checks, ensuring all systems were turned off and secured. Performance When it comes to performance, X-Hangar's Skyvan for X-Plane truly shines. Developed using Plane Maker, the model is optimized to deliver excellent performance even on modest hardware (unlike some resource-heavy models created in Blender, A3CD, etc). This optimization ensures that users with various system capabilities can enjoy a seamless flying experience without encountering framerate issues. During my testing, the Skyvan performed flawlessly on my system. I encountered no framerate loss, spikes, or pauses throughout my testing, which speaks volumes about the optimization work done by the developer. Conclusion In summing up, the Shorts Skyvan by X-Hangar offers an engaging and realistic simulation experience for aviation enthusiasts and casual simmers alike. With its impressive array of features, excellent flight performance, and accessibility on modest hardware, this Skyvan model is a valuable addition to any X-Plane user's virtual hangar. The classic look of the cockpit, combined with the rich history of the Shorts Skyvan, adds to the charm and allure of this iconic aircraft. It's worth noting that if you're an X-Plane user who demands the latest and greatest graphical models, or your liveries must include weathering, then the Skyvan may not be for you. However, for everyone else who appreciates the unique capabilities, history, and versatility of this extraordinary aircraft, it's a lovely model that provides an enjoyable and rewarding flight experience. The Skyvan's adaptability makes it an interesting aircraft to fly in X-Plane, presenting simmers with various opportunities to explore different aspects of aviation, such as cargo transportation, passenger services, and special mission operations. The meticulous attention to detail in the model's design and functionality ensures an immersive experience that honours the legacy of this remarkable aircraft. ________________________ The Short SC7 Skyvan by X-Hangar is now available from the X-Plane.Org Store here: Short SC7 Skyvan Priced at US$22.95 Features The model supports both passenger or cargo loads activated by a menu.

NEWS! - X-Hangar updates the DHC4 C-7a Caribou to X-Plane 12 It's an odd looking critter of an aircraft, but one with amazing short field performance and clever STOL (ShortLanding and Takeoff) abilities. My connection with the aircraft was with the large numbers at my closest Australian RAAF Amberley airbase, so they were very frequent and active around our local skies, sadly the DHC-4 are now all retired, but there are still a few left around to look at, at airshows and in museums. The de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou (designated by the United States military as the CV-2 and later C-7 Caribou) is a Canadian-designed and produced specialized cargo aircraft with short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability. The Caribou was first flown in 1958 and although mainly retired from military operations, is still in use in small numbers as a rugged "bush" aircraft. The de Havilland Canada company's third STOL design was a big step up in size compared to its earlier DHC Beaver and DHC Otter, and was the first DHC design powered by two engines. The Caribou, however, was similar in concept in that it was designed as a rugged STOL utility aircraft. The Caribou was primarily a military tactical transport that in commercial service found itself a small niche in cargo hauling. The United States Army ordered 173 in 1959 and took delivery in 1961 under the designation AC-1, which was changed to CV-2 Caribou in 1962. X-Hangar are converting their aircraft quickly to X-Plane 12, not a week goes by without another aircraft released. Here is the next aircraft released in the DHC4 C-7a Caribou. Features here Include: 3 flyable models: radar pod, no radar pod, and bare metal Rain effect on windscreen and windows Garmin 430 with pop up panel Opening engine cowls Opening cargo doors Opening passenger doors Sliding radio tray Detailed 3d engine and props Many custom 3d gauges Many liveries included Pilot figures including pilot, co-pilot, and loadmaster Custom sounds Animated controls Many detail parts Checklist included .pdf manual included that tells you how to fly and use the instrument panels Night LIT textures included Real pilot tested Link to download a 450+ page beautiful, crisp, and clear real world pilot's manual Version XP12 - February 20th 2023 new update features: v11 rain limited to win vulcan only (plugin limitation) new passengers that load with payload weight new seats for passengers new car for cariboub (loads with added payload weight. need near max weight to display) the cargo bay now has a mixture of passengers and cargo intended to enhance the FSE experience v12 rain effects v12 better taxi and landing lights v12 new payload system New X-Hangar support forum Images courtesy of X-Hangar ________________ Yes! the DHC4 C-7a Caribou by X-Hangar is NOW available from the X-Plane.Org Store here : DHC4 C-7a Caribou Price is US$22.95 Requirements X-Plane 11 fully updated Windows, Mac or Linux 4 GB VRAM Minimum Download Size: 472 Mb Version XP12 - Feb 20th 2023 ________________ News by Stephen Dutton 21st February 2023 Copyright©2023: X-Plane Reviews Disclaimer.

NEWS! - Aircraft Upgrade : Piper Aerostar 700P by X-Hangar Ted R. Smith was an aviation legend, this is the same person of whom also designed the famous Aero Commander, and bought the first small business jet aircraft to market, which was the Jet Commander which evolved into the Astra Jet.... Then there was his Aerostar/Sequoia the fastest Twin-Engined general aviation aircraft ever built... just the right aircraft for drug running, right. So another legend but in the infamous collection of bad people pretending to be really a good person to get rich is Barry Seal, who was a sort of Robin Hood in reverse, Seal was a pilot for the commercial airline TWA, and was contacted by a CIA case officer and asks Seal to fly clandestine reconnaissance missions for the CIA over Central America using a small plane with cameras installed. But the deal becomes a two sided affair with Seal running drugs into the United States one way for the cartels, and then also smuggling and trading guns back to the cartel in the other direction for the CIA. So for operations like that you need a pretty good aircraft that was the fastest you get you hands on and could fly very high (or very low) when required... depending on who was actually shooting at you. This real life caper was recreated in a film called "American Made" with a certain Tom (Top Gun) Cruise as Barry Seal, but the real star of the film is certainly the Aerostar 600, which was the perfect tool for the dodgy business of doing clandestine CIA missions in moving drugs and running guns. During the time of production, the Aerostar held the speed record for fastest twin piston General Aviation aircraft, capable of cruise speeds from 220 kt (408 km/h) for the earliest 600 models to 261 kt (483 km/h) for the later 700 models. Light construction, low drag and high powered engines also contribute to fast climb rates. So here an upgrade of the Aerostar 700P aircraft by X-Hangar to X-Plane 12, and yes the X-Plane 11 version is also provided in the same package. New Features Include update fixes and upgrades: ALL new 3d instruments and radios. prior version had 2d instruments New passengers and pilot that load with payload weight ALL new international liveries New texturing New cargo objects in the back of the airplane New Avitab screen V11 specific updates: rain plugin added for win vulcan only (plugin limitation) v12 specific updates: rain effects on the glass adjusted landing gear adjusted payload adjusted lights X-Plane Features Include: 3d instrumentation and radios Garmin 530 with pop up window or use buttons Garmin 430 with pop up window or use buttons Weather radar Stec Autopilot Pilot Figure Passengers that load with payload weight Opening/closing passenger door with a mouse click Yoke hide with Y key or click of the mouse Visors that move with the mouse to adjust Many custom international liveries Blank livery to make your own Weathering layers that include panel lines for your own livery Stripes you can click and paste to your own livery Rain effects for v11 win vulcan only (plugin limitation) Rain effects for v12 User manual in .pdf format to get introduced to the airplane Avitab display FSE (flight sim economy) file New X-Hangar support forum Images courtesy of X-Hangar ________________ Yes! the Piper Aerostar 700P by X-Hangar is NOW available from the X-Plane.Org Store here : Piper Aerostar 700P Price is US$19.95 Requirements X-Plane 12 or X-Plane 11 Windows, Mac or Linux 4 GB VRAM Minimum - 8GB+ VRAM Recommended Current version: 1112 - January 30th 2023 ________________ News by Stephen Dutton 31st January 2023 Copyright©2023: X-Plane Reviews Disclaimer.
