It's been in the works for quite a long time, but the list of features is also quite extensive:
Special Features
- Auto updater for the duration of XP10 and XP11 !
- Superb Reflections - inside and outside
- Dynamic Livery Editor - Create your new livery from inside the plane!
- Comprehensive menu with Weight and Balance Manager and many more
- G1000 GPS with complete database
Aircraft Visuals
- Superb Reflections reflections via plugin - FPS-friendly
- Editable reflections, either by livery or down to individual aircraft components.
- Dynamic Livery generator - generate dozens of livery varieties within minutes!
- High quality, optimized 3d mesh throughout - High resolution texture(around 350 pix/m)
- Window reflections that emulate sense of depth of reflections
- Scroll wheel visualization (can be disabled) to aid in scroll wheel interface recognition
- Numerous covers, tie-downs, chocks, caps. All accessible via menu - Modelled GPU
- Custom lighting throughout (custom strobe flash pattern, custom halos, custom lighting logic)
- Pulsing landing light option
- Gimballed internal 3d lights throughout, which cast light on the surfaces they point to (HDR mode)
- Lifelike, realistically animated Pilot and Copilot figures
- Shimmering turbine exhaust gas simulated (HDR mode req'd)
- Cargo that appears and disappears, depending on weight set
- Detailed engine compartment
- All chrome and reflective materials now actually look realistic in X-Plane, as they are individually adjustable via the plugin.
- Extremely detailed panel with dynamic reflections on the panel material, G1000 glass, and steam gauge glass, which is also night-lighting responsive, and features Fresnel effect.
- Slick 2d pop-up (actually, "fly-out" window) whose frame colour adjusts adapting itself to the currently loaded livery
- Animated air conditioning gimbals throughout, which "blow" sounds into the direction of the camera.
- Custom and X-plane default camera presets
- Hideable cargo pod with doors that rip off at higher airspeeds if left open.
- Open cargo pod doors respond to prop wash or weather wind by oscillating back and forth.
- Electric tug, to tow the plane.
Flight Dynamics and Systems
- Accurate G1000 simulation with moving map (Licensed by Carenado)
- Extremely accurate flight dynamics, arrived at with the help of in-house real-time visual tools
- Engine can break during over-torque if in realistic mode.
- Over-torqued engine causes shaft break, smoke in cockpit, chip in engine, alarms, terrifying sounds, etc.
- Smoke in engine can be brought under control by killing the "Firewall Air" via knob on panel.
- Cargo pod and wheel pants affect aerodynamics realistically.
- Adding cargo pod enables use of weight and balance manager to determine load.
- Tie-downs prevent aircraft from moving, even in high winds.
Interface and usability
- Fly-out pop-up menu featuring 5 menus: - General (mode, tug, cargo pod, reflections, lights, etc. options) - Livery selector for pre-painted liveries (X-Plane standard system, with animated previews that look great) - Or switch to dynamic liveries, where you can edit and create your own liveries quickly with the provided tools - Dynamic real-time weight-and-balance manager with full scroll support, metric/imperial switching, cargo pod option, ability to increase/decrease overall weight or shift balance, automatically re-calculating all loads, etc. - Camera: select camera snap points visually, or use X-Plane's internal camera preset system, with an added visual interface. - Audio: Mix 6 aspects of audio in the plane via scrollable volume faders, to get the mix just right for your taste. - Slew mode allows you to place your plane in real-time in 3D, temporarily bypassing X-plane's aerodynamics.
Advanced Sound System
- Advanced Custom audio plugin
- Doppler effects are sensitive to how the camera is behaving in relationship to the plane. (No more screeching when dollying camera towards the plane.)
- High fidelity, multi-track sounds, configured visually via proprietary visual histogram editor.
- Different for front of plane vs. back of plane.
- Panning around the plane yields stunning 3D audio effects.
- Audio positioning is clearly discernible; move around the engine compartment, and the sound origin clearly shifts depending on where the camera is pointing.
- And much more...
