/images/notams/notams21/torq0528.jpgTorqueSim, RealSimGear, and X-Aviation are pleased to announce therelease of the Take Command! SR22 G1000 Series and Take Command! SR20G1000 1.2.0 updates. These updates consist of a wide variety ofimprovements which we have integrated to improve the aircraft. Many ofthese improvements have stemmed from our recently released TakeCommand! SR20/SR22 equipped with the Entegra Avionics. Source If you feel like checking out a freeware version of the Cirrus, have a look at the fantastic offering by HoldMyBeer: HoldMyBeer

/images/notams/notams21/torq0217.jpgTorqueSim, RealSimGear, and X-Aviation are excited to announce theEntegra Edition of the renowned SR22 Series for X-Plane is comingsoon! The SR22 series is the product of thousands of hours of work,creating the highest quality rendition of a piston aircraft forX-Plane to date: everything is simulated! Both the SR22 G3 and SR22TNG3 are included. The custom Avidyne Entegra R8 avionics will provide aunique immersive flying experience unparalleled in flight simulation.

/images/notams/notams20/torq1011.jpgFollowing the wonderful reception of the TorqueSim/RealSimGear TakeCommand! SR22 Series, we have been hard at work developing the TakeCommand! SR20 to complement it! This is not a simple modification: itis a product of thousands of hours of work, creating the highestquality rendition of the aircraft for X-Plane. The X-Aviation Take Command! brand of products represents the verybest of flight simulation immersion, and assures you this TorqueSimproduct is one of the most sophisticated, study sim level aircraftavailable for X-Plane! Real world pilots test and assist in thedevelopment of these products, and real world procedures arefollowed. It tells you these products are unlike any other productyou’ve seen outside of the ever growing X-Aviation catalog! Want tofeel like a real captain? Take Command! While on the surface, the SR20 seems quite similar to the SR22,there is much more changed than what immediately meets the eye. Wehave worked to develop a fully custom engine model to implement theContinental IO-360-ES engine, with all its proper behaviors andquirks. With the systems, we had to go in and make the systems match aproper G3. The 3D model throughout is significantly revamped tomatch. This aircraft will be the perfect addition to any simmer’shangar! The Take Command! SR20 is designed to work perfectly with theRealSimGear G1000 and Cirrus Perspective Hardware. Source TorqueSim Updates BN-2 Islander TorqueSim Releases Take Command!

/images/notams/notams15/vfly1015.jpgChanges in version 2.6 include: New FeaturesVR Ready - all cockpit manipulators have been optimized forvirtual reality in accordance with the Laminar Research Guidance forAuthors, and tested with X-Plane 11.20vr6Now includes the ShadeTree Micro Aviation AutoUpdate© plugin -your copy will be automatically updated (when needed) every time youload the CirrusNew "Startup Cold, Dark and Healthy" option available from theOptions pop-up menu. If you select this option, the switches,settings, etc. will be reset to a "cold and dark" state, and anyfailures will be resetNew menu control system - you can now reposition and resize yourmenus, and their positions and sizes are saved when you exit. Positionthe small control icon anywhere on the screen.Persistent "save states" - (91) different preferences, options,switch settings, and weights are saved when you unload the Cirrus, andare restored when you fly the next timeAutopilot now disengages when Minimums are reached - according theCirrus POH, the autopilot will not engage or will disengage eitherbelow 200' AGL or when your Decision Height Minimum is reachedAutopilot LVL function now turns on the autopilot servos and setsroll and pitch to zero (in accordance with the SR20 POH)New NORMAL textures for interior objects - to take advantage ofX-Plane PBR rendering systemThe altitude number on the altimeter is now shown in steps of 10'(e.g. 1100, 1110, 1120, etc.) instead of one-foot increments (1101,1102, etc.)New LEDs appear near the HSI on the PFD to show Course and Headingchanges when CRS or HDG knobs are being adjustedLanding lights are now much brighter /images/notams/notams18/vfly0404.jpgBug FixesFixed a problem where the ADF and NAV audio volumes wereflip/floppingNow using the correct dataref for the analog gauge slipindicatorNow using the correct dataref for the turn rate indicatorsFixed a problem where the engine idle could go much too low andthe engine would dieFixed misaligned glideslope indicator on PFDImproved the situation where the %Power needle on the MFD wouldjump wildly when mixture is reduced to near engine-quit stateSmall improvements to FMOD soundsFixed some UV-map problems with some meshes on the interiorAutopilot now uses standard X-Plane commands instead of customcommandsAdded missing HDR lights for interior dome lights /images/notams/notams17/vfly0815.pngvFlyhteAir Cirrus SR20The vFlyteAir model of the Cirrus SR20 is equipped with avionicssystems which resemble the look and feel of the real aircraft's"Perspective" system. "Perspective" is based on the Garmin G1000.According to Mario Donick, who created the glass panel system for theSR20, "Although we don't strive for a true simulation of theavionics, we took care for many details. Many features of the realPerspective G1000 system are modeled in the vFlyteAir version, butsome are omitted or not implemented. Here is a list of the features we think you will find very functional: The following features are available on the Primary Flight Display (PFD): Artificial Horizon with high-resolution attitude indicator, flight director and roll scaleSpeedtape with custom display of reference speedsAltitude tape with custom vertical velocity indicator and minimums displayEnhanced HSI with turn indicator and three fully configurable bearing pointers for GPS, NAV1, NAV2 and ADFSwitchable inset windows for timer/references, minimums, wind, ADF, map, nearest airports, and flight planCirrus-style top bar with power setting, frequencies and detailed GPS & autopilot informationOn the Multi Function Display (MFD), the following features areavailable: Engine information system with switchable trim statusDetailed system page with engine parameters, declutter mode, used fuel, remaining fuel, remaining range, remaining time, anti-ice & oxygen gauges, density altitude, temperatures, ISA deviationCustom user interface for creating and editing flight plans (accessing X-Planes navdata and default FMC)"Nearest" page for airports, navaids and related frequenciesCirrus-style top bar with destination window, frequencies and GPS informationX-Plane default map with weather radar and traffic warnings with custom iconsInteractive checklists and user-definable charts /images/notams/notams18/vfly0405.jpgIn addition to PFD and MFD specific features, the followingsystem-wide specifics are worth mentioning: X-Plane autopilot with ROL, HDG, NAV, APPR, ALT, V/S, IAS modes and detailed status informationAutopilot will automatically disengage below minimum conditions as stated in the Pilot Operating Handbook (underspeed, overspeed and altitude)Custom calculations for ground speed, true airspeed, fuel & ranges, bearings and distancesReversionary mode with engine information system and system summary (reacts on fuse & MFD failure) Purchase vFlyteAir - Cirrus SR20 for X-Plane
