X-Plane 11.50+ Pilatus PC-21 1.1. The Pilatus PC21 is a turboprop-powered advanced trainer with a stepped tandem cockpit. It is manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland. This X-Plane model has a fairly complete 3D cockpit, lots of animations and a system (like the real one) that gives progressive thrust on take-off, like a jet. You may disable this on the left console. A simple auto-trim system is also provided. The aircraft can also be flown from the rear seat (Num Lock 3). The mirrors can be enabled/disabled but I can not guarantee that they will work properly. There are 4 hard points, the fuel tanks and pylons "being weapons" They also have different colours to fit the paint scheme. There are 3 different paint schemes, Royal Australian Air Force, French Air Force and a "what if" NATO grey Portuguese Air Force. Use "highlight click regions" in X-Plane's menu to learn more about the cockpit. Version 1.1: aerobatic white smoke, wingtips vortex, smoke pods and more fuel tank colours to fit other liveries.
