iniSimulations has released the A300 BelugaST ON THE LINE for X-Plane 11.
The development team has incorporated new elements unique to the BelugaST whilst improving core elements of the Airbus A300-600 family using the latest tools and technologies such as SimBrief ACARS integration to hand-crafted cargo loading elements.
Enhanced Systems
- Detailed custom FMS designed to replicate an on the line experience utilising Airbus A310 AERO data to match real BelugaST operations
- SIDs, STARs, SEC flight plan, custom LNAV (brand new NAV system reviewed and improved from A300) and more.
- Independent FMS with state-of-the-art high definition pop-outs.
- The unique behavioural characteristics of the BelugaST are simulated throughout each system for an immersive experience. For example, improvements in the autoflight system better reflect the BelugaST handling
- An extensively tuned flight model captures the BelugaST characteristics including accurate performance; landing and take-off behaviour with custom ground effect simulation using the X-Plane 11 experimental flight model
- Custom stall behaviour including aerodynamic buffeting
- SimBrief company route uplink along with ACARS wind uplink functionality integrated into brand new modern IDC radio tuning panel with working persistent custom preset feature
- Brand new integrated standby instrument system and dynamic engine windmilling effects depending on wind speed and weather conditions.
Renewed Visuals
- 4K, PBR texturing in both the exterior and interior of the aircraft coupled with high-resolution, pixel-perfect cockpit displays.
- Accurate, toned night lighting inside and out
- Detailed rendition of the General Electric GE CF6-80C2A1 engine set
