The perfect aircraft for low and slow flying
As third-party aircraft add-ons continue to emerge for Microsoft Flight Simulator (MFS), well-known scenery developer Orbx Simulations has released its first aircraft for this platform: the unique Edgley EA-7 Optica.
Sci-fi look
The futuristic-looking Optica is a product of UK aircraft designer John Edgley who, along with a small team, started building a prototype in 1974. It was originally intended as a tourer but its features, outstanding low-speed handling and high endurance soon saw its roles include police observation posts, power line inspections, aerial surveillance and photography.
