Terrain radar is nice to have for mountain flying. Also included are anti-ice and de-ice systems. Pilots and passengers load/unload according to payload weight. An Avitab cell phone is also included.

Another Great Aircraft

12345
This is another outstanding aircraft from X-Hanger. It is also a gets me from point A to point B and I mean to tell you it gets me there in a hurry. I fly it at between 3000 and 5000 feet with the engine set at about 1600 ft-lb torque and 1700 rpm. That will get me about 200 KIA at 3000 feet using 34 GPH fuel. Again the Garmin G-1000 is nice and stable in X-Plane 11, and the instrument panel is clear and easy to read on my 2017 iMac. This is the fastest get about plane that I am currently using now, and again once I get somewhere I go to my trusty DoubleEnder. The download also includes a version for X-Plane 12. As I understand it, the developers are waiting for X-Plane to finalize some issues with version 12. This is just my opinion, but I personally feel that Laminar released 12 too early. The forums are full of discussions and workarounds regarding fixes X-Plane 12 as users are waiting for Laminar to fix the thing. It is a shame that X-Hanger has to wait also. My advice is simply to enjoy this aircraft in X-Plane 11. Glenn Travis (9 Aug 2023, 14:21)
