VSkylabs have recently released their PAC CT/4E Airtrainer for X-Plane 11, the Airtrainer is part of VSkylabs Test-Pilot series which is designed specifically to the utmost quality on X-Plane’s experimental flight model.
The Airtrainer, designed by Pacific Aerospace, is a Kiwi company based out of Hamilton, New Zealand.
The aircraft is a single-engined, side-by-side, dual-seat trainer aircraft – used by 4 current military operators and 8 formers (excluding privately owned Airtrainers).
Some notable features are:
- VSKYLABS ‘Test-Pilot’ Project: designed for use with X-Plane cutting edge Experimental flight model environment, featuring superb flight dynamics with authentic performance and flight handling characteristics.
- Built for VR: development was tailored specifically for VR, and optimized for 2D usage.
- Engineered and designed as a default X-Plane aircraft (Like all VSKYLABS projects). The VSKYLABS projects are practically show-casing X-Plane, as they are stretching X-Plane default features, systems, and flight model to its limits without any dependencies on complementary plugins or software…delivering a very robust simulation model, having maximum compatibility with the ever-evolving X-Plane flight simulator.
- Perfect fit for beginner and expert pilots, including aerobatics.
- Built-in Avitab plugin compatibility (AviTab plugin is not included).
- STMA Autoupdater plugin is included – all updates are being pushed smoothly without the need to re-download the entire base package (base package will be updated every once in a while to minimize the gap).
The development team also referenced how the aircraft will have continuous support and updates to ensure a positive user experience.
The aircraft can be purchased on VSkylabs store here for 32.95$
