Hi,
The Robin DR400 has been largely recast with the JSBSim FDM.
- FDM: Apart from usual features, emphasis has been laid on crosswind landing (up to 22 kt), forward slip, slip-skid ball behavior. An experimental asymmetric stall simulation (stall and spin) is included.
- Fitting-out: The cockpit and dashboard have been improved with some new instruments, an efficient Garmin 196 GPS and photorealistic textures. New liveries are also available. Sounds, particularly for the engine, have been made closer to the real ones.
This work is still in progress, but if you wish to fly it, test it and maybe give your feelings, remarks: Robin DR400 JSBSim.
(the web page is in french with pictures, but guidelines are given in english for the links. The aircraft link is at the bottom, updated)
This aircraft does not replace the already existing one, that's just one more choice.
