vFlyteAir Simulations - Cirrus SR20 for X-Plane

The Cirrus Aircraft SR20 was first flown in 1995, and it was the first aircraft of its type to have a ballistic recovery parachute. The parachute has been modeled in the vFlyteAir version. Another unusual feature of the SR20 is the automatic control of the variable-pitch (constant speed) propeller. The pilot does not control the prop speed with a traditional prop lever. Instead, the Cirrus automatically adjusts prop speeds depending on the power setting controlled by the pilot. Also unusual is the placement of the pilot and copilot control yokes, which are placed on the outboard sections of the panel. The pilot flies with left-hand control, and the copilot flies with right-hand control. Throttle and mixture controls are placed between the seats on the center console lower panel. The SR20 is an all-composite construction with glass panel avionics

Igor Kirilove makes the airplane come to life with his unparalleled skills in 3D modeling and photo-realistic texturing. Our SR20 is extremely accurate in terms of size and proportions because it was modeled using actual CAD data as reference. Many textures are 4K resolution to enhance sharpness and realism.

The avionics were developed by Mario Donick. They are highly functional and resemble the look and feel of the Garmin Cirrus Perspective® system, which is based on the Garmin G1000®. Several features of the Perspective® PFD and systems are modeled in the vFlyteAir version. In version 2.5, the avionics now also support procedures, i.e. you can load SIDs, STARs and approaches into the flight plan.

The Cirrus SR20 requires X-Plane 11.10 or newer. For approaches and departures procedures, requires purchase of navigation data from Navigraph or Aerosoft (NavDataPro)
