Is There A Canard Add On For Microsoft Flight Simulator

Black Foursquare Announces Velocity XL for MSFS

The Velocity Twoscore is heading to Microsoft Flying Simulator very soon.

Published: 17 May 2022 12:32z

Black Square has announced that they will be bringing the Velocity 40 to Microsoft Flight Simulator. The programmer had previously worked on the improved taxiway signage at European and U.s.a. airports, Real Taxiways, but has now turned its attending to this unique aircraft.

The Velocity XL is a high-performance, single-engine aircraft with composite construction. This means the aeroplane tin fly fast, far and high, giving it a performance edge over many turboprop shipping. Its unique, futuristic blueprint debuted in 1986 and has proven pop since with over one thousand produced.

Black Square Announces Velocity XL for MSFS

This unique plane is existence brought to life in a detailed way on Microsoft Flight Simulator. Black Square promises to take an shipping that is chock with detail. The product folio lists the plane equally having a fully detailed 3D model, an immersive Wwise sound pack, plus a range of accurate organization simulations.

The team has built the aircraft using native Microsoft Flying Simulator tools and techniques to provide the most accurate experience possible, whilst ensuring performance is cracking all-circular. Users volition exist able to fly effectually with the Velocity XL using the fully-featured IFR-capable panel with dual G3X Touch (Working Title G3X freeware modernistic recommended), GTN 750 (requires freeware PMS-50 GTN 750 modernistic), and GFC500 autopilot controller.

The total characteristic list is down below for those looking to larn even more than about the Velocity Twoscore.

Finally, we know that the Velocity XL will cost £19.99 when information technology is released. When that will be is anyone's guess at this point. We'll keep you updated.

Features

Model

Accurately modelled Velocity TXL-RG, inside and out, created from hundreds of reference photos from Velocity shipping builders
100% MSFS native animation lawmaking for the smoothest animations and cockpit interactions using either legacy or new cockpit interaction modes
4096×4096 (4K) textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials with existent-time surround reflections for superb quality and realism
Detailed normal mapping for leather, material, plastic, stitches, scratches, carpet, tooling marks, and even embroidered logos, resulting in a texture resolution of 10,000 pixels per square inch (ninety.0kB)
Extensive use of new MSFS decal system for nearly vector-graphic quality of labels, arrows and outside detail features
Ground services support (marshaller and fuel truck)
Total support for MSFS visual icing effects

Cockpit

Fully featured IFR-capable panel with dual G3X Touch (Working Title G3X freeware mod recommended), GTN 750 (requires freeware PMS-l GTN 750 mod), and GFC500 autopilot controller, all with cross-fill, and synchronised autopilot controls
Every knob, switch and button is interactable and implemented, along with its corresponding electrical excursion
Lighted standby instruments for worst case scenario failures
Hideable side-sticks
Placarded reference speeds for easy reference while learning the shipping
Developed using the latest MSFS standards, including intuitive and easy-to-use controls for rotary knobs, multi-position switches and levers

Systems
Feel the ability of 1 of the world's fastest, highest flying, piston-driven low-cal shipping. From the beginning, Black Square'south Velocity XL was designed to evangelize the raw excitement of operating a dwelling house-built, four-seat aircraft in the flight levels, travelling at over half the speed of sound. Enjoy features such every bit:

Twin, turbo-normalised engine with exhaust vibration and tailpipes that glow accurately with turbine inlet temperature
Fully realised electrical system with every circuit breaker functioning
Challenging push-prop engine temperature management monitored via custom G3X engine instrumentation
Unique 'two light-green' retractable landing gear system, fully implemented gear warning and electric hydraulic arrangement, with redundancy gear release valve logic
Hear the ambience noise divergence the inflatable door seal organisation makes to the comfort of your cruise, with door ajar warning
Dimmable interior lighting with backlit panels, standby instrument lighting, glareshield glow, and cozy cabin dome lighting
Unusual fuel management organisation with combining header tank logic
Working ELT and Hobbs meter to track your flight hours

Sounds
The Velocity Forty features a MSFS-native (Wwise) 3D sound package taking full advantage of the new capabilities. Based on the default MSFS Extra 330, the Velocity XL's sound set includes added sounds and custom code to create a fully featured soundscape inside and out to give the feel of the real aircraft'southward power and structure.

Rich audio for every switch, button, lever and electrical arrangement
Detailed physics-based effects on engine and wind noise
Accurately positioned 3D sound sources (best enjoyed in VR!)
Crash and scraping furnishings for composite airframe
Authentic retractable gear sounds and whistle

Flight dynamics
The Velocity Xl features realistic and accurate flight dynamics, designed to piece of work with MSFS's new aerodynamics simulation. The aerodynamics take advantage of new canard aerodynamics options that have only recently become available in MSFS. Users can expect the docile stall and spin-resistant characteristics of existent canard aircraft with this improver.

Liveries
The Velocity 40 comes with six paint schemes based on real-world aircraft:

N285VL (USA)
N467AK (United states)
N516K (USA)
N750C (USA)
N7075J (USA)
M-IRTI (UK)

All textures are 4096×4096 (4K) resolution with MSFS native PBR (Physically Based Rendering) properties across nine channels of surface item data, resulting in a whopping 1,600 pixels (14.4kB) per square inch on the interior model.

A blank (plain white paint scheme) is included for users to easily create their own paint schemes. 'Experimental' placards on the cabin doors, required by existent-earth laws, can exist easily removed in a separate texture if the user prefers that for aesthetics.
