An IRIS General Aviation aircraft?!?! Say it isn't so!

Well it's been a busy week for me after taking delivery of the Diamond DA-40 XLS mesh from Jose Valdez, one of our new designers.

We've been hard at work tweaking the fuselage details, and there's more to do yet, but I'm sure you'll agree it's shaping up to be a lovely looking aircraft. :)

I don't know where to put this, however I really want to get the word out that we're also working on GA stuff now.. :)

My favourite plane! Awesome, I look forward to it and I think that model looks very accurate. Will it have a G1000 or vacuum gauges or is it too early to say?
 
The DA-40 XLS will have the Garmin 1000 setup, and the old style analog pit will be with the 2 bladed prop model..

At least that's the plan so far..lol

BTW, if anyone has any in-depth knowledge or better yet, has flown the Diamond Star, please drop me a PM here.. :)
 
So you're saying a Vulcan isn't general aviation? I'm going to have to stop trying to get it into Compton Abbas now!
Lovely model by the way, planes not bad either....
 
i get a break from a task and come back to this, well nice job... :jump: when can i get the paintkit boss? :icon_lol: like the female pilot... nice touch... trying to restrain squaddie style comments here so i'll shut up now.
 
I wish it was the twin.....I want a DA-42 for FSX!

Eaglesoft have had one on their 'Future Projects' page for months but that's as far as it got I think. :frown:

The model has been complete for quite awhile... It's been in the avionics completion hanger waiting for the G1000's to be installed... :ernae:

That is very good news. Will it have the new engines on it and do you need a beta tester? :icon_lol:
 
Nice t*ts :jump:


Succinct and to the point(s) :icon_lol:


Nice to see some more GA for FSX. Would be awesome if some developer would build a Socata Rallye ..........or how's about a Lambada/Samba ultralight (I could probably get loads of data on the latter as I know a bunch of guys that build them for real)

Sorry, we already have DA42 pilots on the beta team.
Our DA42 needs final tweaks to the FDE, Sounds, and Avionics along with a few more liveries.
 
Well IRIS chosen a very very good GA aircraft, I waited for that one
Its a Diamond Star I guess
Great job :applause:
You'll probably need beta testers .. :p
