Cirrus for FSX?

Who makes one? is it good?

Ya'll know me; if there's a horrible review, please don't hold back. I want to hear it all.
 
As far as I know, it's a native FSX reworking of the FS9 version. My frame rates are quite acceptable, although slightly less than steam-gauge aircraft. I'm not familiar enough with Avidyne glass to comment on how it compares to the real deal.
 
Can I have some screenies?

I became a Cirrus pilot last week, I can try to tell you how close the avionics are.:jump: This is also why I'm shopping for one.

To be honest, I've made it a point to never buy eaglesoft products because of their attitudes and treatment of customers and forumgoers. My last spat with them was years ago, so I may be willing to forgive and forget.
 
Dusted my Cirrus SR22G3 Turbo (rev. 1.5) and flew it. The exterior and cockpit are nice but the Avidyne is as basic as FSX default G1000.

The Avidyne MFD is a display device and relies entirely on external sources to provide the inputs...

...so, it is as realistic as the real one is, insofar as the GPS inputs from the default fs9gps.dll engine is capable.

If one wants more realism, RXP are the only source for an "authentic as possible" GPS source.

That's a portover, isn't it? How well does it do on frames, and how does the glass cockpit compare to the real thing?

It is most decidedly not a portover, as I invested several hundred hours* carefully rebuilding the model to be 100% native FSX... :ernae:
*many of which were spent translating the model's internal XML script from the FS9 syntax to the new FSX syntax.
 
If you can't wait, simply Google "Eaglesoft Cirrus" and take your pick of the images. This plane was a fairly early FSX release and there were many screenies posted on various fora at the time.

That Google search gives quite a few results to cover all eventualities ;)

Lucky for you hehe....those things are pricey. They are built at the airport I control traffic at (DLH)

I use Eaglesoft's SR22 G3 models with the Avidyne avionics. Most the newer Cirruses today fly the Garmin G1000 units. I've only had a few rides in cirruses but the PFD portion of the simulation is very close to real life. The MFD like Bill said is based on the default GPS system, but I like it fine. I've also swapped out the ES GNS units for the RXP GNS430W units - love it!

Odd you have had bad experiences with ES - I've only had good ones...

One of the best native GA acft for FSX imho

Anyway, some pics:

Many real world pilots have 'flown' the Eaglesoft Cirrus' and have never had a terrible thing to say. In fact, many have applauded ES's work and utilize it as a great training tool for the Avidyne avionics.

As I mentioned on another forum, I have all three, and enjoy them all.

A 'must have(s)' IMO.

Here ya go. No this is not an FS9 "portover" and neither are our SR20 or SR22 Turbo.

Eaglesoft has been working for quite a few months to revise our Avidyne Entegra Systems for use in FSX.
In addition, we have managed to rebuild our FSX Cirrus SR22G2 to Full FSX/SP2/DX10 Compliance.
This Upgrade adds Scimitar Prop and 16:9 Ratio Widescreen Panels along with View and VC Window Tint toggle as in our SR22G2/G3 Turbo.
This is a first look at the new low Draw Call, .DDS Textured, DX10, 3D Studio Max model for improved performance in FSX!
Now completed and released this FSX SR22 Upgrade is provided at NO COST to current owners of our original FSX Cirrus SR22!
Current owners should remove their current installation and simply redownload and reinstall using their original Key and Password :D

Thanks for your patience while we've rebuilt this one from scratch ;)

No "portover" of the SR22 Turbo either. Our Avidynes are currently being used in some real world motion simulators as are our Dual GNS 430s.

Sorry for the poor resolution. Resized from 1680X1050.:icon_lol:

Nick Preston has outdone himself on this one! These are a must see at hi res in sim! :lol:
 
I notice that Eaglesoft didn't model the new G3 features, such as the new wing with increased dihedral, or the new, narrower track, higher landing gear....that's disappointing. :(

Just flew a G3 today and was all set to buy the model before I saw the screenshots

This is WIP. Haven't had time to do the FSX Shots yet but it too is FSX Compliant!
First look at Eaglesoft FS9 SR22G3 Turbo "Perspective" with G1000!
More about the FS9 and FSX Versions as schedules permit.
FS9 Shots as placeholders for short term.
