Our vision with the IRIS Pro Training Series Pilatus PC-9/A was to create a desktop simulation product which could potentially be used as a real-world training aid. With access to an abundance of public information, we have been able to realise this vision and produce our most complex and rewarding aircraft to date.
The IRIS Pro Training Series Pilatus PC-9/A has been modelled after A23-52, an airframe specific to the Royal Australian Air Force Aerobatic Team, 'The Roulettes', and whilst a number of alternate paint schemes from which to choose have been provided, we have remained faithful to the the cockpit of A23-52 and its integrated systems.
So, whether your passion is aerobatics, instrument navigation or even some low level cross country, this aircraft has something for you. It has been a true labour of love for the IRIS team, and it certainly shows!
So strap yourself in, power up the aircraft and take a ride in this accurate, in-depth and enjoyable aircraft - it's easy to fly, but challenging to master!
Two of the common questions we get in regards to the new IRIS Pro Training Series - Pilatus PC-9/A are as follows;
1. What's different?
2. What sets this new product aside from the already popular freeware PC-9/A from IRIS Flight Simulation Software?
Well there are many differences in the new PC-9/A, in fact the ENTIRE product is different. The whole team here at IRIS approached this product with a singular mindset. This PC-9/A was to be developed to be potentially used by trainee pilots.
When developing the T-6A Texan II which can now be found shipped with Lockheed Martin’s Prepar3D simulation platform, we found that a number of US Air Force and US Navy trainees used our product for their familiarisation and training, albeit unofficially. As such, we had long envisioned producing a Pilatus PC-9/A with the potential of being used as a procedural simulator for instrument flight, systems familiarisation and emergency procedures training.
Not only that, but we wanted to ensure it could be enjoyable to fly for the average desktop simulation pilot, who may not for whatever reason have access to a real PC-9, but still want the experience of operating the aircraft. After many hours of testing and evaluation by real world pilots and simulation pilots alike, we strongly believe that we have been successful in both counts and we are supremely confident that the product is as close to the real aircraft as can be found in a desktop simulator.
Whilst not endorsed or officially developed in conjunction with the Royal Australian Air Force, being an Australian business, the product we chose to simulate is in fact based on the PC-9/A, specifically flown by the Roulettes, the Royal Australian Air Force Aerobatic Team. During development we were also lucky to have had feedback from pilots and ex-aircrew of the Pilatus PC-9 in regards to flight handling, visual accuracy, audio accuracy and more to ensure that everything in the cockpit works as intended for the purposes of training.
After over two years in development, it's turned out to be a superb simulation of the real PC-9/A in all regards and we’re undoubtedly proud of our accomplishments. So whether you’ve never flown an IRIS aircraft before, are a long-time fan or have moved on to pastures new, we invite you to come back to us and fly a product which is undoubtedly the most accurate, most detailed and most in-depth IRIS product to date.
Blue Skies!
