Aerodynamics is one of many reasons why we all love X-Plane. That’s also why, just like with the engine, aerodynamics on the TorqueSim SR22 have been designed to take full advantage of the simulator’s capabilities and get as close as possible to the real world equivalent. Therefore a professional flight model of the SR22 was created by X-Aerodynamics in 2018 – over many months of work using all available resources and documents. It is up to the most recent standards and greatly benefits of the flight model improvements introduced with version 11.41 of the simulator and is ready for 11.50. Key features Highly accurate cruise speeds and rates of climb Precise matching of stall speeds and glide ratio Correct take-off and landing distances Spot-on shape of the aircraft body to supply the most accurate input for X-Plane´s flight model effects Accurate control surface areas and deflections for realistic turn rates Special features A stack of custom airfoils ships with the flight model to resemble the scimitar-shaped propeller as well as the Roncz wing profile introduced with G3 of the SR22 which has some interesting characteristics: Cuffed Wing Design This term refers to the non-continuous leading edge with its characteristic droop on about the outboard half. Thus the outboard section features a lower angle of incidence than the inboard section and is still flying while the inboard part is already stalled. Stall Strips The real wing offers stall strips to complete the cuff effect, and our airfoil polars contain modifications in the places where these are located to accurately account for their effect. Stall strips are small attachments mounted at the leading edge located on the wing´s root, triangular in shape. At high angles of attack, they trip the laminar boundary layer at a location where stall is most favorable to onset, causing earlier flow separation and consequently a sooner stall than on the outer wing portions. Together with the cuffed wing design, the SR22 wing is engineered to stall from inboard to outboard, allowing for maximum roll control and spin prevention way into the stall.

Hello All, This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 4.9.2 update for SkyMaxx Pro. All customers who have purchased SkyMaxx Pro v4 up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete instructions on how to obtain your update. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase SkyMaxx Pro v4 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 4.9.2 for you. What if I didn't get the update e-mail? If you did not receive your update e-mail don't fret! X-Aviation has updated our system to allow all customers to update with ease, regardless of whether you received an e-mail for the update! Here's what to do: 1. Login to your X-Aviation account here: https://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/account_history.php 2. Find your original SkyMaxx Pro v4 download and re-download the file. It will download as the latest version! This release has experimental support for Vulkan if you are a Windows user. For Mac users, please be aware Metal is not supported. You may still enjoy this v4.9.2 update when running X-Plane in OpenGL mode. The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: Fixes lens flare effect under Vulkan Fixes clipped cloud layers in the distance under Vulkan at certain altitudes As always, thanks for purchasing from X-Aviation!

Cptburgos, I will never say never when it comes to X-Plane...but there really was nothing changed in the way the radios or nav-database works with 11.50. I also checked on my side with 11.50 and the navradios work fine. Cheers, Jan mmerelles: Working on it ;-)

Hello all 737 lovers i just tested the 737 with the new xplane update, everything seems to be working fine but there are two issues i found: 1) External textures and shadows are blurry 2) There some moments where the instruments glass have some sparkles. But in general is working great.

Hey everyone! Is there any way to create an airframe in a used state? let us say 550 hours airframe time? I always fly new airframes since every update resets my planes back to brand new out of the factory. Thanks David

Good job for the SkyMaxx Pro updates provided for Vulkan, now it works so smooth on my side and I feel that for the first time I can get the best out of SkyMaxx pro! Keep up the great work guys!

We´ll see ;-) Jan

Press the MENU button on the PFD. You will get a PFD SETUP menu in the lower right of the display. The 3 displays are listed. They should be on "AUTO" by default. Rotate the larger dial to move the selection to manual. Rotate the smaller dial (either by mouse clicks or scroll wheel) to adjust the brightness up or down.

The AOA indexer does not work under Vulkan.

SkyMaxx Pro is compatible with 11.5, but only in OpenGL mode. Unfortunately, Metal support will not be coming due to limitations out of our and even Laminar's control.

I'm sure you'll release a great FM update again...thanks for all your efforts Jan

I think it already works with Vulkan! Cheers, Jan
