Pacific Aerospace 750 XSTO

[Zangoose 1,631]

Sorry if there is a thread on this already but I couldn't see one. Orbx have announced a new aircraft for MSFS - The Pacific Aerospace 750 XSTO

Quote

 

Designed and manufactured by Pacific Aerospace in Hamilton, New Zealand, the PAC P-750 XSTOL can trace its origins to the PAC Cresco and Fletcher. Whilst retaining the PT-6 turboprop engine and wings of the Cresco, the P-750 has a larger fuselage and a modified tail, and is an extremely versatile aircraft that lives up to its multi-role utility definition.

 

The unique design of the PAC 750 allows for Extremely Short Take-Off and Landing (XSTOL). Take off and land in less than 800 ft (244m), even in hot and high conditions and on semi-prepared airstrips in all types of terrain.

 

Orbx’s PAC 750 XSTOL brings four roles of the P-750 to Microsoft Flight Simulator: skydiving, agricultural, cargo and passenger.

 

More information and a bunch of screenshots on their forum thread at: https://forum.orbxdirect.com/topic/215221-introducing-the-multi-role-utility-workhorse-pacific-aerospace-750-xstol-for-microsoft-flight-simulator

Interesting plane. I hope it's better than their Optica.

Hopefully it’s has GTN options.

Looks like TDS support at least

A panel-mounted tablet allows you to configure parts of the aircraft, like connecting ground power, switching the display units, and enabling TDS GTNXi support.

I'm interested it's unique and supports tds.  Looks like it has a Sandel EHSI.  Wonder what the depth of that gauge is?

I actually saw this airplane quite a lot. It used to fly for GO JUMP at KOKB

Sure looks tempting.

That is probably the ugliest aircraft ever

It's like that aircraft out of the film 'Flight Of The Phoenix' that got rebuilt from spare parts.

Interesting, Ive jumped out of one of these, I seem to remember it had an excellent climb rate considering its load

 

..Ooo and it has some proper gauges, if its any good it might just replace my PC-6 from that  company I no longer wish to support😜

Call it ugly but it flies pretty 🙂
