Hi :) An update for the VSKYLABS Phoenix U-15 Motor Glider was just released! Current version is now v004.3. Project update log is available at: http://www.vskylabs.com/2017/03/the-vskylabs-phoenix-air-phoenix.html

Hi :) Version v003.0 was just released. Full update log can be found at: http://www.vskylabs.com/2017/05/vskylabs-tecnam-p2006t-update-log.html

Hi! New update was just released! The VSKYLABS Tecnam P2006T was just updated to v002.1!!! Update to v002.1 is the completion of the aircraft's performance and handling PHASE#2 tuneup. Update details can be found in the project's update log page at: http://www.vskylabs.com/2017/05/vskylabs-tecnam-p2006t-update-log.html

Hi! The VSKYLABS Tecnam P2006T project for X-Plane 11 + 10.51 version 002.0 is now available! List of new features and fixes can be found in the project's update log page at: http://www.vskylabs.com/2017/05/vskylabs-tecnam-p2006t-update-log.html

Nice Photos @jt8d9a :) A (very) short video showing front door animation that will be featured in the upcoming v002.0 release. The doors are integrated into the flight model and will produce drag while opened. During flight it can be unlocked, but it will remain closed, as the wind force is supposed to force the door not to be wide open. Update release is expected to be during next week.

Hi! The initial release version is ready! Project's page: http://www.vskylabs.com/2017/04/vskylabs-tecnam-p2006t-project.html I'm excited...it is the the 3rd real-aircraft project this year, and the beginning of the long-term development phase had just started. It was a long road up this moment, I really hope that it will meet your expectations! The project's topic in the VSKYLABS Support forum can be found at: http://vskylabs.freeforums.net/thread/65/vskylabs-tecnam-p2006t Although I will keep using this topic (at AVSIM), please use the VSKYLABS Support forums for in depth discussions, bug reports, suggestions etc... Thank you all for your support! Amazing things are waiting down the road (including FREEWARE) :) JetManHuss.

Hi! Aircraft is getting into shape. Non-stop test flights, 3D model and simulation engineering. Here is a short video. Initial version release - I'm aiming for next week...

Hi! A few more recent screenshots. Development is getting tight as I've started to "open" its flight envelope....

Hi! Project Status Update (7th May 2017): *project's page: http://www.vskylabs.com/2017/04/vskylabs-tecnam-p2006t-project.html Almost every aspect of the aircraft is being tested, defined, fine-tuned...steps towards "completion" are getting smaller and smaller (as expected in this phase of development). GPS Functionality: I've decided to implement a simple, yet very useful functional feature for the GPS operation, which is the ability to operate it from the 3D cockpit view (and not only from the pop-up GPS screen). It is extremely useful to maintain a "clean" screen while flying and operating the GPS in a single PC-display configuration. Here is a short video showing it in action:

Thanks :) It will be, hopefully, ready in couple of weeks. The "prototype" is mostly in the air nowadays, mainly for flight testings and calibrations, as systems integration and functionality, flight dynamics and overall evaluation phase is taking place.

Hi! Thanks :) There are quite a few benefits in having dual GPS/GNS configuration. Here are some points to consider: (also in real life) - these two can "talk to each other"...share the same database and to be used as a "one device" with two screens. You can decide, for example, to keep the flight plan on one GNS and the map on the other. Or, you can keep the HSI display on the 430 and the map on the larger 530 screen. In a two-pilot cockpit operations, usually one NAV/COMM primarily drives the 'left' flight instruments (pilot), and the second drives the 'right' (co-pilot). In the VSKYLABS Tecnam P2006T, the 530 is NAV1/COMM1 and the 430 is NAV2/COMM2, so you're practically having two sets of these. The VSKYLABS P2006T is also equipped with analog instrument gauges and and a 4 digits ADF. ...I'm testing the plane with all kinds of air navigation practices. I want it to be a real IFR operational aircraft in X-Plane, for both GPS "simple", or "modern" navigation techniques (point to point), and "old-school" radio navigation using ADF, VOR...flying from FIX to FIX etc...

Hi :) ...I'm running tests with various layouts. As it is seems at the moment, I'm leaning towards the 2 x GPS config. I'm considering to include (in the future) more than one cockpit layouts though.

The VSKYLABS Tecnam P2006T Project. Hi:) The development status of the VSKYLABS Tecnam P2006T project is pretty advanced...I'll be using this topic as one of the update channels for the project. The Tecnam P2006T is an Italian high-winged, twin-engine all-metal light aircraft built by Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam, which is based in Italy. The P2006T is the lightest twin-engine certified aircraft available, and is a four-seat aircraft with fully retractable landing gear and liquid-cooled Rotax 912 engines. This is the biggest, most comprehensive project of mine up to date, and it is going to be a great flyer, with the ultimate focus (as always...) on accurate flight dynamics and handling characteristics. The VSKYLABS Tecnam P2006T will feature is featuring a fully animated 3D cockpit environment and system simulation, and it is expected to be ready...during May 2017 (initial release version). Project Status Update (30th April 2017): Aircraft engineering: Almost 100% of all 3D modeling and engineering is completed (internal and external) and systems are defined and integrated to work, including all cockpit switches, dials, knobs and levers. Final aircraft avionics configuration is yet to be decided, but I'm leaning towards a dual GNS configuration (Garmin 530+430). The project's main page is at: http://www.vskylabs.com/2017/04/vskylabs-tecnam-p2006t-project.html It will start to be filled up with full of details, screenshots, instructions etc... in the next couple of weeks. Here are some screenshots from the current development status (30th April 2017): (avionics arrangement within the panel is not final, as the Garmin 530 is planned to be set up above the 430, and other modifications to the instruments are to be expected).

Ok this is the plan: When I will model the pilot & the co pilot for my P2006T, I will create the male pilot for the Eurofox (humanoid session at VSKYLABS...LoL...) Hopefully it will happen next week (including the next Eurofox update).
