Carenado has taken to Facebook and YouTube to announce the release of their Fokker 50 (F50) aircraft for X-Plane 11.
Already a release for FSX and Prepar3D, Carenado announced back in July that the X-Plane version of the Fokker 50 was in the works. A month later and it’s available to buy right now. The Fokker 50 is a turboprop airliner made famous by big European operators such as KLM and Lufthansa. Sadly now retired from many airline operators, the Fokker 50 can still be seen in the skies of Belgium, Sweden, Iran and Australia.
Included within this package is the use of 4K PBR texturing throughout the entire aircraft. This will provide dynamic reflections, realistic metal and dielectric materials. For extra eye-candy, HDR lighting with gimballed 3D lights and dynamically illuminated ice lights for effective night lighting effects has also been included.
The aircraft is also optimised for virtual reality with extensive VR support. Regarding the aircraft sounds, the use of FMOD sound design implementation, including distance effects, and realistic blade reversal effects have been included. For navigational purposes, this package adds RealityXP GTN750 support (with 3D panel display support).
The full feature list can be found below.
If you would like to buy this aircraft, you can buy it now for $39.95 from the Carenado website.
