iniSimulations has released its long-awaited A300 BelugaST ON THE LINE for X-Plane 11. The unique Airbus aircraft is known for carrying aircraft parts around Europe to the various factories that build other aircraft. Its unique design and properties make the aircraft one of the most iconic in the world. iniSimulations created a detailed rendition of this particular plane.
The aircraft comes packed with a range of features to bring the most realistic rendition of the unique aircraft to X-Plane 11. As with previously released iniSimulations products, the BelugaST ON THE LINE features extensive 4K PBR texturing and a detailed external model reflecting the aircraft’s unique shape and design. The aircraft product also features a detailed rendition of the cargo interior and comes complete with 6 cargo options with a custom loader and animations that replicate the loading of lower and upper decks. The cockpit has been extensively modelled and includes detailed and sharp displays, animations and more.
The systems of this aircraft include a detailed and custom FMS designed to replicate the real-world data. This functionality includes SIDs, STARs, SEC flight plan and a custom LNAV system which has been further enhanced since the initial A300 release from iniSimulations. Furthermore, unique behaviour only found with this particular aircraft has been included with the product including an improved auto flight and handling. The flight model itself includes a custom stall effect, coupled with ground effect simulation and accurate take off and landing performance.
In addition, there are other features that extend the functionality of the plane in X-Plane 11. The aircraft comes with full Active Sky XP functionality, SimBrief integration and build-in panel state capabilities. Furthermore, a detailed rendition of Hawarden Airport (EGNR) has been included to ensure you have one of the main airports that this unique aircraft visits. There is also a VR configuration file (created by SimVR Labs) along with an extensive guide on the various routes this particular aircraft travels.
