Following on from the release of Maia-Vilar de Luz Airport, SimWorks Studios has announced that the Zenith CH701 STOL is in development for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The ultralight aircraft is popular amongst pilots thanks to its short take off and landing capabilities, along with its powerful engine and manoeuvrability.
SimWorks Studios has partnered with various developers to create the aircraft, including Kevin “Gibbage” Miller (3D modelling) and Pam Booker (flight dynamics). Further to the aircraft, those who do buy the product will get a free bush trip that will take you on a journey to experience some short take-off and landings to test the aircraft’s STOL capabilities. However, in-depth features were not yet mentioned on the Facebook post, but we’ll keep you updated should more details become available.
SimWorks Studios seem to think that the aircraft will be released via various locations (including the Microsoft Flight Simulator marketplace) by Christmas. The product is currently in beta testing and once we learn more, we’ll let you know.
