TorqueSim has introduced to the community their next product, the X-Aviation Take Command! SR20 for X-Plane. The aircraft is a derivative of all the work that was put in the previously released TorqueSim SR22. This new aircraft is a partnership between TorqueSim, RealSimGear and X-Aviation. The SR20 will retain the major features of the SR22, with a dedicated piston engine model simulating in this particular case the Continental IO360-ES. This engine features a dedicated custom physics model which reproduces the airflow and heat exchanges that happen in the engine much more accurately than the regular X-Plane model. The aircraft fuel and electrical systems are also faithfully reproduced with extreme attention to details such as vapor lock and simulation of all circuits and breakers. From a pilot perspective, the Take Command! SR20 also comes with a G1000 Perspective avionics suite based on the Laminar G1000 but which also includes Synthetic Vision. Finally, the flight dynamics are on par with the rest of the aircraft and use custom airfoils and a highly accurate shape to provide with the most faithful behavior.
With so much details, Torquesim has added a maintenance and failure model with a persistence mode, meaning that the next time you will select the SR20 you will find it in the last state you left it.
To conclude, the TorqueSim SR20 will come in a complete package with 3D sounds and 12 liveries.
The Cirrus SR20 is a light composite trainer aircraft certified in 1998. It can seat up to 4 or 5 people depending on the option and was later developed into the more powerful SR22, more adapted to air travel.
No release date has been given so far but the product release should not be far off. You can visit the product page for more details about expected features. Make sure to stay tuned on FSElite for further news regarding this exciting General Aviation aircraft for X-Plane.
