Kunstflieger und Simmer mit Schwäche für etwas andere Flugzeuge: aufgepasst! JRollon hat seine SIAI-Marchetti SF-260 released, ein italienisches Kunstflugzeug (hier die News zur Ankündigung) reinsten Wassers. Für 44,95$ lässt sich das etwas andere Flugzeug bei X-Plane.org erwerben.

Was ist noch besonders? Javier Rollon hat sich von Beginn an mit SimCoders zusammengetan, womit im Preis ein Reality Expansion Pack enthalten ist und damit jedem, der es in Bezug auf Normal und Abnormal Procedures realistisch haben möchte, etwas bieten sollte.

Für mich persönlich ist ein REP ein Qualitätsmerkmal, sodass ich einfach mal die Featureliste für sich selbst sprechen lasse. Achtung; umfangreich.
