Project Introduction

 

The VSKYLABS Aeropro EuroFOX project for X-Plane is designed with the focus on simplicity and effectiveness. The flight model is tuned to meet with the 'original' Aeroprakt EuroFOX aircraft flight handling characteristics and operational techniques.

The project consists Three versions of the EuroFOX; The Tricycle (Known in the US as the 'Aerotrek 240'), the standard Tail wheel version ('Aerotrek 220'), and the Tundra tires Tail wheel version ('Aerotrek 220 STOL'). All three variants are equipped with the Rotax 912/100 hp engine.

 

Project Highlights

  • Three aircraft included (A240/A220/A220-STOL).
  • Designed for X-Plane 12 cutting edge flight model environment. Authentic flight dynamics with authentic performance and flight handling characteristics.
  • Built for VR: Tailored for VR, and optimized for 2D usage.
  • Engineered and designed as a genuine, default X-Plane 12 aircraft. The VSKYLABS projects are practically show-casing X-Plane, as they are stretching X-Plane default features, systems and flight model to its limits without any dependencies on complementary plugins or software...delivering a very robust simulation model, having maximum compatibility with the ever evolving X-Plane flight simulator.
  • Perfect fit for beginner and expert pilots. Practice your skills through the Tricycle landing gears EuroFOX, Tail-Wheel variant, and a STOL Bush-Plane variant.
  • Equipped with Alpha Systems AOA 'Eagle' indicator replica.
  • Built-in Avitab Plugin Compatibility (AviTab plugin is not included).
  • FMOD 2.0 sound pack.
  • Highly responsive VSKYLABS support forums: VSKYLABS offers continuous professional support, from all aircraft related aspects (operating and flying) to X-Plane technical support.
  • The project is under constant maintenance and development.
  • The project includes the VSKYLABS 'Cockpit-Builders Heaven' assignment layer. It allows assigning all aircraft switches, knobs, levers and interactions in a designated, uncluttered section in the X-Plane 12 assignment screen.
