Project Highlights:
- VSKYLABS 'Test-Pilot' Project.
- Superb Flight dynamics: The VSKYLABS NISUS Gyroplane simulation is a highly engineered, robust Auto-gyro simulation model which makes use of X-Plane 12 sophisticated flight dynamics and physics simulation, extracting it to its limits.
- Simulated systems: The VSKYLABS NISUS Gyroplane features X-Plane 12 latest native features, systems and physics. This assures a 'high airworthiness' in X-Plane, throughout its update process. Some systems may be restricted to X-Plane default systems algorithms.
- General cockpit configuration: Equipped with a simplified NESIS III digital avionics package with a simplified emulation of the NESIS III engine-monitoring screen. Built-in AviTab compatibility is included, and the main NESIS display can be used for displaying the AviTab, in a toggle mechanism.
- 3-d HUD: The optional 3-d HUD is optimized for VR (and 2-d mode as well), providing useful flight-data and accurate velocity-vector references. This allows beginner pilots a safe familiarization with the NISUS Gyroplane nose attitude during all phases of flight, and the expert pilots to focus on 'pushing the envelope' especially in STOL operations in X-Plane 12.
- 3D Pilot and passenger visualization for increased VR and 2-d immersion (this feature is optional and can be toggled on/off).
- Perfect fit for beginner and expert pilots: The NISUS Gyroplane is a very stable, predictable and docile aircraft, a perfect fit for any beginner gyroplane pilot. Being flown by expert pilots, it can turn into a highly maneuverable, STOL capable aircraft.
- Multi-layer FMOD sound package.
- Highly responsive VSKYLABS support forums: VSKYLABS is offering continuous professional support from aircraft related aspects (operating and flying) to X-Plane technical support.
