Working Digital Dash with Instrument Dials, Switches and an additional Monitor Screen.

Altitude HUD. The plane will either automatically rotate and climb or descend and level to the altitude you choose.

The Socata has a new Automatic Landing system with a customizable notecard integrated into the HUD. You can either land at the 30+ airports listed in the HUD or add your own.
Once you choose your destination the plane will automatically descend to that airport. The system controls rate of descent and speed, you simply need to steer the plane left or right.

4 Automatic Take Off modes - Left / Straight long field & short field/ Right

Built-in automated wind system.

Selectable wind direction HUD.

Independent rudder control for correcting yaw.

2 Flight modes - Normal mode & Cruise mode

2 Flap modes, normal and fast sink rate.

Articulated flaps and nose gear.

To operate the wind system type "ww" (without parenthesis) in chat and then toggle the wind direction by typing "w" repeatedly until you find the wind direction you want. The wind direction is also shown in chat.

The plane will now fly as though there's a wind force on it. The wind system is active and changes force depending on the plane's orientation to the selected wind direction. If the wind is coming directly at the front of or the back of the plane there will be a change in speed. If the wind is coming towards the plane at a 45 degree angle there will be a moderate change in speed as well as a cross-wind/sideslipping effect. And if the wind is coming directly at the side of the plane there will be a maximum amount of cross-wind/sideslipping effect.

The force of the wind is also affected by the airplane's speed.

Got this plane as a gift...And what can I say - I just love it! Flies well, crosses sims well. Has built in color options, a really nice looking plane. It's perfect for my flights around the Blake Sea and USS area. I def recommend this if you are looking for a nice reliable and stable flying plane, thanks Java!

One of better planes here in SL. If you're looking for abit of realism and a challenge, look no further. Crosswinds will keep u busy while aiming for that perfect flare on approach. Wind is togglable and direction selectable, so even newbies can fly it. Very low lag, instant simcrossings, great for long distance travels and perfect flare on landings, one of better I've seen sofar. Worth the money, what more can I say?! Also Diamond! Well done Java! Hope to see more in the future =)
