Aerobask Lancair Legacy RG Due to Enter Private Beta Shortly

Through a post on x-plane.org, Aerobask has posted new previews of the Lancair Legacy RG they are working on, along with some details of the aircraft's features.

Previously known as the SkunkCrafts Lancair Legacy RG, Aerobask took control of the project in February. According to developer Yoyoz, the 3D and texturing needed to be started over, and the results can be seen in today's new previews.

The aircraft was said to be going into the private beta stage of development, with a public release expected in June if no major problems arise.

"The Lancair Legacy is a two-seat single-engine light aircraft marketed in kit form, which is now out of production," wrote Yoyoz to the new post. "It evolved from the Lancair 235/320 series, but with a larger fuselage and more powerful engine, and like them, is a low-winged monoplane of composite construction, with side-by-side seating in an enclosed cockpit. They are efficient in speed, space, and economy. The RG variant features a retractable gear."

A list of the main features expected in the aircraft was included, as partly highlighted in the above screenshots.

  • Highly detailed 3D model interior and exterior
  • PBR 4K textures
  • High quality FMOD sounds from Daniela Rodríguez Careri, based on custom recordings from Legacy reg. N637PG
  • High accuracy flight model by X-Aerodynamics (tuned for standard flight model)
  • Real and custom 4K liveries with assorted interiors
  • Stock but highly realistic GNS530
  • Native support of RXP GTN750 in replacement of GNS530+SL70 (Windows only, separate product needed)
  • Continental IO-550 310hp engine

An extended list of custom-coded SASL instruments was also listed:

  • Avidyne EXP5000 EFIS
  • Avidyne DFC90 Autopilot
  • J.P. Instruments VM1000C engine management system
  • Mountain High ED2-IP oxygen system
  • A.F.S. AOA Pro angle of attack indicator
  • Garmin SL30 COM/NAV
  • Apollo SL70 Transponder
  • Aerospace Logic CO200 digital clock
  • Mid-Continent MD302 Standby Attitude Module

A couple of further screenshots of the aircraft will be published by Threshold later this week - be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter so as not to miss them.

The aircraft developer unveiled a Shark UL not too long ago with SkyView avionics, and of course is continuing to work on the Dassault Falcon 8X.
