The in-house Just Flight team are actively working on their next aircraft, the Robin DR400.

Announced through social media channels such as Facebook, the developer will make this aircraft for FSX and Prepar3D firstly, and port the aircraft to X-Plane 11 at a later date.

As a result of this, all screenshots in this news article are from the ESP platform and not X-Plane.

As noted on the product page, the specific model in the works is G-BEUP, located at Goodwood Aerodrome in the United kingdom.

The exact type is the Robin DR400-180 Regent. it has four seats, fixed tricycle gear and a 180 horsepower engine.

With a forward sliding canopy, high visibility and payload capacities, the aircraft is suited for touring and flight training at 130 knots.

"The model will take advantage of the latest technologies such as PBR to produce stunning visual fidelity. The DR400 is flown all around the world and our add-on reflects that global popularity. The package will feature liveries from the UK, USA, Europe and Australia."

It is likely that Thranda Design, who have ported Just Flight's aircraft to X-plane 11, will do the honours for the DR400. This will be similar to their PA-38 Tomahawk, announced back in March.
