VSKYLABS Aerospace Simulations have today announced the development of an ICON A5 for X-Plane 11. A light amphibious sport aircraft, it first flew five years ago.

Development of the aircraft began over a year ago, and is set to use X-Plane 11.30's experimental flight model, along with the A5's unique angle of attack system.

A notice was also issued regarding other developments:

"During the past few months, the VSL ICON-A5 development got higher priority than the VSL CTLS/CTSW. Main reason was to favor the development of the unique (amphibious) flying machine over the more traditional one, as it was a needed element in VSKYLABS preparations for future projects. However, the CTLS/CTSW is of course a living project and it is a planned release in the VSKYLABS 2019 road-map, currently aimed for late 2019."

Also attached, was a raw video of the ICON-A5 in action:
