ATSimulations has yesterday taken to their Facebook Page to announce the release of the smallest twin engine aircraft, Cri-Cri, for Microsoft Flight Simulator. First announced almost three months ago, it is the first project from ATSimulations for the new simulator.
Based on the feature list, the aircraft features an accurate 3D model, realistic sounds of the engines, or 4K exterior maps for reflections or bumps, for example. Furthermore, the add-on features a total of three variants of the aircraft: piston engines, jet engines, and float-equipped.
The aircraft can be as of today purchased only through the ATSimulations website for approximately €12.45. The developer is currently discussing with Microsoft the ability to sell the product at the in-game Marketplace.
For those unfamiliar with it, the Colomban Cri-Cri is the smallest manned twin engine in the world. This French homebuilt aircraft was designed in the 1970s and was named after the designer’s daughter’s nickname. Despite its very small engines, the Cri-Cri manages the cruise at a respectable 100kt for 270NM.
