Aircraft developer TorqueSim, the development studio behind the BN-2B islander, has recently released the BN-2T variant of the Britten-Norman islander for X-Plane 11
The BN-2T is not majorly different from the BN-2B Islander also released by TorqueSim, only in that it is fitted with 2 Allison 250 turbo props, as well as having a faster cruising speed and a longer range giving the aircraft a diverse range of possible uses.
The BN-2T has plenty of features including a highly detailed 3D exterior, and interior model, full PBR 4k Texturing, GTN750/650 support, custom systems, custom avionics, high fidelity FMOD pack, and much more.
The BN-2T Islander can be purchased from the X-Aviation website for approximately €28.91 here. Alternatively you can purchase the BN-2T and BN-2B in a bundle for 22% off by using the code 5798be55 at checkout.
The Britten-Norman islander series aircraft is a highly popular aircraft specifically in Europe, the aircraft, similar to the Twin Otter, is very rugged and has no problem with taking off from short runways.
