X-Crafts, an X-Plane 11 aircraft developer, has taken to their social networks to announce the release of a free preview model of their existing Embraer ERJ 140 rendition for X-Plane 11. The model gives the community the chance to download and load the model in the simulator to see it and decide whether to buy it or not.
The aircraft features moving control surfaces, controllable interior and exterior lights, textured and modelled objects throughout the aircraft, or controllable doors, for example. What the aircraft does not feature though, is, for example, flyable model, sounds, instruments, plugins or FMS or generally manipulators that were not mentioned above.
The flight model literally has the shape of a carrot. Granted, carrots are quite aerodynamic, but unfortunately the only thing they can do is fall (with style).
X-Crafts – E140 Preview Model Product Page
The frame rates you will get in the preview model should be about the same as you would get in the full version of the aircraft.
Although this might seem like a joke, it is not, and the aircraft can be downloaded through the X-Crafts website.
INCLUDED FEATURES
- Again, you cannot fly this model. The flight model literally has the shape of a carrot. Granted, carrots are quite aerodynamic, but unfortunately the only thing they can do is fall (with style).
- All objects and textures included.
- You can move the control surfaces (flaps, spoilers, ailerons, elevators, rudder).
- You can open/close all doors by clicking on them (while in the 3D cockpit view).
- You can control the interior and exterior lights using the knobs and switches in the cockpit and in the cabin.
- You can turn the batteries on and off (to provide power to the panel and cockpit lights).
- There are 10 golden tickets hidden all around the aircraft, try finding them all. Very few people have found all of them!
- You can also turn the whole aircraft into a giant carrot, if you find the big red button which is hidden somewhere in the aircraft 😉
- The model will self destruct after three loads.
NOT INCLUDED FEATURES
- No manipulators other than the ones mentioned above are included.
- No instruments, plugins or FMS are included.
- No sounds are included.
