Note: This product features the versions for both FSX and FS2004 (they must be purchased separately). The FS2004 version is still available at the old price. The Do-27 celebrated its 50th birthday just a few weeks ago, and even today it fascinates thousands of enthusiasts around the world. Many of those who came in contact with the Dornier Do-27 could hardly take their hands off it. This add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator is quite different compared to the other add-on aircraft you might have experienced. Besides the extraordinary visual model this add-on is equipped with features that have never seen before in FS.
Today, flight simulation pilots can be divided in two groups. The first group is trying to simulate flights so that it is as real as it gets, and other uses fly for recreational purposes and mostly do short flights in their spare time. No matter which party you belong to this add-on can be used in two modes: Pro and Simple. In 'Simple' mode, this aircraft can be flown just for fun and recreation. In 'Pro' mode you always have to keep an eye on all the systems of the aircraft. It is an exciting challenge because operating errors will have consequences. Flight time will be logged in this mode only and the pilot is rewarded with certificates. Nearly every system element has its own sound: switches, knobs, levers, doors etc. There are also sounds for flying with opened/dumped doors, when the plane backfires, the chronograph, and more.
This very special replica comes in 2 variants, the A1 and B1, with 6 variations that are different in equipment, panels, exhausts, tires, lighting, and more. This aircraft is a dream to fly from the Virtual Cockpit (the 2D panel actually has to be turned on if you want to use it via the configuration tool). It is designed to be as realistic as possible, trying to put you in the actual cockpit, with everything modeled to expand your experience.
In summary, it is a very unique experience in that you have to maintain this aircraft just like you do in real life. And if this is all too complicated for you, simply select the Simple mode. There is actually a virtual skydiver that can be loaded on ground (non-visual). They will open the door in flight before leaving the plane. Skydiver Flights will also be counted and scored. This is just an example of the details that went into the overall product.
