•  Dynamic Livery Editor - create your new livery while in the sim!  Two presets: classic Quest livery, and newer Daher livery
• Comprehensive menu system with per-passenger Weight and Balance Manager, audio controls, custom slew controls, livery selection, aircraft configuration etc.
• Swappable pilot and copilot figures
• Many options, including wheel fairings, tundra tires, skis, mud flaps

Aircraft visuals:

• Amazingly deep 3D mesh throughout, based on actual CAD model of the real plane
• High resolution 8k textures and detailed PBR materials
• Dynamic Livery generator - generate dozens of livery varieties within minutes, live, while in-sim
• High quality textures (over 1000 pix/m!)
• PBR dynamic interior window reflections with realistic scratches and imperfections
• Window and instrument reflections that emulate sense of depth
• Numerous covers, tie-downs, chocks, caps - all accessible via menu
• Modelled and functional GPU
• Custom lighting throughout (custom strobe flash pattern, custom halos, custom lighting logic)
• Pulsing landing light option
• Gimballed internal 3D lights throughout, which cast light on the surfaces they point to (HDR mode)
• Lifelike, realistically animated Pilot and Co-pilot figures (Co-pilot figure appears/disappears depending on weight)
• Features a Cargo mode, which covers windows and rearranges the passenger compartment for cargo operations
• Cargo that appears and disappears, depending on weight set (in Cargo mode)
• Detailed engine model under cowlings that can be opened
• All chrome and reflective materials look realistic in X-Plane, thanks to PBR
• Extremely detailed and realistic panel, G1000 glass, and steam gauge glass, which is also night-lighting responsive, and features Fresnel effect
• Slick 2D pop-up (actually, 'fly-out') window, giving you quick access to all the plane's extra features
• Animated air conditioning gimbals throughout
• Custom and X-plane default camera presets
• Hideable cargo pod with doors that can be opened, revealing cargo inside that changes depending on the weight that is set in the pod
• Open cargo pod doors respond to prop wash or weather wind by oscillating back and forth
• Electric tug, to tow the plane (based on a real-life tug model controlled via smartphone.)

Flight dynamics and systems:

• Laminar's built-in G1000, which features procedures and synthetic vision
• Extremely accurate flight dynamics, arrived at with the help of in-house real-time visual tools (Fully updated to X-Plane 12, including water model)
• Smoke in the cockpit can be brought under control by pulling the 'Firewall Air' via knob on panel.
• Cargo pod and wheel pants affect aerodynamics realistically
•  Adding cargo pod enables use of weight and balance manager to determine load.
• Docking Hold Mode for amphibian, which holds the plane in place as if it were tied to the dock, but allows it to rock around with the waves
• Interface and usability
• Fly-out pop-up menu featuring six menus:
  • General (mode, tug, cargo pod, reflections, lights, etc. options)
  • Livery selector for pre-painted liveries (X-Plane standard system, with animated previews that look great) or switch to dynamic liveries, where you can edit and create your own liveries quickly with the provided tools
  • Improved dynamic real-time weight-and-balance manager with full scroll support, metric/imperial switching, cargo pod option, ability to load a saved configuration
  • Camera: select camera snap points visually, or use X-Plane's internal camera preset system, with an added visual interface
  • Audio: Mix 6 aspects of audio in the plane, via scrollable volume faders, to get the mix just right for your taste
  • Slew mode allows you to place your plane in real time in 3D, temporarily bypassing X-plane's aerodynamics.
  • Misc menu allows access to skis, bush tires, mud flaps, cargo version, executive version, synthetic vision in G1000, autopilot choice (G1000 bezel or S-TEC55), and anti-ice option

Advanced sound system:

• Doppler effects are sensitive to how the camera is behaving in relation to the plane. (No more screeching when dollying camera towards the plane.)
• High fidelity, multi-track fmod sounds, simulating multiple layers of engine and prop sounds, depending on camera angle, distance, atmospheric conditions etc.
• Different for front of plane vs. back of plane
• Panning around the plane yields stunning 3D audio effects
• Audio positioning is clearly discernible; move around the engine compartment and the sound origin clearly shifts depending on where the camera is pointing.
• Individual buttons and switches in the cockpit each have their own sound origin, which is mapped across the stereo spectrum.
• Gimballed AC vents
• Ambient sounds
• Realistic electrical sounds, based on bus load and other factors. (Sounds actually give you clues as to what's happening under the hood.)
• Yoke, throttle quadrant, brake handle etc. make friction sounds that are proportional to their movements, both in pitch and in volume.
• Combustion roar sound typical for turboprop engines - recorded from real PT6 engine
• Outside wind intensity is affected by slip and AOA. (The more the surface area of the fuselage is hit by oncoming wind, the louder the sounds)

• X-Plane 12 (not for XP11)
• Windows, Mac or Linux
• 4 GB VRAM (8 GB+ recommended)
