I decided to check this out over the last couple of days and then do some follow up flights.

3D model with high resolution PBR textures.Functional 3D cockpit, with VR ready manipulators.Integrated Laminar Garmin G1000 PFD and MFD.FMOD High Quality sounds by Daniela RC.Accurate flight model by X-Aerodynamics.Here are some of the features as listed by the product page: With a tricycle undercarriage, glass cockpit powered by the G1000, and powered by 155HP CDI diesel engine, the Robin is firmly in the light aircraft category and its modern avionics as simulated make it a pretty good platform to start light aircraft training on. It’s not your typical Cessna 172 which makes this all the more interesting to me! (No offense to the ubiquitous 172)Ībout 1200 Robin DR401s have been built in real life with the first flight happening back in 1972 and production continuing into the modern day. I’ve got more reading to do but the companies sometimes eclectic list of aircraft have garnered plenty of positive attention.Īerobask decided that they would release an aircraft for X-Plane 11 completely free and decided that the Robin DR401 would be the subject of this free release.

Aircraft such as the Diamond DA62 and Epic E1000 G1000 Edition are all high quality releases for X-Plane 11 featuring all of the latest 4K PBR texturing, high fidelity flight models, and systems modeling. Yes, it is completely freeĪerobask have made a name for themselves within the X-Plane community with some high quality releases that seem to have garnered quite a bit of praise for the company and their work.

The reviews on this aircraft were almost universally positive so I thought it was time to check it out. There’s a surprising amount of free content available for owners of Laminar Research’s X-Plane 11 and one that has come up more than a few times while I’ve been searching around is the Robin DR401 by Aerobask.
