Airborne XT-912
A high-quality aircraft model being developed for for X-Plane.

I'm pleased to announce the development of this popular micro-light, the XT912, for X-Plane.

As some of you know, my name is Reuben Mowbray from XPFW, and am the author of the Cessna 310R project. As I have been waiting on resources and data for that model (which I have been able to obtain a large part of over the last few weeks), I have started a couple of other projects in efforts to learn how to model in Blender and over time, I have become more adept at using this awesome 3D design program. The XT912 project is one of those projects.

I am some way from completing this model, and the time of completion depends on my own personal time to do so, however, be assured...it won't be too long.

Please find project updates in this thread as I continue to develop this bird. Any comments and suggestions of features to be implemented are welcomed.

Here are some pictures of the current state:

Hello Ribs,

I was excited to hear that you are planning to model the Airborne XT912 ultraight as that is the craft I am learning on to get my Sports Pilot license. I look forward to the completion of your project

Been following your work - great stuff Reuben! Looking forward to fly your planes.

Fantastic. Great it will be of use. I'm utilizing generic instruments to simulate very closely the Skydat GX2 LCD display. It's going to look nice. I'll post some pics in-sim soon.

I'm almost certain this will be payware.

As a heads up, this plane is going to go on the market as a high quality payware product. There are a lot of really neat features I'm modeling into this bird, so stay tuned - and be assured, it's not going to be an expensive model. Currently I'm just tweaking wing flex for the model, and I have a simulated LCD display which I've just mapped to the 3D cockpit now and let me tell you, it looks very nice.

At the moment, I'm finishing the 3D mesh (more details to add) and working on the animations. I'll be posting some screens soon...

where can i get it and how much does it cost?

When completed, I'll let you know the details such as pricing and other purchase details. Things are progressing well, but just at the moment my resources are funneled into another project due out in the next 2 weeks. After that, work continues as normal on the XT912.
