Piaggio P.180 Avanti I (The OG)
-
Yes, I completely understand that someone has already done an Avanti for the sim. I have it, I have thoughts...
They did a Pro Line 21 equipped light simulation of an Avanti II. Many switches in the cockpit are not functional and you have to install 3rd party mods in your community folder to use external hardware that always breaks every update, etc. I really would like someone to go the extra mile with systems depth and do a Legacy P180 Avanti with the old EFD-85s and the round gauges. There are many reasons why I keep going back to the Duke Turbine and the Starship. I strongly think this would be a great Black Square Product and goes with the rare, obscure, and high performance planes you have already done and are working on. I was going down a pretty deep rabbit hole and found out a lot of the Legacy Avanti’s are wired for UNS-1 FMS but many owners have Garmin GNS/GTN’s in them interfaced with the EFIS-85 and some have started to go full Garmin in the past 2 years ripping out everything.
I really think this would be a no brainer! You already have the best PT6 simulation in desktop flight sim. There are multiple different avionics options, It goes fast, You have done 2 excellent pusher props already, one of those having an amazing legacy Collins avionics set... I am actually surprised this hasn’t been brought up and requested yet.
