The PZL-104MA Wilga 2000 is an all-aluminum aircraft, with a high wing, large trailing-link landing gear, and great short-field abilities. It is powered by a Lycoming IO-540 with an improved Hartzell three-blade propeller. Together this combination produces 290 HP at 2,550 RPM, allowing for excellent short-field performance. Its large trailing-link gear absorb impacts when operating on unimproved and bumpy runways, and the full-length fixed leading-edge slats on the wings provide greatly improved slow-speed handling. This combination of features make it an outstanding back country aircraft.
In simulating the PZL-104MA Wilga 2000 Thranda worked closely with one of the few owners in the US, even getting some hands-on stick time in the air. They believe they have captured the feel and performance of the real thing with a high degree of fidelity.
This exceptional model by Thranda is part of the '
Dynamic Generation Series'.
See the Detailed Description below for details of all the aircraft features!
Special features
-
NEW: DynaFeel - advanced custom flight dynamics, affecting control input effects at different airspeeds. Adjust the heaviness of the controls in real-time via sliders in pop-up window.
-
Regular tyres, tundra tyres, skis
-
FULLY configurable 3D instrument panel
-
Over 50 instruments to choose from! (including Aspen EFD 1000 and support for RealityXP GTN750)
-
Move any instrument to any location on the panel, or even between pilot and copilot's panel!
-
Comes with 3 panel presets, but can easily be expanded by moving instruments around, using a simple and intuitive interface
-
Save your own presets and even share them with the community!
-
Instruments can be moved in 3D directly, on a 2D pop-up preview window or by numerical entry for precise placement
-
GNS430 and 530 can be swapped out, but a restart of the plane is required, as 430s and 530s are mutually exclusive in terms of compatibility in X-Plane
-
Dynamic livery editor (like in the Kodiak, the Pilatus PC-6, and the Beaver)
-
Full PBR control! Create stunning metallic liveries, or a matte, sand-blasted look in mere seconds!
-
Additional control over dirt/grime, scratches/nicks, adjustable in real-time to dial in the exact desired amount of wear and tear. Affects airspeed. Clean plane will fly 2-3 MPH faster.
-
Control over interior dirt, grime, scratches, nicks, also adjustable in real-time.
-
Create 'virtual' liveries, based on one common design layout, and assign any colour to any available paint segment.
-
Quickly create a preview of livery in real-time, using intuitive controls. Previews now include visualisation of metallic materials and dirt overlays.
-
Apply selected livery in real time, right in the sim, without the need to even touch a third party image editor or load extra software
-
Option to change the tail number in real-time, or disable it altogether. (Enter a 'space' instead of a callsign number to create a blank tail number.)
-
Easily and quickly create dozens of unique color schemes in-sim!
-
Also supports 12 traditionally painted liveries, all visible in a convenient pre-selection preview window.
-
Uses the SkunkCrafts Updater. Option to participate in Beta program, via check box in SkunkCrafts Updater.
-
Excellent hi-res PBR realistic materials, featuring true-to-life plate deformation and to-the-rivet precision.
Feature-rich elegant fly-out menu with the following features
-
Realism settings for engine and tail wheel (simplified vs. realistic modes)
-
Checklist pop-up controls
-
Innovative electric tug, with in-panel controls to move forward/backward at the desired speed, and steer proportionally
-
Control over chocks, individual tie-downs, covers, internal lights, external lights etc.
-
Option to start up running (all systems ready), or cold-and-dark, for realistic start-up procedures
-
Control landing lights, strobes, beacon and NAV lights via pop-up window
-
Detailed weight and balance manager with visual chart, individual passenger seat weight control, lb/kg unit toggle, CG control, and the option to save and load configuration
-
Multiple camera snap points, above and beyond what's available by default in X-Plane, so you can perform your walk-around checks.
-
Adjust your camera's Field of View without having to go to an X-plane menu, allowing for real-time adjustments
-
Audio mixer - individually control audio channels in real time, so you can adjust volumes while hearing them play
-
Slew control - move your plane around the world, temporarily bypassing flight physics. Includes ground mode and air mode.
-
Dynamic panel control page, with a separate view for the entire panel layout preview, or a per-instrument view, allowing for fine-tuning of instrument position, as well as copy-paste function to quickly replace instruments.
-
The 'Misc' page in the fly-out window contains options to customise the plane, such as:
- Skis
- Tundra tyres
- Bubble windows
- DynaFeel intensity
Flight dynamics and systems
-
DynaFeel - an increase in airspeed doesn't just limit the control surface deflections, as is normally done in flight sims, but control deflections feel increasingly heavy. Tiny deflections still feel nimble, even at higher speeds.
-
The Wilga's trailing link front suspension provides ultra-plush damping and shock absorption, but also has some unique quirks during taxiing that are also simulated.
-
The Wilga also has permanent leading edge slats, contributing greatly to its docile flight and stall characteristics.
-
This model of the Wilga has the most powerful engine of the series, making it excellent for STOL operations and bush flying.
-
Tie-downs and chocks actually keep the plane from moving, even in high winds.
-
Doors can be jettisoned.
Advanced FMOD-based sound system
-
High fidelity, multi-track sounds with smooth transitions and amazing atmospheric effects
-
Individual volume control over different aspects of the sound experience, adjustable in real time (while listening to the sounds)
-
Different sounds for front of plane than for back of plane
-
Panning around the plane in exterior view yields awesome 3D audio effects, including a 'blade slapping sound when view is perpendicular to prop
-
Individual buttons and switches in the cockpit each have their own unique sound
-
Sound of engine cooling off after flight realistically implemented (based on temperature)
-
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.)
System Requirements:
-
X-Plane 11
-
Windows, Mac or Linux
-
4GB VRAM minimum (8GB+ VRAM recommended)
-
The aircraft comes with an auto-updater
