    This add-on is NOT compatible with the Xbox edition of MSFS.

    The Velocity is a family of home-built, high-performance, composite construction, single-engine aircraft. Notably, the Velocity has canard-style airfoils rather than a conventional main wing for lift, and counteracting tail surfaces for control and stability. The most advantageous feature of the canard design is its resistance to deep stalls and spins. On a canard aircraft, the forward wing is designed to stall prior to the main wing, thereby pitching the aircraft down and restoring
    lift to the main wing.

    Nearly 1,000 proud Velocity owners have assembled and fabricated parts to complete the aircraft of their dreams in a process that takes around 2,000 hours of work. The builder is rewarded with one of the highest performance piston singles on the market, and an aircraft that meets their exact specifications.

    The original Velocity was designed by Danny Maher, and debuted at the 1986 Sun-N-Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida, USA. The modern Velocity models are the result of several redesigns by the current owners, Scott and Duane Swing.

    Black Square's Velocity XL is modelled after a top-end Velocity build, with an upgraded 400HP Continental TSIO-550 fitted with dual turbochargers, giving the aircraft a critical altitude of 24,000 feet and ground speeds of over 400 MPH. With a range of over 1,600 miles and single-engine efficiency, the Velocity is a real contender when compared with small turboprop business aircraft that operate at 5-10 times the cost.


    FEATURES

    Model

    • Accurately modelled Velocity TXL-RG, inside and out, created from hundreds of reference photos from Velocity aircraft builders
    • 100% MSFS native animation code for the smoothest animations and cockpit interactions using either legacy or new cockpit interaction modes
    • 4096x4096 (4K) textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity
    • PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism
    • Detailed normal mapping for leather, fabric, plastic, stitches, scratches, carpet, tooling marks, and even embroidered logos, resulting in a texture resolution of 10,000 pixels per square inch (90.0kB)
    • Extensive use of new MSFS decal system for nearly vector-graphic quality of labels, arrows and exterior detail features
    • Ground services support (marshaller and fuel truck)
    • Full support for MSFS visual icing effects


    Cockpit

    • Fully featured IFR-capable panel with dual G3X Touch (Working Title G3X freeware mod recommended), GTN 750 (requires freeware PMS-50 GTN 750 mod), and GFC500 autopilot controller, all with cross-fill, and synchronised autopilot controls
    • Every knob, switch and button is interactable and implemented, along with its respective electrical circuit
    • Lighted standby instruments for worst case scenario failures
    • Hideable side-sticks
    • Placarded reference speeds for easy reference while learning the aircraft
    • Developed using the latest MSFS standards, including intuitive and easy-to-use controls for rotary knobs, multi-position switches and levers


    Systems

    Experience the power of one of the world’s fastest, highest flying, piston-driven light aircraft. From the beginning, Black Square’s Velocity XL was designed to deliver the raw excitement of operating a home-built, four-seat aircraft in the flight levels, travelling at over half the speed of sound. Enjoy features such as:

    • Twin, turbo-normalised engine with exhaust vibration and tailpipes that glow accurately with turbine inlet temperature
    • Fully realised electrical system with every circuit breaker functioning
    • Challenging push-prop engine temperature management monitored via custom G3X engine instrumentation
    • Unique 'two green' retractable landing gear system, fully implemented gear warning and electric hydraulic system, with back-up gear release valve logic
    • Hear the ambient noise difference the inflatable door seal system makes to the comfort of your cruise, with door ajar warning
    • Dimmable interior lighting with backlit panels, standby instrument lighting, glareshield glow, and cozy cabin dome lighting
    • Unusual fuel management system with combining header tank logic
    • Working ELT and Hobbs meter to track your flying hours


    Sounds

    The Velocity XL features a MSFS-native (Wwise) 3D sound package taking full advantage of the new capabilities. Based on the default MSFS Extra 330, the Velocity XL’s sound set includes added sounds and custom code to create a fully featured soundscape inside and out to give the feel of the real aircraft’s power and construction.

    • Rich audio for every switch, button, lever and electrical system
    • Detailed physics-based effects on engine and wind noise
    • Accurately positioned 3D sound sources (best enjoyed in VR!)
    • Crash and scraping effects for composite airframe
    • Authentic retractable gear sounds and whistle


    Flight dynamics

    The Velocity XL features realistic and accurate flight dynamics, designed to work with MSFS’s new aerodynamics simulation. The aerodynamics take advantage of new canard aerodynamics options that have only recently become available in MSFS. Users can expect the docile stall and spin-resistant characteristics of real canard aircraft with this add-on.


    Liveries

    The Velocity XL comes with six paint schemes based on real-world aircraft:

    • N285VL (USA)
    • N467AK (USA)
    • N516K (USA)
    • N750C (USA)
    • N7075J (USA)
    • G-IRTI (UK)

    All textures are 4096x4096 (4K) resolution with MSFS native PBR (Physically Based Rendering) properties across nine channels of surface detail information, resulting in a whopping 1,600 pixels (14.4kB) per square inch on the interior model.

    A blank (plain white paint scheme) is included for users to easily create their own paint schemes. 'Experimental' placards on the cabin doors, required by real-world laws, can be easily removed in a separate texture if the user prefers that for aesthetics.


    Manual

    A comprehensive PDF manual with panel guide and checklists is included as well as an Operating Data Manual with performance data. In-game checklists are also included with control highlighting and custom camera locations.

    Requirements

    Microsoft Flight Simulator (i.e. the 2020 Standard, Deluxe or Premium Deluxe PC/Steam edition)

    Following the latest update this airplane went from 4 to 5 stars for me. The turboprop and engine simulation is now top tier, and the few features that didn't work on release like the environmental controls now work. Beautiful and unique airplane with plenty of depth.

    Review update: Update 0.1.2 has now a fully working environment control with according noises. Flights in cold conditions are now possible with no more icing on the windshield. Heaters are working correctly being used on automatic or manual mode with different fan speeds and AC is cooling the cabin down at different rates depending on the blower speed. The doors seals are now working correctly too. They reduce the wind noise in the cabin. The difference of noise is noticeable (it takes a few seconds ton inflate like the real system) when having some speed in the air, not on the ground. A great update for a great plane!

    This is my favorite GA airplane. It looks like a spaceship and is kind of like the DA-62 on steroids: much faster, more things to do, much better fuel economy and excellent range. When you use the G3X and GNS 750 there's plenty of things to do, and you can learn to lean the mixture during flight to get range and fuel economy, it gives you something to do during the long flights. Even without flaps it can land on very short runways like a STOL plane. Contrary to what some say, the canard animation is not inverted, they are supposed to flap down when the plane goes up (when they point down it increases the lift on the front which points the plane up).

    Great plane, one of my favorites. I like the updated changes including the functional A/C and new sounds. The inflator thing doesn't seem to do anything other than just draw more power. Also please fix the canard animation since it is inverted.

    This is actually a very nice addon/airplane. Model and textures are good, flight model is what you would expect from a canard, the engine sound is nicely tweaked. The buttons sound in the cockpit should be a little louder though and I can't hear a difference of "noise" when having the doors sealed or not. Having the AC working and state saving in a future update would be great. Nonetheless it is a great tourer and a very interesting and pleasant airplane to fly.
