The Beechcraft Duchess 76 is a popular twin engine General Aviation training and touring aircraft around the world. This model - for FSX and FS2004 - comes with an authentic avionics suite, a realistic set of liveries, and is based on detailed research on the actual real-world aircraft featured in the software.
Unique parking animations (FSX only) let you watch the Pilot place the wheel chocks, pitot cover and tie-downs around the aircraft and remove them before take off!
The FSX version uses the new FSX sound system in which the sounds change as you move around the outside of the aircraft. The FSX version also features specular and bump mapping as well as FSX-style gauge night lighting. The textures are optimised to give an ultra-real look and reflection maps have been included so that the textures reflect the environment.
The FSX model includes multiple additional views, taking full advantage of the new FSX view system, and also features the new Virtual Cockpit lighting.
