  • Description

    This is the classic, famed General Aviation plane of most of Europe, the Robin DR400,  designed by Pierre Robin. This particular model is the DR400 / 180, featuring a higher performance 180 HP engine. The DR400 is a wood based aircraft with wood ribbing wing structures covered with aircraft fabric. The fuselage is mostly skinned, high grade woods as well. The interior seats 4 people neatly and usually sports a very nice Avionics stack. This aircraft is said to be in higher numbers then Cessna at most all air clubs and flying schools and small air strips and airports. It is probably one of 'the' most famous GA planes in most of Europe.

    This package features

    • 5 Aircraft liverie paint schemes
    • Detailed instrument panel with all 3D switches and knobs, animated as well
    • Sophisticated Garmin GNS-430 GPS nav system
    • Authentic Robin fuel, tachometer, and air speed instruments including popup window modes
    • High detail interior
    • Authentic starter button at fuel selector
    • Animated pilot that scans instruments and the horizon

    This package addon is for Prepar3D Flight Training Simulator, and Microsoft Flight Simulator X, FSX with the SP1 Service Pack.

    Exterior

    There are presently 7 different exterior paint schemes that the Robin DR400 comes with. These are the classic paint schemes given them by the factory. The 'Gray and Yellow' version, gray on top with yellow stripes, is a weathered, aged version.

    Panel

    We sought to make the panel as realistic as possible. This panel features sunken instruments with glass surfaces revealing reflections as like real glass instruments. The Avionics stack is modeled in high 3D, mapped directly to gauge data.

    Mini gauge popup windows are featured on the Robins elaborate, realistic panel. Clicking on certain click zones causes most gauges to popup, such as the gauges mentioned above as well as the radio stack.

    In this package, we feature the Garmin GNS-430, a GPS system which serves on this plane as COM2/NAV2, and has 2 popup modes; radio stack mode, and larger GPS map mode size for easier reading of the small map window.

    This Robin DR400 is fitted with a basic yet very functional S-Tec 55 auto pilot. It will set (lock) your altitude or climb rate, and also lock your heading setting, and will fly a GPS preset route.

    Special features

    Special Features are the 'extra's that the package features.

    • Sound Effects System that features click sounds and sound effects
    • Popup Mini Windows of gauges that are specific to the DR400
      1. Speed gauge with flaps and stall and cruise 'speed registry' dots
      2. Tachmeter with red line for the 180 HP engine
      3. Robin fuel gauges that are in Liters, but have mouse overs in Gallons, and feature the graphics that show how many Liters are in each quarter of the fuel cell; left, center, right.
      4. S-Tec 55 Auto Pilot with Nav GPS navigation basic capacity
      5. Garmin high detail GNS-430 GPS system
      6. Weathered, well used Bendix King COM1/NAV1 radios and Bendix King Transponder
      7. Dual VOR1 and VOR2 gauges for VOR navigational flights and triangulations of waypoints

    Instrumentation features include

    • Glass Faces with reflections
    • 3D Bazels and sunken faces
    • Complete 3D modeled radio stack including the small rubber buttons on the GPS and auto pilot, fully modelled and not flat polygon plates.
    • Soft glow instrumentation system that features internal illumination, sporting a very realistic appearance for night flights where one does not need to use the dome light to see instruments at night.

    The Robin is a unique plane and for some reason difficult to locate a solid sim representation. I chose this one in a whim and so far feel pretty good about it. It’s a really nice plane for touring under 10,000 feet. Has a fair amount of power for short flights with lesser fuel and perform well even loaded up. There’s a nice selection of liveries included. The interior looks like any Robin I’ve ever seen and is detailed nicely. It sounds right and flies right. Lionheart always offers very pretty planes and this is slightly less eye popping, but the Robin isn’t really eye popping anyway. It’s a bird that may need some acquired taste. For the money it’s a solid purchase and I’m not finding any problems with it after my first 4 hours of flying.

    je viens d'installer cet avion et je suis extrêmement déçu.J'ai fêté cette année mes 40 ans de licence de pilote (réel) et je fais du simulateur depuis une vingtaine d'année. Outre la finition graphique du modèle qui est du niveau des premiers avions de FS9, le modèle de vol est particulièrement bâclé. J'ai testé le décrochage en refusant de rendre la main. l'avion à continué de se cabrer même à vitesse zéro ! (vario négatif quand même) jusqu'à se mettre vertical !!!! jamais vu ça ! puis il a fini par entrer en vrille plate ! le vrai (suivant les modèles) parachuterait avec un fort vario négatif en devenant de plus en plus instable en roulis, mais vous ne maintiendrez jamais le nez au dessus de l'horizon en maintenant le manche au ventre. et vous ne le mettrez jamais dans ces conditions en position vertical. En virage à 60°, à 100 km/h et 2000 trs j'arrive encore à avoir un vario positif ! incroyable. Le modèle de vol (surtout au basse vitesse) est complètement loufoque et donc à l'atterrissage aussi...bizarrement j'avais vu des critiques similaires sur celui de X-Plane et la modélisation ressemble beaucoup à celui de X-plane...En conclusion, cette avion est un pur produit commercial et ne convient pas du tout à un simmeur exigent ou un pilote réel qui veut poursuivre son entrainement à la maison.

    Gutes Modell zu fairem Preis. Alle Systeme lassen sich steuern. Gute Flugeigenschaften. Nur der Lichtkegel von Taxi- und Landescheinwerfer könnte realistischer sein.

    An excellent representation of the real aircraft. A joy to fly in FSX. The only thing I'm not sure about are the windows. According to the manufacturers website the 160 and 180 version has an extra window each side over the baggage compartment. Maybe that minor thing could be added later. Still good fun however.

    Bien que non précisé, le Robin passe très bien sur DX 10 preview pour ceux que cela intéresse. Enfin cet avion très présent dans le ciel français arrive dans notre ciel virtuel. L'aspect extérieur est simple tout comme l'avion réel et le tableau de bord est exactement la réplique du vrai, pour ma part, c'est un must.
