The RV-10 is a single-engine, low-wing, homebuilt kit monoplane by Van’s Aircraft Inc. A fourseat
version of their successful RV line, the design is popular as a touring aircraft, and over 1,000

recreation of its real counterpart. Featuring a high-detail 3D model, detailed animations and
authentic sounds recorded from the real aircraft, the SWS Van's RV-10 looks and sounds like
the real thing. The flight model was created usind flight data from the real aircraft and
tested by RV-10 pilots, ensuring that the performance and feel is as close as Microsoft Flight
Simulator allows.

SWS did a great job here. I love to fly this plane. It seems to have a very nice flight model that behaves in most circumstances and so far I haven’t been able to force any unforgivable maneuvers. It is always easy to keep under control even outside its design envelope.
The RV10 looks fantastic all around with only minor gripes where textures might not be great, but these are few and nothing to get bent out of shape over.
I wish it had a few more liveries and slightly better sounds. Good price though annd better than stock SR22 for sure. Overall it’s a high 4 stars for me.
Solid plane that flies very nicely. Great looks and sounds. Performance numbers seem pretty accurate to the real world information I can find. I have to dock it a star because of the messy way it seems to integrate with avionics mods. Sky4sim might interfere with the PMS50 GTN650 for example, which can also interfere with the main PFD screen - although it's hard to tell. Either way, myself and others on the forums and discord had issues with screens never turning on, and I had to juggle the various community folders before I could get it working. With the addon GTN650, this plane requires around 5 community folder packages to function right. It's ungainly.
But once it was working right, I really enjoy this plane.
Gewohnt gute Qualität von SWS. Sound ist mit vom besten. Flugmodell ebenfalls.
Leider noch einige Texturfehler (Flimmern) denke aber das sich SWS darum kümmern wird.
