Released October 27 and priced at $69.95, the aircraft is available through the X-Plane.org Store. DeltaWing describes it as a study-level simulation, with an emphasis on aircraft-specific procedures and interconnected systems.
For virtual captains ready to trade high-altitude cruise time for more takeoffs, approaches and propeller noise, there’s a new aircraft waiting on the ramp.
Custom Systems at the Heart of the Project
Ahead of release, DeltaWing highlighted custom engine, electrical, hydraulic and anti-icing models, alongside its own autopilot, MCDU, display logic and system sounds.
The developer also advertised custom weather and terrain radar. Its stated ambition is to make this a substantial step forward in simulation depth for the studio. Those descriptions establish the product’s goals; this release report is not a Sky Blue Radio flight review.
A Modern Regional Flight Deck
The product listing describes a six-screen cockpit with a Thales-style flight management system, dual MCDUs and electronic checklists.
An EFB provides a moving map, flight-plan tools, aircraft settings and ground-service controls. Navigraph Charts integration requires a separate subscription.
That gives pilots plenty to explore before departure—and another reason to read the documentation before confidently pushing buttons.
More Than the Flight Itself
DeltaWing’s package includes ground services, persistent aircraft state, a modeled passenger cabin and ten airline liveries.
The emphasis on turnarounds and persistence should appeal to pilots who enjoy flying several sectors in the same aircraft, carrying the experience beyond a single departure and arrival.
Available for Windows, Mac and Linux
The ATR requires X-Plane 12 and supports Windows, macOS and Linux. The retailer lists a 5.7 GB download and recommends 8 GB or more of VRAM. X-Plane 11 is not supported.
For X-Plane users building a regional airline fleet, DeltaWing’s arrival provides another aircraft to consider for a busy day of shorter sectors.
