The folks at BlackBox Simulations have just released their latest take on the Britten-Norman Islander for Microsoft Flight Simulator with a new modernized turbine engine variant – the BN-2T. This one comes with some interesting additional equipment so lets have a look!
Ready for missions, passengers
The BN-2 Islander as an aircraft has had a lengthy service life first flying in 1965 and happens to find itself still in production in the modern day. This light utility aircraft has developed into all kinds of different variants and BlackBox Simulations, having done the earlier BN-2B, are now releasing a turboprop variant. This one is particularly interesting as its an aircraft developed with various missionized packages. There are three major variants and six sub variants included in the package that include Civilian, Maritime, Special Mission, Defender Military & Police, Airborne Early Warning ASTOR concept.
There are 24 liveries, a collection of under wing stores that include cameras and search and rescue pods, as well as Garmin GI275 ADI & HSI paired with Garmin GMC 500 Flight director and Autopilot system. The aircraft requires the PMS50 GTN750 in either free or paid variations to work.
The aircraft is available for purchase through the company website for €34.99. It should also eventually make its way to the Marketplace as with the company’s other aircraft.
