A fast agile
aerobatic sports
plane AND a stable
IFR platform to
boot!
The Italian
SIAI-Marchetti SF260
is capable of
rolling at 120
degrees per second
at high speed or
looping at up to +6G
with this Flight
Simulator creation
boasting the
legendary RealAir
flight dynamics with
accurate slipping,
aerobatics, stall
and spin
characteristics.
Practice aerobatics
or take her away for
a long weekend.
However you fly, you
are guaranteed to
have more fun than
you ever thought
possible in the
virtual sky.
Developed from the
ground up for FSX
When RealAir first
released the SF260,
it broke new ground
in terms of flight
modeling and
handling
characteristics in
Microsoft Flight
Simulator.
This brand new
edition for Flight
Simulator X, still
sets the benchmark
for flight dynamics
AND has been
developed from
scratch to take
advantage of some of
the exciting
improvements FSX
offers simmers.
Some of the new
features in the FSX
edition of the SF260
are:
Completely new
Virtual Cockpit
with separate panels
layouts for left and
right seats
New truly 3D
gauges that have
depth and realism,
and silky smooth
movement
Choice of 9
different paint
schemes with the
ability to fly each
from the rght or
left seat each
Convenient quick
panel zooms so you
can effortlessly
zoom in on Radios,
IFR instruments and
controls
New super-smooth
radio tuning
innovation using
simple left/right
click and drag mouse
operation
Bump mapped
textures on wings
which show fantastic
detail from the
cockpit looking out
to the wing
Improved spin and
recovery
characteristics....the
spin now continues
with stick centered
Enhanced stereo
sounds that take
advantage of FSX's
sound engine
New enhanced smoke
effect, improved
gauge backlight at
night and improved
Virtual Cockpit
interior graphics
PLUS the great
effects and details
in both FS2004 and
FSX versions:
Visible and
audible pre and post
stall buffeting
Realistic engine
torque effects
Crystal clear
Virtual Cockpit
gauges with
perfectly smooth
movement
All Virtual
Cockpit switches and
levers can be
clicked on and
manipulated
including pitch
trim, parking brake
and fuel selector
and cut-off
A magnetic compass
that moves more
realistically than
ever before,
appearing to be
suspended in liquid
A pilot whose head
always looks in the
direction of flight
hell also scan
the sky, keeping an
eye out for traffic

The challenge when
designing this
aircraft was not
only to create an
aerobatic, lively
and highly
entertaining
machine, but to also
make sure this SF260
was completely
smooth, controllable
and able to cruise
superbly well
The developers,
RealAir have gone to
much trouble to
ensure that this
aircraft is not only
light to the touch
and great fun to
fly, just like the
real SF260, but also
capable of great
finesse and
subtlety.
You will find the
controls very
responsive, but at
the same time
allowing a very fine
degree of control to
be applied to all
stages of flight.
You can set a
precise climb speed
with trim, and this
aircraft will hold
that speed exactly,
from 100 to 12,000
ft or so.
Conversely, this
aircraft is also
capable of rolling
at 120 degrees per
second at high
speed, and looping
at up to 6 positive
G.
Spinning is one of
the most satisfying
manoeuvres, and
RealAir are rightly
very proud to have
made an aircraft
with the capability
of spinning
properly. To us,
this means the
aircraft must be
able to autorotate,
without increasing
airspeed, by
stalling then
applying full
rudder.
Apart from
aerobatics, the
SF260 is capable of
cruising at up to
182 KT on its
single, naturally
aspirated Lycoming
IO-540, climbing at
up to 1,800 FPM,
while also providing
a highly stable and
controllable
platform during all
phases of IFR
flight. The SF.260
has been so
successful at
fulfilling the above
criteria, that it is
now being used in
the flight-training
role.
The boxed edition
includes both the
Flight Simulator
2004 and Flight
Simulator X versions
of the software, a
great printed manual
and printed
checklist cards for
both normal and
emergency
procedures.
