Overview
Craig Richardson and Pam Brooker's Edgley Optica is a native FSX/Prepar3D model updated by Bob Chicilo. The October 2020 fix resolves the loading crash in Prepar3D v4 and v5, with assistance from TruNorth Simulations.
The July 2020 revision adds a 2D panel based on a virtual-cockpit image, radio windows and a HUD. Contact points, wheels, GPS size and position, and flight dynamics were also adjusted.
John Edgley's aircraft has an extensively glazed cabin seating three abreast. A Lycoming flat-six drives a five-bladed ducted fan behind it. The metal airframe combines straight wings, a twin-boom tail and fixed tricycle gear with the nosewheel offset to the left.
