Back in January, TorqueSim and RealSimGear announced their partnership in the development of the SR22 G3 GTS. The aircraft is set to be a study level product that accurately reflects the characteristics of its real life counterpart.

This week, the developers of TorqueSim have provided Threshold with new exclusive previews of their SR22. The screenshots showcase the cockpit instruments, the cabin interiors, and the fuselage.

The final product will feature a modified Laminar Research G1000 that contains:

  • Synthetic Vision (using Saso Kiselkov’s Synthetic Vision, as implemented in HotStart’s TBM900 and TorqueSim’s Pocket Rocket)
  • Custom engine page and engine sidebar
  • Lean-assist functionality
  • Checklists
  • Top-bar customizations (% Power, Distance, etc)
  • Custom boot sequence including “Know Your Limits” and fuel adjustments
  • Designed to interface with RealSimGear’s G1000 hardware, especially their G1000 Perspective Package

Additionally, the aircraft will include:

  • High-fidelity flight model created by Austin Meyer of Laminar Research
  • Insanely detailed 3D model
  • Full PBR 4K Texturing
  • Highly immersive custom captured FMOD
  • Custom Tail-Number configuration utility
  • Persistent systems
  • Fully custom C++ plugin using the X-Plane SDK for maximum performance
  • Dual-battery and dual-alternator simulated
  • All 11 electrical busses individually simulated
  • All 48 circuit breakers functional
  • Maintenance and Failure Model

Though the final release date of the SR22 is still undisclosed, the developers have indicated that work on the Cirrus is wrapping up.
