Visual Accuracy and Quality of Simulation:
Flight One's Golden Eagle is designed with a rendering engine
called g-max. The 421C fuselage and window textures provide
extraordinary realism. As you move, the textures reflect lighting,
terrain and objects in the paint and window areas. The 421C is one
of the most highly detailed aircraft available for Flight Simulator
2004 and is designed in multi-resolution format. The Golden Eagle
steps up to the plate and defines what detail is all about. We dare
say that you will be hard pressed to find another FS model with
this level of detail and accuracy. That's a high claim, but this
package delivers.
Fully Animated
The 421C hosts many animated parts - rolling wheels - working
suspension. Even the gear actuating arms slide in and out of the
cylinders. All control surfaces are animated and the cabin door
opens and folds down the stairs! Even the landing lights and light
beam move as you turn the aircraft whether inside or outside of the
cockpit.
Virtual Cockpit
| Whether you decide to sit in the cockpit or pan around and move to the back you can get a true perspective of what its like to fly or sit back in the cabin and enjoy the flight as you look out the side windows! The 421 Virtual Cabin also contains fully operating gauges, animated yoke and throttle quadrant. Many unique gauges are included such as a Fuel Totalizer, S-Tec 55 Auto-Pilot, etc. The 421C also includes a unique cruise / landing view that can be toggled by clicking on the panel eyebrow allowing cruise and landing segments of the flight to appear more natural and provide a more realistic perspective. |  |

Sky Watch TCAS
Not only does the Golden Eagle come with a Garmin GPS, but you also
get "Sky Watch". Sky Watch is a TCAS style feature that displays
other aircraft in your proximity and warns you when they are in or
near your flight path.
The Engines
Two turbo-charged, fuel injected 6 cylinder GTSIO-520-L 375 hp
Continental engines effortlessly whisk the Golden Eagle to a speed
of nearly 260 knots (faster than some turboprops) and do it with
outstanding fuel efficiency. The Golden Eagles engines and airframe
provide a huge maximum useful load of 2,928 pounds with a maximum
cruise of 243 knots. This equates to excellent mission capability
and a wide variety of passenger / cargo / fuel trip
flexibility.
The Wing
| Bonded to eliminate rivets and minimize drag. The "wet wing" design also allows for huge fuel capability yet simplifies fuel management at the same time. The Golden Eagles wing provides great efficiency for better performance at high speeds and high altitude, plus more stable handling at low speeds during takeoff and landing. The Golden Eagle can operate from a shorter field and climb to altitude faster than many competitive aircraft. This allows you access to more airfields and lets you clear high-density traffic areas faster and get to altitude quicker, where you can fly with greater speed and better fuel efficiency. |  |
Flight Dynamics
The 421's flight dynamics have been carefully modeled with great
accuracy. Validated by a team of experienced 421 pilots, you can be
assured of an exceptionally realistic learning experience.
Sound
The Sounds have been carefully blended and mixed to provide a very
realistic 421 twin sound set. This sound set provides a very
"unique" experience when departing at full throttle in a way that
truly captures what a twin sounds like coming out of the gate.
Configuration Manager
The Configuration Manager allows you to custom load different
weight configurations that effect the performance and handling
characteristics of the Golden Eagle. "Config Manager" also allows
you to modify the cockpit night lighting color, choose either the
pilot or copilot position in the virtual cockpit, select the GPS
display refresh rate for better frame rates, select the default
country so that the GPS waypoint input screen defaults to your
appropriate prefix code on start up and more!
