Description

Skychaser features an exclusive Extra 330SC stunt aircraft created by established flight simulation developer IRIS Flight Simulation Software, accurately modelled down to the finest details, including a fully functional cockpit with authentic audio captured from a real-life engine.

The aircraft, which is fast and agile and has dominated four real-life World Aerobatic Championships, also features six exclusively designed custom paint schemes, making this a prized addition to your virtual fleet.

Additionally, Skychaser features four nail-biting missions, which will build your aerobatic skills and test them to the max!

Gold Coast Cruisin’

Giving you an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the Extra as you fly from Brisbane, Australia along the Queensland coast before landing at Gold Coast Airport. Put your precision to the test as you manoeuvre through this harrowing trial.

Canyon Challenge

Taking you over the peaks and through the crevasses of Yosemite National Park, you will need to perform high-speed aerobatic manoeuvres down narrow winding valleys, over steep mountaintops and other unpredictable terrain. Expect sudden twists and turns, vertical climbs, and sudden dives on this rollercoaster ride of a course.

Snowdonia

Set amidst the Welsh mountains in the UK, this is a course where you must demonstrate your mastery of the Extra 330SC by clinging to the sides of mountains whilst flying at high speeds, mere feet above the surface of lakes. This mission is unforgiving with a fast and frenetic pace.

Low Level

Starting at Half Moon Bay Airport in San Francisco and flying along the edge of the Pacific Ocean to a landing at Shelter Cove, you will soar over the Golden Gate Bridge and marvel at the spectacular scenery of the Sierra Nevada range. To complete this mission, you must fly the entire course at top speed and under 500ft. Are your low level aerobatic skills up for the challenge?

Don't buy this if you are expecting realistic aerobatic aircraft physics, in flight simulator x that's impossible. Don't buy this if you are a seasoned flight simmer, i found that even the most advanced mission of this

The aircraft model is great, but that's it. These "aerobatic challenges" are simply a leisure flight through some scenic areas. It's actually really relaxing, so if you're looking for something to put you to sleep this

After many years of using the default Extra 330 I fancied a change. So, when I brought FSX steam edition, I decided to buy this add-on in the hope that it will handle better than the default. And, in the most part, it

Take this plane up and you will think the default Extra 300s a thing of the past. I got this aircraft on sale for only four dollars, and it was definitely worth it. If you are looking for a good aerobatic aircraft, I

flies really well, confused what the 3-way switch on the front panel labelled "smoke system" does, I put it to arm, since autostart does that as well. would like more info on what this does though.

It's a really fun plane to fly! However when you are taxing it is rather difficult to control. It could just be that I'm using my keyboard.
