Wish come true; a Draco for FSX and Prepar3d!

Mike Patey's Draco. 680HP Pratt & Whitney PT6 turboprop bolted to a highly modified 3000 lb Wilga frame. Custom wings and flaps. Unique fuel storage in the landing gear struts. The ultimate bush plane.

Draco for FSX and Prepar3d by Simon Smeiman. Is this the same man from FSAddon? I think (hope) so...

Nice looking airplane but nothing beyond the teaser video. It's not mentioned on FSAddon so maybe Simon is releasing it on his own? When?

[p14u2nv]

I'm not sure when it will be released other than his son did say just a few days ago that it was still in beta is all I know. Every month or so I have run a search for FSX P3D Draco and that's how I came across what I posted. So it's anyone's guess as to when Falcon.

I did read that the real aircraft had completed STOL within 120 feet in both '18 and this year too in a competition at Oshkosh.

Yep, downloaded it, sadly it is not for FS...

Considering Simon had a heart attack in April, it's very possible that any projects he might have been looking to complete have been shelved for the time being.

Very likely, yes. you need time to recover from something like that..
