Title edited to correct the vendor’s company name.

Given the level of the developers other aircraft i will be watching for this. Big fan of the P2002.
Any info as to if it will also have a steam gauge option? Not a huge fan of glass cockpits and gprs.
Would much rather dial as I fly.

[GhostlyFrend]

Erm… Alpi Pioneer… with gauges?
I think you should opt for another plane, because, what chimera would you get?
To my view an aircraft should always represent something that has been produced irl.

EDIT: I was wrong and he was right

[Batterby76]

Yes with guages

[GhostlyFrend]

Is that a 400?

[Batterby76]

Yes its a 400 registered in 2017

[GhostlyFrend]

Found it. I wasn’t aware of this configuration. Then it’s a valid question. You can ping the creator if you want.

[Batterby76]

Im sure he will see it, he pops in here now and again.

[erasam]

Actually the version we agreed to develop with Alpi Aviation is the Glass Cockpit version, the most modern and advanced

I’m not sure we will develop a gauge steam version as well (even if I prefer it…)

[erasam]

Hi, you should change the title of this post as the publisher will be OBY1 and not AeroSachs

[erasam]

Alpi Aviation can configure your aircraft as you like so there could be more or less as many cockpit configuration as units sold…

[CasualClick]

But you are developing it, right? The title is accurate if that’s the case.

[GhostlyFrend]

Beta testing is officially underway. Head to Discord for more infos.

[erasam]

I’m the developer but my works are published by AeroSachs (all the Tecnam aircraft I developed) or OBY1 (the EuroflyvTwinfox and this last one)
