Gabriel BK160-TR
We (Flying Fries) just released our latest add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020 and 2024). The amazing, sleek and very light modern GA trainer: The Gabriel.
It looks like a powerful and fast turboprop trainer, but that’s the trick! It’s a more modest piston aircraft with a 160HP, 4 cylinder Lycoming io-320 engine (yes, injected, because it’s modern). All carbon fiber body, excellent aerodynamics, Garmin glass cockpit (G3X Touch + G5) incredible canopy and tandem seating to give the student situational awareness on both sides.
And you can fly it from any seat and weight configuration (you’d have to be much more careful with two people on board, as the weight CG will be closer to the trailing edge of the wing).
Fully compatible with FS2020 and FS2024.
Available right now on flightsim.to: https://flightsim.to/product/gabriel-bk160-tr and MSFS 2020 Marketplace. It will also arrive on the FS2024 Marketplace in a few days.
There are already some reviews online, by well known streamers and YouTubers, and you can find all the links, details and resources (including the very detailed user manual, right here: Gabriél BK160-TR )
Lastly, group flights with our Discord community are being prepared and we will share them on this forum as well!
See you soon in the skies.
