Buy DCS World DCS: Christen Eagle II PC key

DCS: Christen Eagle II adds the Christen Eagle II to DCS World. This aerobatic biplane, designed by Frank Christensen, has been produced in the United States since February 1977. It was originally built to compete with the Pitts Special and became the Aviat Eagle II in the mid-1990s.

Flying the Eagle

You can practise aerobatics solo, fly in close formation, sightsee over the landscape or race down a track. The aircraft can also be used to teach others to fly. Its smoke system makes your stunts visible, while internal and external lights support flying day and night. A simple autopilot levels the aircraft while you step away.

The flight model reproduces characteristics verified by certified aerobatic instructors and subject matter experts. The simulation also models post-stall behavior for maneuvers at and beyond the flight envelope, verified by certified aerobatic instructors.

Aircraft systems

The Eagle includes a modeled IO-360 Lycoming 200HP engine, fuel, electrical and pneumatic systems, as well as a working Bendix/King KY-196B VHF radio. Most cockpit controls can be operated with the mouse, and the aircraft's sounds were recorded from the real plane. Its detailed interior and exterior models were created using photogrammetry of the aircraft.

Training and multiplayer

Interactive voice-over training missions teach you to start up, taxi, take off and land. In cooperative multiplayer, you can fly with a friend in the same aircraft or take turns as instructor, student or passenger. You can also change the seat position in single-player mode.

Liveries

The aircraft includes multiple liveries, from OEM schemes to custom designs based on real-life personal aircraft.
