Designed to be a highly accurate recreation of the SF260, the package features a detailed 3D model with 4K textures and nine liveries. A blank template for creating custom paint jobs is also included.

Other highlights include code-driven flight dynamics with realistic take-off, landing and cruise performance. Aerobatics have also been modelled with authentic stall and spins. The Reality Expansion Pack (REP) from SimCoders is also part of the package, which introduces realistic systems modelling and adds aircraft persistence, with each livery having its own state that is saved between flights with cumulative damage. A maintenance report can be used to check the status of the aircraft and perform maintenance and repairs.

The Lycoming O-540-E4A5 is modelled down to the smallest bolt with an accurate fuel and oil system, so it is possible to experience spark plug fouling or carburettor icing.

Wear and tear also extends to the cockpit, which means instruments can fail and may give incorrect readings, light and indicator bulbs may start blinking and fail and the phosphorous lights will dim at night as time passes. A full set of working circuit breakers is also included, so in case of generator failure, you can use them to shed the battery load. Other features include 3D audio effects for the engine and systems in both internal and external view. The sounds are muffled by closing the canopy and wearing the headsets. The package is Virtual Reality (VR)-compatible and is designed to be light on frame rates.

The SIAI-Marchetti SF-260 is available on www.x-plane.org for $44.95 (£35 approx).

SIAI-Marchetti was an Italianaircraft manufacturer.

History[edit]

The original company was founded during 1915 as SIAI (Società Idrovolanti Alta Italia - Seaplane company of Northern Italy). As suggested by its name, the firm initially specialised in the manufacture of seaplanes, the vast majority of which were intended for the Italian armed forces. Perhaps its most prominent early aircraft was the SIAI S.16, a seaplane that had been configured to perform both aerial reconnaissance and bomber roles, but also proved itself quite capable of long distance flights. During 1925, the Italian aviator Francesco de Pinedo of the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Royal Air Force) used an SIAI S.16ter he named Genariello for a record-setting flight from Rome to Australia and Tokyo in order to demonstrate his idea that seaplanes were superior to landplanes for long-distance flights. Having departed Rome on 21 April, Pinedo and his mechanic, Ernesto Campanelli, performed visited dozens of countries, often stopping for multiple weeks at a time, particularly in Australia, before successfully arriving in Tokyo on 26 September 1925.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Shortly following the end of the First World War, the company was rebranded as Savoia following its acquisition of the Società Anonima Costruzioni Aeronautiche Savoia, an Italian aircraft company founded by Umberto Savoia in 1915. The name Marchetti was added to the company's name shortly following the recruitment of its long-serving chief designer, Alessandro Marchetti, during 1922.

Savoia-Marchetti gained prominence with the innovative S.55flying boat. During 1926, the S.55P prototype successfully established 14 separate world records in categories including speed, altitude and distance with a payload.^[4] Production models were produced for both civilian and military export customers; numerous S.55s saw use during the Second World War as well as for a number of years beyond the conflict, despite the arrival of many newer types.^[5]^[6]

Savoia-Marchetti became relatively well known for its flying boats and seaplanes, aided by the numerous endurance and speed records that had been set by its products. The company earned the favour of numerous Italian officials, including Air Marshal Italo Balbo.^{[citation needed]} Accordingly, the company was involved in the rapid development and prototyping of a wide portfolio of aircraft types during the 1930s. One such aircraft was the SM.75trimotormonoplane transport aircraft, which was developed in response to an enquiry by the Italian airlineAla Littoria for a modern, middle-to-long-range airliner and cargo aircraft; it featured an early implementation of retractable main landing gear and was capable of long range missions, such as transporting up to 24 passengers over a 1,000 mile distance.^[7]^[8] Another was the SM.81 Pipistrello, which became the first three-enginebomber/transport aircraft to be adopted by the ItalianRegia Aeronautica;^[9] furthermore, it would be one of the most flexible, reliable and important aircraft operated by the service through the Second World War, transitioning from a front-line bomber to various second-line duties towards the conflict's latter years.^[10]^[11]

The company became increasingly focused on the construction of military aircraft during the lead-up to, and throughout the majority of, the Second World War. In particular, the SM.79 Sparviero trimotor Italian medium bomber that has been claimed by aviation authors Enzo Angelucci and Paolo Matricardi as being the best-known Italian aeroplane of the conflict.^[12] Performing its first flight on 28 September 1934, early examples of the type established 26 separate world records between 1937 and 1939, qualifying the SM.79 for some time as being the fastest medium bomber in the world.^[13] It was operated in various capacities during the Second World War, initially focusing on its transport and medium bomber duties.^[12] The SM.79 was developed into an effective torpedo bomber, in which capacity it achieved numerous successes against Allied shipping in the Mediterranean theater.^[14]

During 1943, the company was rebranded as SIAI-Marchetti. As the conflict turned in favour of the Allies, the company's manufacturing facilities were a particularly high priority target for enemy bombers, leading to their virtual destruction by the final months of the Second World War. The firm continued to make efforts to design and produce new aircraft, such as the SM-93dive bomber during 1944, but the economic consequences of the costly war made such ambitions unrealistic at best.^[15]

During the immediate postwar era, SIAI-Marchetti endeavoured to survive within the commercially inhospitable climate by diversifying into the manufacture of various items of railway equipment and trucks.^{[citation n}
