Looking for a Cirrus SR22 aircraft for X Plane for IFR training can't find one......

Question

I have found only one so far at http://www.c74.net/xplane/ and although it is close to the real thing it does not resemble the actual avionics in a real Cirrus SR22 G2 Avidyne. Part of good IFR training is consistency and it is hard to accomplish this when the replica isn't the same ad the real thing.

Hi Kenka,

If you don't find what you want online, you could try your hand at making your own in Plane Maker. It comes bundled with X-Plane for free. We have a manual and some documents on the X-Plane Developer site, and the X-Plane.org forum has additional resources and places to ask specific questions. Otherwise you could consider commissioning a custom aircraft, but that takes a lot of time and money.

I haven't seen much on their website either just links from other sources saying it is almost done...see below:

Great. Thanks for that information.

Just an FYI that Carenado's lates SR22 for XPlane does not include the ability to practice instrument approaches, they are not loadable in the avionics....I asked them if they will be adding the ability and so far no reply.

Thanks for that info. Important given that this is probably all the actual SR22 pilots would use it for.
