Are you ready for a new adventure in X-Plane 12?
VSKYLABS Skyscenders 76'

EXPERIMENTAL, original Sci-Fi project for X-Plane 12 flight simulator.

**THIS PRODUCT INCLUDES 3 DIFFERENT AIRCRAFT**

MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR X-PLANE 12

Disk Space: 25GB
CPU: Intel Core i3, i5, i7, or i9 CPU with 4 or more cores, or AMD Ryzen 3, 5, 7 or 9.
(Those with other CPUs should try the demo before purchasing.)
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Video Card: a Vulkan 1.3-capable video card from NVIDIA or AMD with at least 2 GB VRAM
Note: Intel GPUs are not supported by X-Plane 12.

DISCLAIMERS - Read before you Buy:

• The VSKYLABS Skyscenders 76' consist of 3 cutting edge fictional aircraft, which are "brought to life" using X-Plane 12 cutting edge physics and flight dynamic model, with the purpose of exploring X-Plane 12 physics, scenery and weather environments.
• All 3 aircraft are fully operational yet still under constant development. Autopilot is not available in version v1.x (due to the nature of the various aircraft, it is not required as well).
• X-Plane 12 stability: One of the aircraft in the package is a hypersonic low-orbit spacecraft. This aircraft can stretch X-Plane 12 flight dynamics and physics capabilities to extremes, sometimes into unknown territory, where no add-on aircraft have been flown before (for example: low orbit trajectories, hypersonic flight and more).
• It is highly recommended not to try and challenge X-Plane 12 with the hypersonic low-orbit spacecraft: Trying to get shot into deep space, or trying to exceed high hypersonic speeds in X-Plane's lower atmosphere may result with unexpected X-Plane 12 behavior, including CTD (Crash To Desktop). PLEASE FOLLOW THE INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS to avoid unexpected behavior of X-Plane 12.

The VSKYLABS Skyscenders 76'

In the new and evolving world of X-Plane 12 (the 'X-Planet'), where hope and curiosity rise from the ashes, a small team of fearless pilots embarks on an extraordinary journey of rediscovering the X-Planet. Welcome to 'Skyscenders 76'!

Meet our intrepid team:
Major Ryan, a skilled aviator with a thirst for adventure, commands the incredible 'Spherescram'. This hybrid jet and rocket aircraft combines speed, power, and versatility, capable of hypersonic, suborbital flights. With the ability to land on both land and sea, the 'Spherescram' is the pinnacle of technological marvel.

Next, we have Captain Lauren, a master of the skies, guiding the mighty 'MachBully'.
This powerful VTOL jet aircraft soars through the heavens, defying gravity, and pushing the limits. Equipped to traverse even the highest thunderstorms, it ascends beyond the edge of the troposphere, venturing into the unknown

And last but not least, Echo. An android pilot takes command of the 'Haboob-X'.
This twin turboprop VTOL aircraft is a true engineering marvel, granting unparalleled maneuverability. From zero speed to mid-subsonic velocities, the 'Haboob-X' effortlessly navigates the deepest canyons and surmounts the most challenging terrain.

Together, this extraordinary team embarks on a mission to explore the reborn X-Planet. Their quest is to understand the mysteries of the planet's atmosphere, terrain, and low orbit environments and physics. They seek to delve into the secrets of this new world, unlocking its wonders.

Join them as they traverse the skies, encountering breathtaking landscapes and unforeseen challenges. Witness their relentless pursuit of knowledge, driven by the unyielding desire to uncover the X-Planet. 

The VSKYLABS Skyscenders 76' takes you on an exhilarating journey where courage, exploration, and the unbreakable human spirit are the guiding forces.

Prepare for the ultimate aerial odyssey!

Brace yourself for Skyscenders 76'!
