Tecnam P92 Echo (ROTAX 912UL 80Hp engine)
The Tecnam P92 Echo is a twin seat Italian aircraft, made by Tecnam based in Capua and sold in several countries of the world. It is single engine aircraft with a strut-braced rectangular high wing, fixed main landing gear and steerable nose wheel
More info can be found at link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tecnam_P92
The model has a fully animated realistic 3D cockpit (with some gauges taken from standard airplanes) for ultralight version (airspeed in Km/h and RPM for engine), animated central steering gear and opening doors (clicking on the lever). A fully working Breakers panel is also available
The GPS Aera 510 is shown by default but it can be switched with the GTN750 (if installed) with autopilot enabled features (only for Premium version)
Three hotspot screws (in the center of the cockpit) can be used to hide the co-pilot, the VOR gauge and the glass cockpit, the fourth is used to switch between the GPS Aera 510 and the GTN750 (https://pms50.com/msfs/). Another hotspot screw is below the Panel light switch to cycle between different gauge lighting levels
A fully interactive checklist, developed following the official manual (version October ‘98) included in the package, is also available
It comes with three liveries, one basic white and another with the Genoa Football Club official colors and I-GEFC registration number (both are also available in the Painkit folder as a base for custom liveries development), the last one called “Africa” (credits to donfanucci)

The plane is totally unresponsive to flight rudders and joystick inputs! What could the problem be? How to solve it?

After the release of the payware version, the old GA got removed and we are left with a old ULM version. The handling and flight model is good but the rest has major room for improvement. The outside model is not really very detailed but the interior model is worse, with a low poly pointy canopy that can be seen on the inside and various weird effects on the panel. This began as a very good freeware but diverted as a money grabbing payware...

Hi, the freeware version is still there as I just removed the GA version having only two different gauges (but the same exterior and interior characteristics). Anyway I don't understand why you say the freeware was very good and at the same time your comment is so bad. Moreover I had sponsors really supporting it and I should thank them helping me to continue to improve its quality

Non sto più riuscendo ad utilizzarlo
L'ho aggiornato oggi dopo un pò di tempo che non lo usavo, ed ho un problema all'accensione
se non metto la manetta la massimo, l'aereo non parte, ed una volta che accendo il motore(con la manetta la massimo) l'aereo rimane al minimo e non posso accelerare; se abbasso la manetta si spegne
Sto sbagliando qualcosa io?
10 months ago
Molto strano, non ho ricevuto nessuna segnalazione al riguardo e io lo uso senza problemi. Inoltre non ho effettuato modifiche tali nelle ultime release da giustificare un problema del genere. Puoi controllare di non avere delle periferiche che in qualche modo interferiscono con il controllo della manetta ?

Great plane. Very nice. Any way to eliminate the co-pilot so I can see out of the right window?
Thanks! Oh. I figured it out.

Hi, thanks for your comment. There are (as you have figured out) hotspot screws (below the transponder) that can be used to hide the copilot, the VOR1 gauge and the glass cockpit effect

Sorry, but I just watched AvAngel's YouTube review of the payware version (EUR 24 on Simmarket!!), and I was shocked to see that almost nothing has been added, to justify the very high price. The only real noticible thing being the 100hp engine (which is only one 2 second change in the engines.cfg file!). I've gone from having huge respect for you for releasing this place as freeware, to feeling that - with your partnership with Aerosachs - the payware version represents really poor value for money. The textures are good for freeware. For payware, they are nowhere near up to standard. It's using default sounds, has no tablet or configuration device. There are no sounds when opening the doors, etc, etc. It just is not payware quality - especially not at 24 Euros! What a sell out.

Hi, it's a pity you should not consider it worthwhile for the purchase. If you prefer to stay with the freeware version (that obvioulsy will not benefit of future updates) you can defintely do that, I'm just curious to know if you ever considered to make a donation to have this project continue to be free

Hi - What is the difference between this (freeware) version, and the (payware) version you have just released on Simmarket, via Aerosachs, for EUR 20?

Hi. I copied the Echo to the \community directory but I can't see the plane in MSFS2020. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Did you unzip it or you copied in the community folder the zipped file ?

Congrats and well done on a great recreation of the P92. I fly one IRL and this is very close to that aircraft in performance and handling. I have even suggested to some of my students to use it to practice prior to our training flights to learn the basics which makes time in the air much more effective and efficient for them. Definitely worth a donation.

Ciao, ho scaricato la nuova versione ma non trovo più il modo di avere l'anemometro in Kts e i giri dell'elica... come posso fare a riaverli?
11 months ago
Ciao. Come ho indicato nelle release note la versione freeware sarà dedicata alla versione Ultralight (Anemometro in KM e RPM del motore) mentre per avere la nuova variante Classic General Aviation bisognerà fare una donazione di almeno 15€
