ATTENTION!

Please be advised that there are two different products each with a different set of features. This page describes the features of the Vega for P3D/FSX. If instead you're interested in the upcoming Vega for MSFS, please click the button:

EARLY ACCESS WARNING!

Please note that the Wing42 Vega for P3D/FSX is STILL in Early Access. This means, that The add-on is not finished and not all planned features have been implemented yet.

Also be advised that this aircraft has been in Early Access for a looong time and development has somewhat moved to MSFS.

All that said, we believe that with the Vega in its current state, you get a functional aircraft with a plethora of features that are well worth their money as it is! And while, yes, at the moment we need to focus most of our time on everything MSFS, we will finish the development of the Vega eventually!

With all this out of the way, please read below what the Vega for P3D/FSX has to offer as of right now.

Powered by Prop-o-Tronic!

Prop-o-Tronic logo

For the P3D/FSX Vega, we developed an extensive library of algorithms that are used to simulate the various physical systems, environments and states of the aircraft. This physics engine was named "Prop-o-Tronic" and is part of the add-on package.

What does it do?

The engine is still in development, but many parts of the module are already fully implemented, such as:

  • Electrical simulation
    The module includes algorithms to calculate the voltages and currents of any given DC mesh. It utilises the Millman theorem and Ohms law to perform real-time calculations.
  • Fluid dynamics
    Prop-o-Tronic can perform calculations of fluid dynamics in multi-node meshes. It calculates flow rates, kinematic viscosities and resulting pressures using the work of Darcy-Weisenbach, Reynolds, Pascal and others.
  • Thermodynamics
    The physics engine can calculate the heat exchange of two bodies or mediums through three different methods: conduction, convection and radiation.
  • Motion dynamics
    Motion is calculated using Newtonian physics and its differential equations.

The diagram on the right outlines the way the Prop-o-Tronic physics engine can interact with flight simulator using both, the standard (gauge) interface and simConnect for the data exchange.

Meet your crew!

The Wing42 Vega was the first aircraft to feature a fully interactive, lively, ground crew. The dialog interface we implemented allows for natural interactions between you, as the pilot, and your virtual ramp agent. Find out who you’re talking with and how it works!

Heinrich, the Ramp Agent

Meet Heinrich

As a young man, Heinrich Adler left his hometown in Germany to escape the devastating effects of WWI. He immigrated to the United States and due to his keen interest in aviation, sought out a job as a “rampie”. He’s eagerly saving up money, hoping to eventually take flying lessons and jump into the cockpit of a Lockheed!

The Interaction

You can initiate communication with Heinrich using the "Talk to your ramp agent" button on the side-bar on the left side of your screen. From there, you can advise him to install or uninstall the various ground equipment that comes with the aircraft. Such as wheel chocks, pitot tube covers, external battery, passenger stairs, etc. Heinrich will respond to your instructions audibly and start working on the task(s) you give him. Once the job is done, he'll let you know as well. The aim of this feature is to improve immersion and realism for our add-ons. We're trying to make the experience more personal, by adding face and voice to crew members.
