REQUIREMENTS & INSTALLATION
The Aerobask Eclipse 550 NG requires X-Plane 11.20
(64-bit) and higher. FLY THE AIRCRAFT WITH
Read the included document ‘’Install Recommended X-PLANE 11
Settings.pdf’’ for help to the install.
The Eclipse NG requires GNS430 datas from
Navigraph or Aerosoft to be installed into X-Plane
11 ‘Custom data’ folder.
Read the F.A.Q for more information page 17.
Performance Optimization
This product has been optimized for good performance.
However, the aircraft uses several high definition liveries
(4096 px) for a high graphical quality and complex
custom programming for the avionics. We recommend at
least 4 GB of VRAM.
In case of low FPS, you can reduce graphic options in
the main program (esp. switching off HDR, reducing anti
aliasing, lowering the drawing distance etc.) If you use AI
planes, select only simple aircraft without 3D cockpit and
without plug-ins.
Custom Commands
The Eclipse 550 NG features complex avionics. To make
operation of the avionics easier for various kinds of
hardware setups, we have a lot of custom commands
which you can assign to buttons or keyboard. Some
available custom commands are shown on the right;
more are available.
Please refer to the X-Plane manual for information on
how to setup buttons and keys in X-Plane and how to
assign custom commands to them.
