Reality Expansion Pack
For JRollon SIAI-Marchetti SF.260

The most advanced simulation of the SF.260 ever

Fully compatibile with X‑Plane 12, new 3D rain effects included, starting from version 4.7.0 of the Reality Expansion Pack

The SIAI-Marchetti SF.260 is maybe the most famous Italian light aircraft. It’s a great success as a military trainer and aerobatic aircraft. Its nickname is “Ferrari of the sky” for its slick appearance and its high cruise speed.

JRollon Planes and SimCoders.com have joined their forces to bring this little marvel to you.

Now you can fly the SF.260 in X-Plane and enjoy this little but powerful airplane! We put our hearts and souls to build this little machine and we’re sure you’re going to enjoy it so much.

Before flying it, we really recommend reading the User Manual’s “Systems” and “Flight characteristics” chapters.
