| Documented highlights | Arrange an Islander cockpit and cabin around the missionThranda’s XP12 BN-2A offers a movable instrument panel with five presets, optional RealityXP integration and instruments that can open in separate windows. Individual seats can be hidden to make space for visible cargo. The loading menu also controls the optional belly pod and saves configurations. Adjust equipment and explore the electrical panelThe developer lists functional circuit breakers, optional de-icing equipment, bubble windows and tundra tyres. Its DynaFeel settings adjust simulated control response with speed. The listing describes DynaFeel as a software control-response setting, without documenting force-feedback hardware support. | TorqueSim offers piston and turbine IslandersTorqueSim describes separate BN-2B and BN-2T packages, respectively using Lycoming piston engines and Allison 250 turboprops, with X-Plane 12 support. Its published feature list includes custom fuel and electrical systems, individual breakers, persistent switches and a load manager. A conventional radio panel with optional integrationsThe Islander’s listed avionics include a KFC 225 autopilot, GTX 345 transponder and KR 87 ADF. X-Plane’s GNS units are supplied, while RealityXP navigators and the AFM G5 require their separate products.
