Introduced to the world in 2017, the Gabriel is the new generation of GA trainers. It features the most modern and advanced Garmin avionics, powered by an efficient Lycoming io-320 producing 160hp, all of this in a carbon fiber airframe extremely well designed and inherited from the ultralight world.

Here are some numbers:

• Max rated altitude: 11,500 feet
• Cruising altitude: 8,500 feet
• Cruise speed: 150 knots
• Range: 400 NM
• Endurance: 2.5 hours

The Gabriel is the second aircraft designed and manufactured by a young Italian company founded in 2009 called Blackshape. As for this virtual replica, it's the third product of an even younger French company called Flying Fries.

We spent more than a year modeling, texturing, and bringing this add-on to life before we could finally and proudly present it to you. The flight model has been carefully tuned to the specifications of the real aircraft. And with the various options built into this Gabriel, the practicality of the full Garmin suite, the unobstructed view provided by the bubble canopy, the immersion generated by the custom and dynamic sounds, and the pure beauty of some stunning and sharp liveries, there is no doubt that your GA flights will take on a whole new dimension.

Here is a list of its main features:

• Highly detailed 3D modeling and 4K texturing.
• Custom sound pack created specifically for the Gabriel.
• Modern engine/propeller simulation and modern fuel system.
• Complex electrical system with working circuit breakers.
• Multiple custom pilot/passengers that can be selected from the EFB.
• Failure system including broken propeller and canopy.
• Fly with or without engine covers... And get a close look at the Lycoming IO-320.
• Multiple payload configurations: fly from the front or rear seat, with or without a passenger.
• Uses the MSFS/Working Title native Garmin avionics and autopilot suite.
• Aircraft configuration and fueling via the EFB (no need for the fuel and payload menu or the FS2024 EFB).
• Engine and ground roll vibration effects in the cockpit.
• Interactive exterior static elements (remove the chocks, pitot covers and access stairs manually if you wish).
• All custom visual effects (various engine smoke, heat blur, dust and rain spray, etc.)
• 10 unique liveries. Some of them are based on their real counterparts.
• 5 LODs for optimized multiplayer performance.
• Lots of easter eggs to find!
