A High Definition advanced Autogyro Simulation.
The Real-World Tensor 600X is an innovative German two-seat tandem configuration autogyro prototype, designed specifically for urban air mobility, transport and surveillance-efficient missions.
VSKYLABS is one of the few developers specialized in high-end gyroplane simulation engineering. Each model is designed to replicate the unique flight characteristics of the gyroplane, offering a realistic and accessible experience that bridges fixed-wing and rotorcraft flying.
Developing the VSKYLABS 'Test-Pilot': Tensor 600X was one of the most fascinating development efforts carried in the 'labs, back in 2020. It was developed side by side with the early prototype of the real-world Tensor 600X. We say this quite frequently lately...this is what X-Plane was made for.
*The project is expected a major update release later this year (2026). This is part of a VSKYLABS deep-update routine that keeps the flying fleet current and proficient.
Development Notice: The development of the VSKYLABS Tensor 600X Project for X-Plane flight simulator was approved by 'TENSOR AG'. VSKYLABS is developing this addon project independently, with information from 'TENSOR AG' regarding development details of the Tensor 600X.
Tensor 600X Maiden Flight:
Initial development of the VSKYLABS Tensor 600X took place when the early generation prototype of the real Tensor was already flying, yet still under development in terms of on-board systems and final cockpit configuration. Flight dynamics wise, the VSKYLABS Tensor 600X simulates the Tensor early prototype with great precision and close margins, with the focus on gyroplane physics, flight performance, flying and handling characteristics and the core propulsion, rotor and systems simulation.
This project is part of the VSKYLABS 'Test-Pilot' series for X-Plane 12 flight simulator.
