The SIAI-Marchetti SF.260 is maybe the most famous Italian light aircraft. It's a great success as a military trainer and aerobatics aircraft. Its nickname is 'Ferrari of the skies' 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 Includes all new features from REP 5.0
Code driven flight dynamics
- Super fun to fly, requires your attention all the time
- Realistic takeoff, landing, cruise, and overall performance
- Realistic aerobatics
- Realistic stall behavior (watch your ailerons!)
- Impressive spin behavior
- Realistic roll speed at both high and low speeds
Outstanding 3D model and liveries
- Very light on FPS
- High performance 4K texture
- 9 Liveries included
- Blank textures with PSD available to create your own livery
- Tire blowout is shown
- Propeller blades bend on belly landing
- 3D modeled engine components
- Custom rain and ice effectsThe SF.260 with REP has always been one of the most complete packages in our lineup. Here's a recap of what's included.
Engine & Systems
The engine truly breathes air, mixes it with fuel, and produces power through a physically coherent combustion process. Nothing is scripted or precomputed.
-
Per-cylinder simulation: CHT, EGT, compression, power output, vibrations — all from the model
-
Carbureted O-540 with realistic icing behavior (civilian), or Bendix RSA injected IO-540 (military)
-
Full oil system: viscosity, temperature, filter wear, pump condition
-
Spark plug fouling, engine preheater, vacuum system, and more
-
Every cockpit light has its own load on the alternator — electrical management matters
-
All circuit breakers are fully functional, each controlling the exact system labeled next to it in the cockpit
Avionics
We built our custom avionics to work exactly as described in the real aircraft manuals — not as approximations.
-
Custom Bendix/King KX165A Nav/Com, KR87 ADF, and KFC225 autopilot — all functions implemented
-
Custom Garmin GTX330 transponder with all modes, including altitude monitor, count-up/down timers, OAT/DALT, and flight time
-
GNS430 support, RealityXP GTN650/750 support
-
If an instrument needle gets stuck, you can tap on it with the mouse — just like the real thing. Worn-out avionics can be serviced in the Maintenance Report.
Cockpit & Configuration
-
The SF.260 was designed as a military trainer, so the normal PIC position is the right seat. Our package lets you choose: right seat or left seat, and the instrument panel adapts accordingly.
-
Three cockpit layouts available: Civilian Analog, Military Analog, and Civilian G1000
-
All cockpit lights use custom REP-driven illumination — they can fail and wear over time, each carrying their own electrical load on the alternator
Systems & Procedures
-
The flaps are continuous and can be set to any angle between 0° and 50°. At flight speeds, aerodynamic forces act on the flap surfaces, so the actual deflection is slightly less than the commanded position — exactly as in the real aircraft.
-
Emergency landing gear extension is fully simulated. If the hydraulic system fails, you crank the manual handle located between the seats — about 27 turns — just like the real procedure.
-
Complete walkaround and pre-flight inspection before every flight
Persistence & Wear
-
Full wear and tear across engine, avionics, landing gear, instruments, and more
-
Damage is cumulative and saved between sessions — each livery has its own state
-
Battery discharges in real time, even when X-Plane is closed
