I have just bought the Eurofox from the X-Plane org store and it only contains the tundra tyre version.
How do I obtain the other two?

The EuroFOX package is having all 3 variants under a single folder. Simply go to X-Plane aircraft selection window and you will be able to see and choose all 3 variants. Let me know if you are still need my assistance! Thanks!  |

Silly me - I'm new to XP11 but I've got it figured now thanks!
Nice product btw but the engine sounds aren't right.
IRL I've got 300 hours flying aircraft powered by Rotax 100hp engines and they don't sound anything like the one you've modelled.
Of course, it's conceivable there's something wrong with my sound system but I don't think so.
Where did you get your sounds from?

Hi! Thanks! Sounds are actual recordings of a Rotax 912 engine (inside and outside of an aircraft, in-flight as well). However, it was deeply manipulated while trying to get into a certain "feel". This "feel" is also a matter of taste, of course. btw there is a plan to update the sound package for the EuroFOX project in one of the upcoming updates. Thanks again! |

Have to say sounds are not to my taste but each to his own as they say.
Would much prefer unadorned Rotax sounds for the sake of reality.
The best Rotax sounds that I've encountered have been on Ant's Tecnam Sierra on FSX/P3D.
The other thing that would be good to model is the unique way in which the Rotax starts and stops.
When you start it, it kind of jerks and shudders into life with a fair bit of vibration.
And it stops very abruptly, once again with a bit of a shudder and vibration.
In these respects it's unlike any other aero engine that I've had experience with.
I've never flown a Eurofox irl but from my experience of flying light sport aircraft such as Tecnams it seems to have an unrealistically high rate of climb.
It also feels far too mushy in the landing phase with poor directional control.
Two other things I would like to see modelled are some realistic sound effects on touchdown and the option of an airspeed indicator calibrated in knots - mph or kmh doesn't cut it in my part of the world!
I say all of these things because I think you've produced a great little model but it could be so much better with a bit more tweaking.
A reality expansion pack along the lines of those available for some other XP11 aircraft would be a really good idea and I'm sure a lot of folk like myself would be willing to pay for it.
