The Bulldog Autogyro was a one off, It's unknown if the prototype flew but flight testing was supposed to have happened around July 2015. It was publicly introduced at the AERO Friedrichshafen airshow in 2015. The designers did an amazing job at creating a modern Autogyro with a classic look, mainly made from carbon fibre the Bullldog is light and comes into the Ultralight category. The Bulldog features a single main rotor, a two-seats-in tandem open cockpit with two windshields, conventional landing gear and a nine-cylinder, air-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 150 hp (112 kW) Rotec R3600 radial engine in tractor configuration. The aircraft fuselage is made from composite materials.
After its retirement from the French military service in 2022 and more than 1. 000. 000 flight hours combined, it is time for the Transall to live a second life in Flight Simulator 2020!It accomplished thousands of missions, flew above hundreds of countries and has been involved in numerous humanitarian missions. We just wanted to salute this Franco-German aviation emblem. The development has been conducted along with real pilots and true Transall connoisseurs. A big thanks to the "Musée... After its retirement from the French military service in 2022 and more than 1. 000. 000 flight hours combined, it is time for the Transall to live a second life in Flight Simulator 2020!It accomplished thousands of missions, flew above hundreds of countries and has been involved in numerous humanitarian missions. We just wanted to salute this Franco-German aviation emblem. The development has been conducted along with real pilots and true Transall connoisseurs. A big thanks to the "Musée Européen de l'Aviation de Chasse" in Montélimar, France, that provided access to a retired French C-160R. By inspecting it in every details, we have been able to reproduce an accurate version of the aircraft. We have put a lot of effort to improve even more our quality standards compared to our previous products. The great complexity of the aircraft and its military-designed systems forced us to adapt our development processes accordingly. Hence, our Transall includes a big amount of bespoke systems and does not re-use existing generic avionics from the simulator.

Please note that our work is based on the C160 NG/R version which is the most modern one to have been operated in French Air Force. All liveries - including other armies - feature the same cockpit and cargo bay but external models have been adapted for each livery. Please have a look at the manual on our website to see all implemented features and current aircraft limitations. Always aware of the room for improvement, periodic updates are already planned to improve the several systems based on the feedback, do not hesitate to contact us.
