Pioneer 400

Fly fast everywhere

A project

developed by

erasam

in collaboration with

The project

The Pioneer 400

for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024

Our brand-new aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator is another tribute to the history of ultralight and general aviation in northeastern Italy, which has contributed to the growth of this categories of aircraft thanks to the passion and innovations of companies like Alpi Aviation, whose Pioneer series has become an icon around the world

That’s why together with the manufacturer we've decided to introduce enthusiasts of the most famous flight simulator to this fast single turbo-engine plane with four seats and incredible features and performance.

And thanks to the support we received from the company, we were able to develop the Pioneer 400 to be as faithful as possible to the real one!

FIDELITY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL APPEARANCE

The 3D model corresponds to the real one, with the possibility of performing the same visual checks. It has the same instrumentation as the original and in the correct position.

FIDELITY TO REAL SYSTEMS

Every instrument, switch, and system (engine, electrical system, avionics, etc.) works exactly as it would in a real aircraft.

FULL PROCEDURAL CAPABILITY

It is possible to follow a real checklist from engine start-up to shutdown.

REALISTIC FLIGHT BEHAVIOR

The flight model reflects the aerodynamic characteristics of the corresponding real aircraft.

ERRORS AND CONSEQUENCES

In the event of errors (e.g., incorrect start-up, poor engine management), the aircraft in the simulator reacts accordingly.

TESTS PERFORMED BY REAL PIONEER AIRCRAFT PILOTS

The tests to verify the aircraft's behavior in flight simulators were carried out by pilots with real experience on this and other aircraft.

We worked closely with beta testers to develop the Pioneer 400 as close to reality as possible

The aircraft was created with the invaluable assistance of pilots of the Pioneer and other ultralight or general aviation aircraft, who thoroughly tested the aircraft's performance and all its features

homefield base

At the foot of the spectacular Alps and Dolomites of Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, lies the AVRO LIKH Airfield, a little gem nestled in an enchanting landscape

Thanks to a partnership with the Lualdi Foundation, the developer erasam has faithfully recreated the airfield, where you can learn to fly the Pioneer 400, explore the surrounding area, or set off on an adventurous journey
