FSX Robin DR400-140B D-EMTF

This freeware repaint for the Aerosoft Robin DR 400 X introduces a fictional German registration, D-EMTF, created by Dirk Hueschelrath. It is designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and requires the payware base model by Aerosoft, which is not included.

Livery Characteristics and Unique Markings

Fictitious Registration: This repaint carries the stylized German tail number D-EMTF. While it does not represent a real-world counterpart, it blends seamlessly with the Aerosoft DR 400 X to offer an authentic look.
Color Scheme: The textures showcase carefully detailed surfaces, capturing the Robin DR 400’s construction style. The real-life DR 400 series is well-known for its wooden airframe and distinctive dihedral wing layout.

Aircraft Background

The Robin DR 400 line—a four-seat, single-engine development—first appeared under Avions Pierre Robin, later appreciated by numerous flying clubs across Europe. Its comparatively low operating costs and user-friendly flight dynamics made it a reliable choice for flight training and recreational trips. This specific DR400-140B variant retains the classic low-wing configuration, offering steady performance for visually oriented operations and cross-country journeys.

Payware Base Model Requirement

This repaint does not include the payware aircraft itself. Prospective users should already own the Aerosoft Robin DR 400 X model. If you require the original payware package, it can usually be found at outlets such as our own payware store for purchase.
