The Cobalt Co50 Valkyrie is a four-place aircraft currently undergoing certification by Cobalt Aircraft. It is designed specifically for short to medium length trips. The all-composite aircraft incorporates a canard and split vertical stabilizers in the design, and a pusher engine configuration with retractable landing gear. Introduced in 2010, it's first flight was in September 2012. Features animated parts, virtual cockpit with illuminated glass gauges and 2D panel. By Mark J. S. Macaluso.

The Co50 is not yet in production so design changes are a probability. The Cobalt Co50 also utilizes the SmartDeck avionics suite. To my knowledge FSX does not have the ability to recreate all of the data used in the SmartDeck so I took some liberties in the panel and aircraft design. Example: based on the GMax model, I could not figure out how the passengers got in and out the back seats so I added back doors accessed with [Shift]-[F2].

I'd like to add a small comment to my previous message... sorry for the trouble...
EDIT
Its performance seems much less than what the technical data of the real aircraft advertises, which e.g. states a take-off obstacle clearance of 1,900ft - in line with what you might expect of such an aircraft.
I've therefore upped the power to
550bhpin theaircraft.cfgfile and set the elevator effectiveness at2i.s.o.0.8. The result is an aircraft that's much more enjoyable to fly and easier (and probably more realistic) to take off and land.Cool plane! It flies like a Jumbo, but still it's great fun. A bit more power would be appreciated. About the initial pilot's position, you can easily move into the pilot's seat with
CTRL+BCKSP.One problem though... How can you adjust the Nav bearing? You can change heading, but selecting a VOR bearing seems impossible... :-(
This plane flies like its a brick. It took me 5000 feet to take off and it was almost impossible to land. The VC is there but you are seated behind the pilots seat so you can't see the gauges very well. The VC also doesn't have a working yoke other switches/buttons. It looks like a cool plane but its obvious that someone should have taken a little more time on the aircraft.
it says visual model could not be displayed,,I NEED HELP
