MSFS JMB VL3 915iS

The Rotax-powered JMB VL3 915iS brings a four-blade propeller, retractable landing gear and Working Title G3X avionics with integrated autopilot to Microsoft Flight Simulator. The complete aircraft package includes an animated canopy, interactive circuit breakers, detailed cockpit textures, refined exterior modelling, a tuned flight model, aircraft lighting and liveries with registration markings.

Expert Overview

I flew deejing’s JMB VL3 915iS in Microsoft Flight Simulator and found the revised cockpit textures and animated canopy gave the familiar Asobo airframe a welcome touch of character. The package represents the Rotax 915iS configuration with a four-blade propeller, rather than simply offering another paint scheme. I particularly appreciated having the autopilot integrated into the Working Title G3X during my flight.

For me, the useful distinction is that the base aircraft comes included, while the changes extend to the flight model, exterior detailing and interactive circuit breakers. I kept the developer’s performance caveat in mind: this four-blade arrangement is described as slightly slower than the three-blade alternative. Shared engine branding therefore does not imply matching cruise performance across VL3 variants.

Deejing’s freeware JMB VL3 915iS brings a Rotax-powered, four-blade ultralight to the new Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS). This complete aircraft package includes the freeware base model, retractable landing gear, Working Title G3X avionics with autopilot integration, and an animated canopy.

A Rotax 915iS Variation of the Asobo VL3

The JMB VL3 combines a single-engine, low-wing layout with retractable undercarriage—an arrangement that keeps the airframe aerodynamically clean once the gear comes up. For this rendition, deejing builds on Asobo’s VL3 and uses many of its existing simulator assets and textures to represent the Rotax 915iS version with a four-blade propeller.

The four-blade configuration runs slightly slower than the three-blade version, according to the developer. That distinction matters when comparing the aircraft with other VL3 915iS configurations; do not expect identical speed performance simply because they share an engine designation.

Aviation and adventure creator Pilot Frank inspired the project through his real-world flying in and around Germany. He also supplied aircraft information to support development. The result gives sim pilots a way to follow the spirit of his touring and wilderness trips, rather than supplying a separate mission or itinerary package.

G3X Avionics, Cockpit Controls and Exterior Detail

The supplied release, version 1.0.11 dated July 12, 2024, adds the WT G3X [Working Title’s glass-cockpit avionics] and integrates the autopilot into that system. Earlier updates introduced the autopilot itself, corrected avionics issues, and revised cockpit instruments and textures.

  • Cockpit interaction: Circuit breakers, a canopy-opening handle and canopy animation accompany updated interior textures.
  • Propeller presentation: Revisions address both propeller textures and animations for the four-blade installation.
  • Airframe detailing: Successive releases refine the 3D model, while version 1.0.11 corrects UV mapping [the alignment of textures on model surfaces] and adds further texture work.
  • Livery changes: An earlier update adds a new livery; the July 2024 release also adds registration numbers to the blue and red versions.
  • Lighting: The initial published release includes lighting fixes alongside cockpit and flight-model revisions.

Flight Model and Development Credits

Deejing credits the r9r-dev fs2020-vl3-rotax915 team for the underlying flight model and effects. The initial February 2023 release aligned its flight model with that project, and a December 2023 update revised it again. Asobo supplies the original VL3 foundation, while Pilot Frank contributes real-aircraft reference information.

Installing the VL3 915iS

Extract the downloaded archive, then copy the deejing-aircraft-vl3915is folder into your MSFS Community folder. Fly Away Simulation supplies this as a complete freeware aircraft package with the base model included, rather than as a repaint-only download.

How to install this mod

MSFS Complete with Base Model
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Locate your MSFS Community folder

    All MSFS add-ons live in the Community folder. Microsoft Store / Game Pass version: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\. Steam version: %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\. Tip: enable Developer Mode in MSFS to see your exact Community folder path.
  3. Copy the package into Community

    Drag the extracted folder into your Community folder. Most MSFS add-ons follow this pattern.
  4. Restart MSFS

    Close MSFS completely and relaunch. The new content appears in the Content Manager, on the World Map, or in the aircraft/livery selector.
  5. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
