FSX Martini Patrol Pilatus PC-9A

Created to infuse a distinctive flair into Microsoft Flight Simulator X, this freeware repaint depicts the Pilatus PC-9A donned in a Martini Patrol theme. Developed originally by Iris Simulations (payware model required for use), this livery has been meticulously prepared by Martial Feron and offers an energetic twist on an already popular Swiss-made turboprop trainer.

Swiss-Born Turboprop Character

Introduced by Pilatus Aircraft in Switzerland, the PC-9A is widely recognized for its smooth performance envelope and reliable handling. It features a single-engine turboprop layout that many air forces around the globe have relied on for pilot instruction. This Martini Patrol rework stands out through its vivid exterior design, merging a stylish color scheme with the PC-9’s uniquely contoured airframe. Because the model was purpose-built for Iris Simulations’ payware variant, pilots can expect intricate cockpit instrumentation, faithful flight dynamics, and crisp detailing throughout the aircraft’s surfaces.
