Recently, TorqueSim Aircraft Development, a top tier third-party (3rd–party) High–Fidelity X–Plane add-on software developer, released their Britten Norman BN–2T Turbine Islander for X–Plane Eleven (11).
TorqueSim Aircraft Development offers both the Non-Turbine and Turbine versions of the Britten Norman Islander, the BN-2 and the BN-2T, respectively.
The both versions of the Britten Norman BN–2T Turbine Islander cost $34.95 United States Dollars (U.S.D.) and are sold separately.
TorqueSim Aircraft Development and X–Aviation do no offer a discounted combined purchase option to acquire both aircraft in one singular (single) transaction according to their current website sales offerings, as of the time of this writing.
PLEASE NOTE: Previous owners of the non-turbine version, such as this posts’ author, should have been emailed a forty-percent (40%) discount coupon code directly from TorqueSim Aircraft Development. Once this coupon code is applied the cost of the BN–2T is rounded down, in accordance and agreement with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (G.A.A.P.) Principles, Regulations, and Policies as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (F.A.S.B.), to $19.95 U.S.D.
