Sierra C24R MSFS2024

DESCRIPTION

GENERAL INFORMATION

The C24R Sierra is a single-engine light airplane with retractable landing gear developed and manufactured by American aircraft producer Beechcraft. The low-wing model can seat up to six, including pilot. It was developed to be trainer and a reliable personal cruiser with improved performance over previous models in its lineage.

The C24R Sierra is one of several members of Beechcraft’s Musketeer family. The lineage was born in 1963 with the introduction of the Model 23 Musketeer. The Model 23 was Beech’s initiative to produce an entry-level airplane for personal use as well as for a wide spectrum of training purposes. Several members of the Musketeer line debuted in the following years, including the Super Musketeer and the Sundowner. The C model of the 24R Sierra was certified for operation in 1976.

The Musketeer C24R Sierra is a comfortable cross-country aircraft due to its wide cabin, pilot side door, and extended large rear / cargo door. It features retractable tricycle landing gear (which folds away from the fuselage), a powerful 200-horsepower engine, and constant speed propeller. It is an excellent platform for Complex Endorsement training. One of the attributes pilots of the aircraft frequently note is its great cockpit visibility. This is due to the location of the wing aft of the aircraft’s front seats and a nose-down level flight, granting exceptional field of view.

The Beechcraft Musketeer C24R Sierra measures 25 feet, 9 inches in length, stands 8 feet, 3 inches tall, and has a wingspan of 32 feet, 10 inches. It is powered by a Lycoming IO-360-A1B6 4-cylinder engine that generates up to 200 horsepower. The engine drives a 3-blade, constant-speed propeller that was given a supplemental type certificate for the aircraft.

C24R Sierra has a range of 745 miles, a service ceiling of 15,385 feet above sea level, and it climbs at 927 feet per minute. It cruises at 166 miles per hour and has a do-not-exceed speed of 193 mph. Flight planning allows a higher speed cruise of 135-140 KTAS with 75% power, an economy setting of 125 KTAS with 65% power, or an endurance setting of 115 KTAS with 55% power.

SIMULATION INFORMATION

Welcome to Flysimware’s Sierra C24R Native for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

Flysimware and 3DReach have modeled this vintage aircraft with an emphasis on realism and attention to detail. With help from an aircraft owner, we obtained laser scans, detailed reference photographs, and technical documentation to create an accurate replica with realistic aircraft systems and flight dynamics.

The Sierra C24R has been rebuilt for the native Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 environment, taking advantage of the simulator’s latest aircraft systems, visual effects, and interactive features.

The aircraft includes nine separate panel and avionics variants across three panel types, including updated GNS 530/430 V2 and G3X V2 avionics. STEAM panel configurations also support switching between traditional analog and CGR digital engine gauges directly from the Flysimware EFB.

Flysimware’s TrueSim HSI and ADI gyro system provides custom instrument behavior, while an enhanced dynamic climate control system and optional panel-mounted fuel tank timer with cabin temperature display add further depth to aircraft operation.

The Flysimware tablet is now fully integrated into the default MSFS 2024 EFB in both 2D and 3D. Its expanded features include customizable aircraft key bindings, TrueSim dynamic dirt controls, and complete synchronization of passengers, luggage, and fuel with the simulator’s default payload system.

Native MSFS 2024 pre-flight and walk-around functionality allows pilots to inspect and interact with wheel chocks, tie-downs, covers, engine plugs, and other exterior equipment before flight.

The aircraft features TrueSim dynamic dirt accumulation, windshield and exterior body rain effects, icing, and additional environmental effects. CFD airflow and propeller wash simulation also enhance aircraft behavior and interaction with the surrounding environment.

Whether flying short trips, long cross-country routes, practicing instrument procedures, or enjoying traditional general aviation, the Sierra C24R delivers a detailed and versatile flying experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
