North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco
The North American Aviation Rockwell OV-10 Bronco is a turboprop light attack and observation aircraft. It was developed in the 1960s as a special aircraft for counter-insurgency (COIN) combat, and one of its primary missions was as a forward air control (FAC) aircraft. It can carry up to three tons of external munitions, and loiter for three or more hours.
STMA presents an update to its popular v8 OV-10A model for XP v 9.70 and v10.04r3+. -
Sherpa K650T Turboprop
The turbine Sherpa (K650T) is our newest addition to the bush plane lineup. This amazing aircraft was designed and built by Byron Root and Glen Gordon and is now undergoing the arduous phases of certification. We tapped the Sherpa information sources and developed a set of models that closely follow the turbine Sherpa’s performance. It is impressive! With a proprietary airfoil and flap design, 3500 pound empty weight, 840 horsepower turning 110 inches of three-blade prop you know it has to be good. -
de Havilland DHC-3 Turbo Otter
The de Havilland DHC-3 Otter is a single-engined, high wing, propeller-driven, STOL aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada. It was conceived to be capable of performing the same roles as the earlier and highly successful Beaver, but was overall a larger plane.
The Otter is a great plane for Bush Flying. Similar to the Beaver but caries a larger load. -

Lockheed U-2S Dragonlady
Shade Tree Micro Aviation pushed the limits of X-Plane to make the U-2S as realistic as possible. When you read the owner’s manual you will see that we relied on a number of sources to complete the project. We acquired the best books available and researched every picture we could find to make the cockpit authentic. The principal modeler spent more than 2 years researching this plane and consolidating the information into the flight and 3D model. The skin textures are masterfully created to replicate two actual aircraft in service.

The U.S. Army Air Force AT-11 & U.S. Navy SNB-1 KANSAN
Identified by their unique bulbous nose with it’s bombardier’s station, the AT-11/SNB-1 has a storied history. This extract from the Wikipedia Article says it all: During and after World War II, over 4,500 Beech 18s saw military service—as light transport, light bomber (for China), aircrew trainer (for bombing, navigation and gunnery), photo-reconnaisance, and "mother ship" for target drones—including United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) AT-11 Kansan; and United States Navy (USN) UC-45J Navigator, SNB-1 Kansan. In World War II, over 90% of USAAF bombardiers and navigators trained in these aircraft. -

Shade Tree Micro Aviation is proud to announce that we've signed vFlyteAir, a premier X-Plane payware modeler, as our launch AutoUpdate (AU) licensee. Read more about vFlyteAir here.
We are also pleased to support Alpha Trainer. Alpha Trainer is a plugin for X-Plane that helps new simulator as well as student pilots better understand the physics of flight. For more information and to order Alpha Trainer go to the Alpha Trainer website.
NOTICE: Effective immediately we *only* support Ubuntu 18.04 for Linux. Older versions of linux are not supported. See our PUB for additional details.
NOTICE: Using a Beta or Release Candidate (RC) X-Plane version? Please don't contact us about model problems, unless you are just passing along the information. Betas and RC don't have all of their features enabled and are, by definition, buggy so we can not make any changes until the final, stable XP version is released. If you have the disc space, we strongly recommend that you keep at least one recent stable version of X-Plane installed in addition to any such Betas.
