Edgley Optica v1.3

Edgley Optica v1.3

The Edgley EA-7 Optica, designed by John Edgley and built by Brooklands Aerospace, had an unusual configuration with a fully glazed forward cabin seating three across.

NOTE: This is a modified FSX import with functional gauges and cockpit animations. This is intended to be used on a basic flight level and not purposed for realistic simulation. All clickable switches do not currently work and hopefully they will be implemented in the future.
