/images/notams/notams22/sws0418/sws-1.jpgFirst of all, theRV-14has been a great success, thank you for choosing to support ourproduct! As with every release, more eyes mean more problems spotted,so we are down to work already. An update addressing problems detectedpost-release will be out on Tuesday to all vendors. Next we willcontinue working on bugs reported with the flight model, hopefullymaking the product even better. /images/notams/notams22/sws0418/sws-2.jpgWe are also working on theKodiak,wheeled and float plane. We have been spending time improving the codeof the aircraft and trying to reduce the FPS hit. We are alsoexperimenting with persistent variables that will save the aircraft'sstate across flights. ESP has been implemented in the aircraft, withroll mode working well and pitch in need of tuning but workingcorrectly. The next "hot" thing we're working on is hotstarts! They take some work, but we are very close to achieving thedesired effect. There are many more updates to the aircraft, but theseare the major things planned for the next update. Lastly, the floatplane is finally sitting right on the water, and we are working on thehandling and contact points. We are hopeful that the next update tothe Kodiak will be accompanied by the release of the float planeproduct. Next, a sale will run on our MSFS products starting Monday, thatwill last one week. Except for the RV-14 and the Kodiak, all MSFSproducts will be 50% off. Lastly, the SWS team will be taking an Easter break startingThursday the 21st of April and will return on Monday, May 2nd in orderto get some much-needed rest. During that time, communications andsupport will not be available until we are back and have to catchup. Source See SimWorks Studios products for MSFS 2020, including those now on sale

/images/notams/notams22/sws0414.jpgWe've been working for some time with TDS Simulations to achieve acomplete integration of their GTNXi 750 system with our RV-14. Part ofthat effort was preparing the RV-14 to accept the "Smart Glide"feature of Garmin's system. Smart Glide is an innovative feature whichautomatically detects the closest airport and, with the push of abutton, controls the aircraft laterally and vertically in order forthe aircraft to reach the airport. TDS are currently working on the feature and sent us a previewscreen shot with the GTNXi taking over and trimming the aircraft inorder to reach the optimal glide speed based on prevailingconditions. This is, of course, a work-in-progress, but a verypromising and cool feature! The SWS RV-14 is "Smart Glide ready" since the day of release, soas soon as the GTNXi 750 is updated with the feature, your aircraftwill be able to use it! Source Purchase the SWS - Vans RV-14
