/images/notams/notams21/dino0518/indiafoxtecho-1.jpgAfter some DCS teasing, here is an update on the MSFS front, and onour military models specifically (as we discussed the SU-31 just fewdays ago). As you know, the next in line are the F-35 and the M-346. For both,the approach we have taken is to go back to evaluate each asset ofthese projects in MSFS - and go back to the drawing board when needed,and redesign from scratch what is not up to the quality level we wantto achieve. /images/notams/notams21/dino0518/indiafoxtecho-2.jpg /images/notams/notams21/dino0518/indiafoxtecho-3.jpgAs for the F-35, with respect to our P3D version: We have decided to remake the virtual cockpit from scratchMany details of the external model have been remade from scratch and the textures have been remastered to 8KThe MFD (or better PCD in the F-35 lingo) is being rewritten and all the graphic elements and the fonts have been revised, so that the look is much closer to the real dealThe flight model will be MSFS nativeAt the moment we are focusing on the F-35A, with the B and C models to follow (although we hope to have all of them available at launch)However, there are also some drawbacks and, as usual, we want youto be aware of them. In detail: Some systems/PCD modes will not be simulated, as they are not supported by MSFS. These include ASR, DAS, TFLIR and SRCH modes. Of course this detracts from the "F-35 experience" as they are an essential part of the mission systemThe avionics will still be by and large XML-based. This is not optimal for performance, but rewriting the PCD from scratch in C++ would have taken foreverWe have not started experimenting with the STOVL functionalities yet...so they are still TBCThe model will have no weapons (not even static ones) as they are banned from the MSFS MarkeplaceEven with these limitations, we are pretty happy with the resultsso far and we hope it will be a decent rendition of the aircraft. As for the M-346, it is a little too early to show where we arewith it - but we believe it is looking pretty good.

/images/notams/notams20/indi0914.jpgQuick development update on various projects for Microsoft FlightSimulator: LONG-EZ: the aircraft is complete and ready for release,however it seems that the upcoming patch for MSFS will introduce somechanges in the dynamics, so I think it is better to postpone therelease a little and check that there are no compatibility issuesfirst. The price has been set to €15 (+ applicable taxes). Due to technical constraints, it is likely to appear on otherdistribution platforms before it shows up on the MicrosoftMarketplace. MB-339: we are moving forward very quickly with this one...Ihope we'll have a complete build for internal testing in a week orso. Please do not start asking for Beta access at this point...testingwill proceed as usual. Now...I do not want to crush your dream of flying in aerobaticteams with the MB-339... but there are two major restrictions at themoment: 1) The smoke system is not working at the moment in MSFS... it ison the Asobo Studio roadmap, but at the moment it is not there. 2) Unfortunately the simulator, at the moment, is set up in such away that, if you are getting too close to another aircraft, it willdisappear... this is probably done on purpose in order to preventtoxic players from "crashing" into others while playing online...butit is no good at all for formation flying. Hopefully this can befixed. M-346: Hopefully, the next MSFS will fix the issue of long leadtimes while loading the aircraft... at the moment it is very difficultto make some progress with it. Then, as you may be aware of, we have several other projects inthe works: nothing to announce at the moment, but I hope I will beable to release some screen shots soon(ish).
