Welcome to Part Three of our 2024 End Of Year Review!
As we reach the end of the year we have achieved some exciting milestones with our
F70/100 Professional project.
In the cockpit, our coders have been hard at work integrating the F100’s complex systems. These are about 80% complete and we’ll be starting beta testing in the coming weeks. Fortunately we have a great testing team to help us, full of eager real-world F70/100 pilots, engineers and knowledgeable sim pilots ready to pick through every single detail. We’re sure that they will keep us on our toes with suggestions, helping to deliver an incredible product. We will, of course, bring you some specific development updates in due course, but for now enjoy these screenshots of the cockpit, ready for take-off.
Since our last F70/100 preview, which showed off the new HD base textures, our livery artist has been busy upgrading all the liveries to 8K resolution. This isn’t a simple task, due to the challenge of finding high-resolution reference photographs, especially for older liveries. This is particularly important given the level of texture detail that needs to be achieved for such high-resolution artwork. With this work also drawing to a close, we hope you’ll agree that the results are absolutely stunning and will put the F70/100 Professional in good stead for the future.
With regards to MSFS 2020 and 2024 compatibility, it’s still early days for MSFS 2024 and so core development is continuing in MSFS 2020 for now whilst we wait for greater stability. We remain committed to supporting both simulators.
Keep an eye out here and on our social media channels tomorrow for Part Four of our End Of Year Review 2024…
