Flight Simulation developers shared news today, focusing on upcoming airports and aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020.
Without further ado, you can check out the news below.
Airbus A340-600 by Aerosoft and Toliss will be Released Before the A330neo; New Screenshots Shared
Aerosoft announced on Discord that the Airbus A340-600 developed in collaboration with Toliss has pretty literally overtaken the A300neo, also in the works at the German company.
As such, the four-engine airliner will now release first as opposed to what was previously expected.
A specific release date has not been announced just yet.
The screenshots themselves are work-in-progress and not final. For instance, the animation of the sidestick isn’t finished, so its position is not correct, some colors aren’t 100% correct, and wear and tear/dirt are missing.
Newcastle Airport MSFS 2024 Native Version Showcased
RW Profiles is working on a native MSFS 2024 version of its Newcastle International Airport (EGNT) in the UK, and today we get the first screenshots on top of a development update on the developer’s Discord server.
“From new, native, and high resolution ground textures to new and native night lighting and other new features such as the newly re-surfaced runway with its new markings. Newcastle 2024 will elevate the scenery even further and make use of all the new bells and whistles the 2024 SDK has to offer! New performance advancements in the SDK such as the possibility to instance 3D objects, like cars, should improve the experience even further. To put this into perspective, all the cars in the scenery will now have the same performance impact as if only 15 cars were placed in the scenery overall!
We hope you like those first previews and we will be back with more info soon. There are still plenty of hours of work to do in addition to the more than 250 already invested, but we think it is truly worth it to make use of all the new feature instead of just porting it over to the new SDK.”
