Airbus A300B4 for Microsoft Flight Simulator  Gets New Screenshots

Just Flight provided a new look at its upcoming vintage version of the Airbus A300, the A300B4.

The developers are finishing work on the animation and lighting logic for nearly 2000 separate switches, dials, and annunciator lights. Flight deck artwork and animations are ready, and system coders have been making “excellent progress.”

The developer has not yet shown the exterior since the announcement of the aircraft as it has been completely overhauled. Modeling work has been completed and texturing is underway. We’ll see that in the new year.

Core development is being done on MSFS2020, while the developers wait for greater stability on MSFS2024. Both simulators will be supported.
