ERJ Family 2.0 for X-Plane Gets New Video and Development Update
X-Crafts provided a development update and an extensive video of its ERJ Family v2 for X-Plane, which won’t make it for this year.
That being said, the delay is offset by quality, and all systems are custom and behave like on the real aircraft, and 99% of all cockpit buttons are operational, except for the circuit breakers or buttons that cannot really be practically simulated in a flight simulator.
The aircraft also comes with “an authentic FMS with holds, authentic avionics, accurate flight dynamics, and everything else in between.”
We also hear about a new feature named “AirComms,” that “will include interactive tutorials, offer tips on when to perform specific actions, and provide warnings if you forget to complete certain tasks.”
Interestingly, while it’ll debut on the ERJs, it’ll also come to the E-Jets at a later time.
Atlanta Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator Gets Development Update
Matteo Veneziani, developer of Orbx’s upcoming Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020, provided a development update, including the fact that the airport won’t be out by the end of 2025, but it’ll still make it before the winter ends.
We also hear about the level of detail we can expect:
“It won’t be released before the end of the year. There’s still some work to do, but we’re really close. The release date won’t be after the winter months, as predicted in the last update.I’m currently finishing the groundpoly, which took longer than expected; but I guarantee it will be a 100% faithful replica of the real.
All the ground lines, ground signals, manholes, drainage lines, etc. are accurately recreated. Furthermore, all the runway lights, taxiways, approach lights, and taxiway signs will also be accurately recreated.In this project, every part of the airport has the same level of detail consistency. This means that from the main terminal to the last most important building, the accuracy is maximum.
All these details take time, which I’m happy to invest to provide you an excellent product. Thank you for your patience and I’m happy to hear all this enthusiasm for this project. I take this opportunity to wish to everybody a Happy New Year.”
Szczecin–Goleniów Airport for MSFS Get New Screenshots
Drzewiecki Design revealed new images of Szczecin–Goleniów Airport (EPSC) in Poland.
We also get the usual brief development update.
“Work on EPSC Szczecin continues steadily in the background. The focus remains on core airport infrastructure, with key facilities and technical areas progressing step by step and the overall layout being prepared for further detailing in the next development phase. It’s one of those less flashy stages, but essential groundwork that will pay off once visible elements start to come together.”
