Fokker F28 Fellowship v2 for MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020 Gets New Screenshots and Details
Just Flight released a gallery of screenshots for version 2 of its popular Fokker F28 Fellowship that is releasing on March 13.
We get to see the clipboard with the paper checklists and the EFB tablet with configuration options, boarding and refueling simulation, and Navigraph Enroute charts.
The new version also comes with significantly more autopilot configuration opinions including VHF NAV and ADF radios and RNAV navigation with the GNS430 GPS or the custom-coded UNS-1 FMS.
The cockpit is automatically configured with any additional element required by selected options. For instance, NAV/GPS selectors and GPS annunciators appear when the UNS-1 is fitted.
We’re also getting two options for altitude controllers, a basic Altitude Alerting System, and a more advanced Altitude Preselect Controller. This provides coupled vertical speed controls, altitude arming, altitude hold, and altitude alerting modes.
There will be a toggle to switch between a traditional Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) and a digital Vertical Speed Indicator with an integrated TCAS display.
