I used reference images and books to study each individual panel, and then recreated it, to scale each switch, every button, every light and gauge. There are no reason for the fact that everything should not be present now in its entirety, as MSFS can handle it safely. The plane that I built built a lot of finer detail in the panels, including numerous switches and gauges, to maintain performance and make the airplane travel pleasant. In this case, everything you see in light grey is totally new. Some developers talk about remodelling their aircraft entirely, but then add some bells and whistles. Although MSFS did remove those problems, it is time to complete the details, knowing it won’t spoil the fun. There isn’t much to worry about, so it took very long to work through it.įor those of you who don’t know, in the past I’ve always modelled for performance in terms of sex-detail, as platforms such as FSX and Prepar3D struggled when the time was right and the ability to slow down and to connect with high-fidelity aircraft forced users to take the risk. It is only two pictures from Concorde this week, but it’s good for the fact that this week, the entire engineer panel has been remodeled to meet a realistic and detailed level of detail requirements of MSFS. Next are DC Designs, and the Concorde is updated with a refresh and image. The upcoming F-16s will be priced the same as DC Designs F-14 Tomcats, at 24.99 ( $33 ) for all three aircraft and the paint kit will be included at launch for those of you who love to create liveries ( at least ten liveries already come with). The marketplace and the console will continue soon after, but wait times depend on Microsofts team (They are at the moment two months behind schedule it appears ). The first week of December 2021, just in the first week of December 2021, I’ll be using just Flight. In meantime, I’ll write the manual, the flight testing continues until November, until soon, until now, I can tell and release it. Next, customizable pilot helmets, faces and flight suits will be added into the package in the coming weeks. The cockpit will work the same twin-seater design, but the exterior is notably different in that export version, which mirrors other foreign operators operating similar F-16s, like Singapore and Pakistan.Ī few more paints were added, and the F-16s are now having their own custom sound packs created by Sim Acoustics. The aircraft is also going to be commissioned to carry AMRAAM missiles on the wing-tips and AIM-9s, as well as a few fan requests.įinally, the FCS plans a F-16 Fighting Falcon package will be included into the F-16I Soufa, the Israeli version. Even though the Falcons are not modeled with particular blocks in mind, this option gives me some strength. They are made visible by the FI-Selected switch in the cockpit, giving the user the choice to decide whether they appear or not on the fuselage.
The second addition is the return of the IFF box cutter sensors on the Falcon’s nose. As long as fuel flows switch to internal tanks, these CFTs disappear! Only from the fuselage when fuel flows turn into internal tanks while the flight starts. This first addition is the Conformal Fuel Tanks to all the models, which can be used by the Auxiliary Fuel Tank setting up the in-sim payload menu. After the many requests made by thousands of followers over the past few weeks, I added a number of new features to the Fighting Falcons that should, I hope, keep most people happy.
