We start with the Airbus A350-1000 in development at Digital Flight Dynamics.
We get to take a look at new work-in-progress renders of both the flight deck and the exterior, on top of the aircraft within the actual simulator, and it’s quite impressive.
At the moment, we still don’t have a release date for this project which will be freeware and open source.
If you’d like to follow the project, you can find the developers on their own Discord server.
Next is a development update with plenty of screenshots of the F-4J Phantom II by DC Designs.
Last, but not least, Roman Design released Oshawa Executive Airport (CYOO) in Canada.
The nose section and some areas of the tail have been split off as separate components, allowing me to re-build them in different shapes for the different Phantom variants that will be included ( F4-J, F4E, F4-K and FGR2 ). The biggest challenge is the oleo gear animation. On the Phantom, the oleo gear extended upwards, providing more lift under the wings for carrier launches. This will be achieved solely with animations, requiring every last component to be “parented” to a single node located centrally between the main wheels. When engaged, the Phantom will then tilt back and the oleo gear will extend in the correct way. The F4-K will extend even further, as per real life, for launches from smaller UK carriers.”
It can be purchased at the developer’s own store for $19.99, and this is what you can expect.
