Joe,

 

Could we please have an update?

 

Thanks,

Bill

Hey Bill,

 

Of course! Texture work is 95% complete. Modeling is 100% complete, including cabin, cockpit, and external. We're now hard at work coding everything to bring you the systems you expect after flying the 441. This one features even more. I'd say coding is probably about 80% done.

 

Here's (basically) what's left. We need to finish up the coding, flight dynamics, maintenance system, and sounds.

 

Id say we're looking at a finished product in the next 60 days if all goes to plan. (Maybe sooner!)

 

And of course, plenty of new screenshots to follow!

Thank you Joe,

 

Good report.  Sounds like you have another winner on the way.  I will be one the first to buy when it's ready.

 

Best,

maintenance system

That's a new item, eh? What's the rough scope? Brake pads, oil, engine wear leading to consequences?

Basically, the MX system will allow you to keep up with regular service intervals. The standard intervals on the Mits are (in hours) 100, 200, 600, 1200, and 5400.

 

Items like you said, brake pads, engine oil, etc, are done at regular service intervals. So when you reach a service interval, you'll get a popup that tells you what needs to be done, and how much it will cost. You'll need to accomplish the tasks to eliminate the popup window. You'll also have another window you can bring up that will show you how close you are to given intervals, allowing you to plan a trip to your MX facility.

 

Additionally, the window will include a list of which airports have real world Mitsubishi approved MU-2 service centers. You can't just have it done anywhere!

And i know i promised a VC shot

 

I'd say we're making progress!

 

Now we're talking. Thanks for the information and update.

This aircraft is going to be great! I am really looking forward it.  

A friend of mine's been on about this for months. Worth watching.

Will it be possible to implement a maintenance system in the 441.  If possible that would be a great enhancement.

Hey Mike,

 

Not impossible, but we haven't considered it yet. If we decide to update the 441, we'll let you all know ahead of time. Rest assured, our JET will have it

What about Mindstar GNS integration for those of us with P3D?

 

Cheers,

 

Todd

Wowww!! Looking forward to have it in my virtual hangar, Thanks for your work.

Another option we've only briefly considered. But rest assured it will receive more serious consideration before release.

 

Joe

Thanks, Joe. 

Guess what we have working as a vertical mode on the SPZ-500...

 

PLEASE bear in mind that many of these textures and fonts are for testing purposes and are not final...such as the labels on the AP mode selector.

 

 

That looks very good, Joe.
