Textron Inc. is an American industrial conglomerate based in Providence, Rhode Island. Textron's subsidiaries include Arctic Cat, Bell Helicopter, Textron Aviation (which itself includes the Beechcraft, Hawker and Cessna brands), and Lycoming Engines. It was founded by Royal Little in 1923 as the Special Yarns Company.

How the heck a YARN company wound up a near aviation monopoly is a mystery.

Guess I should have known this but somehow Cessna becoming part of Textron completely slipped past me...

7 new Insider screenshots have just been uploaded, main post has been updated. Sadly this seems to have overwritten the previous ones, as well as all the screenshots from past updates. Hopefully they can fix the site to make all past Insider content visible again.

aaaah very nice, new Wallpapers for my Workplace tomorrow ! 😁

I'm sitting here staring at the 748 thinking how could you prove it's not a real aircraft photo.....the sims environmental lighting is just magnificent again and the external modelling of these aircraft are superb...

I think we have accurate coastlines now...hehe (remember that one?).  Anyways....O---M--G !!!  It just keeps getting better and better!  This is insane!

The water with the waves crashing at 1.02 minutes into the video.

Just WOW!

Hear they go again, dangling that mouthwatering steak in front of a starving person. They are evil I tell you. 8O

Well said!

I'm happy to see the business jet. It appears to be a Citation but I won't stake my rep on it, 

I'd say your rep is safe 🙂

Wow, that was a stunning new trailer.  Holy moly.....

The aircraft partnerships we’re announcing today include (in alphabetical order):

• Airbus
• The Boeing Company
• CubCrafters
• Daher
• Diamond Aircraft Industries
• ICON Aircraft
• Robin Aircraft
• Textron Aviation

Note these are all aircraft manufactures. So despite what some have said, it would seem no sim add-on aircraft developer has been given an unfair advantage at this time.

Oh yeah, the wording does make it sound like they might be adding more down the line.
