Here's a brief look from Mark at FSW on what the L35A will look like with the UNS-1 FMC installed. Progress is being made!

I think somebody stole the fmc out of my Q400!

Looks great!

Wow looks amazing!

 

I just got this plane a week ago or so after i saw the impressive graphics upgrade made by @Wickedbacon92 and i cant get enough of this! specially the cargo variant. I love that thing.

 

If the Falcon gets the same graphics love, i will get that one too

Fortunately, the Falcon50 has already had the "graphics love" from Wickedbacon92. As I recall, that happened before the Lear graphics were updated.

Will this have Navigraph support to update the database?

Thanks

Yes, users will be able to update the FMC database by purchasing the updates from Navigraph.

Flysimware expects the Lear's FMC expansion package to be available in a month or less. PriceTBD but will be in the $20-$25 ballpark. As you can see from the video above, this includes the Lear with the redesigned panel to accommodate the FMC. So you will end up with a Learjet 'fleet' with an FMC version and the current GPS version. Note the FMC equipped Lear requires many files from the existing Lear35A installation, ie., the Learjet 35A basepack is required.

Will it be all versions of P3D? Or just V4?

Thanks

The FMC should work in all FSW L35A compatible sims.

Very excited for this! Exactly what this bird needed. Rough idea of functionality? More or less complete?

Is TCAS planned alongside the new transponder?

The goal is to make the FMC functionality as close as reasonably possible to what Captain Joe, FSW's tech advisor and real world Lear35A Captain, has in the Lear35A he flies. I am not aware of any TCAS plans.

Thanks Al, looking forward to it.

Interesting.  Does this FMS provide VNAV or just LNAV?  I'm quite happy with the dual GTN750's at the moment but would consider the purchase to support the dev.
