We know there's quite a bit of anticipation for our release of the C310 for MSFS and so we're here to give you a short update containing some good news and some not-so-great news.

Let's deal with the not-so-great first.

At Milviz we're committed and determined to release only top-notch products for MSFS that not only meet current standards for visuals and systems but exceed them and raise the bar for ourselves and others to follow.

After a through review of the model and textures for our C310R we've found that some significant parts need to be revised to raise that bar for GA in MSFS. That revision will take some time. Exactly how long we can't say because artwork like this is not an exact science to say the least. It may extend the release date by a couple of months or more. We can't and we won't release anything less than the best.

We know this will be disappointing for those waiting to get their hands on a high-quality, fast IFR twin for MSFS but the reward, after the wait, will be an aircraft second to none in visuals and systems depth in the GA arena.

The good news is that while the model upgrade work is proceeding the systems and flight model guys will have some additional time to further deepen and refine. I'm the systems guy and I'll personally commit to you that this 310R will be as accurate and detailed a simulation as is possible to have in MSFS at this time, with every detail implemented authentically and some features not yet seen in any GA aircraft for MSFS as of this writing.

Determined work is going forward every day by the whole team to give you a C310R you'll be proud to own and love to fly.

Willing to be patient. After all that's what many of us are doing with MSFS itself.  Avionics, weather, communications, navdata.  We know how elements can converge to create  a "perfect storm"  Perhaps this will all come together around the same time to create a perfect clearing of the sky with immersion into a fresh user-experience.  Like a nice rainbow...

I just logged 4+ hours this week in the splendid Milviz 310R for FSX SE so I am not SOL over this.

Little of topic. Do you guys have plan any enhancement of your another masterpiece Corsair ?

Quite excited for it! Also, I still would love to see the 737-200 in MSFS one day...

Thanks for the update! I am really looking forward to the release of your 310R!

If the Corsair is anything to go by it will be worth the wait...

The Corsair (built by a great team) didn't just raise the bar for MSFS warbirds, it raised it for us too.  We on the 310 can't possibly fall below their standard, and plan to up it maybe a little bit. 

I have been really looking forward to the release of the 310R and so very much appreciate this update very much.  I'm happy to wait until such time as it takes to get to your satisfaction that it's ready, and as a result I just bought the F1G Corsair in order to show support as well as tide me over for a while.  Thanks very much.

 

@Dutch727 are you able to talk yet about the systems we will see in the MSFS C310 ?

For example are you able to do a custom KAP140 AP along the lines of the P3D one ?

I love the internal competition!

Glad to answer all questions about the C310R, except ones that ask for a release date 🙂

Yes, the KAP140 in the C310R will work like a KAP140 should.  In fact it already does, that part is done, unless someone finds bugs.

I'm not on that team and can't speak about enhancement decisions at this point but I do know there's a fairly long list of corrections and improvements that will be sent in an update in the not too distant future.  When, I don't know, but there's never any but necessary delay to get fixes out to customers.

Brilliant ! Now all you have to do is say you'll be modelling the Turbo Engines 🙂

That said, the question is: what is possible in MSFS at this time?

The short answer is: in terms of what we need in the C310R there's nothing missing that prevents a full systems implementation that we know of now.  For the model there are no significant roadblocks except for the time-consuming tedium involved.  Textures are not logically complex but involve lots of time doing high-intensity art.  It's the flight model that will show up some things we wish we could do that don't work exactly right in the sim and we can't (at this time) find a workaround.  We'll do all we can in the FDE parameters to produce a high fidelity 310 that flies like a real one based on testing from real-world 310 pilots.   But this won't be perfect as I think everyone knows at this point, until some changes are made in the base sim.
