Hello dear simmers.

As some of you may have noticed, it's been a while since we made a post about the Airbus A350-900. Two of us were working very hard on this aircraft, the task was too big for just us. So we decided to give our entire project for free to Digital Flight Dynamic, who is doing a great job on the 350 systems, and we are sure that this decision will be a credit to the entire simming community. We are continuing with our aircraft that are planned for Flight Simulator, we are only stopping this project. In the meantime, here are the last screenshots of the version we gave:

I admire all freeware contributors that enhance our hobby so much.  Even if this was to become a payware product, I'd buy it if for nothing else to support the efforts of a dedicated dev that works hard to give to the community.

I find it a striking pattern where we've seen over the years, devs who try to take on the advanced Airbus line, only to fall short when the enormity of the project finally comes to bear. 

Blue Mesh did a great job on the modeling....and I applaud their decision to let DFD pick it up and hopefully finish what is undoubtedly the 10,000ft high roadblock that stops every enthusiastic dev hoping to deliver a full aircraft, the systems and avionics. 

I wish both devs well in their future endeavors.

I complete agree with Steve Dra.  I would be willing to pay to play.
