Quick update from Aamir, for those not on Discord:

Happy Friday all!

Seeing as we’ve been a bit quiet lately and that has resulted in a lot of people assuming we’re dead rather than just busy working, I figured a small update was in order to stave off the life insurance phonecalls for a bit longer.

For the most part there’s nothing new to announce/show, except that we’re much further along on all fronts mentioned in the last update, and so far keeping right on our revised schedule per our current internal development roadmap. The V2 update is an expectedly huge undertaking, rivalling the amount of work required for the original development. The external engine model is in the final phases before pushing into testing, dealing with edge-cases (e.g. what happens to the oil pressure, temperature or vibration when you start an engine in -30C and then immediately firewall the throttles), and startup/shutdown transient states, thermal transients, etc. Flight model & fly-by-wire refinements have continued with a focus on crosswind take-off and landing performance; there are some rather nasty ‘sim-isms’ that cannot be worked around here, but it’s a heck of a lot better than before. System tweaks and improvements have also been made over the last few months. Performance benchmarks of the new display system show a significant uplift in performance, and the visual rework, from displays to the 3D model, is looking very nice with a few “never seen before in MSFS” goodies, all whilst consuming less resources. As before, nothing we’re quite ready to show as there’s a lot to be brought together into one cohesive package, but I’m personally extremely happy with the progress being made on all fronts.

We’ll be back with more when we have something to show - sorry there wasn’t much of substance here but as before, there’s not a whole lot to say other than we’re still alive and working hard. Thanks for being patient with us, it’ll be worth it and some.
