April 22, 20233 yr Hi there, Our friends at Synaptic Simulations will be live streaming on YouTube at 1830z. They will be showcasing a large amount of modeling, systems, and avionics progress of their upcoming A22X. Tune in: Discord: https://discord.gg/synaptic Edited April 22, 20233 yr by Watsi
April 23, 20233 yr By the looks it seems too good to be true for free 😁 I would pay for this. Mikael Leinonen
April 23, 20233 yr This will not be a study level airplane unless they model engine failures...like the real airplane. LOL...I'm just kidding. I hope this is great airplane. I would love to buy/fly it. A.

You said before that Synaptic Simulations is sharing code with the FBW team, right? I hope FBW and Synpatic Simulations are still sharing code! In fact, I hope other freeware projects all collaborate together and share code! This will advance the freeware add-ons for MSFS much faster! I think it's great that Synaptic Simulations, and Headwind are working with the FBW code. It's huge benefit to the MSFS community! i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM

From what I understood the didn't even start on the autopilot (LNAV, VNAV etc.) which is usually the most complex part. From what I've seen the A380 is further in progress and the A380 is still a year away at least. So at least one to two years for the A220, and there's always the chance a freeware team stops developing for a multitude of reasons (life, work, family, health, or just that the task has become too complex). For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

What would be great is if there is a common set of freeware libraries that the freeware MSFS community could use, especially devs making freeware airliners. Most likely, a common set of freeware library for MSFS would have to be spearheaded by the FBW team, since they have the most comprehensive freeware code for an airliner in MSFS at this point. This would definitely help freeware devs get their projects up and running faster, and deployed faster, since they don't have to reinvent the wheel. I think the FBW team is realizing how valuable and useful their code is, with Synaptic Simulations using it, with Headwind using it, etc. i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM

April 24, 20233 yr They have made so much progress it would be insane to see the project never release. This was probably a tad underwhelming if you expected a fully textured aircraft but this was way more than just screenshots. The A220 really is nothing like the A320 or 737. I had a pilot show me in the flightdeck how on the map you can literally draw where you want the plane to go using the curser and it will insert the waypoints for you. What other plane specifically narrowbody can do that? The workload management aspect of this airplane is incredible and I was blown away by what I saw in this stream from their progress.
