It's a nice add-on, there are a lot of things I like about it. But some of these textures would have raised some eyebrows even in FSX/P3D... not really what I expect from something being released in 2026.

They thought that was the case until shortly before release, but it isn't. In a future update they'll add an option to switch to kilograms.

Well, soon-ish we’ll be getting the Contrail Falcon 50, and hopefully by the end of the year the JustFlight Learjet 45 Professional as well. So if you’re not a fan of the G3000/5000, there are still some great jets heading your way.

Yes, SU5 has been a significant performance downgrade for me...

Raul said there’ll be a preview livestream by Twotonemurphy 24h before release, and since that's now scheduled for tomorrow, the release is probably happening on Monday if nothing goes wrong.

"It's basically done and we are releasing the beta in a few days." Nice! So maybe even before the Phenom. Very exciting time to be a GA enthusiast!

In the Murphy stream Raul said there will be 8 videos before release, that would point to a release on Tue 19.

WOW, it looks seriously impressive so far! I guess in some ways it's unlucky that both FSW and A2A are doing a high fidelity Legacy, but since the RealAir Legacy in FSX and P3D was one of my all time favorite add-ons, I can't wait to check them both out in MSFS!

My wishful thinking is that they’ve decided behind the scenes not to separate the VNAV update from the NEOs and that both will be released soon™. On the other hand, the WT Praetor was originally planned for 2025 as well and is now scheduled for November this year, so…

You think so? The announcement of the M600 for FSExpo made me feel like we probably won't see the Phenom for quite some time after that.

According to the roadmap shown at the beginning, the Praetor release is tentatively scheduled for November. Looks like it will be worth the wait!

Path of least resistance choice of aircraft… I’m starting to lose hope we’ll ever see another warbird or COTS release from them.

Maybe a year or two ago there was a dev livestream where they talked about watermasks, or rather the lack of them. Jörg mentioned that they had assigned a team specifically to work on watermasks and estimated it would take about three years to cover the entire planet. I don’t think they ever provided an update on that, and since they no longer do those livestreams, there’s no way to ask them about it directly anymore.
