As Jon pointed out, they announced this back on February 17, so they probably just skipped ahead four months in the sim to get better lighting for the screenshot... Has there been any communication about the Legacy since then? The only thing I've seen was some debugging on the Working Title Discord that seemed to hint it may include the new WT Avidyne IFD units.

Very exciting news indeed! I'm curious whether they'll be using the Pro Line Fusion from the Synaptic A220 or the Working Title iteration that's coming with the WT Praetor 600 hopefully later this year.

I held off on buying the Max until SP1, and so far I'm really pleased. Obviously no software is ever perfect, but my first impressions have been very positive. My favorite thing by far is how it hand-flies. Last night I had one of the most satisfying landings I've had in the MSFS 2020/2024 ecosystem in the last six years, into Palma de Mallorca at sunset.

From the Synaptic Discord:

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.
