When A2A announced the early access they said "A roadmap detailing upcoming updates will follow shortly after release." I'm just asking if that has happened yet.

Have the released the timeline for completion yet?

Black square has a 690B In progress, both piston and turboprop. Look down just a few threads on the forum.

Any sense of what isn't complete?

I love twins ... but I'll have to see how this works out before I'll purchase. I may be being a bit cynical but, when a vendor who in recent years has become known for both slow product development and reluctance to communicate with the community about new products suddenly comes out with an early access release (after a burst of high quality releases by others) so the community can "join them for the final stretch of development." I get an uneasy feeling. Considering the length of A2A's project development I would at least need to see the timeline, which they say will be coming out "shortly" after the release. (at least they didn't use "soon")

Wow, What a beautiful plane. I intended just to familiarize myself a bit with the cockpit tonight....but of course ended up putting it at the end of the runways for a flight. Hand flys very nicely, while also giving the feeling that I have a good amount to learn. The cockpit is just incredible in VR. Folks, we're talking fingerprints on the instrument glass level immersion.

We saw the return air vent under the lavatory seat. No word on whether the effect of unpleasant smells is modeled.

Starship is also going to take into account debris sucked into the engines. From the manual; This aircraft simulates damage caused to turbine engines by ingestion of particulate matter, better known as foreign object debris, or “FOD”. FOD can include dust, sand, gravel, ice, etc., and is typically associated with operating on unimproved runways. The amount of damage caused by the FOD is calculated based on which of the 25 recognizable surface types the aircraft is currently operating on, the thrust of the propeller, and the position of the inertial separator vanes. In order to prevent damage, be sure to use the inertial separators whenever operating on unimproved surfaces, including all ground operations, and whenever ice is present.
