Now that our new MSFS Vulcan has been released, we'll be switching our attention elsewhere to bring you up to speed with progress on our other projects currently in development. Our apologies for the lack of recent updates on these new aircraft.

The first update is for the F70/100 Professional for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Lots of work has been ongoing with this project but this particular update focuses on the various door configurations and virtual cabins of the F100 variant.

A few screenshots are included here but if you head over to the F70/100 Professional page you'll find many more along with some text covering this topic.

To answer the inevitable question, we're planning to have this new twin-engined regional airliner on sale in the first quarter of 2024 - but no guarantees there, of course!

More F70/100 updates are on the way, with the next one scheduled to focus on the cockpit and lighting, and we'll soon be providing updates for our other projects in development too - thank you for your patience!

Just Flight's new Avro Vulcan B Mk. 2, K.2 & MRR add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator is now on sale!

Our new Vulcan package brings you three variants of the aircraft in 18 authentic paint schemes and features stunning 8k textures, a range of realistic payload options, custom ground equipment, multi-function Electronic Flight Bag and numerous detailed animations.

Captain and Co-Pilot positions in the cockpit are modelled with hundreds of functional switches, knobs and controls. A selection of rear crew panels are also modelled. The Vulcan features complex custom-coded systems based on real-world manuals, including electrical, fuel and engine systems, and TACAN and VOR navigation.

Other features include an impressive 3D Wwise sound package, dynamic cockpit and exterior lighting with over 25 fully functioning controls, realistic V/UHF radio unit, accurate flight dynamics based on real-world performance and handling data, external model options for each livery and multiple interior and exterior camera presets.

See the Avro Vulcan B Mk. 2, K.2 & MRR page for more screenshots, new videos and all the aircraft details!

In partnership with Thranda Design, we are proud to announce a new product line featuring our General Aviation aircraft fleet for X-Plane 12!

This brand-new line of aircraft are being developed natively for X-Plane 12 and will be modelled with a plethora of new features while also taking full advantage of everything X-Plane 12 has to offer.

We'll be working our way through all of our existing X-Plane 11 GA aircraft to upgrade them to this new standard and we plan to have the entire product line completed in the next 12-18 months. We'll be sure to keep you updated as we make progress!

The first aircraft of this new product line is the Duchess Model 76, which should be ready to fly in the not too distant future. As you can see in the screenshots below and on the Duchess page, the biggest visual changes to these aircraft will be overhauled interior and exterior textures; these both now boast 8K resolution and incredible levels of detail, with crisp panel lines, accurate rippling of the skin and true-to-life weathering.

Our partners at Thranda Design are also implementing a large number of popular features from their own much-loved aircraft, including an EFB tablet, which removes the need for any pop-out windows that featured in previous version of the aircraft.

These new aircraft will also include 'Dynamic Liveries' that allow you to modify the colour schemes of two liveries almost in real time, and without reloading the flight! The wear and tear of the aircraft can also be adjusted using the tablet EFB so you can fine-tune the level of dirt and scratches to your personal taste.

On top of all this, six brand-new, high-quality 8K liveries are provided to really complete the exterior textures. Flight model improvements take full advantage of the new X-Plane 12 flight physics.

See the Duchess Model 76 page for all the details of the new X-Plane 12 aircraft and some more screenshots.

We hope this announcement comes as good news to the X-Plane community and we're looking forward to continuing to develop aircraft for X-Plane 12 into the future.
