Small update- We've found a couple issues that we're working on to fix. I know we'd like to have the update in your hands, but we need a bit more time to get it done. Apologies for the delay, SU2 is quite a major update and there a a few things that are different from 2020, even though this is a compatibility update, rather than an all-new model. I really feel for the Asobo developers who have not just one, but all the different development houses to deal with, with so many different requests and ways to do things... .

Hello everyone, We are very excited to be opening invitations to interview additional developers to allow for faster and more streamlined development of our products, current and upcoming. If you have the requisite experience and want to join our development team, we are looking for the following in a 3d modeler: (required) experience with Blender (later versions desired) (required) experience with Substance Painter and Photoshop experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024 modeling SDKs familiarity with aircraft / avionics / navigation If you believe you are a good fit for our team and wish to join us, please send your qualifications (a CV / resume is ideal) together with a paragraph or two as an informal cover letter to jobs (at) flightsimlabs (dot) com. Thank you!

Regarding FSLabs on MSFS 2024, it's time to step things up. At some point, progress needs to happen — it’s simply not acceptable that, in 2025, there is still zero official communication. There is no Discord server, no updates, no roadmap, and almost no interaction with the community. It’s frustrating for those of us who have supported the brand for years. Things need to evolve. The industry has moved forward, the competition is strong (Fenix, PMDG, etc.), and staying silent this long is not a viable strategy anymore. We’re waiting for something concrete: clear communication, transparency, and especially news about compatibility with MSFS 2024.

Hi Stephen, I don't remember the quote but I might be talking about different updates within the same MSFS product? i.e. 2020? The 2024 product is so in-flux right now, with things changing continuously (just take a look at devsupport.flightsimulator.com or the bug list Jorg posts each week) that it's impossible to know from one release to the other what might change. For example, there's an issue with what they call "light flares" that happen in 2024 with light effects that cause big bright or black blobs to appear where the light effects are positioned - those are to be fixed in SU3 - possibly . But we're helping Asobo out with everything - and that takes time! Hope that answers you!

You are correct. We are trying hard to work and get our product line in MSFS2024, sometimes we keep our heads down way too long and get deeply involved in the development process and communication falls behind. Thank you for bringing your opinion here and posting it - while you seem to be quite a fresh forum member (Dec 2024), we welcome your opinion equally with our old-time customers of course! That's why I communicated the plan to get our CEO products in 2024 with the SU2 release and why when that got delayed a bit, I came here to communicate that. That's also why our News section in our web site, along with our updates, communicates what our plans are each time going forward. That's where you can find our roadmap (I also tend to copy that text over to our Announcement section). There is also an (unofficial) Discord server that we are on, you will find our devs and testers frequently replying there and helping people who ask questions. Perhaps you are unaware of it? So yes- we are trying to get better in communicating, even more so while we are developing. Oh - and I very much appreciate the replies, so keep them coming! Cheers!

Once we have more news on the NEO we'll share it - forgive us but some things need to be kept private until we're ready to show them off . As for the 330 - as per our previous announcements, it is on the roadmap...

Hi Alessandro, our wonderful beta team noticed a couple glitches in MSFS2024 we're fixing. I don't have an ETA at this time, as it's the weekend, but we want them done before we can release. Note: There are several other glitches we've noticed and reported to Asobo that we do not consider critical enough to block release - some are because they're getting fixed in the upcoming SU3beta and some because - well, no flight simulator is ever perfect and they fall under the "if we can figure out workarounds, we will make them happen". Apologies for not having reported here before you felt the need to give me a ping.

Hi Ramon! Thank you for the words of support! They are very welcome and we hope to continue the path - and if / when we fail to do so, we appreciate the words of confidence which help us restart with the same fervor!

There is a pattern of vaporware with these projects, and FSLabs does not issue any updates other than “work is ongoing and when we have something to share, we’ll share it”. I personally find the strategy of announcing such projects followed by years of radio silence on any meaningful progress updates a bit disrespectful to customers. We are all here because at the end of the day, we support FSLabs, their work and want them to do well, and underlining it all, we are all very passionate about aviation. This business of announcing/teasing a project followed by long duration radio silence leaves one to believe the project is either not going well, or that FSLabs is insensitive to the customer regard/passionate interest at play. Not to get too into psychology, but a dev that provides even modest updates is able to develop a rapport with their customer base such that years of delays are broadly tolerated by customers with understanding and support, and most importantly, calibrated expectations that it’s going to be a while. To answer your overall question, I believe the A330 is coming to MSFS, although I have zero SA on whether it’s months or years away.

If they're too busy to post here, why will they have to time to enter into conversations on Discord? Discord, for all it's benefits, also brings the disadvantages of people expecting even more from the team than they're giving now - if something's not responded to even quicker there, the furore will be greater...

Is Skalarki stuff working with MSFS 2020 yet?

Hi Trevor, The best thing is to subscribe to the Announcements channel. That's the very first place we post when we have news to share.

Right, what's going on guys, with all things taken on board, is the concorde development struggling? We all know, the development of a new aircraft is a lengthy project, but come on chaps, what's going on? Is it in trouble?

I considered myself one the "old" guys around, who got tired of 0 communication to the point I stopped visiting the forums, something I used to do on daily basis. I have never stopped supporting FSlabs, I bought the P3D concorde v2 without even having P3d installed anymore. But looking at the recent updates from you and other team members is really a good sign that maybe things will change for the better. Thanks for all the great products and now an enhanced communication.

Thanks for keeping us posted Lefteris and hope you guys don't end up with too much headache dealing with the snags.

Exactly, we do not care about these things at all. I hate to see the direction of MS24 at this time. I only use MSFS for FSLabs A321, if not, I wouldn't even use MSFS .Coming from Prepar3D, I have a hard time appreciating the direction of any MSFS, especially since it escape the simulation frame. Now, 99% of the time I use XP12 over any MSFS. But when I do, its definitely FSLabs!

I don't find it rubbish. I ditched 2020 yesterday and have been enjoying my experience with 2024. Just need a decent Neo

i wouldn't bother with 2024 just yet..daughter got me that for christmas..absolute rubbish at the minute..i would wait until the beta testers who paid for it have finished with it..it has been removed from my system until such a time as its stable

The plan at the moment is to put one under each wing but we are open to suggestions. Whilst we decide, here is one with the "No Engine Option"

Scotty, we need more power

The A330 was announced in 2022! And had allegedly already been worked on for some time.... I'd like to think that by now, they'd hardly be starting "from scratch" on it...what are you talking about???

Hello everyone, It’s really great to see FSLabs making a comeback with the A321, and soon the NEO version as well. I truly hope it will be an excellent aircraft. But I’m here to ask about the A330-300 for MSFS2020. Every day, I check here hoping to find news about the A330, but so far I haven’t seen any definite confirmation that you’re working on it. The aircraft is truly underrepresented in MSFS2020, and the versions available from other developers, even those on 24, don’t really meet expectations. We’re looking forward to an A330 at FSLabs quality. I truly hope FSLabs takes into consideration all the simmers who have been eagerly waiting and asking about the A330. There have been many comments and questions, and it would really mean a lot to the community to receive a clear and honest response regarding whether the A330 is part of your plans or not. We’re genuinely looking forward to it, and thank you for your continued hard work.

Nice little trip to do and makes it more immersive having two really high quality sceneries. I also messed around and after a lot of trial and error added some wing vapour, contrails and engine smoke which really does bring it to life. A very lightly loaded G-BOAD got up to Mach 2 in 11 minutes from brakes off and spent 20 minutes at 60,000ft. Astonishing machine.

The days pass and there is no precise information or hypothetical release dates....
