04 July 2023 - news update

[Lefteris Kalamaras]

Hello everyone,

I would like to take this opportunity to announce that our latest v213 update for the Libraries and A320-X product family is now live and available (through the experimental channel) through our FSL Control Center ONLY.

This update fixes several issues reported by our customers, primarily with CTR TK FEEDG erroneous FWC messages, Auto Trim issue and the CLR button light on the ECP not extinguishing properly. Performance should also be improved as well.

Our Concorde aircraft for Prepar3D v5 is in its late beta stages and we are anticipating it to be promoted to "Release Candidate" status within the next few days. Once that happens, we will focus entirely on fixing issues that are blocking release, so we expect it to reach your hands soon after that.

I would also like to take a minute to discuss our plans to integrate our products into Lockheed Martin's newly released Prepar3D v6 (P3Dv6) simulation platform:

As mentioned before, while development of our Concorde title was ongoing, our development and innovation efforts have focused in bringing all new versions of our existing product lineup to Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS). MSFS, with its sophisticated graphics, real-world mapping, and an immersive user experience, aligns well with our aim to provide customers once again with highly realistic and engaging flight simulation experiences. We believe that our product range will significantly enhance the capabilities and realism of MSFS, thereby offering added value to our users.

While we understand and acknowledge the potential of P3Dv6, at this point in time, our resources and attention are devoted to maximizing the features and compatibility of our products with MSFS. Therefore, given the significant amount of work required to bring full compatibility to our products for P3Dv6, we have decided to revisit the possibility of adapting our lineup for P3Dv6 once we have successfully executed our current focus.

It is important to clarify that this does not imply any permanent disassociation from the P3Dv6 platform. Rather, it's a strategic decision to prioritize resources, assuring that we bring forth the best possible product enhancements to our users, one platform at a time. P3Dv6 remains a vital element in our long-term platform strategy, and we look forward to exploring its potential in due course.

We appreciate your understanding and patience and promise to keep everyone abreast of our progress. We eagerly anticipate the successful introduction of our product range to MSFS, followed by a careful consideration of any possible P3Dv6 adaptations.

As always, thank you for your continuous trust and support!
