XP12 Roadmap :
Our next stop will be 12.4.0 – The C-Check Update. So named because a C-Check is a periodic inspection of an aircraft after a certain amount of time or cycles. That’s what we feel this update is all about, a more comprehensive check-over of the sim, our aircraft and avionics!
We think this will be an exciting update for users. Whilst we can’t disclose all the features just yet
, we can reveal that we will be taking another look at our A330. The A330 is unashamedly our baby, being one of our most complex aircraft to date… and a really important benchmark for developers on current X-Plane technology. So we knew we could add more to the A330 experience!
This will include a look at resolving the Autopilot stability during in-cloud turbulence, some more intricate system reviews and Hoppie integration for the first time ever in an X-Plane default aircraft! So VATSIM users will be able to fully enjoy ACARS in the A330.
Our default Garmin 430/530 will also receive some updated functionality, including WXR and TCAS overlays. In addition, users can expect to see a new enhanced airport, and some… interesting surprises.
And of course, we have several long-term developments too! Whilst we’re not quite ready to talk about them in full detail just yet, we are making progress towards them. Most recently, with 12.3.2, which included in-app purchases for demo users looking to purchase X-Plane 12, and is the very first instance of the X-Plane Store. Whilst we still have a lot of work ahead, this is a significant milestone in our phased release plan, and we look forward to sharing more in the future! This update lays a large chunk of the foundation needed to make that happen!
And of course… we hear you on scenery! Next-gen scenery is our top priority, however, this is no walk in the park. With our current DSF scenery system being roughly around 20 years old, there is a significant amount of work needed for a more modern system. Every single update so far has had something either openly or quietly added in the background to get us closer towards this. Rest assured, we have plans for this…
