We start with DC Designs, which is working on the decals, rivets, and panel lines of its e F-4 Phantom.
The developer will implement the correct mid-air refueling methods for each version, with the upper-mid-fuselage re-fuelling door for the USAF and the nose-mounted probe for US Navy and Royal Air Force.
The F4E variant won’t have the leading-edge slats included in the later variants, as it was in the real world, and DC Designs is planning to simulate the departure stalls the aircraft was known for.
You can see a few screenshots below.
We also got a development update from Fenix Simulations about its excellent Airbus A320
Unfortunately, work on the IAE engines and the new engine model has been slowed down by the war in Ukraine, as the lead developer lives there and they’re affected by frequent lack of power and heating. That being said, work is continuing when possible and an important development milestone was passed yesterday.
The EFB tablet is also being extensively reworked to improve performance, scalability, and maintainability. Future features will include a more robust state-saving system.
Fenix is also engaged in a major visual upgrade to the aircraft, which already looks fantastic.
Last, but not least, FS Formosa released another package set in Taiwan, including Qimei Airport (RCCM) and Wangan Airport (RCWA), and scenery for the southern part of the Penghu archipelago.
