We also hear from Headwind about the freeware Airbus A330neo currently in active development and already available on Flightsim.to.
Specifically, we take a look at the new model of the engines. The next steps before the next relevant update for the aircraft include the merging of the new wings and engines with the fuselage and the implementation of the newer version of the FlyByWire 0.7+ systems.
Recently, we published our latest interview with head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann and we heard more about Microsoft’s plans for the next few months, including World Update Australia.
