Neues von FS-Labs

Lefteris Kalamaras und sein Team haben nach längerer Funkstille ein umfassendes Update (v5.0.1.151) für die Airbusse im PREPAR3D v4 und v5 veröffentlicht. Das Wartungsupdate behebt einige Probleme und soll die Busse für die bevorstehenden Sharklet Busse A320-X und A321-X vorbereiten.

[…] I would also like to mention that work on the Concorde-X continues – I mentioned in our previous announcement that it “will be released this coming year” – please replace the “will” with “may” as life in general sometimes might not agree fully with our planning strategy, just so that expectations are not set in a way that people become upset and disappointed. […]
Auszug aus FOrum Statement

Und auch bei der Concorde soll es weitergehen. Allerdings drückt Lefteris die Erwartungshaltungen leicht nach unten. Ein Release für dieses Jahr ist möglich aber kann nicht fest zugesichert werden.

Das Update er Airbusse findet Ihr wie gewohnt im Downloadbereich den FS-Labs.
