Active Development
- Implement Weather and Terrain APIs (Wishlist LT #1 – Partial) | SU 10 +
- WASM modules will soon have access to terrain & weather data. Once complete, we will evaluate how to best provide this info in JavaScript.
- Chinese Localization (Wishlist LT #4) | SU 10
- Delayed from SU 9, pending confirmation on when it will be delivered from vendor, integrated and shipped. Targeting SU 10.
- DirectX12 on PC (Wishlist LT #6) | SU 10 +
- Stability, memory allocation and overall optimization improvements are ongoing.
- Cloud Layer Improvements (Bugs LT #2, #17) | SU 10
- We are fine-tuning the cloud layer system to be more precise and incremental. The layer will be much thinner at the sea level and thicker as we go to higher altitudes. The updated system will help better depict a realistic cloud coverage at low altitude.
- Bush Trips (Bugs 3 Months #12) | SU 10
- We are aware of issues related to bush trip activities, especially around progress, resume and restarts. Goal is to improve the overall experience.
- DLSS (Wishlist LT #20) | SU 10
- This is almost ready, and we are fine-tuning the final implementation on PC.
- WASM Support on Xbox (Wishlist Last 3 Months #21 ) | SU 10
- We are working on a solution to bring WASM add-ons to the Xbox platforms.
- Helicopters are a Must (Wishlist LT #2) | Q4 2022
- Initial propeller update + CFD integration are progress towards a more realistic helicopter simulation in game.
- Gliders (Wishlist LT #11, #31) | Q4 2022
- We are actively working on gliders and associated features that will bring several improvements to the simulator (thermals, FLARM) while. We also aim to support tow planes and winch launches.
