2022 Development Update
As we approach the end of 2021 it's time to look ahead to next year and what it might hold! Back in September, we announced the 2021/22 development roadmap. With the impending launch of the brand new A220-300, we're planning the next phase of development.
A220 Sounds
A question we get often is whether or not we'll have sounds specific to each engine type. This depends on many variables. For the A220 we are hoping to receive and implement a new, accurate sound pack in time for release. If we're unable for whatever reason, they will be added in a subsequent app update when we're able.
What's Next
Up first after the A220 will be the F/A-18. Which variant exactly remains to be seen and our team will conduct a community poll to decide which one comes out on top for the rework.
Next in the pipe for our 3D artists will be the E-Jet family. As we know from the previous aircraft builds, reworking the entire family of E-Jets is a time-consuming effort. As a result, our efforts for this rework will be focused on the E175 and E190 variants. By building both of these variants it allows us to cater to a much wider audience in terms of carriers and regions. With the E175 used almost exclusively in the United States and the E190 servicing other parts of the world, our team believes this is a great balance of development time, inclusivity, and in-app bandwidth consumption.
More details and works in progress will emerge as we progress.
