Welcome to the new year, dear flight simulator pilots. Are you as excited as we are? It's going to be a great year with great new products, new innovations and a lot of great flights. And we at FSS will also be contributing to this - there's a lot on the roadmap.But while you are certainly eagerly awaiting the custom FMS (we already presented the schedule for this in December 2023), we have "just" retextured the cockpit - a frequently requested improvement from our users. We are pleased to inform you that the new look is now available in all E-Jet variants in version 0.9.23.
In addition to the usual fixes and improvements, we have also included new liveries. We have also started working on the promised Freighter variant. More information and screenshots will hopefully come in the next update.
For now, have fun with the new cockpit and a good start into 2024.
