Development Update #9 - Tuesday 8th December 2020
Hello!
In the final development update of the year, we are excited to announce our roadmap for 2021 and a brief reflection on 2020.
Just yesterday we released v1.10 of the iniSimulations A300-600R(F) ON THE LINE. We hope you are enjoying this update and thank you for your time and patience whilst this was in development during the latter part of this year.
We have seen 1 or 2 minor things arise and will push an update for this out shortly. We thank you once again for your patience with this.
iniSimulations A310-300
As you may be aware, we teased a photo last week of our next project and today we’re really proud to announce that we are, as many have guessed, making the iniSimulations A310-300!
This product will be a standalone product from the A300 with a 35% off discount for our A300 customers. We are also going to offer a discount for A310 customers to purchase the A300. They can purchase the A300 for 25% off.
This product consists of many new and improved 3D elements including a new wing and a full overhaul of the exterior textures! We also will be introducing enhanced wingflex and of course the long-range capabilities the A310-300 is known for; additionally also utilizing the experimental flight model present in the most recent version of X-Plane 11.
This is just a brief list with an extensive, more detailed changelog to come soon. We’re also pleased to report that the base package will consist of both the freighter and passenger as we did with the A300; with the freighter releasing first and the passenger variant coming soon after.
We’re also pleased to announce that we will be making two expansions off the base packages of both the A300 & A310 and a brand new family of airliners. What these are and what they pertain to will be disclosed in January/February 2021! Work on all of these are in full swing at this moment in time.
iniSimulations A380
Moving onto the project we get asked about all the time - the A380!
The Airbus A380 is a very complex aircraft and these things do take time; and more importantly we want to do it properly. At this time we have no ETA set for this internally and are working through this project alongside our other engagements. Some of the core team members responsible are not involved in our other engagements on a day-to-day basis.
This is probably not the update you were expecting but we leave you with some screenshots of our A380 model only in Microsoft Flight Simulator - exploring the new environment the new sim has provided. We are not promising anything, like other developers, as the simulator is still maturing with things changing on a frequent basis.
P.S We are always looking for talented creators within the flight simulation community to join our experienced team and help drive us in bringing excellent products to the community! If you are interested as an individual or as a company in working together please do contact us: inibuilds.com/careers.
iniScene and Shoreham
iniScene, our scenery development branch, will be getting a lot of attention in 2021 with many projects planned for both X-Plane 11 and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
As we announced in October, iniScene Shoreham has been in testing since October with a few things being re-worked as the SDK for Microsoft Flight Simulator evolves.
That rounds up for what we have for you in this year's final development update. We thank you immensely for your support during this incredibly challenging year for us all.
Our team will be out of the office from December 21st, 2020 - January 4th, 2021 for the holidays, more information can be found here: inibuilds.com/holiday-update.
