Developer Magknight has updated the community, over on the X-Plane forum, with progress to the 787’s FMS and EFB.

Magknight has shared some previews of how their new coding incorporates performance and weight/balance calculations through the use of the EFB.

Large changes to the EFB are being made, including new aircraft config system, allowing you to manage all the important aircraft loadout features from the galley to the cargo. As stated above, this update also features takeoff and landing performance calculations. Its simplicity allows the user to select their runway of choice with an intersection departure if desired. Runway conditions, winds, and automatic flap settings for flaps 5, 10, 15, 17, 18, and 20 (for some airports only) are all incorporated into the system for accurate performance calculations from within the simulator.

Developer JustSim has released Brussels Airport v2.1 for Prepar3D v5. The new update adds functionality for Prepar3D v5, along with additional changes and fixes.

The new changes include a photo background has been changed, new autogen objects have been added and the AFCAD has been modified to reflect a more accurate airport layout.

Users who own version 2 (P3Dv4+4) will be able to update for free, however, those who own the original can upgrade for €6.20 (excluding VAT). If you don’t own either, then you can buy it for €23.50.

Orbx has announced their next entry into the Swedish airport series with Malmö (ESMS) for P3Dv4+. Malmö is situated on the southwestern coast of Sweden, bordering Denmark just 47km (29 mi) from the busy Copenhagen Kastrup airport.

Malmö is considered the fourth busiest airport in Sweden in terms of passenger count. Operations in and out of Malmö include charter, domestic, and seasonal operators such as SAS operations to Stockholm, Jet Time (seasonal charter) to sunny Mediterranean destinations, and Wizz Air operate to various European destinations. For those General Aviation flyers, Malmö offers a separate runway for all your touch and go desires.

Developer Marcus Nyberg enlightens the community with superb detail surrounding the airport, PBR texturing, seasonal variations, weather-controlled ground features, and interior modeling. Marcus has included accurately placed autogen around the approach and departure ends of the runways as well as photorealistic imagery to blend seamlessly with the airport environment. Night lighting at the airport illuminates the area with both dynamic and rendered lighting to bring you the best performance out of the simulator.
