Previews

Magknight continues to provide development updates for the 787 update they will be bringing to X-Plane 11 in the future. The new previews shared Mitchell Chen’s Twitter (@sp33dm) highlight the new wing modelling that will be included in a future update to the aircraft.

From what we can see, the new renders showcase an improvement in the overall quality of the modelling with a lot more detail in the wings than what was present beforehand.

As the development of the aircraft update continues, you can view a little more on the FMS/EFB update that the team are working on for the aircraft type.

In the meantime, you can purchase Magknight’s 787-9 Aviator Edition from the X-Plane Store for $44.95

Developer Stairport Sceneries has announced that their upcoming Greater Moncton Airport (CYQM) is now in beta for X-Plane 11. The Canadian airport sits on the East of the country with various airlines visiting including Air Canada Express, Canadian North and PAL Airlines. In addition to passenger traffic, the airport sees various cargo operators such as UPS and FedEx Express visit.

Whilst specific product details are missing from the Facebook post shared by Stairport Sceneries, the screenshots indicate that there will be HD texturing for the building and ground areas, various bits of ground clutter and use of seasonal textures to represent the snow-covered winters.

Finally, the post confirmed that whilst the beta for the X-Plane 11 version is ongoing, there will also be a Microsoft Flight Simulator version coming in the near future.
