FlightSim Studio has published its latest “Status Quo” development update for Q4 2025, outlining progress made across the past year and providing an overview of what lies ahead for its product lineup, including the E-Jets, the Boeing 727, and the Tecnam project.
In its end of year message, FlightSim Studio acknowledged that 2025 has appeared relatively quiet from the outside, particularly in terms of frequent updates and fixes. However, the studio explained that the majority of development effort over the past year has been focused on a single priority: completing its custom Flight Management System for the E-Jets to a high standard. During 2025, the team released five public news and progress updates, delivered three E-Jets patches, added Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 compatibility, and published its final roadmap for the cFMS project.
E-Jets and Experimental Releases of cFMS
FlightSim Studio confirmed that the E-Jets development has entered Stage 4A of its five-stage roadmap, marking the beginning of experimental releases of the cFMS. At this stage, the studio reports that the system is now functionally complete, including full LNAV and VNAV path calculation, the complete APv2 autopilot system, and support for RNAV approaches.
This marks the first time the cFMS has reached a level of stability where the team feels comfortable releasing it more broadly to users, beyond internal and limited community testing. The experimental builds allow simmers to begin flying with the new FMS and autopilot logic while continuing to provide feedback ahead of the final v1.0 release.
FlightSim Studio reiterated its roadmap in the update, confirming that all internal and community testing stages for LNAV-only and LNAV/VNAV functionality have now been completed. Stage 4A introduces experimental public availability, with the final stage set to deliver the full cFMS and APv2 as a complete release.
727 and Version 1.1.6 Update
Beyond the E-Jets, the update also touched on the studio’s work on the Boeing 727. FlightSim Studio stated that progress on the classic trijet has continued alongside the cFMS effort, although at a slower pace than originally planned.
The team reiterated that development is ongoing, with systems and overall fidelity remaining a key focus, but noted that more substantial updates on the 727 will follow once resources begin to free up after the E-Jets FMS reaches completion.
Additionally, a fresh update for the plane was released, bringing it to version 1.1.6. We also saw 2 previews of the 727-100 in development. See all the info below.

Tecnam Project
The update also briefly referenced the studio’s Tecnam project, widely expected to be the Tecnam P2012 Traveller. As with the 727, FlightSim Studio confirmed that development is continuing, though progress has been intentionally paced while the team prioritised the E-Jets and cFMS. More detailed updates on the Tecnam are planned for the future once the current development cycle stabilises.
Events for FlightSim Studio in 2026
The team confirmed they won’t be attending FlightSimWeekend in 2026, but fully intends to attend FlightSimExpo with a booth. They intend to use the team in the first half of the year to make sure they have some great things to show off when the time is right.
