Just Flight A300 Prepar3D V5 Cockpit Previews

Just Flight have been busy showing off their A300 in Prepar3D and the latest round of screenshots come from the inside this time. Showcasing off some of the finer details within the cockpit, Just Flight has put together a series of images highlighting various aspects of the current work in progress.

The images don’t appear to be from within the sim, but from the rendering software used to model and texture the aircraft. As said on their Facebook page, work is very much in progress, with more screenshots to follow in the coming weeks.

Alongside the previews, Just Flight updated the product page highlighting some key new details about the product. The aircraft will feature realistic 4K textures with PBR materials, along with bump mapping for a true 3D feeling. Alongside that, the aircraft will feature realistic wing-flex, authentic checklists and a panel state system which will save when you exit the aircraft leaving it in the same state for when you enter it next.

You can see the full product page on Just Flight’s website. No word on a release date at this time. An X-Plane version is also being developed but more details on that will follow in the future.
