TFDi Design has pushed out version 1.0.9.99 via the community opt-in beta. This is the “test” bed for the upcoming release of version 1.1, which is due in just a couple of days.
Bringing an overhauled external model and a minor bug fix in preparation for 717 day on Tuesday and the release of version 1.1.
The main change of this update is obviously the new external model, and boy oh boy did it have some major rework done. Included in this rework is significant amount of detail such as rivets, seams, and dirt to exterior textures, new landing gear complete with a new gear bay and tire textures, wingflex, cabin lights on the exterior model, and fan blade blur. The full changelog of the update can be found below. Do note that all repaints prior to the new model will be incompatible and only a white livery has been provided for this beta release. It was stated that more liveries, along with the paintkit, will be available on or before 7/17.
That was all for now, but 717 day is but 2 days away so we’ll surely be hearing lots more about the 717 leading up to then. Stay tuned for the full release of v1.1, including the aircraft’s exit of open beta. A few previews of the new model can be found below!
