Dass Just Flight an der Fokker Jet-Reihe arbeitet, ist ja nicht neu. Bereits im vergangenen Jahr haben wir immer wieder über die Fokker 28 Fellowship berichtet. Im Juni 2022 wurde dann auch bekannt, dass Just Flight an deren Nachfolgergeneration arbeitet – den Fokker 70 und 100. Gestern gab es nun den ersten Eintrag im gestarteten Development-Blog.
Cockpit und Exterieur komplett - Zusammen mit Liveries im Test
Der erste Schritt ist also nun komplett. Das Modell des Cockpits und das Exterieur der Fokker 100 sind komplett und bereits aktiv im Test, ebenso die Liveries, welche bei Release von Haus aus mitgeliefert werden sollen. Als nächstes stehen Arbeiten am Modell der kleineren Schwester, der Fokker 70, sowie der detaillierten Passagierkabine an.
Previews zu Liveries der niederländischen Flugzeug-Ikone, enthalten u.a. aktuelle, wie auch vormalige Betreiber der Fokker 100. Mit dabei sind Air Berlin (opr by Germania), KLM UK, British Airways (opr TAT), Alliance Air, Qantas Link, American Airlines und Air France Régional. Es ist aber davon auszugehen, dass es noch einige mehr bei Release sein werden, fehlen doch die Klassiker Austrian und KLM Cityhopper.
Feature-Liste veröffentlicht
Erste Previews zu den Systemen und der Fokker 70, sollen in einem späteren Development Update folgen. Die Liste mit den zu erwartenden Features, hat Just Flight jedoch bereits veröffentlicht:
Model
- Fokker 70 and 100 variants
- Accurately modelled using real-world aircraft plans and comprehensive photography of the real aircraft
- Realistic animations including all passenger, service and cargo doors, control surfaces and mechanisms, distinctive lift-dumpers and tail-mounted airbrake
- 4k and 8k textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity, with decals used for high-resolution text
- Full support for MSFS visual icing effects and ground services support
- Realistic, dynamic wing-flex
- Custom ground equipment (GPU, cones and chocks)
- Detailed passenger cabin and galley
Cockpit
- Captain, Co-Pilot and jump-seat positions modelled with all switches, knobs and levers animated and functional
- A truly 3D cockpit environment right down to accurately modelled circuit breakers and screw heads – every instrument is constructed fully in 3D with smooth animations
- Authentic gauges and navigational equipment, including RMI (VOR/ADF), PFD/ND/ECAM and FMS
- Realistic autoflight system including lateral and vertical navigation modes and autothrottle
- Cockpit textures feature wear and tear based on reference photos taken in the real aircraft to produce an authentic environment
- Aircraft state system which will automatically save the aircraft state whenever a flight is saved and reload it whenever that flight is loaded
- Aircraft configuration system which allows you to choose between ‚Cold & Dark‘, ‘Turnaround’ or ‚Ready for Take-off‘
- Many features have been added to help with usability such as the ability to hide the control yokes for a better view of the instruments and pre-set angled views for the overhead and centre pedestal, and a hidden clickspot for setting all altimeters
- Tablet EFB for controlling various aircraft states, options and payloads, with Navigraph and SimBrief integration and a moving map

Eine Fokker mit 3D Cockpit? Das ich das noch erleben darf haha^^
Kann der Flieger VNAV und Holdings?
Realistic autoflight system including lateral and vertical navigation modes and autothrottle
Super, na geht doch!
Ahhhhh ich liebe die Fokker 100 – so ein schöner Flieger – wirklich
Der sollte wohl gut umzusetzen sein. hat er nicht annähernd die Systemtiefe eines A350.
Hatte eine sehr angehme Bestuhlung. Bin von TXL nach LICA mit Germania und mit KLM nach EHAM geflogen.
