Nachdem es länger still war um FSLabs, hat die Mannschaft um Lefteris Kalamaras jetzt ein größeres Update für die Airbus-Reihe veröffentlicht. Dieses soll die Integration von Hardware verbessern, die FMGC-Logik erweitern und den „bald anstehenden“ Release der Sharklet-Version vorbereiten, das hat Lefteris Kalamaras zumindest jetzt im FSLabs-Forum angekündigt.

Desweiteren solle der FSLabs mit dem Update die Fähigkeit besitzen, anhand seiner Sim-Situation den passenden Panel-State zu laden: Auf der Runway zum Beispiel mit laufenden Triebwerken, am Gate im Turn-Around-Modus. Nutzer von VR-Brillen könnte das Update ebenfalls entgegenkommen, da das graue Feld, das bei VR wohl dargestellt wurde, jetzt mit dem Fix verschwunden sei.

Geduld ist für Fans der Concorde gefragt. Hier macht Kalamaras aus dem „will“ ein „may“ im Bezug auf einen Release im Jahr 2021 – es würde aber weiterhin stetig an diesem Projekt gearbeitet, versichert der FSLabs-Chef.

Das Update für den Airbus gibt es wie gewohnt über die Download-Page von FSLabs.
