If you could add an EF-111 Model to a later update, that’d be amazing, also my landing gear turning is locked after landing for some reason…

Maybe one of the developers will take pity and makes some minor fixes for a good plane (GPS course, shortcuts) . I had hoped for the 1.3.0 update - but nothing comes. I would be very grateful for the minor fixes.
That would be nice, but I fear we cannot hope for much.
There is also a bug with the landing light in FS2024 bleeding into the cockpit (when gear retracted)
The developer lives in the Ukraine, so I expect he has many life challenges at the moment with the war.

I didn’t know that. I understand this bad situation, but maybe one of the developpers can say two, three words, e.g. impossible, later, try yourself. Excuse my impatient.

Hi everyone,
glad to let you know that we’re doing fine. I wouldn’t say these are the easiest times for us, but we’re still moving forward with our work.
We’re preparing to release a new aircraft soon, and the announcement will follow shortly.
Right after that, we plan to deliver the promised updates for our previous products, as well as their versions for MSFS 2024.
Thank you for remembering us and for your support!

B-52 looks awesome! Saw it in the FS2020 marketplace today and I’m excited for it to come to 2024. Will the 2024 version be a native 2024 SDK aircraft?
So I was going to put this under the B-52 thread put for some reason I can’t reply there so I just decided to do it here. I just bought the B-52 and it looks absolutely incredible I just have a few questions. First is there any plans to add the iconic exhaust smoke? It looks weird without it. Second is there any plans to fix the sound? Cause it sounds just like the 747. Finally is there anymore liveries planed? Other then that its a pretty good plane it visually its incredibly!
First of all, thank you for your kind words!
-
Yes, we will add the signature smoke effect in the next update.
-
The sound will also be improved.
The current sound is not the default B747 one — we initially used the 747 as a starting point, which is why the sound bank is named “B747.” (There’s a technical limitation that prevents renaming the sound bank.)
However, most of the sounds are already customized for the B-52. -
Liveries – Yes, we are going to release a livery pack.
In addition, we plan to implement a customization feature that will allow players to change nose art and serial numbers, adding more variation to the classic gray camo.
Nearest plans:
-
Release for MSFS 2024 (using the native 2024 SDK)
-
Sound improvement
-
Customization feature
-
Weapons display (side mode)
-
Several additional gauges and systems (not implemented yet)

Hi
How long roughly will it be before it’s available in 24? Even if it’s not a native Msfs2024 product yet?
Also, if I reinstall 2020 and buy it would it then be available in 2024?
Many thanks
There will be two separate products:
-
A ported version from MSFS 2020
-
A new version built using the MSFS 2024 SDK
Both versions will be identical in functionality.
Regarding the timeline — the MSFS 2020 version is already mostly compatible with MSFS 2024.
We are currently running full testing and fixing minor issues.
This version will be released soon and will be marked in the Marketplace as “Ported from 2020.”
If you already purchased the MSFS 2020 version, the ported version should automatically appear in your MSFS 2024 hangar once it becomes available.
The version built on the 2024 SDK will take a bit more time — according to our plan, no more than a month.
PS - I would ask you to switch to the original B52 Statofortress topik here

Hello so if we buy the 2020 version we will get the 2024 sdk version with no upgrade fee?
Thanks
Similar to the comment above, will the opposite be the case? Like you buy the 2024 version will you get the 2020 version for free?
Hello Mr. Al13X7895, I have purchased the F-111 on the black Friday sale and I must say it is quite enjoyable, I have a concern with the navigation though…how does it follow a Flight plan? I can have it follow a glideslope without any issue but i cannot have it automatically follow the magenta line. Is there perhaps an upcoming update or has development on the F-111 stopped completely?
We haven’t abandoned development of F111, nor our other products. We’re planning to release an update with flight plan navigation.
We can share more details on our Discord channel.
