[LIST] Got Friends: Development Hangar

I’m seeing an autopilot in the Edgley video above.

Have they added an autopilot to the stock Edgley, or is that a mod?

Thanks!

This is not the Orbx Edgley Optica. This is an entirely different rendition of it by our small team. It is a more modern vision of the Optica. One that would have been a possibility if the original manufacturer was not riddled in early financial hardships.

Loads of features on this version. :slight_smile: I kindly implore you to watch a few review videos on YouTube to see if she meets your needs.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!

The dog and the cat are cute, but can I turn them off to add a copilot or fly solo without them?

Edit: Just saw the answer to my question above. I can turn them off. I’m in! Will buy it later this afternoon! Cheers!

Thanks for the Pet workaround. Much appreciated!

Updated List

Just picked up a Bee Geeeeeeee! Last day of the special offer folks :face_with_monocle:

BTW the plane still pulls to the right even with my RPM all the way back and no throttle. Not sure if that fix actually worked with 2.0.1. I have a 35% deadzone too. Other then that the plane is a blast to fly.

I do hope the DA50 will move to the in progress list. It’s by far the most exiting one on the list and I suspect it would also appeal to a wide user base.

We are actively working on it, it’s just not in the forefront of development because it’s still under 3D Modeling. Once in game for further development, the real fun starts :slight_smile:

Hmm… there is a guy named Mike. And his name beckons me. Not sure why. Hmmmm.

I’m hoping the mystery STOL plane has a name that rhymes with “Flappy”.

AIRCRAFT UNDER DEVELOPMENT:

WASM gauge is in final stage of production and the Mini-500 will be native to MSFS without the use of 3rd Party Applications. This will also be AirlandFS Profile compatible with WASM integration. This will not be releasing on Xbox until official WASM support or Helicopter support.
  • Discus-2c FES (Premium) is in final stages of development. Beta will be kicking off as soon as we implement a few more critical features. This will be releasing on the official marketplace bundled with an upgraded standard (non-FES) version on both PC and Xbox.

  • Grumman F4F-4 is in sound stage of development. Our team is scouting out samples for original Wildcat sounds and working on WWISE packaging.

  • Asobo Porter Realism Mod is undergoing testing and our team has nothing new to report on this improvement mod.

  • Mike Patey’s Draco has been delayed indefinitely. We are awaiting sources of Draco data in order to continue developing an accurate experience. This is hard to find due to there being little information and no active aircraft.

  • Stemme S12-G has been delayed indefinitely. This may change in the future with further recieved contract information, however development is canceled at this time.

  • SG-38 has been delayed due to lack of community support.

  • DA-50 RG is in modeling phase of development. Our team has no additional previews at this time.

  • Developement on an unannounced STOL aircraft has started development. Modeling is 80% Complete.

  • Announcing the U15 Phoenix S-LSA Motorglider. This aircraft is fully 3D Modeled and our team is working on textures, animations, and XML support. Due to Stemme’s current situation, this will be a nice motorglider release to the community while we wait for more answers. The U15 is a two seater light sport motorglider being manufactured by Phoenix Air and Pure Flight.

■■■■, I hate to hear that about the Stemme. I really looked forward to that one.

We still have a fair amount of development done on it. If we hear back from Stemme and manufacturer support continues, we will definitely re-open the project. For now, our team can’t spend anymore resources on an unknown project.

really stoked for the STOL plane, regardless of which plane it is. Although i do hope it rhymes with Trooper Bowl.

Bummed to hear you’re having difficulty getting data for Draco. It seems to me like Mike Patey would have been willing to help but maybe he’s just too busy or has other reasons?

I would assume a mixture of things. Mike is a very busy man and we do try to not slide into people busy schedules before we have to. He knows of the project and has shown interest. Once we unveil our next STOL project, we may be able to find ways to gather more unique data. Really hard since Draco has been buried from the accident. Hoping for Draco-X after Mike Patey’s rebuild and more interest is sparked! :slight_smile:

Sad to here about the Stemme news…
