BlueBird Simulations has released a short video on YouTube. This previews the sounds and some lighting being worked on. BlueBird Simulations is a development team working on the Boeing 757-200 and -300 for MSFS. They are also working on the B767, which is still in early development stages.
They are an experienced group of aviation enthusiasts with over 25 years of expertise. They strive to create immersive and realistic environments for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Using their extensive knowledge, they ensure that every aspect is created to replicate the real-world aviation experience.
BlueBird Simulations May Mini update
The video released by BlueBird showcases some sounds and lighting currently being worked on by their developers. At the beginning of the video, they preview some sounds of the B757. They mention ground reflections, which is when the sound reflects from the ground, and you hear the aircraft sound and the reflection at a delay. This delay causes a “comb filter effect” when the aircraft flies over.
That was all for the sound previews, but they then went to show the external lighting. According to the developers, the external lighting is around 95% complete. The interior lights are also still being worked on currently. There was also a mention of there being over 25 dimmers in the cockpit and cabin for the lights.
According to BlueBird, they have reduced the light bloom effect so that the lights are not overpowering. While the pilots may not often use the light circuit breakers, BlueBird has hooked up over 20 working circuit breakers for the lighting. This decision was made to go more in-depth and add more immersion to the overall experience.
However, the logo lights circuit breakers are located in the electronics bay, which the team did not think was necessary to model. One of the circuit breakers was previewed with the right position light being turned off. This was all that was shown off in the video, but they said more information on the B757 and B767 will be shared at FSExpo.
