One of the leading aircraft development groups in the community, FlightFactor, has earlier this week for the first time showcased one of their aircraft in the next generation of X-Plane as well as has further detailed compatibility of their addons with the platform.
The developers have last time addressed this topic back in February 2022 in a live Q&A when they have merely confirmed, that they plan on supporting the platform once it is publicly released. Clearly, the plans have changed as we already have some previews of their aircraft, from X-Plane 12, available.
In addition, Ramzess from FlightFactor has also mentioned that both the 757 and 767 will be available and ready upon the initial launch. However, to be precise, and maybe a bit nitpicky, he wrote: “we can safely say that the models will be flyable in X-Plane 12 at sim launch!“.
It has not been further detailed what he meant by “flyable“. When it comes to pricing, the developers have previously announced that updates will be paid if there is a lot of work to be done. Unfortunately, no new information was disclosed on that topic.
If you’re wondering about the well-known Airbus A320 Ultimate, no new information was uncovered, however, the team has guaranteed that there will be a follow-up with more details.
