The various NG variants are now combined into a single directory, with shared cockpits, instruments and engines. ER variants do not exist at preset, but are planned.
Active Development Areas
- Porting the '3D' PFD from 777 - fortunately it's very similar to the 777
- Creating a stable AP, including autobrake, autospoiler and other automatic modes (auto-slates, flap load relief)
- Creating a working FMC and CDU
Future Development / Help Wanted
