This week we released Version 4.704 for the IL-2 Great Battles series and with it came the release of the long awaited Sopwith Triplane for Flying Circus - Vol. II. The "Tripe" as it was famously called, has three beautiful wings! Each wing has its own ailerons making it quite maneuverable in battle with enough armament to allow its pilots to be confident in a dogfight with any adversary of the era. The Sopwith Triplane which is the final aircraft planned for Flying Circus - Vol. II and that brings the plane-set for FC2 to a total of ten. When combined with FC1 there are twenty aircraft available for WWI pilots in Great Battles! We will continue to make aircraft for Flying Circus and we remind you that we have the Sopwith Snipe and Siemens-Schuckert D.IV Collector Planes also in development for FC. And the new Western Front map for FC2 is in heavy development in partnership with Ugra Media. We hope you enjoy the Sopwith Triplane! https://il2sturmovik.com/

CR1 Software has announced that they are working on the famous Ford Trimotor, with versions for MSFS 2020, P3D v4 and v5. The models are 100% complete rebuilds, both sets will have 4AT and 5AT variants as well as military float versions and cargo and airline versions. Release is expected by early September. Air model was built for both sims using the NASA aerodynamic system that we want to use on all of our models as it translates real world data to both sims quite nicely. Also the crew and passengers will be as real looking as real humans and on later patches of the Ford will interact with the player/operator. This feature won't come within the initial release as they have to write the AI code for that to work in the two sims. But for all buyers it will come as a patch at a later date using a real software updating system. The outer skin on this add-on is fully modeled corrugated and NOT textured. Ultimate detail is all Cr1 will ever accept. After the Ford release the Zero will follow very close behind. To our loyal supporters: Hang in there with us, our supporters in the flight sim world. The projects are maturing quickly now that we have our templates built for both sims and soon the pipeline in our development process with flow at twice the speed we have been at until now. We really appreciate the support of all of you over the 22 years with both Simtech Flight Design and now Cr1-Software Ltd. With out our loyal supporters this growth and level of development would not be possible. Keep a close eye on the CR1 YouTube channel and the news section of our web site www.cr1-software.com for updates on this development and future developments that ate already underway.

Scenery developer Frank Dainese, has shown off a selection of images of his latest X-Plane 11 creation, Val d'Aosta + Matterhorn Park v.2. This will include all valleys, as well as their associated mountains: M.Rosa, Cervino, Grand Combin, Gran Paradiso, and Grivola. If this wasn't enough, Frank has also recreated all the villages, plus the entire city of Aosta, along with its monuments and airport (LIMW). The scenery will be compatible with his M.Blanc package, which completes the experience, as well as his Matterhorn Park scenery. The scenery will cover 3500 sq. km and be updated for X-Plane 12 when released. Source
