Asobo Studio has announced Sim Update III is now available for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator platform.
The new version adds a host of features such as visible contrails on the player s aircraft and an option to match aircraft to specific real-world examples. Refinements have been made to the in-sim aircraft such as a more accurate centre of gravity, fuselage wear on older aircraft results in higher parasitic drag and adjustments have been made to the control surface limits.
Various improvements and fixes continue to be made to the avionics, autopilot and FMS systems along with additional functionality. The glass cockpits for general aviation aircraft have also seen some bug fixes applied and the engine modelling and flight dynamics for general aviation and airliners have been improved as well as updates to the aircraft lighting.
