The latest update brings a host of improvements to the cockpit, textures, and flight model.
Among the notable cockpit changes in v0.7.0 are a reworked glareshield, detailed textures, and animations for seats, side panels, and various cockpit elements, including the center MCDU and backwall. Systems enhancements include updates to the autopilot disconnect logic, FCU and FMGC systems, and new sound triggers for engine starts. Additionally, the flight model now offers improved flare logic for landings, and the EFB aircraft drawing on the service page has been updated. This update also introduces integration with SayIntentions AI, allowing premium subscribers to access ACARS CPDLC functionality.
