FA50 v1.0.3 is here ✈️

A month after launch and twelve updates deep, we're calling it: 1.0.3 is our first properly stable release for both MSFS 2020 and 2024.

Here's some of what's new and improved:

🛩️ Autopilot & Flight Director - More reliable altitude capture in VS and Climb modes, cleaner NAV/LOC tracking, a preselectable approach course, and command bars that behave correctly at high bank angles.

🛠️ EFB upgrades - Imperial/Metric toggle across all instruments, plus VR-friendly scaling for the tablet and speed card.

🎚️ Cockpit realism - Working windshield wipers, functional COM volume k***s (SayIntentions-compatible), smoother altimeter roll-over, and proper external hardware trim support (SPAD, MobiFlight, FSUIPC, and more).

🔊 Reworked sound - A more realistic engine light-off and a wind-dominated cabin feel instead of that airliner drone.

✈️ Flight model tuning - Reduced crosswind sensitivity at low speeds, fixed the pitch-up tendency on landing, and more realistic speedbrake behavior.

Massive thanks to everyone who flew the experimental builds and sent feedback - a huge amount of this came straight from you.

We're heading into summer, so updates will slow down for a bit, but the FA50 isn't done yet. 🌤️

Video preview time! 🥳
See what we have been cooking up sound wise for our FA50 project. In this clip, you can hear the aircraft coming to life - starting with battery power, the characteristic spool-up of the standby ADI, and the external APU start sequence.

We've got another FA50 development update for you - this time with a focus on where the project currently stands and how that affects our release timing.

Over the past weeks, development has moved into a more advanced and demanding phase. We are now actively testing all phases of flight, supported by real-world pilots, mechanics, and a group of experienced beta testers who provide detailed and constructive feedback. The aircraft is being flown across a wide range of regions, weather conditions, and operational scenarios, helping us validate behavior that only becomes apparent once the aircraft is used extensively.

From a systems perspective, most systems are now implemented. Current work is focused on refinement, resolving edge cases, and addressing issues that emerge as systems interact with each other. A particular area of attention is autopilot tuning, where we are ensuring stable and predictable behavior across all modes and phases of flight.

On the visual side, 3D modeling is largely complete, both inside and out. Sound design remains a significant work item, as the sound set still requires further tuning to accurately represent the aircraft in different operating conditions.

In addition to the aircraft itself, there are still important elements to complete outside of core development. This includes a comprehensive manual and structured tutorials. As this is our first aircraft project, we consider proper documentation and onboarding an essential part of the overall product, not an optional extra.

With this in mind, we want to clarify our release expectations. While a release within this year was communicated as a development target, it was never a promise. At this stage, meeting that target would require compromises we are not willing to make. We prefer to take the necessary time to complete the remaining work to the standard we expect for our our first release.

Development continues steadily, and we will keep you informed as the project progresses. More updates to follow 😊
