Fresh off of their display booth at FSExpo and we have another update from Just Flight’s team on their Fokker F70 and F100 project. The latest update gives us some more details about the project and talks about the systems too.

Systems and visuals on display

First, let’s talk about the project itself. It is now in beta and they report that the cabin area is now complete with some different cargo and door configurations being tied to liveries for accuracy. Lighting and systems are still in development though, as you’ll see in the screenshots, the aircraft is now functioning and flying routes as part of their testing regime. Flight model is being tuned and is now reportedly within 95% of published figures. The F100 is somewhat unique with a Flap 0 takeoff configuration thanks to its thicker wing though the same wing is less efficient at high altitudes and can take a very long time to climb to 35,000 feet. Fascinating.

Another area of testing is the performance of the aircraft. Just Flight say that they are within 5% of the performance offered by the default 747 and 787 aircraft in MSFS. That suggests good things for the aircraft’s frame rate performance.

The rest of the update is a walkthrough of the way that the aircraft is flown on a route. You’ll learn about how some of the autopilot modes work, how the aircraft will behave, and some of the unique methods that the F70 and F100 employ to perform.

Just Flight have mentioned that this is their most complex airliner project and that the partial glass cockpit setup is a bit different than the gauges and dials that they are used to. Still, it sounds like they’ve adapted well and have fully embraced the quirky early 90s airliner.

One other note. In their social media update they mention that the aircraft series is going to be offered individually or as part of a bundle.

The F100 Professional will be the first of the two aircraft to go on sale and will be followed closely by the F70 Professional. Each will be a separate competitively priced aircraft, with a money-saving bundle also available for users who want to fly both.

No pricing has been announced yet so we’ll have to see how the price shakes out and how it ends up comparing to competing products.
