FSS Status Quo H1 2026

FSS Project Status Update – H1 2026 Hello everyone, this is our first bigger status update this year, and yes, we know it took a while. A lot has been going on at FSS during the last months. Some of it is visible in the aircraft, some of it is deep inside the systems, tools, workflows, and future planning. Not all of this is easy to show in screenshots, but it is important work for where we want to go. Many of you follow more than one FSS project, so we want to give you a broader overview of what is happening, what we are currently focusing on, and what comes next. As always, aircraft development has a habit of making the final stretch feel like a project of its own. But the direction is clear: we want to build aircraft that we can continue to support, improve, and stand behind for the long term.

E-Jets The E-Jets are now very close to being feature complete. Most of the major functionality we wanted for version 1.0 is implemented or already in an advanced state. However, there are still two areas which need a lot of attention: remaining WASM crashes and a rather stubborn autopilot. For the autopilot, we decided not to continue patching around the existing limitations. Instead, we are now rewriting the autopilot logic from the ground up. The new autopilot is being developed without dependency on the default MSFS autopilot logic. This gives us much more control over the aircraft behavior. It also means that we can use the same foundation again in future FSS projects. Of course, this is not the quickest solution in the short term. But we believe it is the correct solution for the long term. Once this work is finished and tested properly, we can consider the E-Jets v1.0 milestone as completed. After that, we can focus more clearly on a native MSFS 2024 version. We know that many of you have waited a long time for this point. It has also taken longer than we wanted. But the current work is not about adding more and more features. It is about making the aircraft stable and strong enough to move forward in the right way.

Boeing 727 v2 We have also started work on a new native MSFS 2024 version of the Boeing 727. This will not only be a simple compatibility upgrade. The new version is planned to include new textures, an updated 3D model, and several smaller and bigger technical improvements. We are also planning to add the ADV version with auxiliary tanks and subsequently take this as the new base for the…
