Some news from VSkyLabs this week: The EuroFOX has received a minor update, which addresses issues with the aircraft’s magnetos.

The update was announced on Facebook earlier this week, with news of another, more major update on the horizon:

“The VSKYLABS EuroFOX Project is undergoing a major update these days, which will include interiors/cockpit 3D refurbish and additional PBR normals. This update will be, as in all of the VSKYLABS projects, free to all owners. Release window for the update is aimed for June/July 2018.”

Skyline Simulations KCVG previews

It seems to be a permanent fixture of the Threshold news recap: Skyline Simulations have released new previews of their upcoming scenery release Cincinnati KCVG. The new screenshots, posted on Thursday, depict progress on Concourse C at CVG.

“Some shots of the now complete Concourse C!”

Follow progress on KCVG and other projects on the Skyline Simulations Facebook page.

RD Studios KRAL: new screenshots

KRAL Riverside by RD Studios has reached another milestone - the control tower modelling has been completed, and a price announced.

The news was posted on the X-Plane.org forums yesterday:

“Another milestone done: the control tower! I'm happy because it turned out looking really nice - which is great, because it's a very prominent structure. Price: just as Half Moon Bay, it will probably be 19.90 USD. The Los Angeles object pack is free, so it won't change the price, since it's only a lite value added product, the main attraction is the airport.”

See the thread on the X-Plane.org forums.
