DreamFoil Creations has expressed optimism of releasing a major upgrade to their Schweizer S300CBi, which is currently available for X-Plane 10.

The developer began the final development run - including a beta programme - one month ago, and listed large changelogs between subsequent test versions.

An eighteen-month silence was broken on their Facebook page too, with screenshots to boot. DreamFoil stated a new iteration of their S300CBi is on the way, and also mentioned the Eurocopter AS350 B3 Plus is being worked on again.

"Fred here, It's been a long period of silence, but we are finally returning! this is new S300CBi coming for X-Plane 11 in next days, with completely redesigned PBR textures, taking advantage of EFM (Experimental Flight Model), fully compatible with VR including SmartMenu, CropDuster version, Panel color variations and many other improvements.

"For those wondering, I also restarted work on AS350B3+ XP11 version and its coming next 😉"

Version 1.1 is to be compatible with the current release of X-Plane 11, as well as the Vulkan API.

"We are almost there!" the wrote the developer to the thread today also. "I believe the major bugs have been fixed, will work on manuals today, maybe with some luck we will have a release this weekend."

Further information about the update, including the lengthy changelogs, further screenshots and information can be found over at the x-plane.org forum.

Perhaps DreamFoil Creations' most talked-about announcement at the time was that of the Embraer 120.

There has been very little to no word from the developer since its announcement, though the developer has said through a comment on today's Facebook announcement:

"Both EMB110 and 120 are still on their way, we're a "team of two", me (Fred) and Lidimar, I do the helicopters and Lidimar did the EMB110 and is working on 120, but we don't have an ETA because he's busy with college, we will make an announcement when more info is available."
