As far as system improvements go, the PW update brings a full Equal Time Point (ETP) simulation, with sequenced ETP calculation, wind-aware prediction logic, automatic re-initialization on load, corrected UTC and timing behavior, and dynamic recalculation based on aircraft performance and route progression. Furthermore, the developers have refined the Flight Management System with improved fuel planning, vertical navigation, and route editing. The holding pattern logic has also been improved.

Vertical and lateral navigation were tweaked to ensure better waypoint handling, corrected constraint formatting, refined DIR TO logic, enhanced airway and manual waypoint validation, and more. Numerous cosmetic corrections were also carried out around the MCDU pages to ensure maximum acuity.

The navigation tweaks brought on by this update will lay the groundwork for the implementation of FLS (Flight Management Landing System), which is already in active development.

The passenger cabin has been entirely reworked, with high-resolution textures, per-variant accuracy, animated window blinds, customized lighting environments, and a fully functional cabin signage system.

The core systems have also been massively improved, with engine and FADEC logic refinements across the board, spanning the start sequencing, thrust management, bleed configuration tables, and revised acceleration and breakaway behavior.

The add-on is available in their store for roughly $69.95 + VAT.
