Two days after teasing the project, X-Plane developer Just Flight has published a full feature list and new screenshots of their upcoming BAe 146.

On Facebook and its website product page Just Flight posted seven different pictures showcasing the aircraft’s exterior in various stages of flight and different liveries. Additionally, Just Flight has confirmed that the BAe 146 will be developed by its own “in-house team” partnered with Thranda Design. Furthermore, Just Flight has noted that a real aircraft is being used as reference during the development process.

 The BAe 146, known as the “quiet jet”, was originally designed by Hawker Siddeley with production starting in 1981. Just Flight’s BAe 146 will feature “the iconic high T-tail, the short undercarriage, the distinctive airbrake, and all three variants of the aircraft (-100, -200, -300).”

Just Flight also released a feature list for the final product.

          - 146-100

          - 146-300
• Accurately modelled using real-world aircraft plans and comprehensive photography of the real aircraft (G-JEAO)
• Numerous animations including:
          - Trailing edge flap surfaces
          - Wing-mounted spoilers and tail-mounted airbrake
          - All passenger, service and cargo doors
          - Windscreen wipers
          - Distinctive retractable tricycle landing gear
• 4096x4096 textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity
• PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism
• Detailed normal mapping for down-to-the-rivet precision of aircraft features

‍Cockpit:

• Captain, Co-Pilot and jump-seat positions are modelled with hundreds of functional switches, knobs and controls

• Aircraft configuration system that will allow you to choose between 'cold & dark' or 'ready for take-off'
• Many features have been added to help with usability such as the ability to hide the control yokes for a better view of the instruments and pre-set angled views for the overhead panel, centre pedestal and jump seat
• Flight computer panel with useful information such as fuel burn, endurance, speed and wind speed/direction

Others:

• Realistic and accurate flight dynamics based on real world performance and handling data, and input from real-world pilots
• Authentic LF-507 engine sound set, generated using X-Plane's state-of-the-art FMOD sound system
• Custom sounds for airbrakes, switches, wipers, cockpit systems and more, featuring accurate location placement of sounds in the stereo spectrum, 3D audio effects, atmospheric and distance effects, adaptive Doppler, exterior sounds spill in when the crew door is open, different sound characteristics depending on viewing angle etc.
• Multiple interior and exterior viewpoints, including wing views
• Comprehensive manual with panel guide and performance data
• PSD Paint Kit included so you can create your own paint scheme
