We could see the EICAS showing some things such as the flaps’ motion and the engines spooling up, and the animated PFD during a simulated takeoff.Īs for the FMS and Map view, it’s being developed in full collaboration with FlyByWire and Navigraph as well. Synaptic Simulations also previewed the PFD and EICAS functionality. Starting with the electrical system, the team showed how it’s interconnected and reconfigures itself, for example, to draw power from the engines once they are turned on, or how the left engine powers the left section of the electrical diagram once its running, while the right section continues to be powered by an external source. Possibly the most interesting feature that has been shown is the current system’s implementation. Additionally, they showed the current model of the cockpit, still textureless, but already with functional buttons, switches, and active displays. The team showed the current progress with the 3D model, such as the engines, landing gears, wings, and spoilers, which have been modeled up to a very high standard thanks to reference photos taken by real A220 pilots. For instance, the A22X will be available in the FlyByWire installer once it’s released, and the custom flight planning system and LNAV/VNAV mechanics in the A22X are also being implemented with FBW’s collaboration.ĭuring the recent live-streamed development update, Synaptic Simulations previewed a wide variety of aspects of its airplane. Some of these developers also work with FlyByWire, which has resulted in a “partnership” of some kind that enables resources and talent to be shared across both teams. Right now, Synaptic Simulations is comprised of about 30 developers, who offer their spare time to work on the A22X and also on other MSFS projects. Once external texturing is done on the 3D model, something that is currently expected to happen in early 2022, the team will release a paintkit for the community to start creating liveries, and talented repainters will also be brought to the team to create real-world liveries to be included in the package. The -100 variant and the stunning ACJ corporate version are also possible in the future. Synaptic Simulations is currently modeling the -300 variant of the A220, the most popular among airlines. One interesting aspect of the A22X’s development is that, once the modeling is complete, it will be open-sourced for the entire community to tinker with, much like the A32NX. Most procedures will also be available but expect many improvements and features to come afterward, such as failures. Once it releases, Synaptic Simulations says the A22X will be a fully modeled and textured aircraft, down to the smallest details in the cockpit, with a full cabin and animations. However, the 3D model is almost entirely done at this moment, and the team is looking to start implementing textures over the new few weeks. The project appears now to be reaching a certain level of maturity that has made the developers even more communicative, both on their official Discord but also with an extensive live-streamed preview and Q&A session, where we got many details about the current state of the aircraft, global plans, and much more.įirst of all, there’s no release date yet for the A22X, as it’s still in an early stage of development. The team has issued a few development updates over the months, showing steady and incremental improvements across the entire product. The team is now well underway into the development of this project, which is looking to be a long-term, open-source, and freeware depiction of the Airbus A220. Synaptic Simulations is the collective responsible for the development of the A220 for MSFS, under the product name A22X. Today we’re bringing you another very promising project, which aims to bring to MSFS a high-fidelity depiction of one of the newest airliners in the market: the Airbus A220. From the usual high-quality, payware projects that we report about almost daily, to impressive freeware endeavors such as the A32NX or the upcoming KC-10/DC-10, the list of aircraft in development for MSFS keeps on growing.
