On schedule for the end of the month, Just Flight has released their latest development update for their Airbus A300 for MSFS.

Taking to the skies on October 28, 1972, the Airbus A300 was Airbus's first commercial aircraft. The A300 revolutionized air travel as it was the first wide-body, twin-engine commercial aircraft. With the introduction of ETOPS, the A300 allowed airlines to cost-effectively fly large quantities of passengers to airports inaccessible to quad-engine widebody aircraft. In its prime, the A300 was operated worldwide by airlines like American Airlines, Lufthansa, and Japan Airlines.

Despite its old-age, the aircraft still lives on today as a cargo aircraft.

In this latest development update, Just Flight highlighted the work completed on the lower engineer's panel, known as Command 3. Evident in the photo previews, Just Flight has put an incredible amount of detail and effort into the cockpit panels. The developer explained that the A300 uses a color-coded lighting system to describe the urgency of a particular annunciator, with amber and red showcasing a serious issue.

In addition, for those unfamiliar with the A300, Just Flight took the time to explain what instruments are included in Command 3. Going from left to right, Command 3 includes electrical instruments, secondary engine instruments, and air bleed system instruments.

As the flight simulator community has come to expect, all of Just Flight's instruments include the latest PBR technology and feature wear-and-tear effects comparable to a well-used A300. Overall, the team is making good progress on the A300, and it will be interesting to see the upper engine panel instruments next month.
