SimWorks Studios Hornets
Time for a small preview of SimWorks Studios Hornets, which will come with the USS Nimitz as static aircraft. Beware though, because when SimWorks Studios AI technology is ready these very same Hornets will come to life.
At their current state (no loadouts) the aircraft are as performance intensive as the default FSX Cessna 172 and all our "static" aircraft will follow the same standard.
Essentially, you should be able to see the carrier launch its entire wing, have it go about its business and recover it with minimal performance impact.
While they will be static when you get them with the Nimitz, you can definitely use them as AI traffic with P3D's default traffic system to liven up your naval bases.
Disclaimer: The paint-jobs don't represent Nimitz squadrons and yes, they will be changed!

TFDi Design 717: Summer Fun and #FreshPaintFriday
Posted on August 3, 2018 by Joshua Mendoza
It's been amazing seeing the number of people enjoying our latest update (v1.1) to the TFDi Design 717. If you haven't yet had a chance to check it out, be sure to open the TFDi Design Addon Manager to download the update. Version 1.1 comes with official P3Dv4 support, a revamped external model and textures, and a slew of new features/fixes/improvements. We are not going to go into detail about v1.1 in this post (since we have already done that), however, you can read more about it here. That said, we have some exciting events that we will highlight below.
#FreshPaintFriday
So what is #FreshPaintFriday? #FreshPaintFriday (FPF) will be an ongoing event where we release new official liveries for the 717 created by our in-house team of artists. We will go over the history of each aircraft and where it is today. FPF will happen on Fridays over the course of the next couple of months. It may skip a week if needed, as some of the liveries will take longer than others to get right. We won't be taking requests, however, we do have a list of liveries that have already been heavily requested. Each Friday,...
TFDI B717 wing flex
As of v1.1, wing flex is part of the TFDi Design 717! Not only will the wings react to turbulence, you'll also see them bounce as the aircraft rolls over bumps on the taxiway and runway.
