Their dedicated team has been working tirelessly, achieving remarkable progress in multiple aspects to deliver an extraordinary aviation simulation experience centered around this iconic aircraft so loved by its pilots. [b]Flight Model Advancements:[/b] Significant progress has been made to achieve a high level of FM realism. The seamless integration of ground effect and ground handling during taxiing provide an authentic feel to takeoffs and landings, while support for differential braking and a parking brake enhances the ground handling capabilities, ensuring precise maneuvering on the runway. With the newly initiated cockpit shaking effects, which accurately simulate engine vibrate and atmospheric turbulence, you can immerse yourself in the thrill of aviation making each flight a true adventure. The further refinement of drag calculations for the various control surfaces ensure a realistic aircraft responsiveness and authentic flight realism. All control surfaces simulation is nearing completion and the hydraulic system is being implemented. Engine management, fuel consumption simulation, and the implementation of the onboard oxygen system and all progressing well. Additionally, the groundwork for future autopilot features has been programmed and the AN/APN-22 radar altimeter is operational.

The team of animators are also hard at work, adding lifelike animations to various cockpit elements, ensuring a truly immersive experience for every aviator. Furthermore, the skilled texturing artists are hard at work crafting intricate textures that will bring the A-1H Skyraider's cockpit to life, with every gauge and instrument being meticulously detailed. As a sneak peek into our progress, we are delighted to showcase rendered images of the cockpit, showcasing the incredible attention to detail. [b]Radar Weapon System Progress:[/b] The team has achieved significant milestones with the AN/APS-6 Radar Pod, specifically tailored for the A-1H Skyraider. The detailed architecture design guarantees a seamless integration of hardware components, signal processing algorithms, and data integration, creating an authentic recreation of this early radar system. The successful implementation of core signal processing algorithms enables good aircraft detection and tracking. Currently, our functional radar prototype is undergoing rigorous testing and calibration, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
