Future of the F28
-
Hi, I recently saw a post where it was mentioned that when the v2 for the Bae146 is complete the devs are going to start work on new features for the F28. Im wondering if the uns1 will be added to the fokker, and if there is any chance the -1000c version of the aircraft will be developed? Thanks for an awesome aircraft!

We are planning an update to the F28 that will be in the same order of magnitude as our recent 146 version 2 update that will bring the 146s feature set across to the F28, including the UNS-1 FMS, as well as a few extra features. We aren't able to give an exact timeframe for when this will be released, but we'll keep everyone posted on our social media platforms.
The 1000C/3000C is something we have always wanted to develop, but haven't been able to due to a lack of reference material. In the time since the F28's release, we have been able to source some limited reference material, so we can now judge the amount of work required. There is quite a significant amount of work required for the 1000C/3000C versus the passenger variants, for instance, it would require changes to the cockpit configuration, a brand new cabin with a cargo door, an updated flight model and additional sounds. It's not something we can commit to at this time, but if it's something we are able to develop in the future then it'll likely come in the form of an expansion to the F28.

Hey @Arek5 they just released a document about what to expect in the V2

I have the XBOX Series X. About updates: I noticed that there's still a bit more performance optimization needed in general. During flight, it's possible to see that the scenery loses quality. It seems like something is being heavily demanded from the systems, which affects the external visuals. This doesn't happen in less complex aircraft. I even compared it with PMDG models, and this issue doesn't occur. In the next update, will you be giving more attention to memory optimization and other performance aspects, especially for XBOX customers? The F28 is amazing!

We delayed the F28 release on Xbox for almost a year after the PC release so we could ensure that the product we delivered was as optimised as it could be on consoles. Therefore the latest build of the F28 is as optimised as it can get on consoles. The general performance on Xbox will likely improve in the future with the performance optimisations that Asobo/Mircorosft are expecting to bring to Xbox in MSFS 2024 and Sim Update 16.
If you are struggling with performance with any of our aircraft on Xbox, we do have the following FAQ that provides some additional recommendations that could improve the performance: https://support.justflight.com/en/support/solutions/articles/17000142069-performance-tips-for-xbox-consoles
