By now I’m sure that many of you are aware of Javier Cortés’ Universal FMC project. I’ve had a lot of e-mails and messages come my way asking whether we’re going to be creating UFMC configuration files for our aircraft. Today I’m happy to announce that the answer to that question is a resounding yes. All future XPJ airliner releases will be Universal FMC compatible out of the box. We will also release a set of downloadable configuration files for our current 777 release as time permits. Furthermore, I’ve been working closely with Javier to improve the fit and finish of his plug-in, and along that line have created some replacement artwork for the UFMC which I hope should start appearing in promotional material soon. You can get a teaser of it below.

All of us here at XPJ are looking forward to UFMC with great anticipation. It’s the first of many big steps that will improve the airliner simulation experience in X-Plane.
