JARDesign have given us a sneak peek of their upcoming A330 V4 that will bring Vulkan compatibility and more as well as some previews of an update of their A320. 

Since our last recap on the JAR Design A320 in February, the developer has made vast progress on an update for the aircraft. Through their Facebook group, many screenshots have been posted of considerable changes in systems, exterior model, engine logics, and exterior and interior night lighting. Additionally, the cockpit controls are to be reworked for a more comfortable interaction in VR. 

The developer told Threshold that multiple smaller updates would be pushed out to ensure the good functioning of each modification. 

JARDesign is currently working on a new communication system to better integrate with online networks such as VATSIM and IVAO. 

A new exterior night lighting is to be included in this new update to closely match the new Airbus NEO LED lighting. 

The cockpit lighting is being worked on as well as a new passenger cabin featuring environmental landing.

JARDesign have also posted previews of their improved exterior 3D model. 

Furthermore, the developer has reacted to the recent release of the X-Plane 11.50 beta and compatibility with the Vulkan API: “About XP11.50 products compatible - current versions of JARDesign products should be updated to be compatible with new X-Plane 11.50 Vulcan/Metal version.” JARDesign have also indicated that the A330 V4 will use SASL V3 engine to replace SASL V2. For more information on the update or on how to become a beta-tester of these upcoming updates, check the Facebook post out. 

The JARDesign A320 and A330 are currently on sale at the X-Plane.org Store for $39.95 and $49.10 respectively.
