We’ve been quiet for a while during the past few months which are very anticipating months since people are waiting for the brand new FS2020 to be released, so do us. And we were not just waiting. We were very busy to bring out our new hardwares as well as the software. Finally we have this major update for the G1000 apps, the v6. In this version we added a configuration page for engine gauges which let users to set the engine type and parameters so the use of the apps can be expanded to a much wider range. All the piston, turboprop and jet engines are supported. Flaps and elevator trim indicators are also available to show up aside. Also in this update we added volume controls for X-Plane. NAV and COM volumes in X-Plane now can be controlled by the apps. We hope you enjoy the new version.

Ok, now let’s talk about FS2020. It’s the most exciting thing that the FS2020 has been released a few days ago. We’ve received a lot of emails asking for support for the use of our apps with FS2020. Well, we are still downloading our copy of FS2020 and will test and develop as soon as we have it. So far, according to users’ reports, the current bridge program for FSX also works with FS2020 although significant frame rate drop has been observed which we think should pretty much be an issue resides in FS2020 rather than the bridge. One thing worth mention is that users need to install SimConnect library manually as it’s needed by the bridge and is not installed with FS2020(like FSX steam edition). Anyway, we will soon be on the bridge for FS2020. We will test and see what is need to do with it and let you know as soon as we have an idea.

Situation here in our city is getting better. We are now gradually resuming our business and restocking our products. Online shop is now reopened. Orders will be shipped with no delay.

Due to Chinese government’s strategy of controlling the spread of the new coronavirus, companies are required to be closed until further notice. Therefore, our business is greatly limited for the time being. Our shipping company, DHL has also stopped their service. Considering all that, we decide to close our online shop for a while. For the orders already payed, we will ship them as soon as shipping service is available from DHL. The earliest date we are expecting is Feb 10. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at lichenpo@hotmail.com.
