Thank you BravoAirSpace!
Firstly, thank you Francis and the entire BravoAirSpace team! Your commitment to bringing quality products to the Xbox console is greatly appreciated. But will there be any updates for the BravoLiner -8 and -9? Preferably more liveries and little bit better optimization? It kinda feels like the BravoLiner is an afterthought. The A320 sounds are very good. But there’s some eternal static noise sound. Please Francis! PLEASE! Tell me there’s a plan to do the A330 sounds? Francis trust me. You guys would be loved if you guys came out with a sound pack for the A330’s. That’s something PC and Xbox players have been complaining about and hoping for, for awhile now. Is better A330 sounds. I’m very very grateful for the traffic add on as well. It really brings the airport alive. One of the most needed add ons for console. Once again. I’m so grateful and appreciative for all the hard work you and your team have done. Specifically for the console community. I’ve supported you guys since day one and I will continue supporting you guys! Thank you for not giving up on us console players!
Francis @LeadDeveloper2026-07-31 22:04:20.292ZHi Hudson, long time no see.
I'm currently working on the Dreamliners.
The reason I've been working and releasing console oriented add-ons is because I fly on XBOX. I love it. I think it's much more relaxing and immersive vs being on PC.
If you haven't notice how streamers are very distracted with so many things, it's like that. When I do small flights, I'm just in it. I can't minimize my window and open a browser. When you're in lock down, you're in lock down. Anyways, the game needed airliner in traffic. Playing with other gamers is horrible. People don't fly real on multiplayer mode.
ATG is struggling with the parked aircraft. Asobo knows about it, I'm waiting on their response.The A32X audio suite USA crew, every week there's different builds being tested on the X. That pop crackle at engine start (KLAX heavy airport) At other airports i didn't happen. (I'm testing things on my own in order to get the real findings. The test team has been disbanded for several months now). But this suite will get German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese products.
A33X Audio suite hum... ^_^ ...
To give you an honest answer, I'm struggling with exporting a working wingflex as I'm using the latest tools so FS24 export will be easier.
I've had many issues for the last 3 weeks.Regarding the Dreamliners,
I started with the 787-8 (big update with the new EFB) but my modeler needs to deliver the latest doors. And so I started a small 789 update and
Currently I was about to send out some new liveries for for it but I went down a rabbit-hole and started fixing and updating the cabin textures, removed and installed models.
Making sure it's not bright and [wrong-looking] artifacts around. It's not the real finish, there's an entire newly develop interior, doors, etc. But I'll leave it for after I upload the 787-9 update.I'm currently hiring new recruits and working with an experienced animator, I'm hoping he delivers working hydraulic cables for the nose wheels and rear gears. All of that has to be updated but I can release it without that but I would prefer not to.
Optimization is my thing at the moment. I've organized the project in order to focus on optimized parts. In FS24 it will behave even better. I'm able to upload a FS24 version of the 787's onto testing mode on XBOX and test the response.
What are the airports that are giving you issues? I want to test them.
These days and for several months to come, our work will be focused on sounds and the Dreamliners.
Other teammates are building other things in the background. The Dreamliners will have the most optimized and sharpest liveries available.My goal is to get the Dreamliners out for FS24 looking amazing. Meaning, looking realistic, having the real modeling, realistic everything that is possible. But the first FS24 native will be soft without the tires pressure and little things like that.
D Hudson @Dee318Nice! Glad to see the updates planned! Especially for the BravoLiner! And I understand the frustration that comes with making products for the closed Xbox infrastructure. That’s why you’re greatly appreciated. Francis I know you and your team are very hardworking. You’ve always been transparent and never shied away from criticism. And that’s to be commended. Your devotion to bringing quality, well detailed and very well priced add ons to console should be acknowledged. You and your team have done a bunch that deserves recognition. But I don’t know if you can, but once again a sound suite for the Inibuilds A330’s would gain you a lot of recognition and praise from the PC community too. It’s so desperately needed. I was just on FSElite earlier talking about how you guys sounds are better than anything Ini or PMDG produces. That Snypmatic A220 is being ripped apart on the threads for the horrible sounds and optimization. My YouTube channel is growing. Almost up to a 1K subs in 6 months of uploading videos. All focused on Xbox add ons and aviation. I will always shout out BravoAirSpace!!
Francis @LeadDeveloper2026-08-01 15:55:30.816ZHi Hudson,
I have many years of hospitality experience so I'm used to speaking with all types of people in all types of situations. I never thought it would help me in the flight sim world!
A330 sounds, I don't want to disclose it on public if we are working on it, if we started or finished it, it's best to keep it quiet. Some other developers like to beat other developers even if it requires their product to be uploaded half broken, just to claim victory over the marketplace. It's annoying.
I look at the sales monthly and PC users are buying more than the XBOX community. It's interesting. So you are correct.
Thank you for the compliments. I really wish I can speak more deeply about other developers and the things I constantly catch and notice. I would have to create a fake account and post it somewhere else on the internet. But the flight simulator world isn't being built by a passionate, skeleton crew as before.
A220 situation reminds me of when I released the 787-8. Ever since that, I can not do it again. I trusted others and it was fine until an extend.
I wish the best for them (a220 guys) and I would openly say, do not take the console users for granted. Most importantly the marketplace is where the money comes in to keep the game active for years to come. Microsoft Flight Simulator division doesn't make money from outside sales. And Microsoft marketplace team encrypts our work which is hard to pirate.
Don't take pride on outside marketplace sales.I wish I can say more about development and media hype.
And keep your users up to date with update-speed-processing which is way faster these days. I can upload on a Monday and it will be available on a Thursday of the same week. Microsoft doesn't test your product, it's up to the developer. Which makes sense. Just like any other marketplace in the world.
Whats your youtube?

Well said. And I thoroughly understand. Francis you’re a man of integrity! I wholeheartedly respect your openness and your teams hard work! You’re so right! I don’t understand why some developers shy away from Xbox money😂😂😂. Good luck with all the upcoming projects! Cant wait to see what you guys come up with next.

What's your youtube channel?
- D Hudson @Dee318
It’s @Tramaine318. I just upload shorts for now. But I’m getting ready to start making long form videos covering NOTHING but Xbox flight sim add ons and news. When I reach a 1K subs. Which I’m about 59 away from.
