Message from the Editorial Team

Welcome to the fifth newsletter from Threshold!
In August, we wrote 59 news pieces and 9 articles.

Now that the summer has come to an end, the Flight Simulation community is slowly starting to come back to normal pace. After a long and relaxing summer, developers and flight simmers return to their daily developing and flying routine. This will mean more news to cover, but do not worry, Threshold will keep you covered.

We hope everyone has had a pleasant summer, and we can’t wait to see what autumn will bring.

STORE NEWS

We are proud to present the latest addition to our store.

Primarily analogue instrumentation augmented with modern radio navigation equipment is still the most common aircraft panel configuration in the world. Challenge your piloting skills by flying IFR to minimums with a fully analogue panel and no GPS.  You’ll be amazed at the level of skill and proficiency you can achieve to conquer such adversity and how it will translate to all your other flying. You also may find the analogue instrumentation much easier to read with the limited number of pixels available on a computer monitor, and even more so in VR.

Over 600 checklist items are provided for 55 Normal, Abnormal, and Emergency procedures in textual form in the manual, and in-game, using the MSFS native checklist system with control and instrument highlighting. If it’s in the checklist, it’s settable in the aircraft!
