We're excited to share our latest progress on the AFL 737 MAX project! Our 3D team is currently focusing on the aft overhead panel, bringing another crucial piece of the flight deck to life. The texturing phase is well underway, with our artists meticulously crafting PBR materials to ensure authentic wear patterns and surface responses that match real-world aircraft.
 

Current Progress:
 

• Aft overhead panel base modeling completed

• PBR texturing approximately 60% complete

• Initial placement of switch bases and mounting structures

• Preliminary UV mapping for detailed texture work
   

Flight Model Development: In parallel with our 3D work, we've successfully implemented the base X-Plane flight model for the 737 MAX. This foundation will allow us to:
 

• Fine-tune basic flight characteristics

• Test preliminary ground handling behavior

• Verify weight and balance configurations

• Begin initial performance correlations
   

While we're excited about this progress, we want to remind our community that we're still in the early stages. Each component requires extensive testing and refinement to meet our standards for accuracy and authenticity.

We're committed to regular development updates as we continue this journey. Your support and patience mean everything to us as we work to create the most authentic 737 MAX simulation possible for X-Plane.

Stay tuned for more updates!
