CSS News - August 8, 2025
Welcome to another edition of the CSS Weekly Blog where we keep you up to date with our latest developments.
We have lots of work going on behind the scenes and we're excited to share some in-development previews with you today.

Modeling

As mentioned earlier, work on the CSS 737-400 external model is progressing nicely. The model is being remade from the ground up, addressing community feedback on the 737-500 model. Most recently, the Vertical Stabilizer has seen some love with a more accurate shape, more details, such as a modeled rudder gap seal, and better texture mapping. You can see the difference between the current and the new vertical stabilizer models yourself in the screenshots.

On the interior side of things, we're modeling a new yoke using photogrammetry, which again allows for an extremely true-to-life model. We're experimenting with photogrammetry in other areas of the cockpit as well, and in the future we hope to show you some more of it. Do mind that the Yoke screenshots are WIP previews, and the textures are yet to be worked on.

Systems

Systems-wise, with the latest update we've been met with a bug where N1 Limits wouldn't switch properly. We're happy to say that it has been fixed, and will be featured in the next update, which, if all goes well, will go live over this weekend.

We've also been focusing on tuning the engine parameters, ensuring the engines behave more closely to FCOM data and Real Life. This includes changes to the N2 and Fuel Flow values, as well as idle thrust adjustments. As in Real Life, the airplane will now roll at idle thrust at weights up to around 50t.

We'd like to thank you all for the huge amount of feedback we've recieved following the latest update. We are committed to improving our product day by day, and we're thankful for your support and appreciate you being on this journey with us!
