The Year It Was: 2014

First of all, have a nice holiday! The long break is finally here and it is time to relax. Both me, and Vish wish you a merry Christmas and all the best for the new year.
Now that the year is almost over, it is time to review the year, noting the major events.

2014 was quite a bad year for the aviation industry.
The major events include: the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines 370, and the shooting of MH17. With this, the aviation industry may have taken a hit, especially Malaysia Airlines. But both of these incidents weren't their fault.

Looking on to the bright side now.
The release of the A350!A environmentally friendly wide body jet, similar to the Boeing 787.
Infinite Flight has improved drastically in this year. If you look at the 2013 Infinite Flight and the current Infinite Flight: better graphics, better interface, MULTIPLAYER, more planes and much more. Let's hope that 2015 will bring even more improvements to Infinite Flight.

The Infinite Flight Tutorials website launched in May, created to help all aviation enthusiasts. We now receive over 500 pageviews a day. Thank you for your support.

Here's what we are working on:
-Website design
-More content
-Improving content
We have already changed the design a bit, please let us know what you think. It's your opinions that shape our website.

This concludes the 2014 review. Leave in the comments below your thoughts. What have you accomplished this year? I remember at the start of the year been a complete noob in flight, landing at 400 knots.

What's Coming Up and the Boeing 777/A330

Every week from now, I will be writing a newsletter.

Flying development studio's next major update-what will it have? That is a frequently pondered question. The developers of Infinite Flight's current big project is bringing the queen of the skies, the Boeing 747 into the game. It will contain many variants, even ranging to a 747 with a space shuttle. There will be a full virtual cockpit, as well as animated functions. The updated 747 will most likely be a free DLC.
The developers also added some more ATC functionality for multiplayer.

Up to our next topic.
I have put up a poll a month back, asking what is your favourite aircraft. Here are the results:
Boeing 737/Airbus A320
12 (24%)
Airbus A380/Boeing 747
15 (30%)
Airbus A330, A340/Boeing 777,767
19 (38%)
Airbus A350/Boeing 787
1 (2%)
DC9/ MD11/727
1 (2%)
Turboprops (cesnna172,208 etc)
2 (4%)
Other aircraft
0 (0%)

The Boeing 777/A330 was the winner of the poll (38%) with the A380 and 747 not trailing far behind. The 737 and A320 is next. Only one person voted for A350/Boeing 787.

It is obvious that most of us aviation enthusiasts prefer passenger jets. 

It can also to be said that a lot of people like the 777/A330, and I can totally understand why. These two aircrafts are easy to control, have a neat cockpit, and are both very good looking aircraft. The 777 and A330 is my personal favourite: it really is that bit easier to fly.

People probably also voted for 747/A380 because they're very big aircrafts.

Some people vote for the 737/A320 because of its cockpit layout, style of flying or the size.

Let me just say, that the A350 and 787 are the future of passenger jets. Today's focus are environmentally friendly aircraft. Those two aircrafts focuses on minimal fuel usage, and minimal environmental impact, while also having the characteristics of the 777 and A330.

Fuel will get more and more expensive, and using our remaining fuel efficiently is important.

This concludes this week's newsletter. In general, I discussed what's coming in the next update, preferred aircraft, and the future of aviation.

Currently, I am working on editing posts to make them more informative and understandable. The ones on my lists are:
