Hello everyone.
A few hours before the tail lights were revealed, Dan was spotted again at Toulouse and he was doing some test flights with the A350-1000 first, and then the A330-800.
When the A350-1000 was first spotted about two weeks ago, it had some minor problems like the broken gear tilt on one of the main landing gears and holes inside the cabin. However, those issues have been fixed so we may potentially see the first liveries show up on the aircraft soon.
Now back to the A330-800, the aircraft was first spotted yesterday morning (my time) and I briefly saw Laura towing the aircraft from one spot to another. However, she did not fly the aircraft until Dan took over the controls about 8 hours later. The aircraft itself was already in a decent shape and it already had parts of the cabin interior like the galley. Something similar was also seen on the A330-200 shortly before the aircraft was officially released in 26.1, so this too may also be released very soon.
Although I still can’t hold the excitement about the tail lights and the dynamic lighting, Infinite Flight and its new pipeline has really been cooking hard since 26.1 came out and we may see some more surprising features in the future.
And, thank you Dan for performing the test flight and thanks again for the laughs, giving us suspense, and pranking/messing with us at Discord with the tail lights.. lol

..with the A350-1000 watching. Two brand new aircraft which were revealed in less than a span of two weeks. Who knows what IF will be making next.

Taxiing to a parking stand and the aircraft parked right next to the A35K, ending the test flight for today.
Thank you for viewing and have a nice day everyone!
