As the new 2nd generation VLTI instruments GRAVITY and MATISSE, will be soon available to the community, ASPRO2 is evolving to support them. For example, the noise modelling has been improved for the MATISSE instrument which covers new L+M bands by including the thermal noise contribution and atmospheric transmission. Moreover, the OIFITS simulator has been rewritten to generate correctly correlated quantities for the interferometric observables (VIS2, VIS, T3) and will support OIFITS-2 soon. It is already supporting the commissioning of the GRAVITY instrument through its capability to create Observing Blocks compatible with the ESO P2PP tool.
