The A320 doesn't show up in FS2020 menu. I've done these steps explained here (zip extracted). No luck

Is there anything else that needs to be done in the sim?

It will be interesting what happens to the project when ASOBO decides to update their version. As their enhancements are based on the ASOBO version.

It doesn't show up as a separate aircraft, you just select the 'default' ASOBO A320 and if you have installed correctly the additional functionaly will be there when you load it in the sim.

Oh well, just tested the latest (not "stable") release, and it has even more problems. Plane doesn't descend correctly in managed mode, cruise speed isn't held when not in CL mode, ILS completely broken... list goes on. I am beginning to be fed up with these mods, for each nice to have feature they add, they break ESSENTIAL plane functions. Reminds me of the Zibo, not a single flight without a malfunction during the first year. If it goes down the Zibo way, next thing we get with this mod is abysmal FPS performance.

You just describe the default A320...

Thanks! Got it. Works  although I don't see the new livery so I am not convinced it is setup properly. But one giveaway is that the annoying 'Overspeed' callout is gone so something has clearly changed.

I would be very surprised if Asobo and the project do not have some sort of communication open to discuss that. This project is a huge benefit to the sim they’d be daft not to collaborate atleast on the very basis that any updates won’t conflict with the project, only enhance it.

I think it's best for now just to stay with the "corrected thrust mod" (as the A320 is overpowered in MSFS, I believe that's intentional to make it more agile), and wait for Asobo to work on the bus. As of now, this mod is heading nowhere.

You do realize that in order for autothrust to work, you have to keep the thruet levers in the CL detent right? Once they are there, you don't take them out until you do a manual thrust landing or until RETARD RETARD RETARD in the flare. That may be why you aren't holding a cruise speed.

Secondly, weren't you the one crapping on msfs default planes because they weren't like your zibo 737 in xplane? You literally said xpplane was better because of the zibo mod. Now you're complaining about this being like zibo and possibly taking a year to get to that standard for free? 

Enlighten us all.....from your point of view....someone who isn't doing  any work on the plane and getting all these updates for free. How fast should this take to get to zibo quality? Or maybe fslabs quality? 

 Thirdly, you are downloading the stable version correct? It's well known the bets versions have issues.

Its comments like these making me wonder if there is only positive critics allowed these days. He has just stated his opinion and his experience with that mod. Didn't say anything about Study Level or his expectations being bug free. Its the same on every forum. If you don't honeyroast things you're a negative person. 

Whats the purpose of this when you're allowed to state your honest opinion?

Additional to that if i were a Dev or a modder, i'd be very interested in negative feedback if there are any issues....

So long

I'm sure you would be apt to negative feedback....I'm also sure you would not be apt to someone crapping on your work because they aren't getting a piece of software exactly how THEY want it. 

Being objective and critical vs being downright negative are two different things. It's comments like yours that make me wonder if people have lost all skills in the act of socializing. Delivery is the biggest and most important part of communication. Not just what's literally being said. His "criticism" is constently being delivered with cynicism and vitriol and it's being noticed. His delivery is borderline immature at times. Anyone who can read can see that he's downright angry.....angry at a free product that's making the default Airbus better. The way he delivers himself on these forums at time begs the question to how old he actually is.

You don't know me so don't be too sure about that. I'm working in a job where i get feedback on what i do every day. Sometimes positive, sometimes negative. I have my own way of dealing with that. Everybody who is publishing something is exposed to all kinds of criticism and has to expect not only honeyroasting.

 

I don't know what the other guy said in earlier posts and actually i don't care. I just stated, that the post he did was nothing more than sharing his opinion. I didn't see any bashing or trashing in that.

Willful ignorance is bliss I suppose.... 

Does anyone else feel that the A320 (and most other planes) are WAY too sensitive when flying by hand?  I am used to the FSlabs (not comparing negatively or positively) and find that MSFS version is a lot more difficult to fly by hand.  And this is a MSFS thing, but I think they need to change the way you can toggle, push/pull tabs. I find it hard to go between selected and managed mode and when I scroll through a dial, I almost always end up zooming in and out instead.

What has it to do with ignorance? I commented a post of him. Nothing more, nothing less. I am not responsible for his behaviour and the opinion he shared was harmless.

Whats wrong with people?

If Asobo were smart, they would update the 787 or 747 first because this community A320 is doing very well and it's filling in for the default A320.  I'm skeptical that the first update Asobo does to the A320 will make it better than this community A320 (it will take Asobo probably multiple updates to match this community A320).

Fine, but that also applies to forum posts.  I don’t care if someone wants to be critical, nice, or negative, but if you post something, you are subject to the same thing back.  And if you are going to be critical, or negative, you better be right.

in the case of the poster to whom we are referring, he’s criticized a mod team for functions of the airplane that they have not modded, and has demonstrated a lack of understanding on how the rw airplane works.  (Doesn’t maintain unless in CL? Yeah that’s an Airbus).  Also, he wasn’t specific about what issues he’s having with the descent, which makes criticism worthless.  (Although it’s possible, given the CL complaint, that he wants the airplane to descend automatically at TOD). All of this ignores that fact that this behavior is default, I do not believe that the mod team even touched the AP or FMC at all yet.

i have zero issues with correctly done constructive criticism, or even angry ranting, but the same rules apply to the critique as it does to the subject.

Just to add

Bringing them out of CL will only limit the upper thrust available to the ATHR. 

The proper way of taking over manual thrust control from ATHR is to bring the levers out of CL and match the TLA "donuts" with thrust indicators, then push the disconnect button.

Just dont take this like I side with Colonel X...
