A32NX and A320 NEO

[PilotPete99 915]

Hi All - I am now very confused. Today I notice that the A32NX was available as a free download in the Marketplace. I think maybe I live under a rock, but I wasn't aware of this. Anyway, now I have two A320's, both the A320 NEO and the A32NX Leap. Are these the same? Also, I have no display in the cockpit of either aircraft, although they both seem to be running. How do I get the cockpit displays all running? I am obviously missing something here, so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Pete

The A32NX is a project that focuses in improving on the existing A320 NEO. As it is right now it adds mostly simple missing things from the original, but they intend to make it an actual flying and usable A320. In all honesty as soon as FSL (or even Aerosoft for that matter) release their versions, this will become obsolete probably.

Thanks, am I correct then that this is the same thing as the mod that I had been using which came out several months ago? I guess what I am wondering is if I have the same mod twice, because I used that installer from their website and I still have this included.

There is a real life A320 Captain that has a series of videos on the FBW A 320, and he really likes it.

You have two airplanes now because the mod has become its own stand alone aircraft in prep for, as you see, now showing up on the marketplace as a separate download.  It's no longer just a mod to the default aircraft.

Thanks, any idea why the displays are all off? I have not seen this issue yet in any MSFS aircraft.

Edit: The problem is now resolved. Once I deleted the old mod the A32NX now works.

The latest version has some knobs that turn the lights on the display, did you adjust them?

It seems the issue is resolved now. I think maybe it was because the old mod was still installed, but perhaps not. Anyway, all is well now.

I am waiting for my PC with MSFS on it to get back from the company, hopefully fixed. The FBW A320 is the first thing I am going to install. Looks like a nice aircraft.

Well, in all honesty you will have to wait for another A320. Aerosoft already postboned their A320 because of us.

Nope, far from it. The longer FS Labs or Aerosoft wait, the more obsolete their A320’s will become… and that’s if they ever get them into the sim at all. 

If the Aerosoft CRJ is anything to go by, forget it.

Fact is that the FBW A320 is leaps and bounds better than the default and not just adding “mostly simple missing things”. They have implemented “simple” things never previously implemented by FSL, let alone Aerosoft.🤣

Dont under estimate what has been achieved by FBW team and they are not done yet.

It may be worth reviewing their current and planned work in detail before making these staements.

It really does look nice. I haven't flown it for a while so I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

"Simple missing things", you are joking right?

Those YouTube videos by 320Simpilot , and there are many of them, really covers flying the 320 in great detail.
