A lesser version of the Fenix A320 that has less fidelity would be the FBW A320 and it’s free.

With the on going development of the FBW A320, it may well be that both aircraft approach the same standards.  I just hope that the FBW team keep going with their project and do not abandon it in the face of the competition, at the behest of their "masters" at MSFS.

Yes this all looks stunning but who needs that? I just want to fly from A to B and AS with their busses did the job for me very well. If operating that thing will require a 3 years Studium I will happily pass

They've invested a lot of time and resources I am sure, and it seems they are looking to produce something that includes realistic systems modeling, I am good with that, for those who dont want an advanced simulation product I think the AS or FBW Airbus is the way to go, but this will definitely be a day 1 purchase for me. This can also be a training tool for type rated people (to review things we dont get to practice on the line) before going for recurrent training. 

Competition is a good thing, and let's not forget FSLabs, although we have no idea where they are in terms of FS20 development, they could also be another major player in the Airbus product line, all in all I think we have lots of choices for everyone's taste....

Wow!! Over are the days we can take the occasional shortcut in the cockpit and do things our own way, that won't go unpunished anymore....but i like it!!

DaWu,

Many will agree with you. The really good aspect of this is the fact that all of us will end up being catered for, regardless of our requirements for a flight sim.  This is basically not very different from the other platforms.

Enjoy it the way you want to with reckless abandon and endless alacrity.

To be fair, the Airbus A320 is very forgiving in this regard. You can probably fly it the same way you'd fly the default Asobo A32N; the only difference you'd notice is that the aircraft will actually follow the flight plan.

New video that wasn't part of todays feature review.

What competition? One is freeware and one will be payware, you will have people on either sides the fence and maybe some even on both. They are not exactly the same A320

Happy that they are going with the original Bus. Better yet would be if they included CRT screens. 😀

Competition?   This competition .... the rumoured upcoming Aerosoft A320.  Regardless, this was not what I meant and I suspect you already know that.  The point I was trying to make was that I hope development continues with the FBW one, and whether or not it is payware or freeware they most certainly are in competition with one another. I really just hope that they all power on to bigger and better end results.

Very true.
"High fidelity" airliner doesn't mean harder to operate at all, unless you activate failures and wish to better understand how systems interact together.
I am truly impressed by this new project, and to be honest, very admiring.

simply to be sure the airplane behaves as it should and you could act accordingly.

As example the FSX/P3D Aerosoft Airbus was in a state where I always have to research if this is now Airbus specific behaviour or a bug or just a "feature" of the AS Airbus itself.

I learned a lot from the FSLabs Airbus. And it is not only Airbus: if systems are modelled deep and correct, you can achieve the same in different ways (as example with A2A planes). So if you then set up the switches in an different but also logical order you get the same result. In low level addons you have often to follow a certain order for switches otherwise you confude the scripts behind.

I do wonder who they have made for first, is it for simmers or do they plan to sell it to pilots/airlines too later down the line?

Because the only reason you would go into so much detail...is  to market this as something that can be used for real world flight training.

Before - Sim is bad as there’s no ‘study level’ planes. Planes aren’t realistic enough

After- Plane is too ‘study level’ for me and too detailed 

Devs can’t win haha

Yeah, I wonder if if Fenix will target airliners or the commercial market.
