What's the Latest on the Fenix A320?

[pilotwannabe 6]

Their last update on their website was on October 8, with the next update scheduled for October 22.  They had been quite regular with their updates and feature reviews since they came out, so I'm hoping that the radio silence for more than the past month is because they are busy working on the product.  I'm not on their Discord forum, so don't know if they have posted any information there.  Here's hoping they are still moving forward with their product.

Regards,

As far as I know most of the up to date info (or lack there of) is in this thread.  Go to the last posts and that is most recent.

The discord discussion indicated (from one of their real world pilot testers) the Fenix team is doing everything possible to get the A320 completed and out ASAP.  They feel their time is better spent on getting the product out.  It is still undergoing alpha testing to my knowledge.

I have a feeling we might get it before Christmas.

They were due for a feature review last Friday, but it was delayed because Aamir didn't feel it was good enough for us. From what I can tell, Aamir is super OCD about "getting things right" and a sort of perfectionist, so whenever they decide to do their next feature review, expect it to blow our minds like the last few.

As for a Christmas release. It's already December and we're not in beta. I'd be surprised if it came out before February, personally, but I've been wrong before.

I think he said they were still going to do the video, but didn't want to give out a date for obvious reasons.  As far as an actual release for XMAS...lol...that would be a very tall order, IMO.

2022 probably. Good things comes to those who wait.

Lets wait chaps. It will come and it will surprise some folks. This is coming from folks in the Alpha who can't say much further due to (NDA) and I trust their comments.

I think they like some quiet r&r with their families as well during X Mas hence wait releasing the bird until January.

I really LOVE the FBW Airbus but if Fenix really delivers what they promise it will be a day one purchase for me. The FBW is (obviously) lacking way too many options right now and I don't think they will have completed the project within a few months or so. The only thing I am curious about is how this Fenix Airbus will hurt performance...

It's obviously better than the default A320. They had stated that in one of their previous reports.

The performance of the Fenix bus will be better,,,?!

If they beat PMDG 737 to the punch and deliver on promises, could be more than a few Boeing f'boys digging in to learn Airbus properly.
