May 17, 20224 yr I have always dreamt about of having an all-in-one package, and the Fenix A320 brings it one step closer in that regards. What I mean is that you do not have to leave the sim to do anything. Everything that you need is there and included in the plane. What I'm referring to is the EFB. Gone are the days where you need a separate app running for each and every thing. I used to have to open PFPX for my flight planning, and TOPCAT for my calculations, and so forth. Having to TAB out back to the desktop and back into the sim really kills the immersion for me. The only thing that I wish was part of the EFB or sim, would be a full-fledged and feature packed flight planner like SimBrief that either shows up as an app on the EFB or built into the core of MSFS. I just want a sim that has everything included so that we do not need to rely on 3rd party apps. Thanks to KatiePilot for working on the EFB. You have done such an incredible job. The details are above and beyond what most of us have ever imagined. I really hope you can put the envelope further and add more useful apps on that thing to make the experience even better.

The amazing part is, I think @KatiePilot had a big role in programming the EFB for the Fenix A320. Not only does KatiePilot fly the A320 in real life, she somehow knows how to program and write code too! i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM

I'm so glad that she is part of the Fenix team! Having an EFB like that really raises the immersion factor, and the elegant and beautiful UI is just icing on the cake!

May 17, 20224 yr One little caveeat is, that there is no MCDU as remote (for tablets e.g.) available. I asked that if it is planned, but they gave no answer if or not. Would be a very important feature for me ... more than having the EFB as remote. Hope they consider it and do that soon ...

I hope it will be possible to create a streamdeck profile for the Fenix. Counting on you. 😉

May 17, 20224 yr The FBW's NEO EFB is also nothing to sneeze at, at the moment. It has been continuously gotten better.

May 17, 20224 yr It’s a great EFB but I wouldn’t say it’s revolutionary given FSL has the same functionality.

May 17, 20224 yr Author word not allowed, no framework and building the EFB all from scratch. Hardcore. It's very rare these days to see a real life A320 pilot who can code like that!
