I bought it with Pay Pal! I set it up for my Google Pay!

Why does the ECAM say Flaps: Full on approach when conf 3 selected on approach page in MCDU?

You need to select LDG FLAP 3 on the left side of the overhead in the GPWS section.

I hope FENIX can set up a dedicated forum somewhere. Discord is in my opinion not suitable as s support platform, just my 2 cents.

That is not possible with Google Pay where I am. Only Credit or Debit Card.

Support forums are on their way out.

Interesting. I have PayPal in my Google Pay as only funding source, but it still showed "PayPal not allowed" when I selected Google Pay.

(But as my i5-5500 CPU is anway below specs, it's only a theoretical issue for me.)

My impression is that this product has been over hyped and I regret buying it impulsively as the performance is disappointing.

The only thing impressive in this product is the core simulation of the plane, which is just Prosim running on the background. What they did on top of that (sounds, graphics, EFB etc.) is not that impressive. So I would rate a 5/5 to the Prosim product and 2.5/5 for Fenix.

You've been slagging this product all along because you're butthurt over their Prosim integration. Please get over it. For the rest of the free world, this is an innovation that should be applauded. 

SIMBrief Company route name? I've tried LIMLLIRF, LIMLLIRF01, not in database.

ACARS INIT works OK

 

Thanks

Ok, I just received a mail from Fenix about the manual/documentation, we can expect more in the coming weeks/months.

Better than nothing, but a bit late in my opinion.

Thanks, good to know.  I presume there is no useful documentation in the EFB itself? Doesn't make sense they'd only provide those docs only in the EFB anyways... Also wonder if there are freely available ProSim A320 docs/tutorials/etc out there.

For me with a 7700K, 32GB RAM and a GTX1080Ti (running at 3440 X 1440), it makes a huge difference to switch the glass cockpit to the integrated graphics. I will do an A - B - A test shortly to get exact numbers and also compare to FBW experimental.

This my exact setup and with CPU rendering, and while I'm getting decent results, I look forward to your comparison because I'll take and performance improvements I can. Also, did enabling the integrated GPU impact your processor temps? I'm OC'd and I wouldn't want to push it over th edge.

In all my years of flight simming this is the best fifty quid I've ever spent. It puts the Maddog to shame in terms of value for money and quality together with literally every plane I've ever bought for X-Plane. 

^ this.

 

The Fenix feels like a game-changer. If you’ve used enough of these things, for long enough, you can tell when something has broken the mould: and that’s what this one has done. Not perfect (yet) but nevertheless in a league of its own.

I am not in front of the Sim,  but seems we have only the 13 pages manual + checklist on the EFB

About FPS, DLSS/ AMD similar is coming in two months, so this + optimisation from Fenix will improve performances

Managed to take her into LIPB Bolzano for my second flight. Which is of course unrealistic, as the 1432m runway is just a tad too short. This was reflected in the arrival planning in the EFB, which reminded me that required landing distance was several hundred meters more than the available. Final approach was messy (not easy doing a descending 180 degree turn at Vapp just before touchdown), but she made it down safely. Went max manual braking and max reverse thrust and had a bit of runway in front of me when she finally came to a stop. Got a brake overheat warning though, so got to use those brake fans. 

On another note, I've been doing some more performance tweaking. I settled on display rendering on the GPU to give the CPU a bit more headroom in certain situations. I've got a KF CPU hence no iGPU. I also did some tweaking using Process Lasso. I limit MSFS to virtual cores 0-15 and the 4 Fenix programs to 16-19. Performance is certainly not as good as the PMDG 737, which is noticeable e.g. when panning around the virtual cockpit. 

Anyway, I recommend the circling approach into Bolzano rwy 19. It's a bit terrifying, very challenging - but mostly very fun!

May be they change it later ? I bought right after they released it .
