Fenix Version 1.0.2.104, released on 2022-06-01

Recommended Posts

Intro by @Aamir from their Discord:

Hello @everyone (I've used "Hello Everyone" like 5 times in a row now, someone please think of something new and send in suggestions on a postcard) - sorry it took us so long to get this patch out to you. We had some very complex changes to make with a large knock-on impact to other areas. TL;DR The big things worth noting: - More performance improvements (up to 25% w/ an average of 16% across our testers - CPU on Quality/Balanced showing the most improvement) - Installer fixes/improvements - Lots of crash fixes (start-up etc) - Better panel state behaviour (spawning at gate will be truly cold & dark now) - Keyboard F/CTL support added, we're continuing to work on hardware bindings etc - Added cockpit texture quality option to reduce VRAM usage (low VRAM cards will see FPS improvements from this) - EFB general stability and load-in improvements, pushback fixes amongst others As we're starting to clear the usability issues we're setting our sights on product improvements; expanding hardware support, save states, autoflight - basically anything that we think could be better. To keep everyone looped in with our current roadmap, the current priority order looks like this: - Deployment, Stability & Performance. Get as many customers running the Fenix A320 without significant errors, crashes, or performance issues. - Clean & Tidy. All the little things that've come up over time that weren't super high priority, but regardless should be addressed. - Improve & Build-upon. Start improving what we have, treating the release as a 'base' to add more features, improve existing ones and generally keep the aircraft cutting-edge. This will include external engine modelling, autoflight enhancements, displays improvements and more. - Expand. Once we have a CFM A320 that lives up to our expectation, we will then be strapping some more bits to it. Some pointy bits on the ends of the wing, and some more powerful bits under the wing. From there who knows... Oh and PayPal is working now. We've also bolstered our support team by a factor of 3 due to the much-higher-than-anticipated number of support tickets. We apologise if you're still waiting on a reply, but the response times should only improve from here. Thanks again to everyone for being so patient with us, the dev team haven't yet had a day away since launch so I'm really hoping this patch gives us a bit of 'clear air' to let them see the sun for a few minutes. Unless it's Dave, in which case he has no interest in seeing the sun and would probably just point and shout at it.

That's a lot of stuff, Fenix team has been very busy! Unfortunately, I'm not able to test until tomorrow but their priorities seem to be on point.

Thanks again Aamir! Looking forward to your upcoming Support Forum, too. Guess this means the launch was, in fact, a success!

Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.

There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you.
It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Does one need to completely uninstall the previous version prior to installing the new update?

Also I see no mentioning of xbox controller fix for the throttle only going to the detents.

Just download the Installer via the FenixApp, launch it and it will take care of the update. No manual uninstall required.

Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.
