Thank you team Fenix! You may have just saved me $4K on a new PC. 😙

The flaps don't seem to be deploying consistently. Same was happening in the previous version as well. Pressing F6 and F7 doesn't do anything. But pressing them multiple times will.

Is it just me, or does 'Flaps Up' only seem to work on descent, and "Flaps Down" only seems to work on ascent?

On the ground, my assigned button lowers them for TO just fine. Once airborne, my flaps up button wont work so I use the handle (a quick test shows flaps down button working here). On approach, my flaps down button says phooey on me so I have to lower them with the handle (a test shows that flaps up does work at this point). After landing, the flaps up button works great. If they would act up in reverse I wouldn't even know there was a problem. 😁

Now let's see you put that bad boy down on Rwy 25 at KLZU.

I took lessons there. I'm pretty sure the runway was still intact when I left. 😮

Briscoe field, I have flown in there in real life.  Piece of cake in the A 320. 

Check this out. First flight in the updated version.

She's only 1 minute slower gate to gate between KDEN and KLAS than a real Frontier A320Neo

I've seen this (or something like it). I didn't notice the correlation between ascending and descending vs flaps extend or retract working or not from my flaps control - just some inconsistent behaviors. I'll have a closer look next flight!

Intro by @Aamir from their Discord:

○    Added simulation rate increase up to 2x (for now, will increase it as we do more testing)

 

Just a quick question: I have key bindings assigned via Keyboard to increase the sim rate. But this is not deploying the sim rate in the latest version of Fenix (on my end at least). Works on the other non Fenix aircraft within MSFS.

I did check the FMGC and EFB to see if there was a special assignment for sim rate, but not as far as I could determine.

Any ideas on what may be happening?

 

 

I had the same question, time acceleration key bindings still don’t work and I couldn’t find another way to do it in the aircraft.

Other than that, a great patch (performance increase is appreciated!) in a short period of time after release.

Edit: turns out it's in the maintenance section of the MCDU.

I tried the flaps numerous times during a flight, ascending and descending... no problems with my flaps switch. Hmmmm...

Oh well. After a few test flights and an update of the IGU 630 driver for good measure, I'm seeing no significant performance improvement. I guess I got excited and spoke too soon.

Now THIS is money well spent. What an incredible addon.

I have to agree! After two weeks of flying the Fenix today I decided to try the PMDG 737, and I spent the whole flight missing the A320!  That tablet is so useful; so much better than navigating through those FMC menus on the 737. It is all the little details, like that the jetway just automatically connects. Needless to say, I angered the 737 until PMDG brings its tablet and refinements. 

Great job Fenix!

I was able to turn off my iGPU and put the Fenix Displays back on the 3090. Took off out of Vegas with Vatsim traffic and the departure and performance was silky smooth. No pauses cycling through views. Great update.

My speed brakes don't work after update.

Have them assigned to an axis on CH Yoke.

I see the amber speed brakes flash in the eicam but they dont extend. Also after landing, cannot retract them with assigned axis.

Re-assigned axis, still no go.

Anyone seeing this?

I also have this issue. I did notice that about 1 minute after landing the speed brakes decided to retract. No amount of moving my assigned spolier axis or the aircrafts spoiler control would budge them.

Interesting. I've spent the last 45 minutes taxiing around Flytampa KLAS in a thunderstorm at night with AIG traffic set to 100%

I actually turned the FPS counter on. Getting 31-36 FPS and it is very smooth no stutters at all. I do see the occasional 28-29 FPS on the counter though. Turn the storm off and AIG traffic back to 65% and I'm in the 44 to lower 50s range. But taxiing KLAS at night and smooth? In both the PMDG 737 and the Fenix A320? Unheard of in the past. Now reality. Wish I knew what the FPS were before. Noy totally smooth, but smooth enough to enjoy.  

These guys are amazing....probably the best aircraft I have flown in a sim (started in 1988). Great to see a newcomer join the game and absolutely nail it right out of the gate...

Don't get me wrong, the A320 is very usable. And even when the FPS dives and it starts to become a slideshow... it's a smooth slideshow. 😁 I am getting a pretty consistent 6-8 Fps lower than the 737. My performance evaluation area is KSFO Rwy 28R. Once comfortablly airborne, the A320 gives me a smooth 33 FPS, but just after liftoff, I briefly see as low as 19-20. It was exactly the same prior to today's patch. I see about 26 FPS with the 737 at that spot versus 38ish when well airborne. I'm not expecting miracles because I'm running 4K with LOD 200 anc a few ultra settings with live weather and traffic... on a fairly pedestrian machine.
