This is why Asobo needs a better and standardized templating system on part of their interactive modeling (how MSFS interacts with custom devs flight models), so people can actually use the flight models without having to invent their own proprietary methods. MSFS is great software overall, but the landings are troublesome in many planes, and the Fenix is probably less troublesome than most. There are too tiny of margins on the landing speed you have to hit in most planes, unlike the real world where being off a few kts usually makes almost no difference, it can bounce you in MSFS.

 

Aamir mentions a forum area for verified customers.  Where can that forum area be found?  Could not find it on their website.

Thanks,

The Fenix Forum is on the discord app. Once you join the discord you can link your discord with your profile on the Fenix website so that you're a verified user, and then you can get access to the forums within the Discord app. It works like a regular forum and looks really good, it's just inside Discord...

I resisted starting with Discord about a year ago, and once I started with Discord I visit there sometimes several times a day. Information on the G 1000 NXI, the Fenix, The Kodiak, The C 310, etc... It can't be beat. Often I ask a question and within minutes I get an answer, many times from the developer.  I love it.

Deleted my question..............found the answer. Apologies for causing some confusion.

I've gone off the Fenix in recent weeks. The FBW 320 to me is perfect and much better performing, for some reason that I don't care about. The gap between the two is extremely small now.

agreed.

This landing issue reminds me when PMDG started tweaking the Tiller Steering on all there planes. By the numbers the planes were taxing as the the math adds up on a real aircraft but in the P3D it was awful. They finally had to come up with a compromise.

I just want to be able to land the plane. If the numbers are incorrect, then so be it. It’s a sim, not a real Airbus.

This is fantastic explanation and interesting insight into the development. Much appreciated and makes me feel like my money was well spent with this developer. 

I had an awful landing last night in KBOS similar to everyone else's it appears. She floated down the runway and  hen dropped like a rock and bounced. I just bought it this weekend so I had never flown a previous version, I thought it was me. I am able to butter landing in the CRJ and 737 so I figured something might be off.  

Best,

again, agreed.  

What.... no one shouting as soon as as any topic comes to realism and the wish for having perfect flight physics and realistic instruments and system depth and a perfect MCDU (or FMC in Boeings):

"But IT`S A GAME who cares about real numbers real procedures and realism. IT`S ONLY A GAME!!! Get over it it´s only a GAME, the only thing important is 9999999999999 FPS, you are not here to become a real pilot only to play a flying-videogame so get over it when some things are different than in real cockpits, because no one cares if there is realism in a game. And X-Plane and DCS are nothing but games too. What did you say it´s a flight simulator - no it´s just a game! Because the 30 year old and beloved flight-sim-genre is officially no longer existent since two months ago that stupid it´s-only-a-game meme was invented by someone and repeated a dozen times since then in all forums and Discord chats, and all of you are adult kiddys only here to play this pretend-to-be-a-pilot-flying-game!"

No "but-it´s-a-game!" comments so far whenever any forum thread scratches the topic "realism and wish for realism and perfect physics and system depth?

Veeery good! - I begin to like this forum 🙂 and I absolutely LOVE that awesome Fenix. Can´t wait for the next update and especially the IAE turbines I have enjoyed so many hours in real life right next to my seat.

I don't have issues with hand flying but there's something wrong with the ground effect. When you get over the threshold the thing just becomes unstable screwing up the flare.

Someone said there is supposed to be an update by the end of this week. I will believe it when I see it.

I’m following also but things do happen so I’m not getting my hopes up. 

I've been trying different methods to bring this bird onto the deck in one piece. Thought i had it at one stage but nope.

 

Went back to the 737 after a bit and there is a world of difference between the two.

 

There is definitely an issue, but in my opinion its not ground effect. It starts well before that.

 

The 737 was so stable hand flying from 2000ft out, yet i was fighting the A320 all the way in, benign conditions.

I don't know who the someone is but as far as we're concerned we've never shared any concrete timeframes. "As soon as possible" is the answer.

Would highly recommend reading my post just one page prior.
