December 20, 20223 yr A310 is arguably a bit more similar to Boeings (though firmly still an Airbus of course). Honestly though, the A310 and the FBW are both free so you can’t go wrong. If you like it though, definitely buy the Fenix, it’s my favourite airliner right now.

After years of PMDG 737 in P3D I am a complete convert to Airbus. They are much smarter machines. But really looking forward to the 777 Just to add a caveat, VNAV is currently in testing in the experimental version, and performs fairly well with minor bugs here and there(hence experimental), for several months now. VNAV however is not currently tied to LNAV drawing, so you can sometimes get the LNAV drawing weird predictive turns as it's based on current speed rather than predicted, however the drawing will sort itself as your speed better reflects the expected sitatuion
January 21, 20233 yr Author Hey Guys, I am just getting acquainted with FBW and wanted to know if it's possible to save the panel state? Mainly just hoping to be able to retain brightness settings which were are uniformly dim. Thanks all, amazing so far and we don't have the engines running yet! I do see the EFB can import MSFS plans--does it work pretty well? I'm using the SimBrief one now as i follow along a video...

January 22, 20233 yr Welcome to the 'Bus ! I would try the FBW A320N: FlyByWire Simulations .. and if you like it, try the Fenix A320. They're both tremendous aircraft and the FBW Development & Experimental are constantly updated and improved - always lots of new improvements to try out... 9800X3D | 5080 | 32GB | 2TB NVME | Dell Ultrasharp U3415W 34" | 3440 x 1440 60Hz

Anything else (w&b, switches etc.) are not saved. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

January 23, 20233 yr Author Outside of a stuttering issue I like the FBW A320NX it's really a fantastic project and I enjoyed learning about the different systems and getting it from gate to gate which I did today for a first time after 4 trial flights where I didn't quite know what I was doing and ended up aborting. Right now it seems like if the stuttering issue is solved there won't be a good enough reason to go w/ the Fenix for me for now at least. It's working fine w/ A Pilot's Life and GSX Pro which is a requirement for me. The nose wheeling steering took a little effort but it's good now. I understand from their Discord channel this issue is being worked on currently so standby for some improvement. Thanks All!

January 26, 20233 yr Author For those who have used both, can you speak to whether or not you can import an MSFS WM flight plan w/ step climbs into the Fenix? Of course also missing in the FBW is weather and terrain radar but otherwise the FBW is really a lovely plane!
