I care.  It has jet engines doesn't it?

Regarding the new x-wind flight dynamics & fbw fine tuning and after reading the extensive description and watching the videos I wonder if the new FBW compensations used to cope with the rolling moments due to rudder input for uncrabing on landing or during a x-wind takeoff run as well as other fine tunning aspects of the implemented FBW logic are based on the RW modes or specific to the Fenix under MFS and required due to the limitations imposed by the MFS flight dynamics and overall physics model?

 

The FBW logic is just computing work to change surfaces based on this logic so that should be complaint with real world fbw laws and modes. The flight model on the other hand was tuned to get reasonable results

Yep, "95% of all simmers don't even know or care which engines an aircraft has..." 🙄

or they wouldnt bother putting engines on it. 

alas. great news with the fenix.

Super update.

I might not truly understand half of the complexities and details that go into these things but that absolutely does not mean I don't appreciate it. Just knowing you're flying an addon plane with so much love, care and attention put into it, makes for a better experience. Another even more important thing is coming to appreciate these things by learning about them as you use the addon more.

You watch or read a tutorial, gain more insight into these systems, see the detail, understand the care put into them and you're basically discovering new things on a continual basis, that prospect is also truly exciting. You feel like it's a platform that can help you grow your knowledge as well.

That's why I don't have much respect for that "Ah people don't understand it anyways, it can start and do that basics" attitude towards a plane. Then after 5-10 flights there's nothing more to discover, learn or be excited about.

They have to be compliant with the real world modes/rules. What was done here was tuning the parameter responses and controllers to achieve the correct intended result and fixing bugs inhibiting certain parameters from working under the conditions they should have been working in before, and adjusting some of the code to better represent the real world modes.

Very impressive details to program into an already incredible product. Thank you for this update.

Great stuff! Thanks, Love flying your Bus I have done thousands of hours with it and still can’t get enough. I really really Hope you’re secret project is the a340-300 it would be so cool to do long range with Fenix quality!

Curious question for any who might know: Are the IAE's getting the new proprietary external engine model first, followed shortly after by the current CFM's?

So like: V2 includes IAE's with external engine model, new external model and textures, new cockpit model and textures, updated sounds, new flypad, bugfixes, a signed T-Shirt by Aamir, and updated flight dynamics, and then V2.1 will be the CFM's with external engine model?

Or is it all planned in one update?

Correct

[Aamir 2,907]

The CFMs will get everything the IAEs do, except the engine model, which will be added later.

Quick question Aamir, do you recommend DX11 or DX12 with the Fenix A320?

I do love the Fenix and this sounds like a great update but I still find it quite hard on frames compared to Pmdg or other aircraft I fly. Do others find this too? Any suggestions specific to fenix?
