Someone asked Aamir what planes you will get in the expansion. Here is his response taken from the Fenix Discord:

Well, you actually get 8 aircraft for £39.99.

A319 CFM
A319 IAE
A319 CFM+SL
A319 IAE+SL
A321 CFM
A321 IAE
A321 CFM+SL
A321 IAE+SL.

Fenix continues to deliver and impress in spades. A319/A321 as an expansion package for 39.99 GBP / US$ ~50 !! (all inheriting the new enhancements coming to the 320). Really looking forward to the flight model v2 and fly-by-wire v2. Also intrigued by how they're going to raise the visuals bar on top of what is already delivered in the current version of the aircraft.

.....
In V2 Block 1, you will get FBWv2, FMv2, the first of our new displays (ISIS, and smaller displays will come later), all our code-side performance optimisations (including the new display render tech!), a good chunk of the non-dependant avionics improvements throughout the airplane, including our new VNAV, and bug fixes aplenty. Full changelog will be with you when we roll out. This, then, will set the stage for the second phase of delivering V2, which we expect to conclude by the end of September (this year, before the 2024 memes start!). Block 2 will include the new visual model, IAE and external engine model, further avionics fixes, EFBv2, and any revisions or improvements we see required to Block 1.
.....
As a taster and a thank you for the patience, later next week we will release some screenshots to demonstrate what exactly it is we’re aiming to achieve with Block 2 while you wait for it - specifically in this case, with the visual model. The entire aircraft has been painstakingly rebuilt - raising the bar from what we managed to achieve with our first version, but also consuming lots of time and resources - all for free.
.....
Well, I’ve been keeping a secret from you all. It’s not a very good secret, given I believe most would have guessed what is to follow. In parallel with revamping the A320 with V2, we have also been building an A321 and A319. The improvements we've made with V2 have provided a stronger foundation to build upon for this expansion. We intend to release these by the end of the year, as a single expansion package, for £39.99 - and yes, as is with the A320, sharklets will follow, and for free. So, September for Block 2, and A321 and A319 by the end of the year. Early into 2024, we will update all our product lines with Sharklets, for free.
.....

I'm sorry, that is simply not okay, I want to pay $140. $40 for all that, bah! does it even come with a keylogger? Flight simming really isn't what it used to be.

Pft, back in my day you paid $40 to get into the AirSimmer Fenix Beta that goes belly up after 13 months of missed release dates. 😂

In all seriousness, man Fenix has been busy! I truly did not expect all of this.

[Car147 2,297]

Simply one of the best dev's out there. No waffle, just gets on with the job, and delivers ...... at a fantastic price for what your getting.

PS Please feel free  do a either a  A330- A340-A350 when you get a chance.

Nice surprise on the A321 news. So much for the rumored FSLabs A321 that has been spotted flying around. Either way, it’s nice to see all these planes coming out soon. Can’t wait for the v2 and new aircraft. Thanks Fenix.

Maybe it was the Fenix A321 that's been flying about.

Felix is just such an awesome developer and communicator. Thanks Amir !

No, it was a FSLabs dev. It has been mentioned several times.

Fenix has upped the game again. All before 2024. Sheesh.

Wow, we're much closer than I thought! I did not expect to see the 319/321 this year at all.
