Details directly from their Discord Announcement. (This Mod seems only applicable to the lvfr a318.  YMMV. TANSTAAFL)
 

Hey @everyone 

So the day that you may have been waiting for now is upon us. As of right now the v2.0.0 version of the Airbus A318 is live on flightsim.to, alongside the updated GSX profiles for the aircraft as well. You can find the changelog below as to what has changed compared to the previous release.

Small Disclaimer for now only the A318 is released as we're going to drop the updates gradually to make sure that there are no emerging issues that would affect all of the other aircraft also and so that we can gather valuable feedback from the community.

**Changelog**

**Processes**
- Moved build process from "legacy" to "new" (build process is now the same as FlyByWire / Headwind
- Moved all aircraft from FBW Experimental to FBW Development

**Core Changes**
- Updated wasm modules responsible for LNAV and VNAV with the appropriate engine thrust numbers per variant
- Updated wasm modules responsible for LNAV and VNAV with the appropriate aircraft dimensions per variant
- Updated fuel prediction algorithms to account for differences in MZFW for A318
- Recalculation and re-work of the speed tables for the A318ceo based on official numbers from Airbus
- Updated previously incorrect aircraft data from technical manuals, all aircraft now have accurate characteristics based on specific model numbers from Airbus
- Updated flight model including the following
- Repositioned fuel tanks
- Repositioned payload stations
- Repositioned engine placement
- Repositioned scrape points for sharklet / wing fences variants
- Updated MOI values for differences in weight and wing span

**Sounds and Visuals**
- Integrated "Newlight" into all aircraft [credit to Nicottine]
- Removed emergency exits from EFB where not applicable
- Removed emergency exits from ECAM --> Doors page where not applicable
- Integrated Navigraph charts into the EFB

**Seatmap**
- Re-done seating layout and capacity on all aircraft
- A318 -->  118 seats (Air France inspired)
- A318 received EU style business class seats that are a bit wider simulating the middle seat not being used.
- A318 ACJ --> 32 seats (British Airways London City inspired)

**Branding**
- Replaced FlyByWire branding where allowed / applicable on the EFB with Horizon Simulations branding

I have this.  I know it isn't anywhere near Fenix depth, and it isn't supposed to be, but it is a blast to fly and has a nice sound set.

I must try it with these mods.  It could take it to the next level.  I didn't pay much for it but I was happy with what I got for the money.

Looks good .. but ill hold out for RNAV since its using the FBW avionics.... . Their adaptation of the Working Title 787-10 with the Kurorin 787-8 with working RNAV is what im looking for.

Sorry but I am not into buying aircraft that has to be modded by freeware like FBW to get it to work somewhat properly. Not going down that road No LVFR or Captain Sim for me but you guys have a go at it.

The way i see it if a systems integrator like Horizon wants to "properly" mod a product to make it better for free and i have no personal objections to the developer where the original payware model came from i'm fine with it. I don't see LVFR sitting in the same space as Captain Sim. LVFR was pretty much up front with explaining that their product was not going to be FBW or Fenix level advanced and were seemingly honest in their marketing and the way they conduct their business unlike Captain Sim. So if Horizon thinks it can do the model justice by integrating the superior FBW avionics for the betterment of the community and all involved parties are ok with it then that's a great thing in my view.

 

Its not like we have a ton of options presently available either so as soon as that "mysterious 👻" RNAV feature shows up in the FBW avionics and it gets integrated by Horizon into the LVFR machines i'm all in until the Fenix equivalents show up.

Bingo!

I think it was on sale, but I paid about £8 for it.  I dont know what people expect sometimes.  I paid more than that for a flying rubber dinghy in the sim for heavens sake! 

Anyway, like I have said, I am fine with it for what it has set out to be.

Thanks for the gesture Buddy, just make sure you go over to those freeware modder's and give them a modest donation for their efforts..

How about you just make sure to steer clear of threads with titles of addons you find totally undesirable and just mind your own personal preferences?

How about that?🙃

How about you don't worry about my opinion and don't respond to me. If you don't like it block me.

We are just giving you the attention you came poking your nose in yearning for. You know it makes you feel wanted and special!😉

It is a bit flooded under the bridges these days!  

 

Horizon Simulations A319ceo - for LVFR A319

Originally created by kalinma

This mod has since then evolved into another beast, and it has started to take shape with a lot more accurate characteristics for an A319ceo. This mod should not conflict with other FBW mods and FBW A32NX.

Please make sure that if you're updating from a previous installation that you delete the old files from your community folder, and then extract / copy the updated ones back in there. Do NOT Overwrite 

Installation Steps

• Step 1: Make sure that you do own a Genuine Copy of LVFR A319
• Step 2: Make sure that said genuine copy is installed and updated to the latest by LVFR
• Step 3: Make sure to remove any previous versions of the mod from your community folder: "zLVFR-A319-FBW-Compatibility"
• Step 4: Download the updated version from here
• Step 5: Once downloaded extract the folder: "lvfr-horizonsim-airbus-a319-ceo" into your Community Folder
• Step 6: From the FlyByWire or from the Headwind Installer install SimBridge
• Step 7: If you're using GSX download our GSX profiles for the aircraft

Notes:

• FlyByWire A32NX is not required for the mod to work
• We do NOT recommend installing any other improvement mods, or any additional mods for the LatinVFR A319 alongside this mod, as they could interfere with the FlyByWire systems.

!! A genuine copy of LVFR A319 is needed for this mod to work !! This mod works independently from FBW but install FlyByWire Simbridge from the FBW Installer.

• In-house developed sounds for the CFM & IAE engines
• EFB Ground Services
• GSX Support

KNOWN ISSUES:

• LVFR's cabin is only visible from the outside
  • This is not something that we can resolve due to how LVFR handles their models within the simulator as they have their cockpit and cabin models created as one unit.
  • Therefore when we integrate FlyByWire systems the interior is not going to be visible as we're replacing the cockpit altogether resulting in the cabin being gone on internal views
