Fenix A320 Block 2 is released

[thepilot]

Is there any trick to achieve smooth-looking displays? I am using 4K resolution, TAA, and ~60 zoom level in FSRealistic. This what it looks like, not very satisfactory:

 

When I zoom in, it's perfectly alright.

Other than that, I am very impressed.

Guys, I cannot get my Simbrief flightplan to import into the Fenix. It worked perfectly in Block 1. I have input my Simbrief name into the EFB, I have updated the Navigraph data in the Navigraph hub, I have rebooted my sim and MSFS a few times now. I keep getting the message that no Simbrief flightplan was found for my username

I think you need to put it in the MCDU under configuration > Datalink.

Plane looks great I'll wait for the A321 I like flying the bigger birds personally on mid to long routes.

It is already entered in that section, presumably after entering it into the EFB

EDIT: Okay, figured it out. My Simbried username was one character off. Doh!

Do you mean sharper/clearer displays? With 4K TAA they should be sufficiently easy to read. In fact I found the level of detail better than B1. Perhaps try to increase render scale.

Yes, exactly, less 'jagged' so to speak. I shall try that.

Did you configure GSX and the EFB as per the instructions? Then do this:

Thanks. I guess I just missed that page.

Strange since it works here. I have no navigraph though. Did you follow this advise from their discord:

**When updating your Navigraph Navdata, ensure your Fenix application is closed BEFORE updating.**

About the only thing I noticed is the fuel burn seemed to be a tad low but not sure?  I am not real familiar with the A320 but at FL320 cruising at Mach .78 I was seeing about 2500 lbs per engine.

What was your weight and ISA deviation?

I'm going off the tables here:

https://www.air-septimanie.com/pdf/technical/A320/en/A320PERFORMANCE.pdf

Based on those, at FL 320 and ISA, a Mach. 78 cruise gives a fuel flow of 5,100 pounds per hour (both engines) at 120,000 lbs. That's relatively light - but maybe you were doing a short sector and weren't fully loaded?

Getting the fuel consumption right was a big focus of the external engine model, so I would expect they have done extensive validation on this.

So much has already been said, I could add no more.  It’s really as good as everyone is implying and I am really having a blast flying it.

Got it sorted, thanks.

How? User error?

Anyone notice that the ILS indicators on the PFD are not bright and filled in when you are on short final. The LOC and GS    indicators  are dark and empty, like just the outline of them, not filled in. .

I would think that by now someone has done an ILS approach. Has anyone seen this issue. ?

...ba!

All the elation, as this is my favorite jetliner at the moment, but on my first flight after updating, from KDEN to KLGA, 30-mins to TOD, and while the scenery outside the plane looked like we were moving, the whole panel was frozen, nothing was updating like the clock. 😞

I will stick to shorter flights for now. 😞

*** EDIT ***

...just before the panel freeze, I was exorcising the Panel Display options in the external app, so perhaps that had something to do with it. 😞

I just now completed an *EPIC* KPDX to KSFO to a flawless landing, so perhaps don't play too hard with the Panel Display options while in-flight! 🙂
