A320 Immersion by Parallel 42 any good?

Featured Replies

Would appreciate any feedback on the A320 Immersion by Parallel 42 released last week!

1. Any large impact on the frame rates when effects are visible?

2. Are the effects scalable? Can the user decide when those effects appear? Wing vortex are always on in clouds or only at certain humidity?

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Cheers.

Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.

I’ve had it since release (1 week ago?). Not sure if I would buy it again though. Some of the effects are great, but I don’t pay attention to them that much (mostly in the cockpit). They do look impressive in external view though. First flight I started on a rainy day, and water could be seen dripping from the engines and wings.

It’s possible to customize a lot through the toolbar interface. Probably there’s more in-depth info on their website.

Not sure about the condensation effect on the wings though, seems to always be present?

I have it also.  Not that noticeable.  However I will say I do like the base simfx.  Seeing AI contrails in the air look significantly better.

Fly the Fenix a bunch ? - You'll dig this mod.  Many cool effects that take bad weather to another level of immersion.

Thanks guys for all your input, much appreciated!

Just my opinion, the A320 Immersion brings nice effects, but $15 on top of the $25 expent in the base SimFX, is way too much for what it has to offer.

Yap, I thought about that too, it is 60% of the cost of the Fenix itself, pretty steep....

I probably wouldn’t get the Fenix addon again. But what about the base package? It should add effects for all airplanes, or? 777 effects?

Absolutely tanks my performance. Did not even have one successful flight because of the slide show it causes. Tried multiple times. I am more happy with it deleted.

you need 2 addons for this to work? I'm confused. I thought the immersion 320 addon was just one piece of software.

Immersion is an additional addon to SimFX, so you need both.

I would not be surprised if this pricing model may turn out to be a bit of a greedy mistake for them.

The comment is uninformative without your system specs.

The common term for this is cash grab.
