No. If you uninstall the old version first the new installer install everything on drive C (Fenix genius approach). If not it will install in the existing directories. 

First flight in a very long time in the Fenix. Perfect from start to landing, couldn't be better. Nice Update. 😁

Wow, Finally the PFD brightness is  fixed!!😀  I can read the top line now.

Do you have EyeAdaptation disabled in the UserCfg? Only yesterday I found out that this significantly contributed to the dark displays. I'm pretty sure this is why some people claimed they were barely readable, while others insisted everything is fine.

Thanks for the heads up. I really like Amir‘s posts. Always the right dose of humour.

There is a brightness knob. If you turn the knob clockwise, it makes the screen brighter, if you turn it counter clockwise, it makes the screen darker. The neutral position which is the default is too dark for many. 

Oh thanks Bob I didnt know that.  It was fine before the update and more realistic.  Its annoying to have to turn all the knobs down on every flight.  But its not a big deal I can live with it.  I just hope I can dim the screens enough at night.

You don't have to turn the knobs down on every flight, because the default now is where it was set before with the knob at maximum. BTW, I have never flown an aircraft in real life where I didn't have to adjust something when I started a flight.

Hey,

Just to clarify what we did:
- Doubled the maximum brightness of the displays, not the default value
- Halved the default knob position, giving the same exact brightness on load-in as the previous build
- Doubled the total 'positions' of the knobs, so you have the same granularity as the previous build (e.g. more steps to cover the additional brightness range)

What this means in practice for you is if you don't touch anything, you'll get exactly the same behaviour as before, but now you can also turn the screens up more. I hope that helps clarify the changes!

Which is what I tried to explain......😉

There's a screenshot of the A319 in the launcher files

Gotcha!  Im on vacation so I haven't actually tried it yet, sounds like a good compromise

What I (so far) like the most about this newest update is the smoothing of the autopilot pitch changes. LNAV was already very good with the previous version but VNAV was a bit rough at times. Now this bird changes thrust, bank and pitch in a *very* smooth and convincing way without overshooting. It feels so real, I love it.

I didn't know Fenix A320 has remote MCDU support. I thought it was just for the EFB. How do you enable it?

it will appear as additional "app" if you open EFB on tablet.
