The 321 is a dog, I’m looking forward to flying it haha.  Hot and high out of Calgary to places Air Canada goes is interesting.  And some Transat routes across the ocean.

Yayyyyy!😁😁

I had the £40 set aside since the A319 and A321 were announced. I already asked my girlfriend for some sim time on release date. Had to take her to a weekend getaway, but well...

 Just put her ion the closet

Thank you

To me, the A321 is like a turtle climbing a hill with a wounded leg, on reverse

Yeah, the 321 is an interesting beast - we need to do a little more work around the dispatch of it, potentially, as it is quite quirky in that way. CG is one thing, but the other is OEI performance limitations. We had a tester try a KLAS MTOW engine failure @ 42 degrees C. Suffice to say the airplane did NOT make it. After the report came through we did validation on our side and it turned out the sim matched the real aircraft's performance in this scenario very well - and there is no way that the aircraft would have been dispatched with anything close to MTOW. I spoke to a 321 pilot that flies out of KLAS frequently and he agreed that they regularly need to jig the airplane around/offload pax/dispatch limited when it came to operating the 321 out there in the summer. So, I think some folks are gonna forget that and there is currently no warning that the airplane may not make it OEI. Expecting bug reports for that. The other interesting thing he mentioned was that when they did finally depart, despite both engines happily working, they frequently had to ask for forgiveness for not making the altitude restrictions on departure - it couldn't climb quickly enough. 

Can y’all’s takeoff calculator not factor in climb performance? Just wondering.

By the time you're in the perf calculator, the aircraft is already loaded. In theory this needs to happen way before the perf calculator gets involved, but one of the nets we're gonna build will be in the perf calc area.

lol I get what you’re saying. This should really take place through simbrief but who knows what they have and don’t have. 
 

you know how many times I’ve had a fully loaded plane just to not be able to get numbers IRL? Dispatch is like….on yeah we forgot about that…bruh!

Hello Aamir,

were you guys also able to adjust the pitch and power settings which were good but not perfect according to blackbox? I never really cared in the fenix to learn the pitch and power value, but it that fixed so we can fly accordingly and learn the numbers?

Hey @Aamir since you guys are including the extended tanks for the a321, can you do the same for the A319? I want an ACJ sooo baaaad

Also, what about the A318? Any plans on that?

I would consider this, and my birthday lies during the release week...but, MSFS 2024 is coming soon...

+1 on that!
