Found it myself:

320 V2.2.0.313

(This changelog is for the A320 update ONLY)

Avionics and Systems

  • Fixed non-repeating retard callouts
  • Fixed wind heading jitter during no wind conditions
  • Improved FBW roll control during landing
  • Fixed alternate fuel not being calculated after takeoff
  • Fixed RMP SEL light logic
  • Fixed reading lights not working
  • Tuned alpha protection
  • Added cabin light flicker during engine start
  • Massively reduced input delay for FBW
  • Retuned all PIDs for faster inputs
  • Retuned all protection executions for faster inputs
  • Added ground effect compensation system
  • Improved flap extension and retraction speeds, plus added easing to the animation
  • Improved IAE asymmetric thrust tables
  • Improved roll feedforward to make it adapt to airspeed
  • Tuned alpha protection for all variants
  • Tuned FBW for all variants
  • Tuned auto land for all variants
  • Fixed spoilers not extending in some situations
  • Fixed oil pressure not showing red below the 60 PSI threshold
  • Fixed G LOAD showing +- value
  • Fixed constraints with 5 characters not being left-justified
  • Fixed glide indication on LS ROSE not respecting brightness
  • Fixed LS course not being available in LS rose mode
  • Fixed more than one config memo showing
  • Fixed SPEED mode being activated when thrust set above AT limit
  • Improved performance very slightly
  • Fixed spoiler disarming when unpausing if a spoiler axis was assigned

Art and Sound

  • Improved exit sign / emergency light brightness
  • Fixed incorrect min animation values on flaps
  • Added new cabin emissive
  • Added new cabin window textures
  • Added copy of Interactions.xml without highlights
  • Improved flap position and animations for all aircraft types
  • Improved fan blade animation at low RPM
  • Fixed flickering on belly panel
  • Fixed rivet normal issue on nosecone
  • Fixed cargo door handle decal flickering
  • Fixed incorrect material assignment on aileron rivets
  • Fixed triangulation issue on elevators
  • Fixed glareshield texture regression from .407
  • Fixed flap decals being cut off
  • Fixed rear window inner frame having a gap
  • Fixed artifacts on MECH call button
  • Removed unused effects
  • Added cockpit vibration sounds
  • Improved CFM N2 sounds on approach
  • Fixed AIR COND decal missing from overhead panel
  • Fixed cabin windows at night and further improved textures
  • Fixed window blind ambient occlusion
  • Fixed flickering on flap canoes
  • Fixed CFM engine start too quiet
  • Fixed wind sound not looping
  • Improved IAE buzzsaw
  • Fixed RAT door not opening on all variants
  • Fixed Elec Hyd. pump sound volume across cabin/cockpit
  • Fixed exterior packs not being audible after engine start/dual pack ops
  • Fixed cabin volume levels for cab fans and packs
  • Added MLG extension/retraction sounds in cabin

  • Fixed engine reverser noise in flight
  • Fixed volume of nose gear vibration on rotation

EFB

  • Fixed EFB messages sent during aircraft boot being cleared
  • Added ability for announcement packs to include an EFB background by adding a PNG or JPG to the announcement pack directory. Custom user BG’s override this: https://kb.fenixsim.com/specific-efb-backgrounds
  • Added aircraft type to status bar
  • Added ZFWCG symbol to mass and balance chart
  • Improved cargo distribution based on aircraft type - payload is loaded into different compartments based on passenger load and other factors, before all payload was equally split between all holds
  • Fixed EFB getting stuck while loading if it couldn’t fetch the METAR
  • Fixed some cases of high flex temps outputting TOGA instead of max flex
  • Added ability to change the cabin light brightness. More improvements planned in this area
  • Fixed take-off weight input not automatically submitting when using KG. LBS will still need to be manually closed if weight is less than 100.00
  • Fixed runway slope not being factored into take-off performance calculations - previously a static conservative runway reduction amount was applied to improve performance results
  • Fixed flex temperature not reducing as much as expected as runway elevation increases
  • Fixed some bad take-off performance calculations when in WET conditions
  • Reduced the size of view METAR/TAF/ATIS buttons
  • Fixed TOPL limited results not showing the highest TOPL result available
  • Updated SimBrief aircraft performance profiles to use the correct flat rated thrust temperatures
  • Various bug fixes in takeoff performance calculations

Flight and Engine Models

  • Input latency specific fixes/adjustments
  • Implemented custom externalised ground effect controller
  • Implemented initial tuning of ground effect controller
  • Implemented custom externalised taxi friction - unfortunately as with all aircraft, when it is wet it gets significantly more sticky - we haven’t been able to fix that core-sim behaviour yet, we hope Asobo take a look at this soon.
  • Adjusted ram drag on dead engines
  • Slightly untwisted wing root
  • Adjusted parameters influencing wing stalls at high AOA and extreme low speed
  • Reworked reverse on all variants except A320 IAE

Installer

  • Fixed MSFS not being detected when starting in a non-admin account
  • Fixed Installer not launching in some cases from non-admin accounts
  • Fixed some cases where download/install will hang and not complete
  • Fixed multiple downloads being queueable at once

You figured that would have been part of the original announcement. Thanks for finding it and sharing the change log.

I have reopened this thread--though the Fenix A320 update and their A319/321 release happened concurrently, they *are* separate, and those folks that may not be interested in the 319/321 extension at the moment might not be aware of the release of a rather significant update for their Fenix A320.

Flying with the updated A 320 now, FPS are improved...

 

 

 

I wonder if Fenix will implement a WX radar soon? PMDG have accepted the limitations of the sim and gone ahead and included it with the 777 so maybe Fenix will do the same.

As far as I remember Fenix stated that they can't technically implement it and due to limited resources won't be researching such possibility. If it won't bather customers it won't bother developers LOL

I personally all for WX radar. I think even without tilt WX radar is still valuable asset.

Is this a self install, or a 'remove the old", add the new install?

Just run the installer and it will update. They redid the installer a little while back.

What an update. Great FPS and hand flying feels much more enjoyable.

Between my three tubeliners, the PMDG 737-777 and the Fenix, the Fenix now gets the best frame rates. 

 

 

 

I never saw this update go in. Is it done in the background now ?

nope  you have  to install it, open up  the fenix installer and  if its not  installed  already  there  will be  a  update  against  the  320

Testing the new patch I did 2 flights, my target was verifying the flare/floating problem. The first manual landing was like gliding along the runway and it gave me a bad feeling (hoping for my mistake), the second one was an autoland and it seems behaving correctly, no more light nosewheel up for a long time.

P.S.:Updated to 2.2.0.313 from the new installer 3 days ago.

Missing the PMDG DC6 in MSFS 2024 (she's here, but...).
