- Fixed A321 tyre not having correct values

- Fixed drain mast

 

**EFB**

 

- Fixed take-off weights being incorrect in loadsheets when using LBS in SimBrief

- Fixed CG calculations sometimes being incorrect across all aircraft types

- Fixed potential race condition between passengers being loaded and loadsheets being sent, which would rarely cause preliminary loadsheet weights to be incorrect

- Fixed A321 seatmap not blocking out seats 11A, 11F, 25A & 25F

- Fixed incorrect CG when boarding with GSX

- Fixed cargo not loading when using real-time mode in A319

- Fixed planned ZFW and GW not being shown after SimBrief import

- Fixed ENG MODE SEL typo in approach checklist

- Fixed row 13 existing in A319 seat map

- Fixed DLH, BAW, RYW, EIN, UAE SimBrief OFP not showing

- Adjusted preliminary loadsheet behaviour back to the previous logic of being sent upon importing a SimBrief flightplan and when making amendments to planned weights, so that you can verify and amend your weights before starting the boarding process

- Attempted fix to prevent aircraft image being too big on first load of ground services page

 

**FM**

 

- Adjusted A321 trim efficiency

- Adjusted A321 pitch moments

- Gently adjusted A321 elevator

Grateful for the continuous attention to the product line. Thanks for the heads-up.

I have been waiting “patiently” for the FBW A380, but seeing the commitment from Fenix I may just pull the trigger and get their A320. 

It's a small update for the A 320

Been flying with the update for about an 2 hours. No issues. A320 (don't have the expansion). The new installer is great.

I love this:

- Fixed one passenger sometimes not leaving the aircraft for a long time - reworked sync with GSX

Just like real life!

Your PC is more than good enough to run the Fenix well and also benefit from native Frame Generation to make it smooth.

If you like detailed payware aircraft, you'll love the Fenix Airbuses.

Sure hope it got rid of the "retard, retard, retard, retard, retard, retard, retard, retard, retard....

Bwaaaahaaaa 🤣🤣

Interested to see if this fixed the wing wobble with the A321, where the elevator seems to come up alternately on either side so it feels like you’re on a ship rolling in heavy seas. 

Is there now any way of getting more than 2x time compression? or is it still limited to a max of 2x?

Updated. That's good. The only thing that I noticed was the Retard callout so good to see.

Not yet, but they said on their Discord it's being worked on. Requires a complete rewrite of their "core timer" and they have blocked "several months" for the work.
