October 8, 20241 yr 2.2.0.403 A new update is now available via the Fenix Installer, this has a couple of optimisations that nets us a bit of high-priority CPU time, we hope that this may help some affected with the oscillations free up a bit of headroom and therefore alleviate the issue, let us know if it helps please! Additionally, some fixes to GPS data, and for those flying in the US - switching STARs should now be a bit easier Finally, FLX has learned how to behave itself a little better, so improvements all over the airplane really! Enjoy @everyone Avionics and Systems Optimised internal scheduling of display rendering Added cargo distribution to loadsheet Added AOC FREE TEXT Added AOC ATIS request via VATSIM and IVAO Added new source of GPS ephemeris data - updated NAVSTAR tracking algorithm with more current data, fully prepared for full GNSS constellation (Galileo/Beidou/etc) when the real A320 is able Improved internal W&B code to better support sharklets and ACTs Improved conditions for auto-tuning ILS Fixed approach transition altitude not being based on the entered QNH Fixed values like 0.11 being rounded in the RNP field Fixed STAR not being reloaded or cleared after changing runway Fixed aircraft freezing during rare circumstances when using the ACARS printer Fixed S speed being impossibly low at around 45 T gross weight Fixed SayIntentions ACARS not connecting if a Hoppie code wasn’t entered Fixed CLOSEST AIRPORTS not showing an EFOB Fixed “HUNDRED ABOVE” and “MINIMUMS” playing when an MDA/BARO was entered on the ground Fixed ACARS client not correctly respecting “invalid login code” responses Fixed ALPHA FLOOR engaging on approach when below 100 ft RA Fixed SPD LIM not showing with a dual SFCC failure Fixed certain speeds showing when they shouldn’t with a dual SFCC failure Fixed cross track error not showing on the ground Fixed ECP ALL button logic (it shouldn’t “remember” the last selected page) Fixed formatting issues of the ATC unit on DCDU Fixed FUEL X FEED OPEN light appearing when the valve isn’t fully open Fixed tailstrike protection chevron not being amber Fixed physical BARO MODE switch becoming out of sync when linked Fixed COM3 playing at 100% volume Fixed HF2 transmit indicator lighting up when HF1 was active Removed MAX FLT TIME limitation on yellow hydraulic low level (HYD RSVR ISOL VALVE INS) Art and Sound Fixed A319 & A321 safety card showing A320 Fixed flap rods in A319 and A320 Fixed overhead bin missing polys on high density cabin Fixed odd coloured paint on the wing of the A319 Fixed ATC model not being said correctly in-game (incorrect localisation key) EFB Improved cargo distribution to target an optimal CG Improved takeoff performance based on airport elevation Fixed EFB being blank on start-up if the previous session was quit with the EFB “sleeping” Flight and Engine Models Here we did a bit of work to the FADEC when it comes to FLX computations, some may have noticed a discrepency between the FADEC’s assigned thrust rating and what was actually achieved before - this has now been resolved by a thorough rework of the FADEC, but also with it’s associated data sources. Additional to this, as a bonus of giving something a rework - you get to improve certain other aspects too. You may now observe the FADEC rating subtly changing as you roll down the runway during takeoff, this is normal - the FADEC is continously computing the appropriate thrust output and therefore slighty varying EPR/N1 - this is now reflected across the range, but we’re still tweaking the IAEs a little.

Never complained about the SDK, or whats given to them on a platter and dug down and made a solid product.

October 8, 20241 yr Thank you for continuing support and updates. One of the best developers in business right now. Phenomenal. Will always support you guys.
October 9, 20241 yr Do you guys noticed it have a problem managing energy ? What i mean is i constantly need speedbreaks below FL100, up to the point i need to go flaps 1 and sometimes even until i go flaps 2. MSFS2020, 24, Fenix A320, Ryzen 9 9950X3D, ASUS TUF RTX 5090 ,G.SKILL 64GB 6000MHz CL28

I own only the A320. Its very hard to slow down in particular below FL100. The 'more drag" message is almost constant on any approach.

Yeah the aircraft just doesn't calculate enough time to slow down as well as descend. You can test this by removing all speed and altitude constraints so it can calculate an absolute optimum path. Then use basic rule of thumb of 1000ft altitude to lose x 3 + distance required to slow down to give what distance you should be away for given altitude and you will find that the path calculated by the fenix is just too steep. There is not enough distance to go down and slow down, so pretty much always will need the speedbrakes.

I flew RJTT to RJFF along the routing below in the updated A320-CFM model RJTT/34R N0461F380 DCT TIARA DCT GUSRO Y20 KIRIN HAWKSE RJFF/34 No issues. I think i got one request for more drag but apart from that nothing indicating a substantial issue. Is the aircraft slippery? .. i would say yes but not anything unmanageable. Will do other flights today and see i guess.
