They’ve surely been working on this for years, and my guess is they were hoping to release it ahead of Fenix. If it comes out soon, we’re only talking about a difference of a few months—but surely something that will have a huge impact on their profitability.

They were probably never going to beat Fenix. Mind you, Fenix delayed the A321 and A319 because they did block 1 and block 2 first, before releasing the A321 amd A319.

But if Aamir felt pressed, he could have prioritized the A321 and A319 before block 1 and block 2. Fenix probably believed that FSLabs are notoriously slow and they were right.

I would be more looking forward to this if it was a NEO or A330. The pricing of this will be interesting, will they keep it high as their P3D products? Or make it more reasonable. 

I don't think I will buy it as I have a very good Fenix A321/20/19 as is. Will wait and see what they actually have to offer and the differences between this and Fenix. 

I'll wait and see what develop's, but as far as i am concerned at the moment Fenix have this covered. Why oh why did they not go for the neo's? 

Why did they go with Ceo version is out of my mind - The package only includes A321 (Sharklets/non sharklets as well as both engine types IAE/CFM). Nah I don't think I would bother with it. The flight deck pictures looks almost similar to what they have in P3D so no change - in contrast Fenix's textures are spot on. Yeah this is not going to end well with Fslabs, If not NEO then at least they should have included other variants (A320/A319) in same package to compete with Fenix. How many people would buy A321 again considering majority of people have accustomed with Fenix A321? 

Well probably Lefteris pretend the none existence of Fenix like he pretended the none existence of MSFS at the beginning lol.

I mean really really, somebody tell Lefteris 101 of business, not only he is going to compete against a well established add-on in MSFS that considered to be the "king", he is even releasing it to 2020 while we are now embracing 2024 🤣. Okay at least do NEO or maybe A330 but nah. 

I must say, I gotta give it to RSR, he fully embarrassed MSFS back in 2019 and went full-in and now it is paying back with PMDG 737 being one of the best selling add-ons and they mastered MSFS development cycle (do you recall how much of learning curve PMDG had at the beginning).

I was a big FSLabs fan during P3D time, but as of now I don't see a single reason to buy this.. Couldn't be happier with the now (nearly) completed Fenix A32X Series 🙈

Indeed. And personally, I like the Fenix much better as a developer. Their dev team (and Aamir) is SO nice and forthcoming and open with regards to their developments. I'll just stick with the Fenix. I have a feeling, that FSLabs aren't going to challenge Fenix on the price either.

I think it's gonna be double of what Fenix is asking.... but that's just a personal observation/reflection. 🙂

 

Late on the Party.. 

They should do such a release with the Concorde first, i bet this would be a Bomer, nobody is anymore interrested in A320 Familie AC's, we have a Ton now, thats enough..

cheers 😉

It really shouldn't matter whether you prefer Fenix or FSLabs, this is good news for everyone. FSLabs has always raised the bar. They know that they have competition, so their aircraft will likely be the new No. 1 A321. Now, do you guys believe Fenix will just sit idle and stay the No. 2? Competition has always been good, I think the next few years will be very interesting for us Airbus drivers of any camp.

This is the difference between PMDG and FSLabs, or should I say, Randazzo vs Lefteris. Randazzo clearly saw the potential of MSFS and jumped on the bandwagon so early. Lefteris thought the P3D market would last forever and it was bizarre when he announced the Concorde for P3D back in the fall of 2020, when MSFS had already been released and it was gaining traction.

Now if Lefteris had also jumped on the MSFS bandwagon early and attempted to push out an A319/A320/A321 before Fenix could release their A320, things could look radically different now. But nope, he was still a believer in P3D up to and including 2021, and by then, Fenix had a huge headstart over FSLabs.

You snooze, you lose.

FS Labs who?

There is always room for one more. 

The cockpit looks little better then fenix. Fenix look during daytime little cartoony, But will it be worth the money when you already got the fenix who knows. Maybe they do some ground breaking stuff like in p3d. 

Maybe this will survive if it's a Marketplace release unlike Fenix?

Having alternatives is always great ! 

The more I have the more I can uninstall !!!  ☺️
