Does anyone know is it possible to hear stock ATC? I can hear my AI pilot make calls but ATC feed come with static!

You're using default ATC and AI with FS 2024 right ?  If so make sure under Sound Options you have the correct assignments to your sound device. If you have multiple output devices this can happen.

Audio Settings: Check if the ATC volume is set correctly in the sound settings. Sometimes, adjusting the character voice volume can help

AI Traffic Interference: If AI traffic is enabled, it might be causing audio conflicts. Try disabling AI traffic in the settings

Third-Party Add-ons: If you're using BeyondATC or other mods, they might be interfering with the default ATC audio

Key Bind Conflicts: Some users have reported that custom key binds can interfere with ATC sounds. Clearing conflicting key binds might resolve the issue

I continue to enjoy this great A321. A couple more flights, LPPT-LEBL and LPPT-LPMA, which, although I received a warning screen saying my graphics settings were too high and might impact performance, I ignored because they're not that high and MSFS is performing smooth as silk, even with this complex aircraft simulation.

Some details:

- LNAV sometimes banks the aircraft a bit too agressively (?) specially crossing "fly over" waypoints;

- I had to fight my neural net (rather old, I must say...) and patience before I could make my X52 throttle work for the reverse thrust too 😕

Thanks. Unfortunately none from above. Checked everything 😞

In the settings, navigate to Sound and ensure that "ATC Voices" is enabled. Make sure your chosen audio device is selected as the default output in Windows and within the sim. Also, ensure the volume is turned up in both the sims sound settings and the device's volume. The radio volume in your aircraft's cockpit might be set too low. Adjust the radio volume using the controls in the cockpit. finally, in the sound settings, you can try disabling "Headphone Simulation"

Thanks! I checked all pf above. Fslabs mutes two MSFS sliders one for environment and one for another thing (can't remember) but ATC volume is up. I also check to make sure all default devices is selected in Fslabs sound option (in MCDU). It could be exclusive MSFS 2024 bug who knows. Now I wonder if anyone using MSFS2024 have the same probelm or just me. Note: ATC works with PMDG 777 no problem and somewhat in Inbuild 350 but lags 

Does anyone know where to get  FSlabs 321 simbrief profiles?

As each frame has its own figures, there's no universal profile and they all have to be adjusted per given frame.

Having said that, those are some generic ones and should give you pretty accurate results:

A321-211 (CFM):

I use the ones ha5mvo linked, and they're fine.

Note that each livery has customisable weights and seating layout. I load the livery in the sim to retrieve the weights and pax, then create a unique SimBrief profile for each livery based on the generic profile for the aircraft type. Retrieve the weights from the 'AIRFRAME WEIGHTS' page on the MCDU (PAYLOAD page 3/3)

Tips:

Leave the baggage weight per passenger to 0, passenger weight must be 80 kg / 175 lb.

SimBrief 'Empty Weight' = 'Dry Operating Weight' in the MCDU (not 'Basic Weight')

What's the issue with the rudder control on the ground? I use the twist on my joystick. I can't properly control ground taxing and have to use the steering control on the left.

I had another issue with the plane this morning the AP wouldn't engage. 

Also how are pilots setting the throttle? The 0-100% for X and Y or without?

Does anyone know how to pushback if GSX failed? Any alternatives?

This is how I've configured mine:

On the MCDU, select ‘OPTIONS’, page 3/3. Select ‘CONTROLS’, then ‘RUDDER PEDALS’. Set NWS to OFF "Pedals work in tandem with steering tiller axis"

Then I assigned the joystick twist axis to 'Nose Wheel Steering Axis' in MSFS.
 

The instructions (Introduction manual, page 9 >)describe how to set zones on your throttle using the MCDU. My VKB has detents I can fit to the frame so I know where to set it without looking at it.

I struggle to set up my tca, when I see that it took me 30 seconds to set the same thing on the fenix and that it's been 3 days since I've been swimming and swimming to get the same thing on the fslabs

I honestly would rather prefer a cabinless aircraft, or at least an option to allow for that.... I don't want to spend any resources painting stuff I really don't need...

Just my .02 not worth a nickel but I agree, I don't think any add-on in 2025 should come with at least the "option" for a cabin personally.  

Same as airport terminal interiors.  I can't stand pulling up to the gate and not seeing a terminal interior anymore.  Just makes the sim feel more alive for me but I understand not everyone feels that way so make it optional.

Especially if none of this impacts performance anymore.  Heck, not only do I have cabin but it's full 🙂

If the ATSU way failed, just use the GSX commands under the Options menu.
