Four planes ago...
I have the same condition--I bought Phenom 300E months ago and have yet to fly it! And, same same w/ Citation I bought it and prefer Longitude, so it was just a mistake to buy the Citation X. I am so stuck on my routine which involves Self Loading Cargo, BATC and GSX and what I really want and I don't know if any others beyond Fenix A320 exist is a plane I can walk up the air stairs, open a door, and walk into the cockpit. I got hooked on this ritual a while back when I discovered Fenix A320 supports this and I love starting flights that way with a walk around, then a walk up and into the plane. That aligns a bit better with reality than does Shift-C, though have to Shift-C to actually get into the seat after opening the cockpit door. IFly MAX 8's doors can't be opened from the outside like Fenix's can; and PMDG 777-200LR when its door is open which happens I think automatically when GSX air stair butts up to it for some reason won't let me walk in.

GSX Updates
I use Task Scheduler to run FSDT Installer at windows logon and it's great. I never have to look at that ugly alert that GSX needs updating and it's therefore always current when I initiate a flight.

GSX Updates
I use GSX every flight and jetways work fine, what are you referring to?

Don't know about issues w/ AIG as I don't use it, just FSLTL. FSLTL is working as it always did for me--static and dynamic work fine. I think the main difference between it and the newer FSLTL is that traffic is less in sync with real world flight schedules and I think it's mainly just delayed.

Reasons why Fenix A320 autopilot does not engage?
Good thought. I just looked and there is a key combi, Ctrl-1, that is a binding I don't use and can't think of anytime I would use that key combi, as I use a button on my yoke. And, this never happens w/ any birds except Fenix, and even with it, only a handful of times. It shouldn't hurt to disable this key combi though, so I will. Cheers

I use BATC for ATC, but don't use its traffic injection and management. It's not ideal, but for me it's a definite net plus. And use FSLTL's old injector which does not require the Navigraph Ultimate sub to function.

What's with the performance in SoCal?
I guess I must not have the California update because right now flying out of KSAN>KRNO and performance was typical for any similar environs. Native rate during taxi and shortly after TO was about 53FPS-native, and that was in the IFly MAX 8, TLOD 150 on the ground, and all else at Ultra. I lock it to 60FPS-fg. And CPU load was modest. I'll check California update status after landing...

Any way to make mouse movement smoother?
Thanks you guys I just realized it's been so long since I used a mouse pad...about 6 years since I moved out here and forgot the old pad! Duh! Yes, the issue is purely mechanical which a good pad would help alot with I'm sure. This laminate desk seems smooth and it is but friction exists and a pad should improve on that. Cheers

Reasons why Fenix A320 autopilot does not engage?
Fortunately this does not happen often but when it does I always end up restarting the flight so it becomes one of those wastes of 40 minutes of time only to have to restart as I don't want to hand fly long flights. Normally I will hand fly to ~10K feet then engage the AP and all normally works as it should, but sometimes it just never wants to engage. Today, from LIPZ to EDDB went all the way to 18K feet hand flying and it never would engage. I always make sure the rudder is neutral and flight director is perfectly aligned before engaging and outside of that not sure what else might prevent the AP from engaging. The route is all verified and all seems normal. One other tipoff is I notice when this has happened typically the elevator becomes overly sensitive. I can pull up slightly on the yoke and it wants to bound up much more than normal. And typically a reboot/restart always resolves the issue. Thanks in advance!

With roughly equivalent amount of AI traffic FSLTL's injection is roughly 50% of the CPU impact that BATC's traffic creates.

I currently use FSLTL and don't have the Navigraph ULTIMATE subscription. It's the older FSLTL injector and not sure if you can still retrieve it or not, but I have a copy and it works great. I use it with BATC and in fact prefer FSLTL injector over BATC's herky jerky traffic injector.
