Interestingly, I had the Fenix app running already when I first launched MSFS and loaded the A320 for the first time...but I had the initial issue with the EFB as I posted above. Only after a reboot of MSFS did the EFB work properly. Since then, I don't have to launch the Fenix app at all; it is automatically launched when I load the A320, and all's well with the aircraft and its EFB.

Try exiting MSFS and reloading sim then aircraft. That worked for me.

I'll take you up on your generous offer. I've got an i7 8700K with 6 physical cores/12 logical processors and HT is on. I typically use complex airliners in P3D along with ASP3D. What cfg edit would be most advantageous for this system? Thanks!

Check out pages 100-101 in the VRS Superbug manual. There’s info there helpful in fuel planning and endurance. Not sure there’s any flight planning profiles available.

In my case, I discovered that my FSX.cfg file had Autotrim=True under the REALISM section. I'm not sure how that became enabled, but once I changed it to False, all was well.

Wow, that's a bit harsh. I love my PMDG NGX and 777 just as much as anyone here, but there are other developers producing some beautifully textured aircraft. I'd second Tony's endorsement of IXEG's 737, and for P3D, I think the FSL A320 and the Majestic Dash 8 Q400 are equal to any PMDG plane in appearance....but I'm biased in the case of one of those.

Rob, I was stumped by this, but I've stumbled onto something that works for me: make sure That X-Plane is in windowed mode and that the X-Plane window is maximized. If it's not, I experience just what you are. Hope this helps.

I updated my Steam version of X-Plane 10 this morning and ran it. The version shows as 10.50 and the Steam build number shows (in the Steam overlay) as 1305124

That's the latest - 10.50

Thanks very much...perfect timing for this recent convert.

vgbaron is right - see here towards bottom of page: http://www.toposim.net/distrib/notams/

Nor is that necessary to enjoy this aircraft. I'm running FSX-SE on a mid-level machine (i5-2500K at 4.4, 980GTX) and am able to enjoy a smooth experience with autogen at sparse, scenery complexity at mid-point, and light settings for commercial AI. This is with ORBX Global and Vector, AS16/ASCA, and payware airports. I found Matt Davies' settings video for this aircraft quite useful but dialed back some of his recommended settings.

I've found this downloadable (for a price) reference quite useful as I've learned the A320: http://www.utem.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=18
