Toliss has started the round of update of the Airbus series starting with eh A320neo. https://forums.x-plane.org/forums/topic/348030-toliss-a320-updated-to-v131/ "Hi everyone! the wait is over - we are starting our next round of updates with the A320neo and ceo. This is one of the biggest updates we have done for the A320 since its initial release. The update considers feedback from the community, from our professional customers and incorporates a lot of the new features that we developped throughout our MSFS adventure. Here are the highlights of this update: - Completely reworked EFB with a unified interface - Integrated Navigraph maps and charts (with fallback to OpenStreetMap if you don't have a Navigraph subscription) - Simbrief OFP integration in the EFB - Higher display resolutions for improved clarity and realism - New inflight option to skip directly to any cruise waypoint - Support for SayIntentions CPDLC - Support of IVAO ATIS requests through the Hoppie network - Improved FLEX computations for greater accuracy In addition, V1.3.1 includes a large number of improvements and bug fixes to ensure an overall smooth user experience. You can get the update via Skunkcrafts and it will be available for direct download from the stores shortly!

No one from LR has mention of an XP13. I far as we seen through the roadmaps that includes scenery improvements are happening during the XP 12 run.

I do my best to support the developers as much as I can. But I also find it important to join their discord as well. It is the best place where you can make your voice heard on the things you may want. The feature request I think is very value in letting them know through voting for the feature that were requested as well as letting them know the platform/OS you are interest in seeing support.

Here is an update with more details in the new VR coming in XP 12.4.3 https://www.x-plane.com/2026/04/x-plane-12-4-3-early-preview-lets-talk-vr/

That would be interesting indeed. I wouldn't mind seeing some of my old aircraft in Dos like to F-19 and F 117. Didn't have the horsepower to run those back then. 🤣 But what I am most thrill about the re writing of VR which didn't get as much attention since come to XP12 and would like to see how they are able to improve performances. I like the idea that they bringing it to the Apple Vision Pro, gives me idea's about where I might like to go in the future. 😁

Possible other priorities may had gotten in the way. Remember, they roll out feature not in the order in which they are ready. Plus at the time 12.1 was not multithreading, things for flight modeling may have change since then and we might get to see those change through the upcoming road map. Well will have to see. 😊

Gust winds is not a singular function of just weather, Austin corrects gust winds by making adjustment to the flight model in X-plane use of first principle physics as well. He always trying to improve things in the flight model even if you think he is done. He is always discovering something else which what makes these update so interesting and something to look forward to.

😆 Well it's about time that somebody wants to take the time to properly demonstrate the use of these great tools that we all want the developers to continue support for X-plane.

The tutorial covers a lot of things that I was not aware of nor seen in this aircraft. What's nice is they are planning an expert tutorial for those who want have a deeper understanding of specific feature of the aircraft. It also mention a SELCAL feature coming later with a tutorial on that procedure. Looking forward.

I was enjoyable to watch. It was very objective and to the point. Nothing to the distract from the mission. All points were covered nicely.

Its worth it, the developer put a lot of work into it. He also has a lot of helipads as well. It very nice.

Like other mention of the Hawaiian Scenery I also have the Seychelles and the Society Islands I think worth mentioning. One freeware I like to recommend is the EPGD Lech Walesa Airport. The developer put his heart a soul in the at one.

If you are looking for an alternative GHD, there is a freeware solution that has been out for some time called SEGS that has other addon the work together with Simload manager. https://forums.x-plane.org/files/file/62296-simple-ground-equipment-services-low-tech-services/?page=45&tab=comments#comment-412128 https://forums.x-plane.org/files/file/93858-simload-manager-realistic-pax-cargo-fuel-ground-operations/?tab=reviews&sort=newest#review-135692 However there is a new payware solution that replaces GHD and has the potential of being the next GSX of X plane called Realops. This is a brand new addon to X-plane that has a growing following with new liveries and presets being made since its release back in February. It will do all of what GHD does and eventually SAM's for controlling gates. Use the link below for more info and use the links within that site that will take you to their discord. There you will find the latest info on any bug fix's, liveries and presets. https://realops-simulations.com/#Features
