Auto Ortho alternative
I've been using Map Enhancement for a few months now, I like it very much. I'm more than satisfied with the free medium quality Google imagery: once you're a few thousand feet in the air it doesn't really matter (or well... it doesn't to me). Flying airliners high up in the sky I prefer how X-Plane with Map Enhancement looks over MSFS. VFR is another story, but still, I find X-Plane with this satellite imagery more than adequate for the purpose. Note that you should read the instructions thoroughly when installing. It's not plug-and-play.

FSLabs A321 climb performance
Wing ice was the culprit! My climb performance was plummeting again, I then enabled wing anti-ice and it jumped up. Now I have no issue reaching FL350, though as expected, the A321 ceo is not a neo 🙂 But it's fine now. Thanks for the input everyone. Appreciated.

FSLabs A321 climb performance
I am kind of proficient flying an Airbus though, and the ECAM would tell me if I forgot flaps, speed brakes, gear, etc... I remember the Fenix A320 had an issue at release that the pushback cart could still be hanging on the gear, MSFS-internally, not visually, leading to obvious issues. I'll skip pushback next time and see if that changes anything.

FSLabs A321 climb performance
Hi, This may be more related to the A321 CEO in general, and not the FSL, but that's the one I bought so... I have done 2 flights now and I've noticed that the plane has issues getting above FL230 on both occasions (Simbrief planned for FL350, as if that was ever going to happen...). I couldn't even make the minimum altitude of FL200 on the MEDA1A SID departing from LSGG RWY22. I have never before missed a minimum with a jet, at any weight! My TOW was 74600 kg (out of a MTOW of 93500 kg). Does this bird even get off the ground at MTOW? 🙂 Anyway, is this normal? Is this a flying sitting duck? 🙂 Or am I missing something entirely? Coming from the Toliss A321 neo in X-Plane I'm somewhat dumbfounded. Thanks.
