Hi there, Our A32NX now has a custom-built performance calculator tailored specifically to the A320neo. Available now on the Development version! Our calculator lets the pilots: Determine if the airplane can take off at the intended takeoff weight from a designated runway at a specified temperature, wind, and QNH setting using a specified airplane configuration and bleed settings (A/I and A/C); Determine the Flex temperature if a reduced thrust setting (Flex) can be used; Determine the appropriate takeoff speeds, V1, VR, and V2, for the conditions specified. Please note: We will be disabling the VSpeeds auto input LSK on the MCDU shortly on the Development version. We also intend to add takeoff performance uplink capability to the FMS in the future. See our documentation: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/flypad-performance/ Happy Flying! -

Hi there, We made some changes to the A32NX Development Version for better integration with GSX Pro. when the ramp agent inserts the bypass pin, nose wheel steering is disabled and the associated message is shown in the upper ECAM GSX chocks and cones are no longer used. You can now use the A32NX own chocks and cones and leave the parking brake off, when at the gate. To do so, you have to activate the chocks and cones in the EFB settings again (Settings > Sim Options). Remember to set the parking brake before the tug will be connected though. and finally we changed the refueling process with GSX so that the aircraft gets fueled as soon as the service personnel connects the hose (no need to activate the fueling on the flypad anymore) Happy flying.

Hi there, The whole team at FlyByWire Simulations wishes you some relaxing days after this exciting year and all the best for 2024. As sort of a last surprise, we did something with the A32NX in the latest Development Version, but we won't tell you what it is - you'll find out that some glaring issues were fixed when entering the flight deck. Enjoy and happy flying!

FlyByWire Simulations | A32NX | Hydraulics
Watsi posted a topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Hi there, We have a couple of hydraulic updates for you today. Coming soon to experimental! Hydraulic fluid dynamics In this first video, you can see how plane acceleration will impact fluid displacement in hydraulic reservoirs, making it oscillate and respond to plane movements. This will impact readings from the gauge sensor, which is placed on the side of the reservoir. https://streamable.com/zg0th0 Negative G's While the A320 is certified to accept some negative G peaks, this will still impact the gauge sensor, showing abnormal levels. If you fly it like you stole it (remain in negative G conditions for too long), you won't be rewarded. https://streamable.com/77t06g Happy flying. -
Hey there, Check out this short technical progress video on why hydraulics "sucks" (real time simulation of hydraulic control loop and aerodynamic forces). We also hope you like our new animated intro courtesy of our media team! -
Hi there, We previewed some high-quality ground equipment a few months ago, namely, cones and chocks. Unfortunately, a delay in shipping meant that the ground service equipment ended up scattered around the world... teams of our dedicated developers have managed to track every missing container, and today, have delivered those cones and chocks to the A32NX Development version right in your installer!

Hi there, Sim Update 9 (SU9) has been released. Our Development and Experimental builds are already working perfectly with the new version, so there is no need to update. Stable users may experience some problems, and a v0.7.5 will soon be released. In the meantime, you can switch to Development. Happy flying.

Hi there, A lot of work was recently done to make that beast of a plane as much alive as it can be visually, so you can really feel you have the real plane in front of you. While we developed a completely new wing flex system, we also added some more details that we hope you’ll like! In this first clip, you can see we added a surface vibration model that will shake plane elements when you cross a tarmac patch or….. overrun the runway. The massive stabiliser (almost the wing span of an A320…) will react to those vibrations, but furthermore it will bend from aerodynamic forces of the elevator surfaces. The whole aft cone structure of the plane will also have a torsional stress from the rudder aerodynamic forces. And of course, the new wing flex system is reacting to fuel mass. If you look really close, you could probably guess where is the fuel only by looking at the wing shape. This will eventually be noticeable as on the real airplane, where the fuel management system transfers fuel on the inner part, or to the exterior part of the wing depending on the flight phase.
