Kurz und ohne viel Kommentare hat Fenix gestern Nachmittag ein Update für die Airbus-Reihe veröffentlicht. Dabei wurden neben der Avionik und den Systemen auch visuelle und hörbare Eigenschaften des Add-ons angepasst. Und der A321 hat beim Flugverhalten nochmal Anpassungen erhalten.

Das Update wird wie immer über den Fenix Installer installiert und betrifft alle drei Airbusse. Fenix hatte die A321- und A319-Erweiterung vor circa zwei Wochen veröffentlicht. Version 2.2.0.334 stellt damit die neuste Version seit Release dar.

Hier das Changelog im Copy&Paste:

Avionics & Systems

• Added missing phase 10 ECAM inhibits
• Adjusted A321 blending law PID controller to fix oscillations in certain conditions
• Adjusted cargo distribution behaviour based on the corrected passenger loading logic
• Adjusted step alt logic when cruise alt above or equal step alt
• Fixed bulk cargo door being openable and showing on MCDU DOORS page if not installed (e.g. A319)
• Fixed cockpit door being open when cabin visibility is turned off
• Fixed empty aircraft weight discrepancies across various systems – SimBrief generated plans will now be accurate
• Fixed connection status not working in ATSU
• Fixed passengers not being correctly loaded per zone
• Fixed potential crash in VNAV code
• Fixed inaccuracies in weight distribution when loading passengers per zone
• Fixed passengers showing already on board when first loading into the sim
• Fixed broken VERT REV page + associated yellow star logic for alt.
• Fixed clock CHR and ET not respecting pause or higher simulation rate
• Fixed TPIS option not working if the user has saved settings in the EFB
• Fixed Y HYD steering not being disabled on A321
• Improved FBW tuning values
• Removed door 2L as a passenger exit for GSX

Art and Sound

• Optimised CFM engine node count
• Reverted cabin hierarchy changes that broke some custom cabins, but fixed the issue in code
• Fixed text artifact on EMER ELEC PWR panel
• Fixed light effect squares in incorrect locations
• Fixed emissive bleed on aircraft belly
• Fixed CFM rivet material
• Fixed cabin door visibility when cabin hidden
• Fixed missing glass from A321 L2/L3 door windows
• Fixed RETARD RETARD RETARD RETARD RETARD RETARD RETARD RETARD (well we think we did but it’s Dave’s job so quite frankly he could’ve accidentally invented an entirely new callout)
• Fixed A321 tyre not having correct values
• Fixed drain mast

EFB

• Fixed take-off weights being incorrect in loadsheets when using LBS in SimBrief
• Fixed CG calculations sometimes being incorrect across all aircraft types
• Fixed potential race condition between passengers being loaded and loadsheets being sent, which would rarely cause preliminary loadsheet weights to be incorrect
• Fixed A321 seatmap not blocking out seats 11A, 11F, 25A & 25F
• Fixed incorrect CG when boarding with GSX
• Fixed cargo not loading when using real-time mode in A319
• Fixed one passenger sometimes not leaving the aircraft for a long time – reworked sync with GSX
• Fixed not being able to board or reset passengers sometimes
• Fixed number of cabin crew per aircraft type on loadsheets
• Fixed seat map not showing correctly in Firefox
• Fixed planned ZFW and GW not being shown after SimBrief import
• Fixed ENG MODE SEL typo in approach checklist
• Fixed row 13 existing in A319 seat map
• Fixed DLH, BAW, RYW, EIN, UAE SimBrief OFP not showing
• Adjusted preliminary loadsheet behaviour back to the previous logic of being sent upon importing a SimBrief flightplan and when making amendments to planned weights, so that you can verify and amend your weights before starting the boarding process
• Attempted fix to prevent aircraft image being too big on first load of ground services page

FM

• Adjusted A321 trim efficiency
• Adjusted A321 pitch moments
• Gently adjusted A321 elevator

Livery Manager

• Fixed layout.json not being regenerated after install in some cases

Installer

• Fixed simulators not being found if APPDATA or LOCALAPPDATA environment variables were changed
