as far as im concerned the airbus gpws calls are pretty realistic already...
They actually are realistic... Because yes, this an airline option for the values, but here we have the default ones

So is it fixable or not?
Are you using the TCA sidestick ? If so, then it's your sidestick who is defective. It's a known bug at Thrustmaster, but unfortunately in order to fix it you'll need to rebuy a stick.
don’t think they’re at the systems yet which I think will take up the most time.
And god knows how complex the A350 systems are... If they really want to push it up realism-wise, I'd say next summer would be a good guess.
Speaking of systems, to the IPACS team, on the OIS, will it be possible to get a take-off/landing perf calculator ? Because a moving map would not make sense, as it is on the ND in Zoom mode (you guys will probably use the A380 code for that), also I'd be really happy to see an improvement on the OANS depiction.
Dude i hate to say it but youre doing it again. Devs arent gonna listen to one user only for which registrations should be on a new plane. Like okay the airline itself is reasonable but the plate is such a tiny part of the livery, does it matter that much?
Exactly ! For example I was kind enough to provide sounds for the CFM engine ( I don't know if they will use them or not) which was filmed on OO-SSR, a Brussels Airlines A319. On the teaser, there is a Brussels Airlines A319,a but it's OO-SSV, never flown on it, but I'm still very happy to finally see a Brussels Airlines aircraft in AFS4 and finally be able to do Brussels Airlines ops.
Well that's great news ! Thanks Jan for this update.
One question for me though, will it include some of the soundset i provided to you guys ?
What do you mean by missing? Are you using the navigation menu or the (M)CDU and if so which aircraft?
I think I know the issue here... Your AIRAC is too old so it doesn't have the latest SID names, UMLAT1F is if I remember correctly the sid going up to DAVENTRY VOR 377882.pdf
I don't know how we could do that, but look at infinite flight, they managed to get a partnership with NavBlue for their flight plan solution... Maybe trying to get contacts with them or Navigraph/Jeppesen could be something to explore ?
Or there's this new provider with really affordable prices, maybe look with them ?
AviaPlanner - Lido charts & Virtual Flight Planner & Pilots Training
Sure, but AIRAC updates require a subscription service to a third party that is much more expensive than the current Aerofly FS Global app. I doubt many users would be able to afford it.

Still not found?
Yet the solution is there, at P L A Y And his last connection, apparently Friday
I asked him, but it's been a while since he played the game he doesn't remember
This is really great ! Keep it up
Exciting times !
Mm.. looks nice.. will it have that “improved performance “ ?
would love to see that stimulated if this aircraft is added in Aerofly..
Hey, let them first finish the A330-300, it's already nice from them that they take their free time to do this for everyone, this topic wasn't for requests, but for help in developing the aircraft (documentation, models, pictures...)
We've updated the Steam beta today to fix several minor issues:
2024-05-13
- changed A320/A321 strobe lights brighter and strobe and nav-lights now visible from cabin views
- fixed A320/A321 wing lights illuminate leading edge of the wing again
- fixed A320/A321 ND ILS ROSE mode shows needles in magenta again
- fixed A320/A321 MCDU takeoff pitch trim can be set
- fixed A321 overhead light texture resolution increased
- fixed A321 flap placard speeds updated
- fixed A321 door decals move with the door
- added A321 overhead N1 mode buttons for IAE engine variant
- fixed A320/A321, B737NG/MAX, B747, B777 navigation displays (ND) show the correct position of the T/C and T/D points along the route and PLAN mode show correct relative location of aircraft
- fixed ASK21 balance indicator less bright in shadow and display brightness increased slightly
- added ASK21 blue repaint now has different seat color as well
A great bug fixing update, thank you dev team for your hard work, hopefully more will follow
I'm on my way to try it out ASAP
Further testing from my side :
Currently on a flight from Malta to Frankfurt with a Lufthansa A321 IAE, with a weight of 73.5t. Here’s my feedback:
- the climb rate is much more accurate than before (managed to see a 600fpm climb rate !). It took 23min49 from ground to cruise at FL340.
- I’d like to report the fact that we can no longer modify/delete constraints on the MCDU for some reason… Hopefully we can get this fixed when possible.
this is so far what I got, I’ll continue testing and providing feedbacks.
Yes FS4, and here is for the Q400
Too long for screenshots
full list !
Air Baltic / Air Canada / Air Tanzania / Air Berlin / Alaska / ANA / Arik / Camairco / Connect / Continental / Croatia / Darwin / Ethiopian / Flybe / Horizon Celebration / Horizon Green / Hydro Quebec / Icelandair / Jal / Lan / Lot / Lufthansa / Luxair / Malev / Passion Air / Qantas / Qazaq / Royal Jordanian / SAExpress / SAS / SATA / SkyAlps / Skywork / SpiceJet / Star Peru / Ventral Fin / WestJet / Wideroe /
Camair-co really made me laugh, I wasn't expecting it, although the registration is off (should be TJ-QDD)
I don't know if i'm in the correct thread, but on this beta, now that there is the possibility of changing the flight number on the 737MAX's auxilairy page, the squawk code is locked at 2000, i tried changing it with the knobs, it does nothing. Also i'd like to point out that the Tail Number is stuck with the Alaska Tail number, which is a bit disappointing. Hopefully you devs can find a way around it.
Also I realised the bank angle selector doesn't affect the turn rate
So here are my first feedback after some flights with the A321 (trialled both engine variants) :
First flight was Malaga-Dusseldorf with the Eurowings A321 IAE, really a nice feeling, very pleasantly happy to see EPR modelled. Sounds are great, but a bit muffled imo (the IAE are true screamers). For reference if the dev team want to replicate the same flight i had a TOW of 77 tons.
Second flight was Montreal-Cancun with the Air Transat A321 CFM SL (if we could change the reg from C-GTXN to C-GEZX as GTXN is now a vietjet plane, and GEZX is its litteral sibling), with a TOW of 79.8t out of 06R, i had a CLB N1 of 100.5%, which seemed very high for a jet aircraft, but on the other hand it was giving me a climb rate of +1900fpm, which for an A321 of this load, is relatively high. The A321 has such poor climb performance due to the length of the plane yet still have the same wings as an A320.
Something i wanted to point out is the taxi on idle power. On an IAE airframe, no problem it should easily reach 20kts gnd speed without any thrust, however on the CFM, it shouldn't be able to do that, but it did. I don't know if there's a way for you to fix that, if not it's alright.
Something i found worth to be said is overall the plane is amazing, and the few bits that needs attention is more related to the modelling.
so modelling, what need to be fixed ?
The following needs a fix :
- the DOOR page on the SD need a remodel, as the plane pictured to interact with the door still represents an A320, and there's still the possibility to "open" the cargo doors, which like Jet-Pack (IPACS) said on another thread, are not modelled.
- the cabin call panel on the A321 is different than the one on the A320, mainly due to the fact that there's an additionnal cabin crew station in the middle part of the aircraft.
- On the A321ceo, the PACK FLOW knob makes way for the ECON FLOW pushbutton, although on the NEO, the PACK FLOW knob comes back.
I'll attach a picture of a real A321 overhead panel for reference, and may the changes that can be made be done.
I hope this feedback will help the dev team to improve the A321, and i'll be waiting for your answer. If you have any question, either quote me or write me a private message.
once again, thanks IPACS for making this amazing addon available to us
Man this is impressive ! great work !
