Fenix Simulation’s Aamir announced an update to the hugely popular Airbus fleet in Microsoft Flight Simulator, which takes the line of aircraft to version 2.2.0.334.
The update, which comes soon after their line of aircraft extended to the A319 and A321 models, is according to Aamir, ‘primarily a stability patch’ and is now available for all users to download. The full changelog is listed below.
You can purchase the Fenix aircraft from their website.

Art and Sound

- 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 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
