Aamir Thacker, CEO of Fenix Simulations, has posted in the company’s Discord server with a changelog of the 2.2.0.403 update, which was rolled out to the A32X aircraft family product line earlier today.
The update is available through the Fenix installer for paying customers, and according to Aamir contains several CPU optimisations as well as GPS fix improvements.
A full changelog can be found below:
Avionics and Systems
- Optimised internal scheduling of display rendering
- Added cargo distribution to loadsheet
- Added AOC FREE TEXT
- Added AOC ATIS request via VATSIM and IVAO
- Added new source of GPS ephemeris data – updated NAVSTAR tracking algorithm with more current data, fully prepared for full GNSS constellation (Galileo/Beidou/etc) when the real A320 is able
- Improved internal W&B code to better support sharklets and ACTs
- Improved conditions for auto-tuning ILS
- Fixed approach transition altitude not being based on the entered QNH
- Fixed values like 0.11 being rounded in the RNP field
- Fixed STAR not being reloaded or cleared after changing runway
- Fixed aircraft freezing during rare circumstances when using the ACARS printer
- Fixed S speed being impossibly low at around 45 T gross weight
- Fixed SayIntentions ACARS not connecting if a Hoppie code wasn’t entered
- Fixed CLOSEST AIRPORTS not showing an EFOB
- Fixed “HUNDRED ABOVE” and “MINIMUMS” playing when an MDA/BARO was entered on the ground
- Fixed ACARS client not correctly respecting “invalid login code” responses
- Fixed ALPHA FLOOR engaging on approach when below 100 ft RA
- Fixed SPD LIM not showing with a dual SFCC failure
- Fixed certain speeds showing when they shouldn’t with a dual SFCC failure
- Fixed cross-track error not showing on the ground
- Fixed ECP ALL button logic (it shouldn’t “remember” the last selected page)
- Fixed formatting issues of the ATC unit on DCDU
- Fixed FUEL X FEED OPEN light appearing when the valve isn’t fully open
- Fixed tailstrike protection chevron not being amber
- Fixed physical BARO MODE switch becoming out of sync when linked
- Fixed COM3 playing at 100% volume
- Fixed HF2 transmit indicator lighting up when HF1 was active
- Removed MAX FLT TIME limitation on yellow hydraulic low level (HYD RSVR ISOL VALVE INS)
Art and Sound
- Fixed A319 & A321 safety card showing A320
- Fixed flap rods in A319 and A320
- Fixed overhead bin missing polys on high-density cabin
- Fixed odd-coloured paint on the wing of the A319
- Fixed ATC model not being said correctly in-game (incorrect localisation key)
EFB
- Improved cargo distribution to target an optimal CG
- Improved takeoff performance based on airport elevation
- Fixed EFB being blank on start-up if the previous session was quit with the EFB “sleeping”
Additionally, there is a section within the changelog detailing improvements that have been made as part of a wider rework of the FADEC system, meaning users should no longer see discrepancies between what the FADEC assigns as a thrust rating prior to take-off and the rating that was actually observed during the roll. The rework has also given the team scope to accurately model the way that the FADEC on the real aircraft(s) continually re-assesses and adjusts the EPR/N1 during the takeoff roll. This is implemented across the product range, although Aamir says the team continues to make tweaks to the IAE variants.
