FlightFactor continues to deliver on the promise of updating their A320 on X-Plane 11. The new beta release is “pre-release” and over the course of the coming weeks, more refinement will happen with the update. The latest version from FlightFactor on their FF320 is version 1.2.1, which is a minor update over the bigger 1.2.0 that was released late in September.
If you did miss the update, version 1.2.1 now includes improvements to the HOLD function, along with increase the waypoint number to 40. Furthermore, the ALTERNATE PAGES have been completed, along with improvements to the INIT B page. Along with improvements, a number of fixes were also implemented for the plane. You can see the full list below.
It is worth noting there are a few known issues with the updates, such as the fact this update is not compatible with saved user states from previous versions. You can read a bit more on Facebook.
