A few days ago, FSLabs released a statement with details of a brand new update for their A320-X aircraft. As of just a few hours ago, that update was made available to the public to download via their download section. The free update has made the aircraft now compatible with the recently released Prepar3D version 4.3, and includes a bunch of new updates and fixes to improve the user experience.
Various enhancements can be found in the external model with some of the animation logic fixed, a few areas of the sound engine have been tweaked as well as a few bugs in the FMGS.
Further to the A320-X being updated, Spotlights from FSLabs (which is now completely free of charge), has been updated to version v2.0.0.9.
Just as a final note of interest, the A319-X is being “wrapped up” as this update also contains a great deal of infrastructure which is required for the small-sized Airbus. It should be out soon, according to the forum post.
It’s worth noting that whilst this update does enable compatibility with P3D V4.3, the new version will also work with those still using P3D V4.2. However, those still on 4.1 will need to update their version of Prepar3D to use this update. The 32-bit version update will be out soon after the A319-X has been released.
