Highly renowned XPL aircraft developer ToLiss has quietly updated their Airbus A321 Series product for Xplane, bringing the highly regarded addon now up to Version 1.2.1.
While mainly concerned with the addressing and fixing of bugs, the update is also set to provide users with a couple of new features introduced to the developers’ A321 product line. Among said new features are the addition of both an AP TCAS and AP soft go-around mode for the recently released A321 Neo expansion pack, the addition of A321 Neo specific cockpit changes, and the addition of minimum and 100 above callouts for BARO/MDA minima.
The update also improves the PW engine dual cooling mode, a feature peculiar to the A321 Neo PW engine configuration, the deflection of the nosewheel while using Better Pushback, and the LEAP engine dry cranking sequence. Additionally, numerous 3D model fixes to the airframe have been pushed out through this update as well.
As always, the exhaustive changelog can be found either at the bottom of this piece or at the ToLiss A321 Xplane store product page linked here.
