Bursting onto the Microsoft Flight Simulator scene with the highly regarded Fenix A320ceo, the work that Fenix Simulations is doing with their Airbus A320 project always captures attention. Today is no different as the team provides an update on the roll out of version two of their popular airliner project and announces future release of A319 and A321 companion projects.

V2 rolling out in blocks

Fenix Simulations plans to roll out updates to their Airbus A320ceo project in a pair of blocks that will bring new features and bug fixes alike. In Block 1 they have announced plans to release updated code and code optimizations, revamped display technology for more accuracy and performance, and new VNAV programming. These updates will come alongside other bug fixes and a full change log is anticipated for launch.

Block 2 gets even more interesting as it brings with it a new visual model which Fenix report has even higher fidelity than the first one. This will also come with the new IAE engine and external model, more avionics fixes, an updated EFB, and any additional fixes or improvements to content released in Block 1.

Block 1 is expected to launch “soon” with Block 2 expected by sometime in September.

Fenix appear to have done extensive rebuilding with what is already regarded as an excellent product but this will no doubt put things that much further ahead while addressing some of the issues that the team have had to confront.

A319 and A321 on the way, Sharklets

Fenix Simulations are also planning to release an expansion package to the A320 that will bundle together the A319 and A321. The expansion package is expected to be £39.99 according to the announcement and it doesn’t sound like Fenix, at least at this point, intend to offer them separately.

Fenix have also planned to release a version of the A320ceo with Sharklet winglets. These are the tall winglets that are standard on the A320neo variant and have been added to some of the older A320ceo versions as well. Fenix have promised that as a free update to the A320 and now to the other models as well with a release expected in early 2024.
