Fenix A320 – Development Update

Fenix Simulations has released a brief status update of its upcoming A320 for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Lead developer, Aamir Thacker, explained: “Following the release of Sim Update 5 [for Microsoft Flight Simulator], the aircraft survived the update relatively unscathed. Operationally, it worked immediately, with some tweaks required here and there for load balancing, performance optimisation and a few visual tweaks. This has been quite a nice demonstration of our external architecture, affording us some reliability benefits.”

From a performance perspective, Amir said the A320 is currently running better than the default A320, although he emphasised this might change due to a future update.
