NEWS! - Aircraft Update : ToliSS updated Airbus A319 to v1.9 or A320NEO Standard

 

 

With the new release of the ToLiSS A320-271N NEO earlier this year, introduced were a lot of new features, including a new style interface ISCS, newer textures, pilot models and more cockpit animations including cockpit windows, sunshades, tray tables, ACARS Print function, a full ground services suite, and even including the fabulous animated deicing, there was also a comprehensive redo of the sound suite for all engine types.

 

So here those features have been now also introduced (modernised?) into the earlier Airbus A319-112

 

Notable is that there are now three engine types available on the A319... CFM56-5B6, the IAE 2524-A5 and the up-rated CFM56-5B7 which provides more thrust for operations in mountainous terrain.

 

This is noted as an update. So it is free for everyone who already has upgraded to the XP11/12 version. (I e. Everybody who has V1.7 or newer of the A319), To upgrade from X-Plane 11 there is a upgrade fee of US$10, which is extremely reasonable on your X-Plane.OrgStore account.

 

Update list is also comprehensive

Version 1.9 (July 10th 2023)

 

Major new features:

- New cockpit textures

- Pilot models in external view

- Animated cockpit windows, sunshades, tray tables etc.

- ACARS Print function

- Full ground services suite, including animated deicing

- Rework of the sound suite for all engine types

Minor new features:

- ISCS redesign including a scalable ISCS.

- Retuned VLS and approach pitch

- Retuned the pitch moment balance with extended flaps

- Addition of 24 new C/Bs bringing the total to 161 functional C/Bs

- Addition of Radio Altimeter failure model

- Improved aircraft startup sequence simulating also MCDU, FWC and FMGS startup times

- Oil temperature indication on ECAM now changes according to logic specific for the given engine type

- Increase landing gear tire resolution for a rounder experience

- Added console lights (XP12 only)

- Increase number of possible simultaneous faults to 20

- Added PRED WS OFF memo

- Automatic reversion to arrival or departure ATIS request if regular ATIS is not available (via Hoppie network)

- Added DDRMI failure flags in case of loss of power or invalid needle angles

Bug fixes:

- Added autopilot disconnection on manual trim.

- Reduced minimum valid preselected speed to allow speeds below 160kts.

- Improved mouse wheel pitch trim speed

- Fixed a bug with the descent profile following if below transition level and QNH in MCDU and QNH on FCU don't match

- Some improvements to the smartcopilot.cfg file

- Fixed a bug that caused the GS Mini not to be considered with pilot selected VAPP.

- Fixed jitter of the L/DEV and V/DEV scales that can occur under certain conditions when performing a GA during a non-precisiong approach

- Inhibit of EGT OVERLIMIT warning following an engine shutdown due to fire

- Brought the REV SET ECAM Caution back

- Fixed mouse wheel function on WX Radar System switches

- Fixed FBW behaviour in case of loss of both FAC (no reversion to direct on L/G extension)

- Fixed FBW upmode logic to allow automatic upmode to normal law if conditions triggering a degenerated law are gone.

- Fixed link between APU start capability and battery availability

- Improved VLS computation in dual hydraulic cases with slats frozen in the retracted position.

- Improved rudder authority for VMGC and Beta target

- Fixed a crash in PDC/CPDLC messages if there are space characters in the wrong spot.

- Fixed a bug with fuel consumption during 200NM jumps

 

The last update for the A319 was Version 1.8 (January 6th 2023), that was the transition version to X-Plane 12, although a basic "can fly in" X-Plane 12 was done on X-Plane 12's beta release in September 2022.

 

The Airbus A319 by Toliss is a 120-140 seat single-aisle mid-range modern state-of-the-art FBW aircraft with a high focus on detailed system modelling.

 

This is an Officially licensed Airbus product 

• Introduction of the Interactive Audio Control Panel to manage ground services, doors, passengers, loading etc.
• Introduction of custom EFB (currently for detailed weight analysis for the flight.)
• ACARS functionality: SimBrief flight plan import directly into the FMGS, TO Performance computations and wind upload (from SimBrief plan.)
• New fully custom engine model for a highly accurate engine performance and new engine specific failure modes
• Third engine option: CFM56-5B7 which provides more thrust for operations in mountainous terrain.
• Implementation of over 120 circuit breakers to cut power to certain systems.
• Added “resettable failures” to the failure system as well as new failure modes, with now a total of more than 210 failure modes you can simulate.
• Addition of the offset function in the FMGS
• More than 70 new ECAM messages covering new computer faults such as dual FWC or dual SDAC faults, anti ice system faults, new engine faults etc.
