NEWS! - Aircraft Update : Airbus A321 XP12 v1.6.1 by Toliss

 

 

Toliss has done an update to the Airbus A321-231 to version 1.6.1. This update is currently available via the Skunkcrafts updater.

 

This v1.6.1 update for the A321 can be seen as a mirror release to the just earlier updated Airbus A319 to version v1.9.1.

 

Changes are almost identical to the A319 v1.9.1, with just a few variations for the longer aircraft. These areas are fully the functional circuit breakers, now as high as 211 active C/Bs, as is with the introduction of more failures for the yaw damper, rudder travel limiter, rudder trim, hydraulic system overheat. There are more FADEC individual channels, and the FADEC now needs 2-3 seconds to power up to be more authentic. ATIS requests via the Hoppie network can now also query the PilotEdge network, New failure modes include FADEC faults, and ECAM messages now represents the newer FWC standard. and the popout windows remain visible in the external view. Overall there are 24 fixes and bug related changes as well, only 1 less than the A319, and significantly the number of blades in the PW1100G engine (20) is now correct.

 

New features:
- Added new C/Bs brining the total number of functional C/Bs to 211
- New faults: Yaw Damper, Rudder Travel Limiter, Rudder Trim
- New faults: Hydraulic system overheat
- FADEC needs 2-3 seconds to power up
- Popout windows now remain visible in external view
- ATIS requests via the Hoppie network can now also query the PilotEdge network
- New failure modes: FADEC faults
- Reordered ECAM messages to represent newer FWC standard
- ACP knobs are now moving up and down
- Added Ignition failures to ECAM. (Use C/Bs to disable ignition)
- Added the option to enable BUSS switches for the A321NEO

Bug fixes:
- Elimiated penetrating pieces when deflecting the flaps to full on the A321NEO.
- Corrected the arrangment of the Taxi and TO lights in the nose landing gear.
- Changed FMA indication to maximum of CAT 2 when A/THR is not engaged.
- Brought TRx INOP status message back on SD Status page.
- Fixed HYD Page PTU color when conditions for PTU to operate are not met.
- Round metric FCU altitude on PFD to 10m
- Improved FAC FAULT ECAM actions
- Added 3s timeout when pressing the status page with status "NORMAL".
- Use FMGS weights for VLS if initialized.
- Reworked behaviour of the FAC cutout switches
- MCDU APPR speed predictions take current weight, when approach phase active.
- PTU should not be able to power circuits without fluid anymore
- with dual RA fault, LG not down warning should trigger with flaps 3 or 4
- improved go around engagement logic, to all GA engagement also in climb phase.
- Improved ISCS open/closing in VR
- Removed armed NAV mode when performing a TO without FDs.
- Prevent overwriting of cruise waypoint wind data when reaching TOC or initiating S/Cs.
- Improved contour matching for artifical cockpit window reflections
- Fixed managed speed profile in Go Around after acceleration altitude
- Fixed the ON light in the ENG 2 N1 mode switch for the IAE engine
- Simbrief wind upload should work again. (Note that it extracts the data from the wind data field, not from the flight plan itself.)
- Fixed number of blades in the PW1100G engine.
- Improved bleed pressure at cruise
- Improved altitude alert logic (C chord and flashing frame)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Airbus A321 is a member of the Airbus A320 family of short to medium range, narrow-body, commercial passenger twin engine jet airliners; it carries 185 to 236 passengers. It has a stretched fuselage which was the first derivative of the baseline A320 and entered service in 1994, about six years after the original A320. The aircraft shares a common type rating with all other Airbus A320-family variants, allowing previous A320-family pilots to fly the aircraft without the need for further training.

 

The update v1.6.1 is currently available via the Skunkcrafts updater, or in going to your X-Plane.OrgStore account.
