Stephen Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 News! - Updated : Airbus A320 Ultimate v1.1.9 by FlightFactor FlightFactor.Aero have released the update v1.1.9 to their A320-214. (This post replaces the v1.1.17 beta release). The v1.1.19 release is the formal release and takes the aircraft out of the beta version, but between the beta and the formal release there have been no extra changes or revisions. There was an announcement a few weeks ago that FlightFactor were doing some optimisation on the aircraft's Flight Management System to recover the severe lost framerate when Vulkan was introduced to X-Plane11.50, it was around 7fr to 10fr, which made the aircraft a little framerate heavy and a bit draggy in moving around in the viewpoints (i.e. the cockpit). A flight over the weekend (YBBN-YBCS) resulted in quite an improvement in framerate and smoothness... The v1.1.9 changelog is small... Changelog 1.1.9 Improvements: * some performance optimization * panel hotkeys now are optional in EFB Fixes: * fixed axis curves input * SpeedBrake binded key fix * arming SpeedBrake in VR * fixed crash after clicking HOLD button on point just before PPOS * get rid of artifacts when using RainEffect on OpenGL A post also noted from Flightfactor that more improvements to the A320U are also coming to the MCDU and ND systems and the "Fix Info" systems, but no details were noted. In other FlightFactor news, the developer asked on the X-Plane.Org Forums, of what the users wanted in future features on the A230U, Obviously the NEO Engine option, and CEO of the IAE powerplant are the top of any list... personally I just want the cabin finished? To update then currently use the X-Updater.jar (in your A320U Aircraft folder) and switch off the beta tickbox to get the new v1.1.19 version download. The FightFactor A320-214 Ultimate is also now available from the X-Plane.OrgStore ______________________________________________________________________ Yes! the Airbus A320-214 Ultimate by FlightFactor Aero is NOW available from the X-Plane.Org Store here : Airbus A320-214 Ultimate Price is US$$89.95 Custom Flight model Flight developed by professional to mimic the real aircraft Precise aerodynamic model with unique features like transonic effects, hi speed stall etc Specific engine model with realistic performance and dynamics More than 10,000 simulated objects like computers, sensors, units, data buses, busbars, relays, etc. with its own logic and behavior Simulation of data exchange in ARINC data protocol between aircraft computers with precision loss and delays High-Definition Model Hi-quality and realistic interior and exterior visual model Hi-quality and realistic sound pack with hundreds of sounds from the real aircraft Hi-quality display graphics (4K panel) Unique rain effects Fast access popup panel system Precise aerodynamical model with unique features like transonic effects, hi speed stall etc Specific engine model with realistic performance and dynamics More than 10,000 simulated objects like computers, sensors, units, data buses, busbars, relays, etc. with its own logic and behavior Simulation of data exchange in ARINC data protocol between aircraft computers with precision loss and delays.
