This is something that I really love doing with a friend. I've been using YourControls to fly with a friend using the FBW A320 and it has been a blast. Does anyone know if there will be any shared cockpit features coming to either plane from YourControls or if not, directly from the devs themselves to implement it? To me, this is a much have feature to have, since it's more realistic to fly with 2 pilots instead of one.

I was wondering if its possible to fully fly and enjoy this plane with either just an xbox controller and/or a logitech 3d extreme 3d pro? My concerns is how easy would it be to activate the reversers on touchdown and move the throttle levers?

Hi folks. I thought I would let you know of this site as I found it very helpful several years back. Many of you may know of it, but if you are new to Airbus it has a lot of info on it. airbusdriver.net Specifically I found this PDF very useful, written by a real pilot and just contains highlights of what he has learned over the years. Eric Parks A320 notes Hope this helps, enjoy. Personally I am right on the edge of getting the plane but the FPS hit worries me. I got really stung with the FlightFactor in Xplane and am pretty gun shy now. But they appear to continue to be optimizing so we'll see. Thanks

I'm using AIG Traffic and it works very well. However, I don't know how to turn on traffic labels so that I can see what flights are around me. I have Traffic Labels on in the settings, but since Live Traffic is off and the traffic is injected by AIG Traffic Manager, I don't think MSFS will turn on labels that way. Is there a third-party tool or some other way to turn on labels?

Just flew over Naples Italy and it looked bombed. Is there too much photogrametry there now? I rebooted MSFS and it was still the same. Building parts floating in the air. It looked great before the Italy update.

Hello, Does anyone know of a beginner level tutorial that details the exact steps of the order in how add-ons and plugins, scripts need to be done in MSFS. Right now this is extremely difficult, because each author typically only deals with their piece of the puzzle. I'm looking for a complete 'HitchHikers Guide' that will simply describe each step, what needs to be done(assume nothing), before moving on to the next piece/file/action of software or configuration (typical) to get the desired results.... MSFS2020 > Adding a Stream Deck > Installing SD Plugins (AAO specifically) > Adding SD Profiles > Importing XML scripts, etc. I've managed to a…

I've tried a couple of autolands to ILS08R EGKK in the Fenix A320. A couple of questions: - With managed speed, the speed comes down to green dot and I put in flaps one - but then the speed doesn't come down to S speed. This chart https://www.smartcockpit.com/docs/Airbus_A320-ILS_Approach_Landing.pdf and a couple of other things I've read suggests to me it should. - After landing, I see Rollout displayed and both APs are on, but the aircraft doesn't seem to hold the centre line - it veers a little bit left. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Hi I watched a youtube on here about setting up the tiller and rudder in MSFS when setup you can use the rudder pedals as the tiller by pressing the button on the tiller but the rudder pedals in the Fenix don't move when you want to get control of the rudder you press the button on the tiller, I've not been able to find it again

I'm curious to whether or not this is true. Would hate to not be able to load up due to internet being down. Does anyone know what happens if you load up the plane without an internet connection? I really hope it doesn't require a constantly active internet connection to run.

Can anyone recommend sensitivity settings and null zones for the stick and rudder or the fenix? It feels a little too sensitive out of the box with msfs default. Any good starting suggestions?

Mods need to clean this up, it’s ridiculous. Do we have a thread yet about jumpseat cushion textures in the Fenix? How about Fenix windscreen bug contamination? Perhaps one about the length of the switches being 2 cm too long? It’s a bit ridiculous.

If you are having issued with TCA throttle quadrant then watch the excellent tutorial by 320simpilot here. This will help you with getting throttles and flaps levers working and also with set up of detents.

On a flight through Canada to PAJN I experimented with changing tile severs and LOD and ending up using the ArcGIS tile sever (Google Tile Server Mod). Then I figured out that the FPS difference between LOD 200 and 100 was 1 FPS because FPS is related to generating screens while LOD is related to loading data. Not the same thing at all. So the assumption is that if your FPS is bad at a high LOD then maybe you need better connection bandwidth. sp

Hi, I was not around during 2021, only got on board MSFS a few mths ago, and maybe there's topics on this but I can't find one. Is there an addon (free or pay) that improves the quality of the ocean/waves etc in the mid altitudes? Currently it looks like flat mirror with a very faint pattern. Down low at ground level it looks great. It may be a known issue that is on the wish list, not sure, but from what I can see none of the third party weather addons seems to have replacement water textures like REX used to back in FSX days.

Flying at night in FS2020 is, well, weird. It seems every major road is lit up at night whether you're flying over a city or in remote rural areas in place where I don't even think they have electricity, lol. This is incredibly unrealistic. Another thing we have to live with I suppose?

I mean....maybe a Fenix sub thread/forum or something, hehe. I get the distinct feeling that this Fenix thingy is a rather popular topic...anyone getting that feeling? But what about other non-Fenix, MSFS topics? They roll off the front page in about a minute, hehe. Waiting to see who this will trigger into replying harshly about my apparent hatred about Fenix, which as a hour-one customer and huge fan, I find rather odd and more a reflection on the poster making the comment than my honest attempt to organize this completely jumbled mess of an MSFS forum into something we can all read and enjoy more betterer. 🙂 Lol...missed one with the green arrows...but I …
