- čas přidán 9. 08. 2023
- It's fair to say we have been waiting for this update since November 2022 and finally, now here it is! The performance of the Fenix A320 has been lacking compared to the A32NX and PMDG, but now that all seems to have changed with this first update to Version 2 of the Fenix A320. The update list is simply huge - in this video, we pick out some of the big improvements and see how the performance compares.

![[MSFS vs XP12] Thoughts after the six flights I did](/img/n.gif)
You are - again - on top of it! Thanks for the vid! Looking forward to install this version and get it flying!
Thank you sir.I look forward to testing this shortly 👍
Loving the update so far. On my 13900K/4090 I'm seeing a 10 fps increase which is great to have in VR. Job well done Fenix !
15% fps more than the pmdg for me now, its incredible
Good news! We could fly it in VR !!
Yes indeed cause the pmdg already gives better performance than FBW so this is amazing can't wait to try it out tonight 😊
15% more than the PMDG? Wow thats awesome. Gonna reconsider buying it😁.
Fantastic compilation, mate. Informative and precise.
It’s even more beautiful. I love this simulator so much. The work and detail is unreal
Reading all the comments on the issues after installing V2 think I'll wait to see how it pans out. thanks for the great video as always Gavin.
Im EXTREMELY frustrated with Fenix. It was already nearly the only plane I flew, and here they go making it even better. 😂
Really Really huge update that's nice !
Just got my Yaw2 and now this.. going to be a sim weekend!
The flap shake at touchdown!!! 😎
Giving you a wave 👋
Wow! That's awesome!
Fenix is flyable again for me! Nice one fenix !
woooooow !! so mutch smooter :D amazing !
Thanks!! Mate
I made small flight today SEQM-SEGU and was very good VR immersion. Take off and landing was smoot and all cockpit buttons worked very well, I used Flight Deck Display CPU RENDERING. My rig is i9-1100k/3080TI/32g of RAM.
For some one who run this with a 2060 laptop, the performance improvement is massive and the sounds are amazing.
Downloading now, so excited to fly V2
Thanks for this update video ! Can’t try this new version for the fenix now because my 2nd son just born 🥰 think i going to try this when the second part of version 2 is uploaded.
But still have the time to watch your delicious stream !
Fly safe !
Congratulations man. 🎉🎉 that’s amazing. Enjoy your newborn 😉
Congratulations
Congratulations!!!
congrats for nothing 😂😂😂
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind support.
Always enjoying your videos, thank you for the information Mark ! I'm about to uninstall old version and install the new one :)
Have mine Fenix updated yet. Hope it runs good.
Don't forget to recalibrate your controllers etc in the MCDU.
Holds a steady 33 to 35 on my pc. Dips to 25 to 29 when im at EGNX with FSLTL running too. Very happy.
I had no lag on touchdown which was amazing. I haven’t had that since su10/9.
I’m getting basically no stuttering in the plane now. The fps boost doesn’t really affect me since I have a 4070 and use dlss frame gen (I was already getting 30+ fps so no matter what I’m gonna be at 60+ fps). But by far my favorite update is the landing characteristics. You never float anymore when you’re at 130-140 knots and it makes it so much more easier and fun to land. And idk what they did but the plane feels more “heavy now”. It feels like you are actually flying an airliner
Can absolutely confirm the same. Fantastic behavior now!
FPS boost and the new sound!
Wow
There are many with crazy cpu usage (well over 35%, i have 50-60%), also after reboot. Amir is aware of it and working on it. If you have the issue, please report it to the Fenix team, with the log added.
Why is that a bad thing? The CPU is there to be used so the more it is being used the happier I am.
@@JohnVanderbeck Because it leads to very very bad performance. Anyway, the Fenix-team considers this an urgent issue, and so do many users.
Can confirm, seeing worse performance than before
@@jip5873Yes but your comment failed to mention the CPU usage was in the Fenix APP so it makes sense after I went and looked on my own. You simply said "crazy high cpu usage" which to men implied in MSFS which would be a good thing. But no, its the outside Fenix app that has/had crazy high cpu usage.. you left that key part out mate :)
Anyway looks like they patched that.
i run a 9700kf & 3090 - this update has given my FPS a revive. best thing thats happened with fenix
That scenery from madeira island is very beautiful but also need an update 🙏
I was always impressed by the incredible texture quality of the Fenix A320 especially when you fly it in VR. The 3D immersion inside the Cockpit is so much better than with the FBW A32NX resp. Asobo A320, where the Cockpit with the MCP always appears somehow curved which isn’t realistic at all compared with the real cockpit of the A320. Looking forward to the FPS Improvement - this was really the worse thing in V1 compared with PMDG 738 - always need to to turn down visual settings to get it stutter free in VR
Will there be any improvement with turning knobs and being able to use both thrust levers together at the same time in vr ?
On my first flight on this version the automatic cabin pressure regulation failed for 20 minutes during cruise, had to lower it manually lol
Can't wait to try and see if it still lands like a brick :)
How u do those pass by?? look amazing
Ik at the gym im running home right now to update
Honestly the a319 and a321 will be the cherry on top. I'm eagerly anticipating their availability with IAE engines. Does anyone have any information on this? I'm really looking forward to it!
They're hoping end of September for IAEs
Gavin did you check the 787x ?? The EFB is working . Only doubt is that the EFB uses Metric system but the FMC uses imperial system !! Is it the same in real?
You can change both between Imperial and Metric in real life
How is it now compared to FBW?
now for the flight deck display how is put?
Great video. Didn't understand, but does this version already have the new airport layout with navigraph? Thanks
Yes
I just loaded in and quick test it, for me I dont really feel a fps boost yet
What GPU do you have?
@@fridericusrex9812 3060 and i7 12th
Will this work with toolbar pushback?
To look at the display, I need the magnifying glass, it's too small, right-Alt-clicking on the keyboard and mouse-clicking on the display, why doesn't the window undock?
Really wish the markings on the navigraph charts, like the taxi identifiers, didn't just keep shrinking as you zoom it. Very hard to see these for me in VR and zooming in doesn't help because they just stay the same fixed size no matter the zoom level :(
In the web based Navigraph charts there is an option to set the size of these features. Would really like to see that here in the EFB as well.
Yeah its horrible. Cant zoom in on vfr also..completely stops me using it.
I cannot zoom in Navigraph charts regardless of the settings (VR).
adjust the font size and it stops doing that
@@budguy21 Do you mean adjust the font size on windows? That is really helpful! Thank you so much 😊
@@Drmerlin604 go into your Navigraph settings, and look for something called Scale. Increase that.
Did they add a cabin chime yet?
Yes
I’ve had a bit of bother when I think my throttle is at idle aircraft moves my thrustmaster is abit lose now or need to play around with settings again didn’t have this issue before update
Thanks for the update. However it seems my rig is not as good as yours as my FPS slows down, especially at EGNX and EBBR. My specs however are similar to yours; i7-8700k, 32GB Ram, Nvidia 3070ti (6GB). I can only think your Ryzen is better and maybe you have better Video ram than mine. Do you think I might be CPU hindered?
what about periferial like thrustmaster sidestick and thrust quadrant, do I have to configure all and calibrate them again?
MCDU blank. Clean install 2x. Any ideas what could be wrong?
I would love to be able to fly this on my Xbox. The base game one seems big sad in comparision.
For some reason my FPS is really unstable now, sometimes not getting more than 15fps.
What’s the difference between use alternative display renderer and use display synchronisation ? Thanks
I'm not so sure but I think the Fenix app explains this.
i installed it wrong will see how removing through windows will help
Out tomorrow for a day at the coast. Want to cancel it now😂
Hello, You know what is can happening with the a319 and a321, and the sharklets, it has already been a long wait, I am very eager, greetings.
I have a question i am running v.1.5.2.214 Is this version 1 or 2 ?
How do you set the wing views? I cannot move view from the cockpit….
These are custom views for the aircraft. You can download mine on discord, or theres a CZcams video on my channel showing you how to set them up.
Don't forget to restart your pc after installing
Why is that?
@@jarisiv thats what they said to do
What tool do you use for recording? Thank you...
Streamlabs.
I didn't know that I had to unistall version 1. I installed over version 1 I guess Ill have to uninstall version 2 and then reinstall again.
for a Version 2 release, would have been good to have a file version 2 rather than 1.5.1.*** :)
Well its only block one of the updates towards version two. Maybe when they release block two the version name is correct as well :)
@@Jan-lj6ej Thats correct and mentioned by Fenix...
I would assume the new 3d model in block 2 of v2 will cause the number change to 2.
Doesnt V2 Blck1 add the new engine model ?
No that’s next update
Transponder keypad not functioning--will not enter squeak code--any thoughts?
squeak code? lol
Have u changed your control settings for the thrustmaster airbus sidestick?
They're linear with just a slight dead zone.
@@Easyjetsimpilot so it’s different with v2?
I dont know why but i get bored flying a320 but somehow enjoy the 737. I like to trim, etc. Not fenix vs pmdg. I just like to push more buttons i guess.
i do like the 737 more as its less automated like you said you have to keep it in trim on approach which is more interesting and also with the 737 i prefer to fly the approach without the autothrottles in in the A320 i tend to leave auto thottle on untill the last second , the guys at fenix have done a great job with the A320 the detail they have for the price and i was quite shocked how cheap they are going to put the A319/321 out for i fully expected to be paying 39.99 for each model
@@richardwarcup2432 Agreed. Great product.
How a game and any of its product tht needs to optimized for performance everybody should learn from Fenix, brilliant stuff, with 4090 rtx im getting around 90 fps on ground and well over 100 in air👏👏👏
My fps was significantly worse after the update on the first flight. Does it get better?
They are looking into it they said
All you need to do is to restart the pc and it should be fixed
Reboot made no difference. There may be some slight improvement with the default livery but the Lufthansa livery with the additional VOR module has gone as low as 4 fps
@@vulkan1233did you do a clean uninstall? you have to go in this order -> Uninstall--> Install--> restart--> open sim
Seems i wasnt on the latest v1. 5. 1.200. Solid 30fps now although there was one pregnant pause for a few seconds for some reason mid flight
i've been away from MSFS for a while, what exactly is Fenix? sorry I really don't know
They're a company who make an A320 for MSFS.
still no weather radar right?
No, that’s not their fault that’s an Asobo problem not providing an SDK
Finally
Hmm so you have to reconfigure your views? I'll backup my views file whatever it's called
Jst started to download so will there be new simbrief profile within in it
there already was, did you even look??
@@budguy21 I have a simbrief profile for it but have never noticed about the passengers I’m jst asking a question otherwise if you don’t know and ask how are you meant to learn take it you know it all then
@@karlbeard29 cool story bro, its just funny when people ask a question without even looking first.
For me since the sim update I installed yesterday I can't fly anymore, the game crashes right as I get into the game plus the loading time had been increased by like 5min l!! Awful! Idk what to do to fix it
Remove everything from the community folder.
@@Easyjetsimpilot and do what after lol? Reinstall them?
@@mrcodbeast4718 run the sim to check it works. If it does, then one of your addons is faulty.
Re the update, anyone got blank screen fmc. Tried everything to restore. Any ideas.
Anti virus might be blocking it. Either temp disable AV or if you can find it’s history of blocked systems and allow it
I was looking forward to this, so uninstalled the old via windows, installed the new, rebooted. The sim froze on first run, and then the computer wouldn't boot after that. Once I got over that and got it booting my windows sign in had vanished, so got that working again, got into MSFS with the fenix only to find it was running at about 5 frames per second. Uninstalled the fenix and all is well again with my computer. Perhaps I will wait until all the issues are sorted with this update ( This was the new updated installer)
Is the EFB map on the next update ?
The navigraph map is in this update.
Navigraph is definitely not cheap!
@@ronaldjamesNavigraph maps were already in the previous version.
@@jarisiv not the new version with the taxi maps etc
No neo ver.
They need to add the time acceleration.. 2x isn't going to cut it!
I don’t know if they have fixed it but using 2x time acceleration does not adjust the fuel usage so my EFOB at destination keeps increasing as I use it as that does not increase with time either
Great work Fenix well done, making the self proclaimed experts at PMDG look foolish again!
Really? PMDG have made 4 different variants of their aircraft and been frequently updating them and for most people get really good optimised FPS from the beginning. Is this all because you can’t do takeoff and landing performance calculations?
@@tomstravels520 At least Fenix has an EFB, something that has taken PMDG months to add to their aircraft.
@@PalestinianMinistryOfHealth and what does that EFB give you that PMDG doesn’t? Takeoff and landing calculations, that’s it, everything else can be done on the PMDG 737 CDU and the 737 gives you approximate speeds anyway for takeoff in most cases if you actually enter the correct data in
Fenix haven’t added sharklets to the aircraft yet, that shouldn’t take over a year to add should it?
Main thing I want to know. Has the engine start sounds beem made louder. And on decent too. Way too quiet for both
Haven’t landed yet, but just done a departure and the engine start noises definitely had more noticeable bass / rumble. Same goes for the buzzsaw noise on the takeoff roll etc. Sounds great to me so far!
@@JackHansen1997 update me on decent. Engines usually too quiet. Thanks man
@@markjackson5333 will do! Due to land in around an hour or so😅
@@JackHansen1997 flying to and from ?
@@markjackson5333 up to Tbilisi from Abu Dhabi (random I know aha!)
Is this a free update? Literally bought version 1 Last week.
yes
Yes, also block 2 which will release at a later point this year will be free. Only thing that won't be free will be the a321 and a319 expansion but you will still receive all updates for free, forever for the base a320
“Like easyJet, would do, they cram more passengers than the higher cost carriers like British Airways”
British Airways also has 180 seats on its A320/A320Neo’s 😂
Whilst capacity is upto 180, BA kit theirs out to around 150/156 (www.britishairways.com/en-gb/information/about-ba/fleet-facts/airbus-320-200)
@@Easyjetsimpilot I have been on a BA flight where only 4 rows were Club Europe so they could have 172 pax on board. I am aware that the seating layout on the link is not set and can vary depending on a few factors
Did you ever see that semi-standing proposal that was floating around a few years ago? I swear airlines would make us cram inside our luggage if we could.
Am I the only one that hasn’t noticed any performance boost at all??
I’m having 10 FPS LESS with this update 😣
Have you updated to the new new version that came out after?
Gavin where ya from m8
God's own country 😇👍
@@Easyjetsimpilot and where is that lol
@@Danny_Roman. Yorkshire.
@@Easyjetsimpilotshould have flown for Jet2 then 😂
Frame rates vastly better... except that the PFD and NFD are stuttering so badly as to make the aircraft completely unflyable... was perect before the update.
I am sure that this must be a setting issue. I ONLY fly in VR so I hope this is not a VR problem.
Would be grateful for any advice and help.
Does it finally support the default MSFS bindings for the AP? One thing that keeps me mostly on the FBW is that the AP panel on my Honeycomb Bravo actually can be used.
Since v1 I have used msfs bindings for AP off and AT off.
You showed no change. Just words. We knew that
Clearly you’ve not seen their discord? Bug after bug after bug since the update!
I have dropped performace drastically, unplayable.
Try restarting after installing
@@tomstravels520 Hi toms I had tried everything so far. I just open a ticket with Fenix to see what is going on. Thank you.
must be your pc
@@FlyingAstro yes and no. Fenix just put and update addressing the issue and mention above. Performace got much better but still a little worst than the PMDG 737.
@@Nemura12 i wouldn’t mind if it’s just a little worse really I get around 40 FPS for PMDG so 35-38 wouldn’t bother me
Yeah, you got something wrong. This is NOT version 2. That will come later
From their website: "I’m happy to say we will roll out V2 Block 1 for you at 1600 BST (that’s just under an hour from now..).". So its V2 (block 1, so part of it i guess)
This is version 2 block 1 and version 2 block 2 will come later in September.
you are 100% wrong. This is literally block 1 of version 2. Stop embarassing yourself
What a shit show that they name it V1.5 then 🤣
@@matterno yeah, cuz THATs what matters in a flight sim.....clown
sheesh... no IAEs in this upload? That stinks.
They did say they would come later if you read their initial blog post
Underwhelming update icl
Why so?
It works perfectly fine for me, atleast a 5-10fps boost.
@@MauriOTB Because there are always people who has to complain about something ;-)
The graphics changes on the flight displays are not an improvement at all. "Better colourings"....not at all. They;re worse. It now looks as bad as the NX. The Fenix V1 was much better in that respect.
have you seen the real cockpit?
there is no box to entre simbrief user ID on the V2 welcome screen
Only 10% less frames than the PMDG so it’s okay not what I Hage wished but hey it got way better with the latest fix (.200)
Feels like a new plane but landing you need time to get used to it, but take off is so much better insane but atm I don’t know if I like the landing/flare behavior or if I would prefer V1
Try some circuits to get use to the feeling. I found adding -22 sensitivity helped for my setup.
What's your GPU?
I have installed new update but AV deleted fenixcdu.exe due to Gen:Variant.MSIL.Krypt.57 infection. Anyone have same issue?
I have no mcdu. Could this be what happened with mine?
Anti virus blocking it?
@@tomstravels520 not sure. I'm going to try reinstalling tonight with AV disabled.
@@scottevans6765 depending on your AV you should be able to go into its history, find what it blocked and allow it
@@tomstravels520 Yes it is. I've wrote to Fenix and they said that the file is ok and Bitdefender has classed it as a false positive. So I solved inserting it in a exclusion list and then reinstall the Fenix update. Furthermore Fenix said that they asked to Bitdefender to remove this false positive.
