Yes, absolutely correct. I should have stated it this way - in many cases you will receive the permission ahead of time. But as you stated, deviation from an ATC instruction or plan must always be provided by ATC.
Yeah, totally. Not sure what I was thinking! Same applies to any ATC issued instruction. Else “I have a number for you to copy when ready” may follow.

Hello,
Is the FENIX A320 operating manual available to review (on line or via download) before purchasing the product?
I do not see any link for this on the FENIX web site, only a link to purchase the simulator.
Thanks!
There is no manual provided by Fenix.
there’s no manual, but the checklist is working enough, and if you did read the FBW A32NX you are basically good to go for basic/normal operation of the Fenix, I did tranasfer from FBW pretty easily, and this is my first flight sim ever

did a RNAV approach full manually with a bit aid of the FLS, seems I am catching on and though far from the real pilots, it works anyway

Perfect landing!
By the way when watching these old original Fenix videos on YouTube the developers were proud of some nice little detail - a post-it that can be implemented into the cockpit.
Is this post-it still existent in the release version cockpit, and how is it added to the cockpit and how is written onto it?
Can anybody please tell my how should I enter a tailwind in the fuel prediction (Init B) of the MDCU during setup?
Headwind works with “HD”, but if I use “TL” to express tailwind, like I do in the A32NX MCDU, I get a “wrong format” message.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did a search and was inable to find it.
Thanks a lot.
You enter the trip wind field as a positive or negative. Use a negative number for headwind, positive for tailwind. For example, for headwind use -5 and +10 (I think it works without a + symbol as well) for a tailwind. The trip wind is only for entering a mean wind correction for initial fuel prediction. Once you input a full wind forecast, I don’t think it’s factored into the calculations.

Thank you so much!

The Post-It was actually a pre-release-only ‘marker’ if you will.
It was there to identify software builds that were not for release.
The Post-It itself was an in-joke between Katie Pilot and the rest of the team “stay off my side” as Katie is a SFO who flies on the right-side

So, this happended twice with me. I was on a managed climb and away from my system when the a/c reached crusise altitude. However, instead of holding it, the cruise altitude was surpassed and speed also was way higher than the curise speed.
Throttle was at climb detent; with manual intervention I got the aircraft to slow and climb down to a 1000ft below cruise altitude; barometric pressure was set to Std post FL100.
Even after that, the aircraft kept flying 1000ft below the cruise alt of FL340 and pushing the altitude knob for managed climb to FL340 had no effect. Any ideas will be useful.
Oh I always just use H15 or T15
Any news on the new update yet though? I haven’t been on discord for quite some time. I wonder what’s keeping them so long.
It isn’t available unfortunately. However, there is an easter egg in the cockpit for eagle-eyed individuals may involve movement somewhere…
Furthermore - stay off Katie’s side!

Did you set the Cruise altitude in INIT page?
I did set the cruise altitude on INIT A page

Then it’s weird, hope Fenix could solve this for you, personally I never encounter that
Questions experts, I’ve done this manual landing in LPMA, right before touchdown despite my start to rasie the nose the plane did drop like a rock (luckily still did a ~260-300 fpm touchdown with a bit of power added back). was that some sort of wind shear or it’s some ground effects?
I hope it doesn´t take long, and they improve the cabin sounds.
This aircraft is a master-piece, but cabin sounds are not up to the rest of the product. There is a repetitive bass rumbling that really spoils the experience, particularly in wing views during cruise.
Other than that, I love this product so much, I almost cry of happyness every time I use it…
