For me it only works around airports. After leaving the airport area it doesn’t display any traffic. I can see traffic outside but not on ND.
Is it within the TCAS display range criteria?
There is some TCAS options setting menu in the FMC, for showing all traffic, or only important very close traffic (or was that in the PMDG737?)
I have seen TCAS coming active once in the Fenix, while some Cessna was flying over the Airbus in 100 feet altitude and while standing on the runway.
But this video is interesting - in fact I have never seen TCAS in flight in my Fenix looking like this:
And I have never seen that variometer stripe or VSI or whatever this is called in an airliner - I only know that as “Variometer” in Cessnas - going half green and half red while the Fenix starts to dive.
Maybe the Fenix TCAS is not yet fully functioning or not fully reacting to AI traffic, or only reacting to traffic at similar altitude.
I know situations seeing an airliner starting or circling over a runway with my Fenix in the vicinity of the same airport but the navigation display was showing no traffic, and there was no TCAS warning.
There is a chance that the Fenix is ignoring (at least some) AI traffic, but I see other planes in so rare occasions that I always stare at the plane and zoom in trying to find out what type it is, instead of looking on the navigation screen if TCAS is doing something
And finally I understand the “final loadsheet”.
This “plus 2” or “plus 5” added to the passenger counter never made much sense because when using the overall PAX weight divided through the final loadsheet amount of passengers and plus-guests, flight guests suddenly only had a weight of 25kg or so which is impossible.
But when calculating the first X with an 78,5kg standard passenger weight, subtracting this weight sum from the overall passenger weight and dividing the rest of the weight through the “plus 3” or “plus 4” or whatever plus number the loadsheed says, one is getting a weight of a few kg up to 38kg for the plus guests.
And these additional flight guests are clearly Wombats, bunnys or infants brought by the flight guests, and now after doing some calculations finally the weight of the passengers and the loadsheet makes sense again!
Did you celebrate World Wombat Day?
Don´t forget to look at your final loadsheet to see on the passenger number plus x counter how many wombats are on board.
Especially when departing from Australia the amount of notorious cute animals on board is always high.
Since ever. It has never worked well with native MSFS traffic. Neither online nor offline. It only works at low altitudes and around airports.
With FSLTL, however, it works perfectly, and with VATSIM as well.
I have definitely seen it work in all situations with the default FS traffic. Not saying it works correct and the problem is that there’s hardly any traffic. I’m now using FSLTL but that’s rather heavy on the system.
Ah thank you very much for reminding me about this program! Installing now
If you want a really beautyful looking livery for your Fenix, here is one especially good looking:
And some of the best looking bonus liveries:
I just wonder if the IAE and sharklets are still coming. Hopefully after SU11
Sharklets are relative new and not really fitting to an older A320 CEO versions, but the IAE are an absolute must
Airbus delivered the first A320ceo with sharklets ten years ago, in 2012. So, not really new.
Same here. No Clou why. Happens on various runways. Did you resolve that issue.
But I guess only a few CEOs have been upgraded with sharklets. I always thought sharklets are mainly a NEO-thing.
At least it is not unrealistic entering the cloudy hunting grounds with a CEO shark, sooooooo looking forward to drive the cloud shark soon!
This picture was made three seconds before this guy was eaten:
Love this shark mouth livery! An A320 on the prowl, probably looking for smaller 737-prey.
Awesome I hope the cloud shark update is released soon!!
Maybe I miss something but how to change to AZERTY keyboad on the EFB ?
Yes, i think it was a bad runway. Try some others. If they are the same make sure you have set your weight correctly and trimmed accordingly.
Praise the Fenix, it revolutionized the flight simming genre and brought everything to the next level
We finally have an Airbus that has even better functionality than the legendary FS-labs and whatnot (there are some truly awesome Airbusses out there) but without being visually and graphics-quality-wise stuck forever in the year 2007 … finest photorealism instead.
TXS, I changed the profile of the airframe, that did it. It definitely has something to do with the weight.
The next update for the Fenix cockpit overhaul is here
And there are 30 more screenshots I don´t want to uplad all of these, see the file screenshot folder for more details, and enjoy your flight
New update is out
A320 v1.0.5.139
[SYSTEM]
-
Adjusted custom low speed friction model
-
Adjusted G/S mini logic
-
Fixed beacon/strobe desync
-
Fixed flap 2 to flap 3 excessive nose-down ballooning in manual flight and autoflight.
-
Adjusted tuning for G/S hold for better tracking of G/S in autopilot modes
-
Autoland told to stop mucking about and do the job properly, should flare a little more aggressively now.
-
Fixed issue with loss of ILS signal in the FMS autotuner. This causes lack of yaw control during ROLLOUT, leading to grassy excursions. Please note, it’s possible this issue still exists in specific sceneries that do not have their guidance beams set up properly.
-
ISA fixed.
-
Small tweaks to FLARE mode behaviour.
-
Introduction of LIGHTER/HEAVIER sidestick option in CONTROL CONFIG, default changed to “lighter” for desktop hardware.
-
Changed amount of force needed to disconnect autopilot with stick pressure. Now a user needs to apply roughly 60% of travel before the AP will disconnect. This is the best way we can emulate a “control lock” which requires a fair amount of force to disconnect.
-
Disabled brake temperature simulation for GSX pushbacks.
-
Reduced sensitivity of yaw when nose wheel is in contact with the ground, leading to significantly smoother yaw control during crosswind landings and at high speeds.
-
Minor refinements to initial VNAV descent angle calculations.
-
Fixed issue where the flat deceleration segment for 250kts was missing when a “at or above” altitude constraint was present.

-
Slight bump to flap full lift, aircraft should feel more responsive in flap full configurations, ergo FLARE feels slightly more energetic now as opposed to throwing elevator up into a bowl of porridge. All in, this should be more consistent, simply put. The prior the lack of lift was causing inertia issues. Please be aware of this on your next approach, some refamiliarization might be required.
-
Made a small adjustment to lateral friction values
-
Made a small adjustment to ground spoiler effectiveness
[ART&SOUND]
-
All exterior lights now volumetric
-
Added back missing antennas
-
#bringbackcontrails
-
Volume bug resolved preventing some sounds from playing at their intended volume
-
Fixed nose gear retraction sounds
-
Brighter cockpit
-
Sound fixes and improvements (flaps/slats/fuel-pumps/AEVC/packs)

Fenix guys amusing, as always
