[A319, A320, A321] Fenix High-Fidelity Aircraft

Has anybody else come across this with V2 ? When entering a DIR TO waypoint in the mcdu using the DIR tab, you experience a complete loss of control . The sim continues flying but all controls and inputs become unresponsive.

Yes the sim becomes unresponsive (but the airplane continues flying straight ahead) when you enter a waypoint or an airport into the MCDU.
They are currently working on the patch :slight_smile:

Thanks for info , i can stop pushing buttons now :joy:

Could someone please tell me if the alternate fuel predictions page its working?

I get a calculation that is below what my simbrief OFP estimated (1.1 tons calculated by the Fenix MCDU, 1.6 tons from my OFP) so I enter the more conservative calculation from the OFP.

I don´t know how this discrepancy would be handled in real life.

EDIT: Oh, you mean during flight… No, it does not appear to be working…

Does anyone know why Fenix doesn’t allow doing manual arrival ( landing) ?
have they ever thought
someone might want to adjust
their flight equimpments sensivity by doing multiple landings?

I am not sure if I understand, but you can preform manual flying amd landings.
Just turn off autopilot.

Of course you are still on am airbus. So Fly-by-wire is still supporting you to stay within safe parameters.

no I was referring to manual landing where u can choose “set as arrival” and do as many landing as u want!

doing so is only possible in the fbw320 or pmdg 737 but fenix won’t allow it and ends up facing the ground!

Ah. My misunderstanding.

no I think I couldn’t get my point across properly.

If you mean an arrival without a STAR hmm that is possible with manual GPS coordinate waypoints, of flying manually to the vicinity of the airport trying to catch the glideslope, or going to a waypoint that looks like 30 miles away from the airport in a straight line to the landing runway, and trying to catch the ILS glideslope while flying closer to the airport.

Programming the MCDU without a SID and a STAR is possible (at least I think so… have I ever tried? :smiley: Maybe… not fully sure.)

No, I’m saying why
when i spawn on the plane ( thorugh “set as arrival” )
it ends up being on the ground
instead of in the air ?
The plane is right in a straight line of facing the runway، but it’s on the ground instead of airborne.

Since most of the Fenx aircraft is an external app reading and writing info to the sim, it probably doesn’t understand in-flight starts that aren’t from a saved scenario ( can you do that with the Fenx?)

PMDG and FBW are totally contained inside the sim and don’t have the same compromises.

It probably is, but what’s interesting is
that the plane is actually in the air,
but when I hit the flight button (yellow one)
it appears to be on the ground at the last sec, as if the plane crashed.

I saw the same behavior with the default neo320 in the FS academy Jetliner tutorials. In air lesson start, but the plane is on the ground… So maybe its also a MSFS problem?

for me, having it only with the fenix!
the rest are fine!

My opinion,

Spawn at a hangar…taxi to the runway and Take off and Vector yourself to the ILS to work on ur landing

sky dolly is a better idea!

Have you tried setting an altitude in Navlog, before starting your flight?

You can also set a custom origin, lined up on the approach for your target runway. For example, if you wish to practise landings on a runway 9, set a custom origin due west of the runway and set an appropriate altitude for the approach in Navlog. The destination/arrival is, of course, your target runway.

Yep during the fligth i meant, fuel predicted to altenate its not working , hope the fix it
