Go to the Navigraph Hub app, and update the AIRAC cycle. See below screenshot. The same thing happens to me when I forget to do so. I think the developer of the app should implement a function to update this automatically.

WoW thanks! I totally missed this app! 
thasnks so much, they even have a specific update for the fenix now…
HELP! I thought I understood how to manage the throttle in the fenix but it is not…today I crashed for stall.
I understand that i can switch from manual to managed. But why in manual it won’t follow my lead? I keep receiving yellow alert on the lever to be moved and also di AP disconnect. To make it riconnect I have to fly manually a bit. ALso di Altitude is lost sometimes (even if I put it in manual and set it to mantain, it keeps passing the FL assigned)…
Uff…I know I am new and learning but this is frustating
A post was split to a new topic: Can’t Select FS2020 Community Folder
Wondering if Fenix has any interest in replicating the V1, Rotate call outs? I know these are performed by the PNF and are not automated, but it would still be a nice touch to have these.
I’m not on their discord any news on the upcoming update?

Fenix published a very long and detailed blog post on their 2025 roadmap
silence is elsewhere.

Guys, I am sitting on the tarmac at HK airport, OAT is 26°c. This is the A321 but the same happens in the A320.
Engines shutdown. APU is On but Bleed Air is Off. In other words, there is no AC.
As you can see from the below screenshot, air coming into the ventilation is around 34°c.
- How is this possible, if OAT is 26°c only ? If there is no airconditioning, I would expect the temperature in the aircraft to equalise with OAT ?
- I noticed that at air temperature control knobs equal, the temperature in the AFT compartment is much higher than CKPT and FWD compartments. As is the case in the below screenshot. What is the reason for this ? This is also the case when the AC is On. The AFT compartment always seem to be warmer than the others.
- I am now airborne. As you can see, the temperature control knob for the AFT compartment is all the way to the left, yet the temperature in this compartment is still an uncomfortable 26°c. Am I doing something wrong ?..
You know when you get in a car on a hot day and it’s so much hotter than outside? Same.
Did you have your rear doors closed when you were sat on the tarmac? This could be one of the reasons why. Maybe next time you are somewhere hot see if having all the doors open improves airflow.
Don’t forget the aft of the aircraft is also where the galley & heated cargo hold are located too.
You’ve only just taken off but you have already got the aft cabin down by 11 degrees, I would say that’s pretty good! I would expect it to equalise out as the trip progresses.
This is why I love the Fenix so much.

Exactly as @Ariana2022UK says. There are many things inside the aircraft that generate heat and also human bodies are walking heaters. Try to open a cockpit window when sitting on the ground and you’ll see how the temperature in the cockpit rises or drops as heat gets in/escapes the cockpit. Fenix has this physical phenomenon simulated, which is absolutely cool.

@Ariana2022UK and @mhron thanks for the responses. This is encouraging so may be I’m not missing something about the AC operations after all.
Yes, my first thought was that Fenix had modelled the convection heat from the tarmac (I fly GA and I can feel that in summer, on sunny days the temp on the tarmac, let alone in the PA28, is much warmer than the OAT advertised).
But I didn’t think that Fenix would model that !
I went to their website and couldn’t find anything on the subject, other than a vague reference to the metal of the seats generating additional heat was modelled. Perhaps this is all I need to know actually… if they modelled that, they probably modelled heat by convection transfer.
Let me reach out to support to know if by any chance there is more to read on the subject that I have missed.
Thanks again. This is really really really cool !

The Fenix manual can be found inside the A321 POH

You mean the QRH ?
If yes, I can find the A320’s in ProgramData/Fenix/EFB/assets.
How about the A321’s ?
I like this plane but its install is all over my hard drive (including the QRH in a Hidden folder, what an absurdity).
But to clarify what I would like more information about is what it is exactly that the Fenix team has modelled in terms of heating the cabin. I presume this wouldn’t be in the plane’s manual.
It was a little joke but Fenix is so realistic all you need to do is just follow the real world Pilots Operating Handbook (POH)
You can certainly practice real world emergency procedures too with the QRH (Quick Reference Handbook).
The Fenix website & knowledge site and 320 pilots videos on YouTube are also good.

I would like a Fenix add-on that has a flight attendant calling the cockpit to advise that it’s “too hot” or “too cold”. Any takers? I’ll be the first to buy!

The one in my plane would be super busy, full flight job !

Fellas I have observed something else. May be someone here knows.
See the below video (apologies for the poor OBS skills).
APU is Off.
At iddle thrust, AC is On, blowing a nice, comfortable 21°c air.
Then I bring the throttle lever to FLEX, and you can see the temperature of the air blown in the AC rising immediately, in my case here, to 45°c !
When I bring back the throttle lever to iddle, the temperature immediately drops back.
Anyone knows what’s behind this ?
edit: @Ariana2022UK okay yes well noted on all this. A few weeks ago I downloaded the FCOM for the suite A319/320/321 (IndiGo), is 7500 pages long. I may need a few hours to even figure out how to approach a reading of this thing lol.
