Today Fenix Simulations released the much-awaited Sharklets update for its popular Airbus A320 and Airbus A321 airliners for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The update does pretty much what it says on the tin, adding variants with the new sharklets to both aircraft, and replacing the older wingtip fences.
Yet, there’s much more than that under the hood, and you can find a full (very extensive) list of what changed on Fenix’s official post.
There is a metric ton of fixes coming with the update, including tweaks to avionics and systems, art and sound, and even the EFB tablet.
On top of that, in the same post, you can find the essential Simbrief profiles for all of the aircraft in all the available variations.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is currently available for PC and Xbox Series X|S. It’s worth mentioning that Fenix’s aircraft are not available for Xbox, as they require an external program to run, which is not compatible with consoles.
This aircraft should also work out of the box (if everything goes well in terms of backward compatibility) in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which will release on November 18 for PC and Xbox Series X|S. You can enjoy our hands-on preview with plenty of interesting details for your perusal.
You can also watch our interview with Head of MSFS Jorg Neumann and Asobo CEO Sebastian Wloch, another with Asobo CCO David Dedeine, and one featuring Chris Burnett of Working Title and Brandon Yaeger of Got Friends about their work on MSFS 2024.
Last, but not least, you can take a look at our A-10 flight through the Grand Canyon, our first look at the extensive pilot customization, another at the first mission of the Career Mode, a video featuring the new walk-around move showing off a Boeing 737 MAX up close and personal, and a challenge with the A-10 over the Blue Ridge Mountains.
