Flight Simulation developers shared news today, including aircraft and scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020.
Before we move on to the news, below you can find another flight simulation story that received its own individual coverage today.
Without further ado, I leave you with the news.
Fenix Airbus A320neo and A321neo Delayed to 2026 to Give Priority to VNAV and ECAM Updates
Fenix announced that its highly anticipated Airbus A320neo and A321neo won’t make it for the end of 2025. The reason is that the developer has decided to prioritize correcting the flaws in the current A320 CEO’s vertical navigation (VNAV) system, updating the ECAM infrastructure while removing persistent bugs, and implementing state saving.
Updates to VNAV and ECAM will come first, followed by state saving, which is more complex to implement.
The Neos will come afterward, as it would not make sense to release them before these elements are fixed. The new aircraft will benefit from the updates as well when they are released.
That being said, we do get to see a video showing an A320neo taking off, specifically the version sporting the CFM LEAP engines. The aircraft will enter wider testing after the VNAV and ECAM are updated on the CEOs.
