Hello everyone, I am happy to announce that our latest update (v5.0.1.151) for the A320-X, A319-X and A321-X for P3D v4 and v5 (64-bit) is now live and available through our download page. This is a maintenance update which fixes several issues identified since our last public release and in preparation for our upcoming A320-X and A321-X Sharklets products which are soon to be released. In this release, you will find that we have expanded our Input Controls management and handling logic greatly, to allow and include all Airbus input device controls, such as dual side stick input

Hey folks. I decided to transcribe the chat BlackBox711 and AirbusFTW had with Andy and Lefteris live in the Discord. I've since cleaned these up a little and have turned them into the notes below. These aren't entirely verbatim but I've tried to be as close to it as I can. Anything where I wasn't sure what was said has not been included. I hope you enjoy the answers. Some of them shine some light on to the challenges of developing this brilliant software. Credit to @Andrew Wilson and @Lefteris Kalamaras for spending so much time answering questions, and to BB711 and AirbusFTW for hostin

One step closer now: The product family is now updated to v151.

Hi Danny, yes the plan will be to allow streamers to continue flying the sharks and also allow our beta team to discuss/share screenshots. Right now the teams are focussed on the release path, a complex and intricate phase of the project cycle and one that requires a lot of care and attention to deliver a successful product launch. Something we pride ourselves on - and that our customers have become accustomed to.

Greetings all! Having seen several people questioning the speeds being generated by the miraculous new FSlabs performance system i figure id spend some of my many hours of waiting to go back to flying to explain what is an incredibly complex topic in just a few paragraphs(yeah right!). For those who dont know me i was lucky to fly the 320/321 for 16 years with 5 years on the 330 in there as well these days on the 787. I also ground instruct teaching stuff like performance and all the other topics initial Airbus guys learn before they hit the fleet so in short i know a little or

Stream the sharklets BB

@Stu Antonio Let me borrow your image for some Caption It fun to release the tension eating our brains and veins.

We don't do April Fool jokes here. See you there

Miguel, with the greatest respect, it’s not you paying the bills. The A319-SL is not a financially viable title due to this very reason. In broad terms, our two Sharklet titles have taken over nine months to create each one (dividing 18 months equally here for example only) - adding a third to the mix would add (again, broadly speaking) another nine months to the project. This would not only add development cost and time to our SL program - but also resources lost from more financially viable titles that are scheduled to follow the SL’s.

Saw this the other day in BBs discord & can't help but laugh

Realistically, guys, don't expect a release until a few days after you see us lift the NDA. I wouldn't normally have to repeat this, but I understand some of you are becoming way too anxious for your own good - please, go outside, enjoy some fresh air and come back and post back here how lovely it was .

Livery spam, nahhh no such thing will happen . Anyways here's another shot of WX to keep you EZY fans happy. UK and EJS Sharklet regs are completed and ready to go... next onto the EJU SL fleet.

Don't be so ridiculous. We know it's close, because FSL have said it's close. How else can they purvey that to you? It's going to go from "close to release" to "ready to release", at which point we'll get all the info on pricing, release date etc., just as FSL have already said. Do you really want micro-updates from Andy to say they worked on a bug in the FWC, which still tell you nothing about progress? As a former beta tester for FSL I can tell you that you can't put a percentage on progress. The beta team could be given a release candidate, everything will look great, and then an hour

Little teaser of our work of the past month or so;) @Gregory Verba @Enzo Dewit

Enjoying the A319 a bit more often these days until...... well, you know

One of @Norman Blackburn's favourites I hear

Nice 3-day tour around europe: FRA-LHR-FRA-BRU-FRA-BER-FRA-GOT-FRA

Our Common Files are up and liveries are following soon:)

The fact that Norman is suddenly so chatty in this section leads me to believe that he has nothing to do/test anymore . Good sign....

Soon (-er than the sharks) to enjoy some last wtf flights

I don’t think micro-news updates are necessary. If it’s not released yet, then you know we are working on it. Regarding the PFPX question: yes the EFB will still show your OFP, providing it was uplinked through ATSU.

All I can hear currently is Jess Glynnes' Hold my hand on repeat

Worked together with @Enzo Dewit and @Gregory Verba on something really quite cool

We're waiting desperately for the WTF update so we can finally start waiting desperately for the promo video which will then allow us to keep waiting desperately for the SL release

Dear flight simmer here in the forums, News might have spread of some gentlemen accusing us of copying the work of some other, very talented painters. I personally was very surprised and also saddened by the partly very rude, immature and childish comments which were given to us. At this moment I’d like to once more clarify that our work, particularly the Custom Paint kit, released by two fellow painters and myself was made completely independent. It can’t be normal that I and my two fellow painters receive private messages of other painter “punishing” us for in fact doing a

Small bus

Lufthansa A319 update is ooooon the way

Yeah.... it’s really getting Sharklate.

Jeremy. They’ve been working on the Sharklet addon for 18 months. They’ve written thousands of lines of code in order to make the product as accurate as they can. This has been a huge undertaking for the FSLabs team. They are not going to give this away for free, nor should they.

the Hype is coming back guys

Soonlets

This forum is looking more and more like a mental health group than a hype thread

I’d be very surprised actually. But I like surprises On the other hand, nothing can really surprise me anymore. Even if we still talk about the promo video in summer ... This has been “close” for too long now.... I don’t believe anything anymore.

Soon™

I have to say that Lefteris and the entire great team behind these planes have really brought flight simulation to a whole new level. The immersion level is just out of this world compared to most other addons. In combination with GSX and fs2crew, I really feel like I'm back to flying a real airplane. Although I never flew any other airliner than the CRJ-700, and having changed careers to the other side of the mic, I always wished that I would one day get a chance to fly the A320 series. This addon has really made me appreciate the beauty and joy of flying(albeit virtually) while not having to

@Lefteris KalamarasThank you for your words regarding the current situation. I speak for many when I say that we also wish you and your family and the whole team a lot of health. Stay safe and thanks for the update!
