Matt Schmalz Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Hi everyone, I'm strongly considering the FS Labs A321, primarily because of features like the MEL. I may be in the minority, but if things can't go wrong simming just isn't as interesting for me . With that mind, I do have a few questions that hopefully people here can help me with: 1. I believe I found that panel state saving between flights is an option, can someone please confirm? 2. For failures, do they persist between flights? As an example, if something failed (like the APU as an example) and wasn't detected on a flight for whatever reason, would that persist to the next? 3. Can failures cause other failures? As an example, would an oil leak later cause an engine to fail? 4. Without providing an exhaustive list (unless someone wants to... I'd take it haha), how many failures are modeled roughly, and do they cover all major systems? 5. For the ice accumulation feature, is this purely cosmetic or will it impact flight or systems in any way? 6. Any war stories you can share about flights that went, well, not as expected as a result of the failure system? Thanks in advance! 1 Quote

There is a tech log that keeps track of all issues during the flight. Quote

But yes, there’s a panel state save feature. Just yesterday I had a forward lav fire detector alarm go off. Really adds to the immersion. Quote
Brad Zimmer Posted January 18 Posted January 18 I have a question (sorry if this was asked). If you buy the 2020 version, will that be a free upgrade when 2024 comes out? Quote

ArslanTuregun Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Hi there. I have a "neo" question. When it comes will it be a standalone purchase or will it require the ceo as a base? Cheers, Arslan Quote

Rodrigo Andres Jipoulou Saez Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Hello fslabs team, your a320ceo is fantastic, but I have 2 questions, the first is how long will it take to launch the a320neo? and the second, will the a320 neo come with the Pratt & Whitiney and CFM-LEAP engines Quote
Rodrigo Andres Jipoulou Saez Posted February 3 Posted February 3 What condition is your a330 in? And what variants will they develop? Do you plan to make the A340 family? Quote
Norman Blackburn Posted February 3 Posted February 3 8 minutes ago, Rodrigo Andres Jipoulou Saez said: how long will it take to launch the a320neo? It launches around the same speed as the CEO. More information on upcoming products will be made in good time. Quote

You sure Norman cause the neo does have some improved engines and some engines that are consistently in maintenance so I guess it evens out? Quote

As in the plane launches Sabine. Not the speed of the engine. Its a given we are very particular about things like the time an engine starts. Quote
Rodrigo Andres Jipoulou Saez Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Do you plan to launch the entire a320ceo and neo family Quote
Rodrigo Andres Jipoulou Saez Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Will you make the whole neo family? a319neo, a320neo and a321neo Quote
