FSLabs A321 Update: v11.0.1.292

We are excited to announce the release of a new update for our FlightSimLabs A321ceo product line, now available through the experimental channel within the FSL Control Center. This update reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing the simulation experience by introducing new features and resolving a wide range of issues that have been reported by our dedicated community.

In this release, we’ve worked hard to implement several exciting additions that further elevate the realism and functionality of the A321ceo. Alongside these new features, we’ve addressed numerous bugs and made important refinements based on our customers valuable feedback. Whether it’s improved system integrations, smoother performance, or more reliable behavior in challenging scenarios, this update is packed with enhancements designed to make your virtual flights even more immersive and enjoyable.

Below, we’ve highlighted some of the most notable new features and fixes included in this release.

New WXR-2100 Weather Radar

Building on the innovative technology provided by Asobo, we’ve seamlessly integrated the Rockwell Collins WXR-2100 system into the A321ceo’s avionics suite. This collaboration leverages Asobo’s exceptional weather engine and our commitment to delivering unmatched fidelity in systems simulation. The radar functionality has been meticulously designed to interact with the live weather environment in Microsoft Flight Simulator, ensuring that pilots can experience accurate radar returns that reflect real-world conditions. From auto-tilt adjustments to customizable range settings, the radar system offers a comprehensive set of tools for route planning and in-flight decision-making.

With this update, Flight Sim Labs continues to set the benchmark for high-fidelity aircraft simulation. Our development team has worked to ensure that every aspect of the WXR-2100’s integration is true to life, from the realistic radar display to its ergonomic interface in the flight deck. The result is a simulation experience that not only enhances the realism of flying the A321ceo but also provides a deeper understanding of the complexities of modern aviation technology.

Hardware Integration

We are excited to share that our code has been expanded to work seamlessly with popular systems like WinWing, MiniCockpit, WingFlex, and more. This update allows users to fully tap into our extensive LVARs list and events tables, making it easier than ever to enhance and personalize your simulation experience. Whether you’re setting up a home cockpit or exploring new ways to bring your simulation to life, this compatibility update opens up exciting possibilities for deeper immersion and creative customization.

Issues Successfully Resolved:

One common issue reported by many of our customers, as well as those using other aircraft add-on titles, involves SimConnect – the internal system that enables third-party tools to send and receive data from the simulator – being throttled. This throttling could cause erratic aircraft behavior. We’re pleased to announce that we’ve identified and resolved this issue within our code base, and the fix is included in this release.

Additionally, we’ve addressed another significant issue experienced during landings in icing conditions, which was related to the default pitot heat system in MSFS. By extending our integration with MSFS’s default pitot heat system, we’ve successfully resolved this problem as well.
