The main purpose of this update was to make the mod compatible with MSFS 1.9.3. This release also comes with a few other improvements.

We recommend disabling multiplayer, AI traffic, and ground AI when flying the A320neo. This will help you avoid issues introduced in previous MSFS patches where other aircraft loading in will cause switches and knobs to change and other issues. Furthermore, please remove the highonsnow FPS mod, it is no longer necessary.

Also be aware that some custom liveries may interfere with the A320neo. Using the Navigraph beta may also lead to issues.

We recommend running MSFS on Windows 10 version 2004.

Added

  • [MISC] Add CHANGELOG.md - @NathanInnes (Nathan Innes)
  • [ND] Add DME distances, VOR/ADF needles and functioning ADF2 - @blitzcaster (bltzcstr)

Changed

  • [MCDU] Fixed several issues related to incorrect active waypoints - @lousybyte (lousybyte)
  • [MCDU] Fixed a crash when trying to replace a waypoint in the flight plan - @lousybyte (lousybyte)
  • [ECAM] Improved Upper ECAM Visuals - @wpine215 (Iceman)
  • [ECAM] Lower ECAM DOOR Page Colour Fix - @NathanInnes (Nathan Innes)
  • [EXTERIOR] Fixed issue in engine rotation animation that made it rotate too quickly - @lukecologne (lukecologne)
  • [MISC] Fixed mod so that it works with MSFS 1.9.3 - @DoToAdventures @tyler58546 @adenflorian

UNSUPPORTED RELEASE

This release is no longer compatible with the sim starting with version 1.9.3.0. We are working on a v0.3.1 release to add compatibility for the new patch.

v0.3.0

Until MSFS Update 3 releases on Tuesday, September 29th, we recommend disabling multiplayer, AI traffic, and ground AI when flying the A320neo. This will help you avoid issues introduced in the previous MSFS patch where other aircraft loading in will cause switches and knobs to change and other issues.

Also be aware that some custom liveries may interfere with the A320neo. Using the Navigraph beta may also lead to issues.

We recommend running MSFS on Windows 10 version 2004.
