Aircraft developer FlightFactor has recently released a new update to its popular A320 aircraft for X-Plane. This update brings various bug fixes and quality of life improvements to the plane, as well as an array of other misc. features.

The A320 made by FlightFactor was first released for X-Plane 10 in February 2018. It was further updated to be made compatible with X-Plane 11 a short time later. The team at FlightFactor has been making constant progress at  fixing any issues and adding new systems to the aircraft. However, there was a long period of no development to the A320 for X-Plane 11 and some users were experiencing performance issues. FlightFactor had reacted to this by releasing a major new update towards the end of 2021 which had fixed many issues users were experiencing. When X-Plane 12 was released, FlightFactor had worked hard on the constant updates with this aircraft and are still continuing to make the small little changes to enhance the users experience within the sim.

The new version marks another solid step in the development of the Airbus A320, which is currently an open BETA phase for X-Plane 12. The update provides overall improvements to the flight deck such as font stylings and colors and other quality of life updates to the aircraft systems.
