A321neo/A320-200

Post by AKLnKL » Thu Sep 21, 2023 11:20 am

Hello, it´s been a while since i wrote something about your products. After some time i flew your aircraft (A321neo) again recently. And i noticed some improvements, especially the new tablet and some IRS functionality. I know that you are working hard to improve your products so i wanted to give some ideas of things that need to be improved or added to your aircraft. I am only able to speak about the A321neo and the A320ceo because these are the only products i bought from you. First of all - the outside model (especially from the A321neo). This is the only thing that bothers me a little bit with the A321neo. The model on the outside has many cracks and some parts of the fuselage are standing out especially in the area of the forward doors. But in general the whole fuselage is not smooth. It has many visible lines and cracks. Especially the livery of Vietnam Airlines makes this visible. The real life counterpart has a smooth fuselage with no cracks or visible lines. Something else that i noticed is the light that shines through the aircraft during night. And here are those cracks again very visible. This prevents me from flying the aircraft in the dark. And as a user mentioned, there are many minor errors in the liveries, like missing ,,black masks". I like the flight model meanwhile. The only thing i noticed in the A321neo is the high pitch during cruise but i am not a professional so i dont know how realistic this is.
I know that you are working on improving the systems, so i want to give some ideas and improvements that would be a great addition to the systems but arent too complicated to implement (i hope so at least). I would like to see the functionality of: - the Chronometer, the ANN Lt test, EMER EXT LT. In addition to that simulated systems of: PACKS, Hydraulic Pumps (control surfaces only moving after those are turned on and not already in Cold and Dark), Engine and APU fire tests. Oxygen Supply. And the last thing, that is (with functional hydraulic pumps) the most important for me, is an implementation of TCAS with (THRT/ALL/ABV/BLW) and (STBY, TA, TA/RA). One of the last thing (that are located in the FMC) that i would love to see is a route planning with the airway logic, so that all those waypoints on an airway are added into the Flight plan. I know that you are working on callouts for minima, that is very nice. I hope i demanded not too much from but i really want to fly this aircraft more often again and these improvements will get me back to it. One last thing - as a wish - it would be really cool if you would add an Air Berlin livery for the A320-200 and a Eurowings livery for the A321neo (since they got their first A21N this summer.

We are currently working on improving and fixing the most basic things. Adding basic system functionality. Its going to be nonstop and at the same time releasing other planes to fund these improvements as we go along.

Again, the idea here is not 'study level' or 'high fidelity', its entry level. We are still committed into improving as much as possible, and will continue to do in the foreseeable future.

I have a recommendations with the A320. The Cargo door close very fast. Is possible to adjust the Cargo Door to see more realism in your close

Thanks
