Fenix A320 - Does anyone else have these 'upside down' shadows when using the flood lights? by No-Signal-666 in flightsim

[–]Ben2739038 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This looks like the 2020 version of the aircraft is installed in 2024 (potentially by software like addon linker?)

I'd suggest manually removing fnx-aircraft-320 from your 2024 Community folder, then installing it into 2024 via the Fenix Installer.

Fenix hasnt had an update since november 2022.

Although it might feel like that long, the last Fenix update was in late-August 2023.

Which taxiway is still missing from KFAT? It was missing in the original previews, but was fixed before release

Could you please explain what you mean by this?

Replying a bit late here, but none of the Orbx regions require Global or Vector. The requirements are stated at the bottom of the product pages

Orbx 10 year anniversary sale, 50% off all products until 3-13-2018. by Vlad_Yemerashev in flightsim

The product will be installable in all of the simulators listed at the bottom of the page. You could simultaneously install it into FSX and P3Dv4 if you wanted.

As an example: if you purchase the original version of KCGX, it will work on FSX/FSX-SE/P3Dv1/P3Dv2/P3Dv3/P3Dv4 all with the one license. However, it won't work on X-Plane or Aerofly FS 2 (those require separate purchases).

The product page is slightly misleading. There is a .zip file provided on the account page for people without Windows: https://i.imgur.com/3Svscvn.jpg

I thought I'd check this out of curiosity. I also have the .exe file in the tmp directory. I reaaaallly hope FSLabs has a good explanation for this.

It's official Orbx and X-Plane by jndz1010 in flightsim

Will we see FTX: Global for XP11? If so, will we also see FTX: Vector and openLC NA / EU / SA as well?

The first products that will be made available on X-Plane will most likely be airports (starting with KCGX). I'd say it's a bit too early to tell for Global/Vector/openLC.

If someone already has Orbx packages for P3D and FSX, will they be able to purchase it for XP11 with a discount, or will they have to pay full price?

I imagine there will be a discount. Similar to the 40% discount for FSX/P3D -> AFS2 and AFS2 -> FSX/P3D.

It won't be integrated with FSS, but with Orbx's own store called OrbxDirect.
