Nice mod, would be great to somehow be able to always have the latest fbw exp version with it though, as its very out of date now, and so much has been added to the fbw exp in that time.

This is a fantastic mod that completely changes the entire LVFR Airbus series.

From what was effectively a visual model wrapped around a pretty average default aircraft we now (thanks to the team at FBW as well of course) have an actually decent representation of the A321NEO and A321LR.

Can't thank you enough for the time and effort spent on this mod which has been a complete game changer for this aircraft.

I'd also definitely like to second the request to include the FBW display stutter fix in the next update as I had forgotten quite how badly the FBW used to stutter. It's definitely very noticeable, but this is just an amazing piece of work.

Huge thanks to everyone involved in creating this.

Hi, I am experiencing a flickering problem with the screens in the aircraft cockpit when I zoom out the camera, will this be fixed in the next update?

I was skeptical, I didn’t have the 321neo from LVFR but I had seen a lot of negative reviews. But I decided to buy the base plane and give this mod a try. I’m so impressed! As noted the fuel burn seems off but otherwise, the combination of these downloads is fantastic. I’ve spent a lot more money on Toliss packages in xplane over the years but I think this package plus LVFR is almost on par and far better value.

thanks for this!

Game changer

nice now i like to fly withe the a321neo more

Hi,

After using the mod none of my display work. They are all dark and wont load upon starting the plane. Am I doing something wrong?

Very good!!

only cockpit and no fuselage

NO CABIN LIGHTSSSSS I SO DARK

This mod and all of the other FBW Compatability mods for the LVFR Airbus planes are a life saver. They take the value of the LVFR Airbus aircraft prices and dial it to 100.

My only wish (and idk if this is a Horizon Sim thing or not) is that FlightSim FirstOfficer worked with these. I had kind of hoped since this was running FBW it would work with the FSFO FBW A320 setup since the layout should be the same but for some reason FSFO is able to interact with literally everything BUT the FMS. It's nice having FSFO be able to control lights/spoilers/flaps and all but honestly the one thing I hate doing in an Airbus is setting up the FMS and it's the one thing FSFO can't do with this mod.

As for everything else with this mod, it's been amazing. I haven't had any issues in the A321 or the A319 (I haven't bought the A318 yet) and thanks to this mod I'm alllllllllllmost at the point of converting from a Boeing to Airbus fanboy.

Great! Although the flight model does need some work. I was on final the other day and saw myself pitching the aircraft down way too much for full flaps. The speed kept increasing and didn't feel real at all. It also kept t disengaging the autopilot during a steep bank which I didn't like. Compared to the Fenix it felt like a toy in that sense. Apart from that the systems are great, and it made the Latin vfr worth it! Thanks horizon. I'm not sure how difficult it is to implement better flight model or in that case the fbw fight model but if you guys could attempt that I would find myself flying this aircraft much more.

Thanks!

Thank you! Please do more realistic spin with engines.

MY AUTOPILOT IS IN SHAMBLES. IT DOESNT WORK WITH SIMBRIEF NAVIGATION. PLEASE MAKE THIS A ZIP FILE. NOT GIMP.

this is actually really good! i find myself using this mod more often than i thought i would. i just wish there would be a proper -271N systems/model or are they too similar with the -251 to even consider doing a rework? i don't know myself as not a pilot but simply an enthusiast, all i know is the CFM and PW sound different. keep up the good work! i can tell as a casual simmer there is great potential for extensive development for this mod. just hope it won't be abandoned.

Hi there! It's really nice add-on! I really like it! But please do something with the exterior lights! especially with NAV and STROBE effect reflections.

Thank you for this excellent mod! It works great. You are doing a great job!

One small detail: I cannot see the copilot avatar even if it is selected n the FBW Tablet option.

Would it be possible to make the copilot appear?

Thank you very much!

Somewhere in the FBW A32X implementation is/was a piece of code that causes notebale stutters every 20-30 seconds as discussed here: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/613139-fbw-a320-stutter/page/4/

The FBW team has identified and fixed the issue in their dev version. Sadly this issue also occurs in your LVR-Mods (A318, A319, A321), too. Can we hope that this fix also gets implemented in your mods as it is really immersion breaking?

Help. how to remove passengers from the cabin?

When i download it, it downloads as a windows media player file. how do i change it to the correct file format? thanks.

Frequently Asked

Questions? Find your solution here.

The plane doesn't appear in my list

You need to buy the actual LatinVFR A321neo from the marketplace, and then place the mod into the community folder.

 

Do I need to replace any of the files in the LVFR A321neo folder

No, you just drag and drop the downloaded folder into your Community Folder

Will this mod work on Xbox, since the plane does

Xbox due to its fully encrypted file system doesn't allow mods to be installed therefore sadly for the time being this mod is not available on Xbox

When is the next update coming

The simple answer is: we do not know, and we'd rather not give estimates and not meet them. The funny answer is: the more this question pops up, the longer it will take.
