Please make sure that if you're updating from a previous installation that you delete the old files from your community folder, and then extract / copy the updated ones back in there. Do NOT Overwrite
!! A genuine copy of LVFR A321neo is needed for this mod to work !! This mod works independently from FBW but install FlyByWire Simbridge from the FBW Installer.

Nice mod, would be great to somehow be able to always have the latest fbw exp version with it though, as its very out of date now, and so much has been added to the fbw exp in that time.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

Read the description. You need to own the lvfr AIRBUS.

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.

I don't think FSFO will set up the FMC in any version, be it Airbus or Boeing.
failuretoreport 25 day(s) ago
What do you mean? FSFO programs the FMC/FMS in the PMDG 737, FBW a320 and Headwind a330?

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.
Horizon_Sim 1 month(s) ago
Hey there,
251 and 271 are actually just the codes for the different engine variants and the only difference that there would be really is that the PW engines would need to be slightly larger in diameter (something that would not be noticeable really when looking at the aircraft) also the only people that can really do anything about the actual model are LVFR themselves, as the model at the end of the day is their product, we just make the integration of FBW systems to it, regarding the sounds the issue we had was the following.
When combining the PW sounds from LVFR with the FBW system sounds some functionality got lost. Like GPWS callouts (quite important lets face it) so we went with the lesser of two evils and used the CFM LEAP sounds from FBW on all variants.
We're thinking of making an in-house soundset just like we did for the A319 for the PW variant, but we don't have enough samples to make it a truly great quality sound stage for the time being.
Rest assured though it is on the list of plans we have for the A321neo in the future.

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.

Hey there,
That is on the list for the next update, thanks to Nico from New Lights.

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?
Horizon_Sim 2 month(s) ago
Hi there,
Thanks for the comment. For now we're evaluating the latest experimental version from FBW to update all of our Airbus mods with. These may or may not make the next update, as there are quite a few files to be modified and then tailor to our needs.
For the time being we were also focusing a lot on the flight model improvements for all of the aircraft in question. So that we can make the A318, A319, and the A21N unique in its handling characteristics.

Sounds great. Currently the performance fixes are only in the dev version of the A32x.

When i download it, it downloads as a windows media player file. how do i change it to the correct file format? thanks.
Horizon_Sim 2 month(s) ago
The file downloads as a .7z if I remember correctly.
Either have 7Zip, or WinRar Installed and you're good to go.
