FlightFactor Further Improves A320 Performance

FlightFactor has released a performance update for their A320 for X-Plane 11. The update promises to deliver more FPS to the A320.

Known for the high system requirements, FlightFactor’s A320 simulation for X-Plane 11 received a new update today focusing on improving the end-user experience.

The new version 1.2.7 of the aircraft, still in BETA, comes with serious optimization steps for the better overall performance of the addon. The developers have also focused on the EFB by reworking some of the assets to achieve better performance while browsing through the interface.

Thus, users should have easier life while using the addon even on slower systems.
