Welcome to the third installment of The Workshop – a series dedicated to the latest news and updates regarding FlyByWire’s work on the A32NX and upcoming A380. The first and second episode can be read here. The Workshop is written directly by the FlyByWire team within the FSNews and FlyByWire partnership.
MSFS Update
After the major simulator update last week, we quickly became aware of a serious bug with the A32NX autopilot system. The Community, our development team, and our QA team worked hard to investigate the issue, and our findings were then communicated to Asobo, who had come to the same conclusion as us and thus provided a temporary fix that had been tested on their end. You can find this fix in the latest development version of the aircraft, as well as stable release 0.4.2. We thank you for your patience.
