ToLiss has today, as promised earlier this month through their social network profiles, released the highly anticipated A321 NEO expansion for the already existing Airbus A321 rendition for X-Plane 11.
The expansion does not only feature two additional engine types (CFM Leap-1A33 & PW1130G-JM), but three subvariants of the A321 NEO family (NEO & LR & XLR) and three new exit configurations as well.
The expansion pack is not only enhancing the visuals, but as well accurately simulates the aircraft climb performance, fuel burn, and adapts the aircraft systems to the new engine functionalities. Not to forget, each engine type has its custom sound set.
The expansion can be purchased through the X-Plane.org Store for a modest price of approximately €24.70 ($29.99). Keep in mind, that the expansion requires the ToLiss A321 to be installed on the system in order to work. That can be purchased through the X-Plane.org Store for approximately €65 ($79).
The installation of the expansion is very straightforward as you only need to replace the aircraft files with the new ones and activate the expansion through the ISCC window. No aircraft reload is required.
