ToLiss has today taken to their Facebok group to announce the release of a new update for their rendition of Airbus A319 for X-Plane 11. The update has been sent to the X-Updater and should appear in the stores within 24 hours.
Version 1.5.1 of the aircraft features completely reworked PFD and ND drawing, a completely reworked RAD NAV page, SmartCopilot support has been improved, and numerous bug fixes including fixed landing gear extension/retraction bug or corrected outside engine volume and propagation distance, for example. As usual, the complete changelog can be found below.
This is the first update to be released after the major update to version 1.5 has been released just a month ago.
ToLiss has also confirmed in the comment section under the Facebook post, that they are now looking into improving FMOD sounds in the Airbus A321 rendition. This update should come within a few weeks.
In order to update the aircraft, you will need to locate the aircraft files and run X-Updater. Java is required for this to work. You can also download the new files directly from the store. If you want to purchase the aircraft, you can do so via the X-Plane.org Store for $79.
