For the record: I don't agree with FSLabs' previous conduct. This video is, however, an objective review of the addon, for those who are interested in / considering purchasing the product. Merry Christmas, everyone!
I will never again purchase an FSLabs product, having seen firsthand the questionable tactics they employed in the past. Beyond these unethical practices, their offerings have arrived disappointingly late to the market and lack any compelling justification for renewed attention. By contrast, Fenix has been a paragon of excellence, blending an exceptional price point with an earnest commitment to customer satisfaction-treating users as valued contributors rather than mere consumers. This transparent, consumer-focused philosophy not only demonstrates Fenix’s respect for the broader community, but also highlights precisely why their approach stands head and shoulders above FSLabs. When a company operates with both integrity and innovation, as Fenix does, it inspires enduring loyalty and sets the gold standard for flight simulation products.
I also do not agree with their previous conduct but can i just say what a joy it is when a properly quality addon is used by someone who really knows what they are talking about. This was an absolutely first class video! Further to that thank you for all the videos you have put out this year. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
Great review (as usual ITB) I can't help being reminded of that framerate - I never could improve it with the FSL for P3D. It's a miss from me anyway as I'm now 100% Fenix but I know this will be go for many FSL fans to enjoy. Merry X-mas.
The cabin is actually modelled. it's just not modelled with the cockpit view. but if you go with the showcam into the cabin you see the cabin and it's quite good modelled as well. but they said they're gonna also update the cabin also in the cockpit view so you can set up custom cameras.
Can I just film a POV video of my day and let you narrate it? It's so relaxing! "Little dead zone there as he pours his coffee but overall tolerable for this sort of maneuver."
Watching the video as I like your content, sir. But I won't be getting this, personally. One, I have Fenix. And secondly, FS Labs well documented past, coupled with their complete lack of remorse and accountability for what they did. Hard no, from me, I don't care how good it is. It's about principles.
@PluckyUnderdog Basically, what they said is "I don't care if companies screw me over, I'll always bend backwards to support them". Of course, they're free to support a company that knowingly and TWICE, decided it was cool to install malware in customers' PCs.
I don't get it, the Fenix has all those features apart from the service history and wear (which is planned). You can do failures, there's an MEL in the EFB etc etc.
For the same price, I can get the Fenix A320 OR the a319/21 bundle. The whole P3D A320 bundle cost nearly triple what the Fenix bundle cost, and I loved the FSlabs on P3D. But Fenix made a better aircraft for less in my opinion. If FSLabs were smart they would have gone for the NEO, the FBW is a solid addon, but it's obviously an upgrade to the default a320NEO. There is no true study level Neo in the sim, and FSlabs should have tapped into that market before Fenix decides to
FSLabs just lost a sale. I already own the Fenix A320 and was about to buy the Fenix A321 Expansion. Hearing about the positive FSLabs A321, I was so close to handing my money over. But while the FSLabs A321 may be considered better, I need not just features but long-term security and support. I trust Fenix and PMDG while FSLabs still need to prove they have changed.
So nice to see FSLabs back in the sim. I had the full package on P3D and loved how in depth they were. Right down to simulating a bird flying into a chosen engine. However, unfortunately I'm so invested into the Fenix now, I just cant justify the switch.
Great video! Interesting to see the failure simulations added to the Airbus by FSLabs. Nonetheless I think a lot of people would opt for the Fenix as it is a solid offiering, amongst many other reasons. Wouldn't be surprised if FSLabs decide to sell their more-desired, rumoured a321neo as an extension on top of the a321ceo. That way people would still have to buy the ceo in order to get the Neo. We'll see.
The takeoff date v-speeds are so high with the fslabs for improved climb performance. I wish they would get a setting to select it or std-speeds like the simbrief performance. Very sceptical to fslabs. Expensive, poor service/support and generally a bad track record. I have not tried the fenix as well, but so i cant really compare
Are those default clouds you are using? They look really good compared to mine, which appears more like a giant ball of fluffs (sometimes pixelated too) than detailed cumulus clouds. Should I get REX and which product would you recommend?
Thank you for this excellent and well considered review Captain. I can't believe you get armchair flyers doubting your own views on 'realism', internet being internet. Another fantastic years worth of content, Merry Christmas to you and yours, ITBS, clear skies!
Toliss and Fenix feel very much alike whereas FSL’s is a totally different animal. Being so different, one can only assume either FSLABS or Fenix dynamics are utterly wrong. Question is, which one? . That on rails feeling, albeit WEIRD , has been pointed out by some as the real deal. I just wish more real pilots would provide feedback and weigh in.
Hey, Where is EO profile in the FMGC? Where is the clear EO option? where is drift down Altitude? where is the EO rec max? Neither FSlabs nor fenix is able to correctly simulate an ENG Fail!! So For me its no go !
The only way you can access the rather basic cabin is through drone camera which is completely pointless, as you can’t save any custom wing views because of this.
It’s a shame you didn’t demonstrate the ATSU at all which is an absolute game changer, that and it’s GSX integration is hands down the best I’ve ever seen on any simulator
Have an awesome holiday break, and thanks for all your effort through 2024, and I look forward to more great content in 2025. Sadly I too wont be purchasing as their actions in the past are egregious in the extreme. Pitty it looks a decent aircraft, but the risk is too great. Trust easily lost, almost impossible to recover.
I'm loving this addon. Have flown about 12 flights since buying upon release. Some small bugs but FS Labs are taking note of all bugs that people are finding on their forums. It's even better than the P3D version, which I'm still enjoying to this day.
Do you know if this flying gold-nugget will also be released for Flight Sim 2020? I cannot use FS2024 because of internet speed limitations and because they keep insisting on this "game-stream" nonsense, so of course I want that awesome new Fenix-killer for my good old FS2020! Do you think the FS Labs will become the promised Airbus overlord and the new saviour of Airbus simulation? If you have the chance to launch this Airbus or the Fenix Airbus, which one would you choose for more personal flight simming fun? Which one feels more awesome and realistic?
Hi Julia, The addon is currently *only* available in MSFS 2020 (though, I gather the upgrade to 2024 will be free, once FSLabs have things figured out in the new sim ; ) It's honestly very difficult to pick the Fenix / FSLabs offerings apart. I think the FSLabs version is arguably a bit more in-depth (with the tech log etc) but, I reckon in most other respects, the Fenix is still the more polished addon. If I could only choose one, I think I would go with the Fenix; I (marginally) prefer how it flies, the addon is better value for money and Fenix are an exemplary dev, in terms of their conduct etc (and I believe, should therefore be rewarded accordingly). I hope that helps. All the best! : )
Grreat video! FSLabs seem to have made a good product but outside of the icing effects, tech log, and other attempts to stand out like these it's the same depth you're getting from Fenix for way more money. Also their previous conduct means regardless of what they achieved with this release I don't think anyone should buy it. Defending a company sending out malware is hilariously stupid by some people in these comments.
The sheer lack of YT videos and reviews of this plane show what a flop its release was. I have no doubt it’s a nice plane but like so many others I am happy with my Fenix busses. Releasing this without a cabin, radar, worse textures and modeling than Fenix and asking $70 for it was obviously a miss. I love the competition in the market and hope they continue with further releases that the community wants like the NEO but this obviously missed the mark.
It has a cabin, and better textures than the Fenix, better flight model than the Fenix. Radar cannot be implemented due to Asobo not making the weather API available.
@ flight model - yes, visual model and texturing - no They could still implement the 2D radar like PMDG, FSS and other devs. Something is better than absolutely nothing. Anyone saying otherwise is simping.
As a real world Airbus pilot I'm surprised to hear you say it feels like it's "on rails", given that the real Airbus flies extremely digitally and can itself feel like it's "on rails". Anyway, nice review.
That’s fine. Your loss. This is an absolute masterpiece. It would be good to forgive them and let’s move on. Nobody was harmed and they caught a thief. No biggie
Correction, they attacked people who stole their product. Not customers. I guess you're the same type of people who sue because you cut your arm breaking into someone's house.
There is nothing here that impresses me in the slightest. The MEL stuff is cool and all but I’m sure Fenix will get there eventually. While FSL has been busy porting over one variant taking four years, Fenix has been busy getting us all A320 family variants after all. Beside the MEL stuff and documentation, Fenix looks far superior. FSL models and textures also look embarrassingly bad and the flight model looks to be isolated from the world around it. Airbus is indeed flybywire but it’s not above the law of physics. The flight model implementation looks very basic and reminiscent of P3D rail physics. Besides that I find it a bit questionable that you gave a company with this track record a platform. Are they worthy? Not in my book.
Two things. First, any keyboard warrior who disparages actual RW pilots is a moron. Second, if you do succeed in opening the flight deck door, the aircraft formats your ‘C’ drive… Oh c’mon, give me a break it’s Christmas. Anyway, it’s a shame that a seemingly half decent product is hamstrung by history. Can understand folks not wanting to go anywhere near this because of it. From my side I’m Fenix all day long (tried and tested) and FSLabs are just too late to the party but that aside, as somebody involved in software development, PCI and finance, I’d not go anywhere near them. It’s beyond my comprehension to switch off my work laptop, turn to my private flight sim PC and then install software from them. Principles I guess.
There is definitely a cabin, and there has been since release. Re the flight model, I would only agree about the nose wheel steering, it did appear to have a dead zone, but that has been improved with today's update. It's interesting to hear you note the subjective opinion of RW pilots, and that you say the aircraft feels like it flies on rails, as a number of RW Airbus pilots have made the point that yes, it feels like it's on rails, just like the real A320 and A321. I definitely prefer this over the Fenix, and it's not close. I feel that some people are using the internet popularity contest, and echoing the anti FS Labs sentiment, so a fair judgement is hard for them to make. Furthermore, FS Labs "previous conduct" does not even deserve a mention, so I'm not sure why people are so hung up on it after so many years, particularly as no laws were broken.
calling it 'Fenix killer' is way over the top. it is the other way around. Fenix is rather the fslabs killer. their so called 'depth of simulation' compared to Fenix will go unnoticed by the vast majority of simmers. Fenix is featured packed, and 3 years after owning Fenix (all their offerings), I still get a thrill any day I fly any of their airbuses. FS labs should have offered what is not on offered already: the A330, perhaps the A350 (here they had better hurry up, inibuilds have an A350 in development!). Judging by inibuilds A300/310, their A350 could be a blast. plus FS labs is overpriced IMHO, just like PMDG!
Find it sad that people can't let go of the past. Always saying "Well FSLabs bad because malware" when they have NOT tried the product. Did the malware affect you, it was to stop pirating iirc.
@@gordo1163 I am not defending them. However, you fail to actually argue against any of my arguments further proving my point. Did it affect you in any way? If so, how? Was it negative or positive from your perspective? What do you actually think is wrong with installing malware to combat pirating?
@@Chickennuggetman2839 It's a decision based purely on Ethics and the consumer is entitled to make a decision based on the company's ethics regardless of the product offered. You may not agree with that but I don't see any justification of someone installing malware on a consumers PC for the purposes of combating piracy. The ends do not justify the means and other methods could have been found to protect the product. You may be ok with that type of behavior but i personally am not. FSLabs would have to put out a statement stating that they no longer condone or allow that practice and acknowledge that they were wrong in doing it for me to purchase anything from them. If i cant trust the dev why would i purchase from them ?
@@jamiegrant7973 It's not a decision based purely on ethics. Installing malware is an illegal act, so is pirating. Essentially they tried beating illegal acts with an illegal act. If this was a question based on ethics you would not use UA-cam, Google or any major social media platform for that matter, as they collect and often sell your data, which you accepted to.
People that rushed into buying the Fenix because they couldn't wait for the FS Labs are practically the same as those who bought Captain Sim trash because they couldn't wait for PMDG. Fenix quality isn't even close to FS Labs. As for this influencer rating the Fenix flight model over the FS Labs, well, now I know he's not a RW pilot. People get away with saying anything on UA-cam.

The nose wheel steering and rudder can work independently without having the NWS disconnect option enabled. Just need two axes set up in msfs

wtf
cockpit looks straight up ported from p3d
Are you actually blind?
What it looks no different.

SO many Fenix simps. Could've guess by the tone of the video. Unsubscribed.
It's not an airport no need to announce departure.

Find it sad that people can't let go of the past. Always saying "Well FSLabs bad because malware" when they have NOT tried the product. Did the malware affect you, it was to stop pirating iirc.
Imagine defending a company that installed malware onto customers computers.
@@gordo1163 I am not defending them. However, you fail to actually argue against any of my arguments further proving my point. Did it affect you in any way? If so, how? Was it negative or positive from your perspective? What do you actually think is wrong with installing malware to combat pirating?
@@Chickennuggetman2839 It's a decision based purely on Ethics and the consumer is entitled to make a decision based on the company's ethics regardless of the product offered. You may not agree with that but I don't see any justification of someone installing malware on a consumers PC for the purposes of combating piracy. The ends do not justify the means and other methods could have been found to protect the product. You may be ok with that type of behavior but i personally am not. FSLabs would have to put out a statement stating that they no longer condone or allow that practice and acknowledge that they were wrong in doing it for me to purchase anything from them. If i cant trust the dev why would i purchase from them ?
@@Chickennuggetman2839 You have to remember what happened back in FSX when people people pirated the PMDG MD11 basically nuking the sim. Same person.
@@jamiegrant7973 It's not a decision based purely on ethics. Installing malware is an illegal act, so is pirating. Essentially they tried beating illegal acts with an illegal act. If this was a question based on ethics you would not use UA-cam, Google or any major social media platform for that matter, as they collect and often sell your data, which you accepted to.
People that rushed into buying the Fenix because they couldn't wait for the FS Labs are practically the same as those who bought Captain Sim trash because they couldn't wait for PMDG. Fenix quality isn't even close to FS Labs. As for this influencer rating the Fenix flight model over the FS Labs, well, now I know he's not a RW pilot. People get away with saying anything on UA-cam.

HAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAA What a joker
You're kidding right?
nah I ain't falling for this bait
Are you on the FSL payroll? You realise ITB is a RW airbus pilot right?
Fenix = no malware
Fslabs = test.exe
