ToLiss Shares Information on Upcoming A319 and A321 Updates

ToLiss has taken to the X-Plane.org Forums to share a new feature list for their A319. The update is set to first be released for the A319 and then the same changes will follow on to the A321. 

The main changes to be brought with the update include new performance calculator refinements, an upgrade to the bleed air system and a rework of the PERF pages.

ToLiss’ A319 was the developer's first product to be released for X-Plane, back in the first half of 2018. Since the release of their A319, the developer also worked on an A321, which was subsequently released in late February 2020. 

The developer is also working on their new A340 model, the latest previews of the project were shared in February 2020 with new cockpit previews shared.

Only the changelog for the A319 has been shared so far but the developer did state:

“Once the A319 V1.6 is released, we will incorporate the same changes in the A321 and A321 NEO (with a couple of undisclosed NEO specific additions) for V1.3 of those products.”
