ToLiss A319 & A321 Updated, Now Vulkan Compatible

As promised in a post from yesterday, Giuliana Gennaro & co. at ToLiss have unveiled new updates for both of their Airbus aircraft, the A319 and A321.

Posted on the ToLiss community Facebook group, the developer said "it is with great pleasure that we can tell you that the Vulkan compatibility update for both aircraft is now available via the updater. This includes the long-promised FMGS update for the A319!"

"Naturally, the aircraft will still work under OpenGL, so you can run the latest version on XP10.5x, and XP11.3x or younger. Librain is a third party plugin integrated our product and for that to work with Vulkan we will have to wait until the librain has been updated."

A main part of the A319's update today revolves around bringing the aircraft up to the standard seen in its sister craft, the A321. The changes are as follows:

  • Complete rework of the flight path computation backbone for more accurate competed path
  • Addition of the FIX INFO page
  • Addition of the SECONDARY FLIGHT PLAN
  • FMGS now supports temporary flight plans on ground, airways to airways intersection computation and lots more
  • Addition of standby compass and opening cockpit door.
  • Reorganization of the ISCS for more intuitive operation.
  • Addition of ToteDeMacs Textures as baseline

While that brings the A319 up to the newer A321's standard, both aircraft have seen additional features added in their respective updates to further boost past this level. Additionally, a large number of bugs have been patched in these updates - these are not listed.

Features new to both aircraft are:

  • Rework of PFD colours and Landing system symbology
  • Added a warning, if experimental flight model is on, to ensure you switch it off and get the right performance
  • Adapted aircraft to allow sounds and ground vehicles when using XP11.50 Vulkan including frame rate improvements
  • Pause at T/D now stops one minute before reaching the T/D.
  • Smoother FD and AP behaviour in managed descent.
  • Sound balancing rework
  • Performance rework at high altitude
  • Rework of the EPR value computation for the IAE engines
  • FMGS now supports runways with two different ILSses and selects the appropriate one according to the FINAL data
  • FMGS now supports computing the intersection between two airways when entering subsequent airway IDs
  • ISCS TO performance calculator can now be forced to use TOGA thrust.

According to the developer, both updates are now live on the X-Updater file. Alternatively, you can download the A319 update from the store of purchase, though the A321 does not appear to be updated at time of writing.

The ToLiss A319 is available for $69.00 USD, or the A321 for $79.00 USD here.
