ToLiss has dropped the latest update for their original aircraft, the Airbus A319. The update, detailed by the developer only just over a week ago, brings many new realism enhancements to the aircraft and simulation.

Major new features of the update include custom waypoint support, GLS approaches and a completely new and revamped bleed air system.

This update to the A319 is also to make its way to the A321 in the near future with the developer writing:

“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.”

Here’s the full changelog:

Major new features:

• Pilot item database allowing the creation and storage of custom waypoints, including associated page reconfigurations on DIR TO, FPLN, RAD NAV page etc.
• Bleed system upgrade to a quantitative bleed model affecting fuel consumption and take-off thrust
• Support for LDA, IGS, Localizer Back course and GLS approaches
• Complete rework of the PERF pages to add EO mode information as well as climb/descent predictions to a given altitude
• Rework of the PROG page to include EO mode information including an indication of OEI gross ceiling and predictive GPS function

Minor new features:

• When flying the IAE engine, the EWD now properly supports revision to N1 Mode
• TO performance calculator also determines whether packs need to be ON or OFF for the take-off.
• Complete redo of the SD pages ENG, BLEED, PRESS, and F/CTL for better representational accuracy
• FPLN page rework: Constraints are now shown prior to filing the INIT B page.
• FPLN page additional information: The Final approach slope is now shown
• Improved the lateral-directional handling qualities in manual flight
• Changes to altitude and speed constraints of the active flight plan create a TEMPY flight plan.
• Added RAT and outflow valve to the external 3d model

Bug fixes:

• Corrected PFD speed bug location during Go Around
• Prevented waypoint sequencing when flying in HDG mode in the opposite direction of FMS path at current TO waypoint
• Fixed ILS indication location on PFD
• Improved AP vertical target tracking when flying with high Angles of Attack
• Fine-tuning of the graphical representation in the EWD.
• Speed target for flap 3 landings is back to VAPP
• Waypoints can now be added at end of FPLN directly on the FPLN A page.
• Fixed issues with ground rolling and flap extension sounds
• Preventing engagement of both APs for a non-precision approach.
• Various small bug fixes
