Aircraft and Avionics Update 3 is now available as a free download for all Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) players! This update enhances three aircraft, the Airbus A320neo V2, Airbus A310-33, and Pilatus PC-6 Porter.
If you are playing on PC, outdated packages in your community folder may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behavior. If you suffer from stability issues or long loading times, move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title. How to install a new update safely

- Fixed – When you are below MDA for example LFMN RNAV 04L with MDA of 2000ft the AP should disconnect MDA -50ft. which is currently working correctly. But if want to put the AP back in you can so for example if you go around and press the AP in then it will work. So it’s just the one disconnect not forcing the AP to not work.

- Fixed – [FI-FI] Missing LOC for “REFERENCE RWY IN BRG/DIST FIELD” in the checklist.
- Fixed – External Power Button Not Making Sounds.
- Fixed – [ENG] IDLE engine N1 not correct this is why at higher FLs it gets off path so much idle shown in sim around 55% but should be 41% N1 might have been a bad table export.
- Fixed – Jetway is misaligned.
- Fixed – Dome Lights do not emit any light.
- Fixed – Regression] Nav/logo lights do not turn off when using the “Toggle Lights” keybind.

- Fixed – [Radial In] When you have put a Radial in current not showing any offset on the ND it should show L or R of the current track at the moment it shows nothing.
- Fixed – [Radial in] When you have a Radial in ND shows 2671 miles at the TO point.
- Fixed – [Radial in] After doing the radial in and flying the approach in heading then following the ILS the waypoints should sequence still otherwise when you go around the waypoints are behind you are will not go into NAV.
- Fixed – Pink cockpit textures with enhanced build.
- Fixed – EFOB for T/C T/D + DECEL is wrong.
- Fixed – Pulling speed in APPR mode behaviour.
