Released: FSLabs A320-X voor Prepar3D v4.1

Flightsimlabs heeft de update voor de A320-X vrijgegeven waarmee het toestel nu ook in Prepar3D v4.1 beschikbaar is. Deze update is gratis voor bestaande gebruikers. Er wordt nu gebruik gemaakt van 64 bits code, waardoor een aantal beperkingen nu tot het verleden behoren (o.a. geheugenlimiet op 4 GB). Voor de 32bits sims (FSX, FSX:SE en Prepar3D v3) zal later nog een service pack verschijnen.
