I see the Fly by Wire project have confirmed that the A32NX and A380X won't be coming to Xbox Series X; thats a blow as the default A320 is fairly dire in comparison.

I'm gutted about this but it doesn't surprise me tbh. It already feels like console players will get the worse end of the deal when it comes to third party dev's. PMDG are bringing out a Boeing 777 next year, that's PC only, too from what I understand. I really enjoy flying the A320 default, though after watching videos on YouTube of the FBW 320 we're really missing out.
At this moment in time it really feels like a cash grab when it comes to console, get people to pick up the game then shaft them in the future.
Its a shame; over on the MSFS forum there's a very dismissive attitude to those folk playing this on an Xbox; I think its a great feeder route for getting people into Flight Simming in general and this in particular especially given the perfomance on a console thats only £450 (v spending upwards of £1000 easy to get it running nicely on a PC)
It really feels like a "them and us" attitude when it comes to PC/Console players (nowt new there). Maybe one day we'll get some decent 3rd party aircraft as currently I'm only really interested in the A230N & 748, the delayed Junkers JU-52 doesn't interest me one bit.
We've got a 737 & 777 on the marketplace but from what I understand they're pretty rubbish, saying that, the 787 which came with the game isn't great either, plus the upgrade price put's me right off...
