Thank you for alerting us to this great mod. I love the versatility of this little plane but the lack of an autopilot is definitely a bummer. Looks like this has been addressed with this mod. While on the subject of planes and wish lists, what I really would like to see at this point is a Cirrus Vision SF50 Jet. I have flown this plane in X-Plane and it is a lot of fun. I am surprised that Microsoft left it out and also that there isn't one available from a third party. I would have thought that it would be the first plane addon offered.
Great video and exactly what I'm looking for. I love the icon A5 but really want an autopilot. I'm lucky, because I have the logitech/saitek radio and multi panels, so will be able to do everything from those, with luck :) Subscribed :))
Thanks again. I installed the mod and it is great. The addition of the Auto Pilot is huge. I didn't do an exhaustive test but at first glance I don't think I took an FPS hit. What has your experience been? Also, the stock avionics had the ability to select "nearest to" airports and project a red line on the map. I can't seem to find this function on the new G3X. You did mention that it is not fully functional. Is this one of the functions that didn't make the cut? Do you know if the developer will eventually add more features to this G3X?
You're welcome. Yes, I don't think the nearest function is in yet and I have no clue if they plan to add it there, it's really up to the developers behind this A5 to get this in, it already works on the G3X if you check the XCub
This mod no longer works with the latest updates of MSFS. The creator also has seemed to abandon the mod. So we are out of luck. I hear it has a lot of unrealistic issues such as idle speed etc. Bummer.
Is the performance mod realistic? Do they offer a better performing A5. I think a lot of the A5 accidents are caused by it's lower power which can get you in trouble if you fly too low near hills or in canyons.
I’m a bit confused about the G3X mod. Your link takes me to a download for a file called cj4-Vo.10 and at the bottom of the page there is a link to g3 (not g3x) which it seems is a fix for g3x which I was looking for via your link, can’t seem to find the G3X mod that I’m supposed to install. To be fair the IconA5 mod also says I need the G3x mod but doesn’t tell me where to get it from. So, am I looking in the wrong place or misreading something?
It says "fixes and enhancements for the stock g3x", it's not just fixes, that's the g3x you want. Just go to that link and scroll all the way down, look for g3x (in case you can't find it github.com/Working-Title-MSFS-Mods/fspackages/releases/tag/gx-v0.1.0-dev5, they keep all their mods under the same github, it's a bit confusing. Just check that github in the future, this might not be the most up to date version, so that's why I link the main repository instead of the current version, otherwise people would be downloading outdated mods in the future
No. You just have to move the right folder into your community folder. The community folder location depends on whether you own MSFS on Steam or the MS Store
@@Byemoonmen Thanks! One more question...in the link you provided, it says that I'll need the Working Title GX mod. If I just install the WT mod, will that work? What does the mod in your link provide over and above the WT mod?
You're gonna need both the working title g3x and either one of those for the g3x to work. Those mods modify the A5 to have the g3x, since that's an option IRL as far as I know The working title g3x by itself won't work on the A5.
Thanks so much for covering our mod, hope you’re enjoying it :)
Thanks for the great mod!

I'd love to have that plane on MSFS! I'm hopeful one of the wonderful developers will pick it up eventually.

@@Byemoonmen Thank you for that. BTW, did you notice any change in the FPS when using this mod?
I didn't notice any FPS hits with either the A5 or the G3X

It handles better than the default A5

@@Byemoonmen Thanks for clarifying. 👍.. Your link in your reply is 404 🤣 nvm. I understand what I need to do now.
Thanks for letting me know, there was an extra ) at the end of the link 😂 it's working now
Does that plane have a landing gear too?
Yes, it does have a landing gear
I install the mod in the community folder but it does not update my default
Have you installed the GX mod as well?
I think it is no longer working, is it?
I looked at it and it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while.
This one is still getting updates: th-cam.com/video/Xbi7rf6uvHA/w-d-xo.html
@@Byemoonmen Thanks
Have you a video of installation of this?
No. You just have to move the right folder into your community folder. The community folder location depends on whether you own MSFS on Steam or the MS Store
Is it possible to install the g3x mod without the performance mod?
If you don't want the extra performance, you can try this mod flightsim.to/file/6897/icon-a5-upgraded-g3x-avionics-autopilot-mod
