Hi all,

We're today releasing the A320 v2.1 for Flight Simulator 9. The FSX version might come at a later time.

The A320 has been updated as follows:
  • Applied custom engine fan animations. Added windmilling.
  • Applied the custom tailhook animation so the cargo doors open slower.
  • Changed the exit assignments to the A321 config.
  • Applied the new antenna hiding method.
  • Fixed a smoothing issue near the cockpit windows.
  • Improved the specular shine.
  • Added wingflex.
  • Added a missing antenna just ahead of the v-stab.
  • Replaced the CFM and IAE engines with the improved A321 versions.
  • Replaced the flap fairings with the more accurate A321 versions.
  • Added hardcoded doublestrobes.
  • Applied the new surface droop code.
  • Updated the pilot models in the cockpit.
  • Tweaked the APU shape at the rear.
  • Applied the custom nose gear steering code.
  • Added windshield wiper objects (unanimated).
  • Removed the jetheat effect entirely.
  • Added hardcoded double strobe and beacon sequences.

Open it in WinZip or Winrar or 7-zip :)

My own little problem: Installed liveries for the 232 and 214, put them all in right places, but none of the new models show up in FS9? The only "A320" In sight in the PA Manufacturer tab is the old version :?

The model even works great on FSX. I got 35-41 FPS
I love the wingflex. You can tell the amount of wingflex in fsx because the fsx native lights stay in position while the wings go up :)
Great work guys! I cant wait for the FSX model (assuming)

Great. Makes the huge FSX community ecstatic. Please don't say I am not grateful, because I truly am. This is a great leap forward in the long lasting A320 series by PA that I hope continues with the NEO and sharklets. I hope that statement translates to "The FSX version WILL come, but it mite take some time".

First of all, THANK YOU so much! I took it out for a spin and am highly impressed! I am especially grateful that you guys were able to recreate the proper sequence of beacons and strobes. That totally put the icing on the cake for me. (Now, if that can be done for the A321....wink wink) Humor aside, I came across one small issue (and it might just be a texture or "it's just me" issue): on the jetBlue repaints, there's no SATCOMM dome on top of the fuselage. Is there a texture missing or have I done something wrong? I noticed that it was there in your previews, so I'm hoping it's just something I may have left out. Any help would be appreciated. Again, thanks for your hard work PA!

George

Hiya esg, thank you very much! I suppose I should've tested all of them before jumping the gun there. You're very right; the jetBlue repaints that came with the release show the SATCOMM dome once the sim starts. There were some jetBlue liveries that were released by a third party recently (covering some of the later schemes), and it was on those textures that the dome didn't show. The weird part about that is that they did, indeed, show on the previous model. I will contact the painter about it. Cheers!

Add 'SATV' to the title in the Aircraft cfg (without the inverted commas), should do it

Thanks for the advice, esg! Solution worked for me. Having now transferred all my liveries from previous downloads, I think I'm all set! Thanks again, guys! You've managed to out-do yourselves yet again. Cheers,

Any chance someone can convert this to a .zip file and upload? My WinZip doesn't recognize the 7z either, and I'd like to avoid having to install 7z just for one file.

Thanks.

Thank you so much for that. Now my PA Airbus fleet is complete ;). I can't say how thankful I am.

But 2 things I have to ask 'cause i don't understand it.

1. In JetBlue series i have to write SATV in the title. but where? here my entries:

[fltsim.0] //REQUIRES iae_200 MODEL
title=Project Airbus - Airbus A320-232 - JetBlue Airways 'N519JB'
sim=pa320-v2527

2. I can't see the new antenna close to the Tail/Fin.

For some reason I'm having an issue with adding the SATV ANT3 IAE addition to the model. Everytime I go and load the plane when using repaints that didn't come with ur basepack FS9 crashes right when it gets to 100%....

I am confussed with the installation. I have 4 folders Project Airbus A320 V2.1, Project Airbus A320-111, Project Airbus A320-214, and Project Airbus A320-232. Now when I install the liveries they are going in the folder that IS NOT Project Airbus A320 V2.1. Is that right?

Do I need to move the folders in the Project Airbus A320 V2.1 to the other PA folders? I need some help. I need some simplified instructions! LoL

How do you ask for support for fsx when the title specifically says that it's FS9. Also, you posted in the wrong forum dude.

Congratulations, PA! It may be released, but I have to wait until August to try it.

Now how about that diesel powered A340 your promised us that day in April? :lol:

It appears to be in a 7z file. Where can I get software that can read that format so I can use the paintkit? Thank you in advance.

prob depends on whether you have acceleration or not. Can't wait for the FSX version and I hope the fsx version doesn't get pushed aside and "forgotten about" alike the a380 VC
