someone better paint D-AIRX if it is indeed an A321

Now I shall patiently wait for an A346. I can't stress enough how badly a replacement is needed for that which is FS9 compatible

Before you finally say what it is:Can you post another teaser?
It's very funny to guess!

Post by **esg** » 02 Nov 2010, 19:43

Right, last one. Should be obvious by now

FLYPHOENIX · Post by **FLYPHOENIX** » 02 Nov 2010, 19:48

(sigh of relife) A321

Show the full thing now? pleeeeeeease?- see that i asked nicely (now you have no choice

bahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!)

SIMILAR TO A319/20 engines- SAME CFM56-5B and IAE v2500's pylons, HERE YOU SEE?

Can't wait for another successful PA design. Keep it up fellas!

A321flyer · Post by **A321flyer** » 02 Nov 2010, 22:18

well well, its finally decided: The A321, i always knew that it would be the next model, and the A32X family is finally completed.

i expect a great model from PA, by any chance, will this have a VC?(for merging with the wilco panel)

FLYPHOENIX · Post by **FLYPHOENIX** » 02 Nov 2010, 22:45

1 thing, when you make the A321 please, cos this is something that i notice (aside from wingflex) the spoilers on the a32x series are curved like so... Pardon my OCD

So all in all, i think we have a conclusion...

A321 IAE v2500's
A32x series IAE and CFM pylons.

Screenshot?

BTW GREAT JOB GUYS, i didn't expect a new model so soon! :mrgreen:

Great news - An A321 will be very nice PA!

I'm sure if it's as good as your previous offerings it will be well received by the flightsim community.

If you don't have it already here is the list of A32x operators from Wikipedia

dotsalgon · Post by **dotsalgon** » 03 Nov 2010, 16:23

Congraaatz to PA!!

You guys are the best!!

I hope though it won't take 2 years as the A380 : P

About the Wikipedia link I hope someone correct it.. Olympic Airlines never had Airbus A319/320 it only had A300s and A340s.
Olympic Air on the other hand does own A319s and A320s but it is a totally different Airline.
Thanks

FLYPHOENIX · Post by **FLYPHOENIX** » 03 Nov 2010, 18:17

so, esg, do we have a screenshot?
sorry bout my consistency- but when pairbus gets a new model we turn into kids at christmas!

sknepper · Post by **sknepper** » 04 Nov 2010, 21:12

If I may have it a guess, the evidence does point to an A340-300

The shape of the engine cowlings does give me a clue. Anyway, whatever it is, it will certainly be a great bit of fantastically mastered PAirbus freeware done by enthousiasts for enthousiasts.

Look at the engine textures on the side. They don't show the petal-like thrust reversers that one would see on an A342/A343

Gonna have to wait a bit longer for model previews I'm afraid. In the meantime...

I might just paint up a bit of those pictures myself for the hell of it. Hey at least it keeps me busy while waiting!

Obviouse! hahahaa :lol:

Can't for first images, preoccupied with GCSE MATHS exams monday and friday next week so-
but i check pairbus daily

Keep it up, if I may ask, what livery are you doing first?
wingflex?...

Curved spoilers?

Inbreker · Post by **Inbreker** » 06 Nov 2010, 21:58

FLYPHOENIX wrote:wingflex?...

Are you serious? I hope you're not cause wingflex on an Airbus A32x is just 20cm maximum. Thats pretty much invisible. And Airbus wings are rather stiff. IMHO it wouls be a wast of rescources and FPS.

FLYPHOENIX · Post by **FLYPHOENIX** » 06 Nov 2010, 22:38

I wont start a dispute, but yes, i am seriouse

I don't mean exaggerated like the a319, but it should be there for say, take off, even on the majority of my flights which are on A32X aircraft show wingflex!
Some do like and others don't care, but it adds to the experience!

http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-p ... 753356.jpg

You know what I mean, but i think that after all the previouse requests and queries into the A320PA wingflex, they will have take this into acount,

EITHER WAY, I KNOW IT WILL BE THE BEST (payware and freeware titles excluded) AIRBUS A321 FOR FS2004 AND FSX!!!

:mrgreen: TOM

Post by **Derek Mayer** » 06 Nov 2010, 23:38

Wing flex has been present since the A319, I don't know why you'd think it would be removed in this variant.

FLYPHOENIX · Post by **FLYPHOENIX** » 07 Nov 2010, 00:31

Thanks derek

Post by **esg** » 07 Nov 2010, 00:41

Furthermore, it's been adjusted and improved. The wings flex a tiny bit less now, shake in turbulence and respond to several new variables

I know I said "last one" before—

FSX model or no?

It's in the plans

fsxfan · Post by **fsxfan** » 07 Nov 2010, 12:56

YES!That means we could have a VC!
BTW:What would be an A380 without Wingflex?Wingflex ist very important for the exterior!

Is PA making a repaint of Aegean Airlines A321 or should I make one once the release??

It's tradition ever since the first world war that pilots, of whom most are men, call their plane a 'she'. Don't you remember those drawings on the planes during WWII? The names, the cartoons on the side of the bombers? They were mascots and mostly feminine because men (mostly) like women... Pilot's treated their plane like their love...
