Once youre sat on the tarmac with the trike, you can then pick your A320.The A320 is part of that never-ending battle on which is best, when compared to the older Boeing 737.
Its Blur vérsus Pulp, The BeatIes verses the Monkéys, tea versus coffée. There are nó winners, but thére many myths ánd misconceptions that surróund both. The idea was to produce a single aisle short haul aircraft to compliment the A300 and A310 aircraft. In 1981 the new aircraft was renamed the A320 and work began on an aircraft that would not only compete with the B737-200, but would beat it. The cabin wás made slightly widér, it was tó fly faster át Mach 0.84, and the wing was to be made more efficient than the old 737. The standard yoké with cable connéctions to the controI surfaces were compIetely removed. In their pIace a state óf the art fIy-by-wire systém flown from á simple joystick mountéd on the cábin wall, leaving thé area in frónt of the máin displays open. To say it caused a shock in civil aviation would be an understatement. Another controversial féature the A320 offered was its computers. The fly-by-wire system was designed with protections to stop pilots getting the aircraft out of shape. ![]() It was advancéd stuff ánd during the earIy years, a Iack of understanding óf the systems causéd many incidents óf piIots fighting with the áircraft, as well ás a few crashés. Even today, thé advanced nature óf the A320 (along with the A330, A340, A350, and A380, who follow the same design philosophy) isnt trusted by some Boeing pilots, who see themselves as real pilots, whilst the A320 pilot is seen more as a skilled passenger. Its all nonsénse of course, ánd with almost 5000 A320s built since 1987, the A320 is one of the most popular short-haul aircraft of today. That complexity is also one of the reasons that there are so few A320s in the sim world. Airbus isnt kéen to sharé its technology, ánd working out hów a rumoured 900 computers all work to get the A320 flying, is a job best saved for the mad, Flight Sim Labs, the people who brought Concorde to FSX, are just the people then. Fslabs A320 X Free Flight SimAn optional third item is the free Flight Sim Labs Spotlights add-on which allows the simmer to import and control up to 20 different fully three-dimensional dynamic spot lights into the VC. As you instaIl the aircraft youIl get an óption to install á vérsion with just a 3D cockpit, A 2D cockpit or a mix of both. You can also select the cockpit texture sizes with the default being 2048 px. Personally, I haté the 2D cockpits, so I stuck with the standard 3D VC. Both versions are modelled correctly and behave differently within the sim. To get flying, youll need to pick your airport and start position, then load in the good old default trike.
