FSX Jet Blue Airbus A321

FSX Jet Blue Airbus A321. A repaint of the iFDG A321 in Jet Blue colors. Includes the IFDG model. By Colin Lowe.

The IFDG A321 REPAINT BY COLIN LOWE IN JET BLUE COLORS.

There is a choice of three tail's, in the texture folder you will see three files named.......
VStab, VStab2 and VStab3.

The one named VStab is the current tail, to use one of the others rename VStab to VStab1 then rename your new choice of tail VStab. You must restart FSX to see the changes.

Another thing when you take off the keyboard keys do not work, once in the air click the auto heading switch on then off this gives you manual control.

This aircraft has been tested for me in FSX (as I do not have FSX) I am told it works in FSX but if it does not do not contact me as I can do nothing about it.

TURN ON WORLD WRAP!

INTRODUCTION:

iFDG is proud to present the Airbus A321. The aircraft model includes
most of the standard features including animated control surfaces, wingviews, flaps, full lighting configuration, and highly detailed, reflective textures.

"The A321 accommodates 185 passengers in a two-class configuration over a range of up to 3,000nm/5,550km, and up to 220 passengers in a high-density configuration. It can be powered by CFM56-5 or IAE V2500 engines. The A321 is the largest member of the A320 Family. It offers the best seat-mile costs of any single-aisle aircraft and is even on a par with widebody efficiency, bringing a new dimension to profitability. Together or individually, the members of the A320 Family make up the world’s most profitable single-aisle family ever." - Description by Airbus, http://www.airbus.com

INSTALLATION:

- Extract the folder contained in the zip archive into your FS Aircraft folder. The aircraft will be located under the manufacturer "iFDG Airbus".

- Copy all files in the EFFECTS folder into your Flight Simulator EFFECTS folder.

- Go Fly!

DOOR OPERATION:

Shift+E+1 - Opens L1 door
Shift+E+2 - Opens other cabin doors
Tailhook - Opens cargo doors
Wingfold - Operate drooping control surfaces

FLAP VORTEX EFFECTS OPERATION

Use your Smoke System key. Note that the Eric Marciano A32X panel activates these effects automatically when appropriate.

NOTE: You must assign a keyboard command (Options -> Controls -> Assignments) for Tailhook and Wingfold! By default, Flight Simulator DOES NOT assign a command for these features.

OTHER NOTES:

The A321 is a LONG aircraft! BEWARE OF TAILSTRIKE during rotation! DO NOT exceed 10 degrees rotation until you have lifted off!

The A321-100's have a much lower Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) than the A321-200's! If you want to fly with a full payload, you may have to offload some fuel to stay below MTOW! You may also lower your payload in order to fly with a full fuel load.

The A321 is a much heavier aircraft than the A320. When taking off at MTOW, you may need to use an initial Cruise Level of 29,000 feet. With about 30,000 lbs of fuel remaining, you may cruise higher. Higher Cruise Levels are available if necessary, but it may take a long time to climb to them at full load.

Pay attention to the Maximum Landing Weights! Make sure you are below these weights when you land.

You must assign a keyboard command (Options -> Controls -> Assignments) for Tailhook and Wingfold (cargo doors and drooping control surface operation)! By default, Flight Simulator DOES NOT assign a command for these features."
