FS2004 Austrian Airlines Airbus A319 (OC)

This freeware add-on introduces a fictional, retro-themed Austrian Airlines Airbus A319 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. It contains a complete package featuring a native FSPainter model, with visuals and AI flight dynamics that preserve performance. The repaint highlights the older airline branding that was never officially used for this aircraft variant during its actual delivery.

Authentic Airbus A319 Representation

The Airbus A319 belongs to the A320 family, well-known for its efficiency on short- to medium-haul routes. Under the hands of FSPainter, this model implements LOD (Level of Detail) technology for optimal in-simulator performance. For enthusiasts preferring detailed external animations, it includes retractable landing gear, deployed flaps and spoilers, thrust reverser action, antenna placement, flap fairings, and functional gear bays. Reflective texture mapping, derived from Antti Salo’s photorealistic paint kit, further enhances the visuals.

Fictional Austrian Airlines Color Scheme

Although these specific jets entered the Austrian Airlines fleet featuring a newer livery, the repaint captures the classic palette. This entirely fictional approach has been crafted for enthusiasts who prefer the traditional style. Every detail on the fuselage, tail, and wing surfaces mimics the older corporate identity, delivering a visually appealing tribute to Austrian’s heritage.
