FSX First Choice Airbus A321 G-OOAH

This repaint replicates the vibrant First Choice livery on the default Airbus A321 in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Created by George Hutton, it provides sim enthusiasts with authentic external markings, distinctive airline branding, and accurate tail details. Although this package highlights the textures and configuration entries, it requires the free base model available from the Fly Away Simulation mod library for complete functionality.

Notable Flight Deck and Exterior Elements

As part of the Airbus A320 family, the A321 features extended fuselage dimensions, enlarged landing gear assemblies, and powerful turbofans designed to support higher payload operations. This repaint leverages the default flight deck’s glass cockpit, fly-by-wire system, and sidestick control interfaces already provided within the simulator. Every reflective surface and fuselage contour aligns with the official airline color scheme to deliver a realistic feel during short-haul and medium-range flights.

Repaint and Installation Features

• Vivid texture mapping that highlights the airline’s palette.
• Fully compatible with the default cockpit and animations provided by the developer.
• Highly detailed logos and accurate aeronautical lettering along the fuselage.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Unpack the downloaded file and locate the Texture.fca folder.
2. Place that folder directly into your existing Airbus A321 directory within the simulator.
3. Open your aircraft.cfg located in the same folder, then copy the text block below. Insert it after the final entry, replacing X with the next sequential number (if default textures are the only ones present, set it to “4”).

description="The Airbus A321 is a stretched version of Airbus' best-selling short- and medium-range A320. The A321 has a slightly increased wing area, stronger landing gear with larger tires, and engines with increased thrust. When the A321 entered service in 1988, it pioneered the use of 'glass cockpit' instrumentation, the first digital fly-by-wire control system used in an airliner, and sidestick controllers."

Relevant Considerations

Ensure that you download and install the freeware base model hosted in the Fly Away Simulation library before applying these textures. This offering does not replace core files; instead, it adds supplementary visual content. George Hutton’s meticulous approach to repainting assures precise outlines of the airline’s brand identity, reflecting both the real-world counterpart and the default Airbus flight systems.
