FSX Strategic Airbus A320-214 VH-YQA

Strategic Airbus A320-214 VH-YQA textures bring an Australian-registered airliner to life with refreshed engine artwork that changes the strake accents from red to blue, matching the operator’s look. Built for FSX and based on the Project Airbus A320, it requires the Project Airbus model and supports quick updating of the earlier Strategic repaint.

Another Project Airbus Strategic A320. This version includes an Australian registration (VH-YQA), and updated engine textures, which recolor the engine strakes on the other Strategic A320 (PA_320_STRATEGIC.ZIP) from red to blue (instructions included on how to update). Strategic was founded in Australia in 2008, in 2011 it rebranded to Air Australia, and ceased operations in 2012 due to financial difficulties. This specific aircraft (VH-YQA), has served with many different airlines, and was broken up at Kemble in 2012. By Michael Demura.

Notes:

  • These are only textures for the Project Airbus A320.
  • These textures have only been tested in FSX, support will not be offered to FS2004 users.
  • This paint was tested on the updated FSX Project Airbus model, it has not been used on the FS2004 model, although it may work.
  • If the Project Airbus A320 does not display in FSX, copy the Panel folder from the default A321.
  • This can be used to remove the red parts on the engines of my other Strategic A320 paint (if you would like to do this, please scroll down).

Installation:

  • Copy texture.Strategic_AUS to your Project Airbus A320 CFM folder.
  • Paste the following into your aircraft.cfg replacing "X" with the next number (starting at 0). It is important to add this at the very bottom of aircraft.cfg.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.
  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
