FSX AI Bureau Airbus A321 Base Models Pack

In FS9 this is an AI aircraft and will NOT BE VISIBLE in the aircraft selection window in the flight simulator. However, if you want it to be visible in the aircraft selection window, you have to edit the "FAIB_A321.air" file with the program "AirEd" (available (if not corrupt) at AVSIM "aired.zip"), change "Aircraft Type" from "2" to "0".

In FSX you will need to add a panel and sound folder for the plane to be visible in the aircraft selection menu.
