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".

FAIB A321 logo.In FSX you will need to add a panel and sound folder for the plane to be visible in the aircraft selection menu.

Note

This aircraft was designed specifically for use as an AI aircraft. As such, the primary design criteria were that it looks good sitting at the gate, or as seen when landing from an aircraft waiting to take off.
