FSX Austrian Airlines Airbus A320-214

Austrian Airlines Airbus A320-214 retro-jet. In 2008 Austrian Airlines celebrated its 50th anniversary. Its first commercial scheduled flight took off from Vienna bound for London. To celebrate this occasion, Austrian Airlines painted an A320 with a nice retro look, just like in the 1960's. The aircraft is equipped with a VC and new alpha channels. By Marco Fischbach.

Installation Instructions
=========================

Simply extract the ZIP file in your Flight Simulator X/Aircraft directory and move the contents of the Effects folder to your root Flight Simulator X/Effects directory.

Features
========

The Project Airbus A320 offers a wide range of features, many of which are XML-controlled such as:

• Pressurisation outflow valve – controls air pressure by letting it out, opens below 30 knots on ground
• Ground spoilers
• Pack outlets – open different amounts due to temperature
• Idle reversers – reversers stay open for a couple of seconds after they have been shut off, open full when only idle reverse thrust is selected
• Parallel bogies – in the double-bogey model (used by Indian Airlines)
• Dynamic jetwash – visible only when engines running
• Dropping surfaces – elevators and ailerons drop when engines are shut off

Also:

• Opening passenger and cargo doors
• Custom effects – double strobes, navigation and beacon lights, as well as touchdown effects
• Dynamic shine
• Wingviews
• Accurate landing gear extension and retraction

===============

L1 – Select exit (Shift + E)
L2 + cargo doors – Tail hook up/down (not assigned to a key binding by default)
