Repaint and Remarks
===================

SkyTeam is an airline alliance and was founded in 2000 by Aeroméxico,

Air France, Delta Air Lines and Korean Air – the last of the three

airline alliances to be formed – but has grown to become second largest

airline alliance in the world (in passenger number terms and members),

behind Star Alliance and ahead of Oneworld. The alliance currently

consists of thirteen carriers from four continents, one of them is Air

France. Since 2011 Air France is operating an Airbus A320 in the

colors of SkyTeam.

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

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

Features
========

The Project Airbus A319 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

Doors Operation
===============

L1 – Select exit (Shift + E)
L2 + cargo doors – Tail hook up/down (not assigned to a key binding by default)
R1 + R2 – Wing fold/unfold (not assigned to a key binding by default)
