Airbus A320 Family Development

[Octal450]

Hello all
I started my own A320Family based off the A320-family, but importing the A320neo FDM model, and cockpit. I then replaced the sharklets with standard airbus winglets, engines with IAE V2500 (CFM56 coming later) and she looks pretty good. I plan to rewrite most of the systems, and am making new instruments, to make the most realistic Airbus A320 Family out there.

I am first doing the A320-200 with V2500 engines, then I will add the A319 and A321 with V2500, then I'll add the CFM, and then after that, the A318.

EDIT: Screenshots outdated, so I removed them, because I an can HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best part: It uses the same paintkit as the A320-Family AND A320neo! So many more liveries will be added very soon.

You're doing the A320-Family!!!

I thought it would never happen.

I can't wait for the first release.

@FL2070
Has your sounds, they are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why, I said it right here:

I did something similar, made a A320 package from the neo, replaced the NEO engines with the old engines, in FDM, and model. Very simple. Never pushed or finished it though.

I alreayd knew how to do it, but I had to do it over cause I lost the old folder.

To make the cockpit fit correctly in the fuselage, I actually used the A320neo fuselage, and wings, but replaced the sharklets, and engines.

It is on my github, but not flyable. I disabled the AP until JWOCKY and I have sorted the FDM's fuel and stability issues.

And I have a new ECAM like this: http://www.flyian.net/cockpit/pits/a320/ecam.jpg in the works, not done yet tho.

Soon will be!

@oscar
What are your skills?

A320 style IAE ECAM Upper part finished, still missing a few minor things, flap indicator, and warnings/messages.


Eng1 is off, Eng2 on.


Looks nice in the flightdeck!!!
I also fixed the autospeedbrake, the disarm and retract by only pressing CTRL+B once after they deploy, they work for RTO, and Landings. Same functionality as in my A340s. (ported from there also the Airbus Thrust system, etc.)

Other than that, I fixed the fuel tank feed issues, and JWOCKY and I should be able to sort out the FDM soon enough.

AND:
Hello A321!


Latest pushed to GIT. (link in first post)

Best,
Josh

I just pushed, I changed the CG and AERORPs in the A320-200 (NOT the A321 yet). Did a little test flying manually with almost empty and brutal loaded, but nothing in between. Now, I had no time, but acan someone check the engine and tank positions. For my feeling,t hey are not even near to the wings, but I am no 3D man so I can't look in the model.

Other questions:

- She has an unhealthy tendency to roll on her own
- She is quite nervous on the ground while taxiing

but for both those points, I am not sure whether my joystick is contributing to it, so I need some opinions about that. And of course Josh's opinion about the new pitch behavior

[Octal450]

OK, I'll pull and try it.

I can't help with engine positions. They are not in the same model as the wings. If I had to guess, I'd say it could be found out by doing some math. I'll try to find it later.

Keep in mind: I will have 3 models: A319, A320, A321. I don't plan to add the A318 for a while since a lot changes. I add the A319 this afternoon

Just look at the positions where they are defined in a JSB file. 598 or so on the x-axis, so for my feeling, they are quite forward of the wings and maybe even on wing level, the positions are weird, or maybe it's just me.

And why the hell are we even up that early?
