CFMI is a 50–50 joint-owned company of SNECMA - France and GE Aviation (GE), USA. And have a thrust range of 18,000 to 34,000 pounds-force (80 to 150 kilonewtons). The CFM56 family of high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines are made by CFM International (CFMI). No doubt the most popular engine choice for the A320 Airbus.
#A320 virtual cockpit how to#
Peter Hager provides full details on how to replace the Xplane 9 components. For Xplane9 you have to replace certain components (so I would again recommend to duplicate the main file and keep it safe in case you need it in the future for X-Plane 10).
#A320 virtual cockpit activation key#
To install just move the main aircraft files to your X-Plane10 Aircraft Folder and use the activation key to activate the file (I recommend a full X-Plane restart when completed). when you open either package you will see both the separate versions and the extra component folders to change the aircraft to Xplane9 compatible aircraft. On their own they work fine, but not when with the 3d version and then having to work with both the 2d and the 3d cockpits together.ĭownload is via both versions of both the CFM (504.90mb) and the IAE (399.10mb) packages. I didn't quite like it, as it feels odd - but then Peter's panels have always been like this one.

The 3d is fine in shape, but the 2d is squashed together (to fit I suppose) and it comes out all very tall in your perspective. But you find yourself finding when switching back and too (and very often to use the FMC) in that the two cockpits are quite different in shape.

It is very similar to the VC cockpit in Peters A380 series. You use the FLX MCT (Max Continuous thrust - FLX) for the initial takeoff phase. The CL (Max Climb Thrust) position was exceptional for getting the aircraft from the transition altitude (here 6000ft) and to the required flight level. But once activated the A/THR took control and the speed matched the required climb and flap position perfectly. I did find the "Speed" hard to set (or find) in when bringing back the throttle after takeoff to the A/THR detent position. The Airbus autoflight system is also very well simulated, which includes FCU (Flight Control Unit), FMA ( flight mode annunciator ) and A/THR (Auto/Thrust). Peter Hager's aircraft are renowned for there excellent flying characteristics, and here you have the full FBW (Fly-By-Wire) system that precisely simulates the normal mode (laws), including all protections. Which is really good for resetting your route or joining a route halfway through the flight plan. One item i really liked was the "Direct To". Flight Level/Temp - and settings for Departure - Cruise and Approach phases. fms routes, but you can also still set the aircraft's - Pref's - Vref's - Cost Index - Flight No. There is not the standard FMC of the Thales FMGS - (Flight Management and Guidance Computer) that is situated on the A320 aircraft, but the standard X-Plane FMS system which has been very well integrated into the system. It is fully functional, but still a hybrid. In the 2d aspect the MCDU is a pop-up panel so you can access the display unit. For that you have to use the standard 2d cockpit. The VC is fully functional except for in one area, and that is the MCDU ( Mulifunction Control Display Unit). Peters Aircraft A320 has been released for a while now, but like its larger brother the A321 that had its VC cockpit included in February 2014. So with the full dual package you will have four distinct versions of the A320 aircraft (eight if you count in X-Plane9 versions). Or a dual package version of the A320-214 and the A320-232together.Īlso with each engined version there comes another version choice of either the aircraft having Winglets or the latest fashion of the tall Sharklet design. A single aircraft version of the A320-214 with the CFM 56-5B2 engines or the A320-232 with the IAE V2500 engines.
