Is it possible for the A320's systems to be modified in order to create something similar to the FBW A320 in MSFS or Zibo 737 in X-Plane? I'd really like to know before I start digging. Or may I borrow the 3D model for the cockpit and exterior to make my own aircraft mod?
A320 user customisable?

What exactly do you want to modify?
Because I spent dozens of hours making the FBW as realistic as possible.
And the 737 doesn't even have a fly by wire, so what does that have to do with it?

andyminhho didn‘t mean that he wants to modify the FBW. There is a mod called FBW 32NX for MSFS, which improves the system functionality of the A320 NEO.

Most systems in our A320 are already implemented and yes you could modify the aircraft tmd file to add in new systems.

For a start, I have noticed that the engine start times and IRS align times are quite unrealistic, also there is functionality missing in the MCDU, like holds. Would It be possible to change/implement these things as a mod?

Okay thanks, had some doubts because the folder size was kind of small

The IRS alignment time is shorter than in the real world intentionally. This is optional in my developer build already.
The engines that you have also not yet what I already have in my developer build. These will be updated in the future.
IRS alignment time is a parameter in the tmd file that you can change easily. So are the display self test times.
We're already working on holdings but this is not an A320 only feature, we obviously want this to be available for all aircraft.
What other MCDU features would you like to see?
The MCDU can currently not be changed from the outside.

The folder size has nothing to do with the complexity of the aircraft.
The space of the folder is taken up by the textures and sounds.
The definition of the systems takes up a few hundred kB in comparison.
Code is usually much much smaller than textures.

Oh that's great. I managed to fix the IRS alignment and engines myself so far, by digging through the files. I'm currently working on a more realistic IRS simulation - the ON BATT light appears. Any chance I could get my hands on that developer build?

Sorry but these dev builds cannot be shared with the public.
Just be a bit patient, the new features will make it to the public release eventually.
