A320 Specs and Description

Jetjockey10 · February 4, 2017 at 4:39 PM

Hello Folks,

I am trying to identify the exact model Airbus that we have in the virtual hangar. All I know is that I read it has CFM engines.

Does anyone know, or can read the files and determine which model engine these are? maybe the thrust numbers are there. (Need to convert to English, not metric)

Also, does anyone know the MTOW. It should be there in Kgs. The info box says 170,000 lbs.

Fuel volume?

Number of Passenger seats? Configuration? 180 passengers (dual seat?)
Range? nm

Anything else that might nail down the exact model?
Does anyone know is this has the same specs as the Aerosoft Airbus X?

Regards,

Ray

Should be a A320-214, if I remember correctly... That one has a CFM56-5B4
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A320_family#Engines_2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFM_International_CFM56

CFM56-5B4 (from wikipedia)
Thrust 27,000 lbf (120 kN)
Bypass ratio 5.7
pressure ratio 32.6
dry weight 5,250 lb (2,380 kg)

PAX, I don't know
Actual number isn't important, MTOW is.
In the a320.tmc file says MTOW = 78t (171960 lb)

Range in tmc is 6150000m = 3320NM

The 3D model is purchased from Aerosoft as far as I know,
highly modified by now though (they are listed in the "about" tab as sources)
So could be the same specs...

Cheers,
Jan

Yeah, I was about to say it is the Aerosoft Airbus: http://en.shop.aerosoft.com/eshop.php?action=article_detail&s_supplier_aid=13112&s_design=default&shopfilter_category=flight%20simulation&s_language=english

Mathijs just mentioned on the forum fairly recently that he's never seen their product look better. http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/top…aerofly-2-a320/

Do the Aerosoft nav radios tune in? It would be so nice to be able to get bearings and distances off selected nearby beacons and practice actual navigation or simulate actual instrument approaches. Can you use the backup whiskey compass? (only presume there is one, Boeing style).
Is it for fsx or xplane? I don't have either installed (their site is down for maintenance).

Yes as far as I remember the Aerosoft airbus has autotuning. Depends on the flightplan in the MCDU. Yes the backup compass works there. Its FSX.

Too bad the licensing deal apparently did not include all the sound effects. :p

3D model does not mean sounds as well... Yes we do need better sounds
