Airbus 320 neo and Modern aircraft fleet

Post by Vc Ten »

I've spent the last couple of weeks, inserting into the VA database, all the current British Airways European routes. There is no pdf available or hard copy of this so the only way I could get the flight details was to input each one manually 8)
Joe has created a modern aircraft fleet and has got hold of a secondhand A20N aircraft
Most of the routes originate from Heathrow with a few from Gatwick and Manchester I've also inserted the domestic routes. We only have the one airframe, but if there is the interest we could get more.

Well done Dale. Unfortunately I am currently grounded as my flight sim computer has a power supply problem which required sending it back to Dell, and a part it needs is backordered. I have tried using the A320 in MSFS several times but could never not out the autopilot. I guess I am just too used to the earlier sims where you manually set the altitude and I have never had to use the FMC.

Thanks Joe
The aircraft to use is the Flybywire A320 neo https://github.com/flybywiresim/A32NX
It's now a stand alone model in the sim so any msfs updates don't affect it anymore. It still uses some of the Asobo code but eventually will have its own autopilot. It's a vast improvement on the default.
The secret to the fmc is to register with SimBrief (free) Their software will generate an operational flight plan based on your departure, arrival and aircraft details The route can be automatically uploaded once in the sim. Give me a shout if you want to know anything further.

There seams to be interest so we now have another A320-neo parked at LFBT/Tarbes awaiting delivery, we don't have any routes from there so I will transfer it to EGLL.

Thanks dale, I managed to find the flights on the fsairlines database but not on our database which is where my confusion came from.
