QPAC A320 for X-Plane

As part of QPAC's R&D activities, we have implemented a highly realistic add-on for the flight simulation X-Plane 9, simulating the Airbus A320 aircraft, which is available for download.

The add-on includes a detailed simulation of the Airbus flight controls and auto-flight functions, including:

  • Fly-by-wire normal law giving a realistic aircraft response to control inputs including flight envelope protection
  • Auto Pilot Flight Control Unit (FCU): All features of the real FCU are realistically simulated
  • Auto flight system in accordance to Airbus logic, including ILS-Autoland and automatic roll-out

The simulation furthermore comprises simulation of the following aircraft systems:

  • Simplified system simulation for Bleed (ATA36) and Air Conditioning (ATA21)
  • Complete simulation of the hydraulics (ATA29). Control surface movements, as well as landing gear features depend correctly on the availability of the associated hydraulic circuits
  • Electrics system simulation (ATA24): Automatic and manual bus reconfiguration according to real-life aircraft logic. Cockpit instrumentation and lights only work if the associated bus-systems are powered. Same for the Flight Control Computers
  • Complete simulation of the Fuel System (ATA28) including the automatic sequencing of the fuel use in the different tanks, the possibility for fuel cross feeding etc.
  • Simulation of the Landing Gear System (ATA32) giving a more realistic auto-brake behavior and making gear features dependent on the availability of the respective control units and the hydraulic pressure

Other features of the aircraft are:

  • Enhanced X-Plane flight management
  • A detailed 3D exterior model of the entire aircraft, including animated gears, fan-blades, thrust reverser, and control surfaces.
  • Widescreen cockpit including full Overhead panel and possibility to fly from the Captain's or the Copilot's side.
  • Additional aircraft skins available on www.x-plane.org

The aircraft is free to use as a technology demonstrator and for personal entertainment for private end users. For commercial use of our add-on, please contact us on info@qpac.de

You can download the most recent version of the aircraft here:
QPAC A320 Version 1.0 RC 1

Changes from Beta 6: Lots of small bug fixes, increased transponder switch sizes (due to popular request), improved vertical behaviour of flight director for more realism, more realistic behaviour of managed speed during approach.

We recommend to every user to read the Quick Start Guide shipping with the package. It can be consulted online here.

There is a support forum on x-plane.org dedicated to this aircraft.
