(Previously Air 2000). The aircraft is a repainted version of FSPainter's model and can be used for AI or for flying in its own right. It is a complete package and includes all necessary files. Original model by Mitsushi Yutaka. Repaint by John Newman.
The folder contains a repaints of an Airbus A320 in the livery of First Choice, which is the rebranding in the parent company's name of what was previously their charter airline Air 2000.
Included is:
G-OOAS : CFM engines, First Choice logo replacing previous Air 2000 titles and web address added to the fuselage.
The aircraft is a complete package and includes FSPainter's CFM 56 model files. Although it is primarily designed for AI Flight it can be flown in its own right. Personally when I fly this package as non AI I use Marco Spada's A320 panel and a CFM sound package of which there are several available. A separate aircraft.config file is included should you wish to fly non AI. See installation notes.
The main textures are 32 bit for better quality and are in the main hand painted.
Installation:
Unzip the "a320_fc" file then "copy and paste" or "drag and drop" the "A320_First Choice" folder from the unzipped file to the Microsoft Games\FS2004\Aircraft folder. The aircraft will appear under the "AI Aircraft" entry in the FS2004 index.
If you wish to fly the aircraft in non AI mode then there is another config file named "Non AI aircraft.config" available in the folder. Preferably backup the original aircraft.config file elsewhere before deleting it and replacing it with the replacement file "Non AI aircraft.config" now renamed to "aircraft.config". The aircraft will now appear
