JustFlight - A320 Jetliner

Designed and built exclusively for Flight Simulator X the A320 Jetliner is part of the much acclaimed and user-friendly Just Flight F-Lite series.

Developed in-house by Just Flight’s expert designers, A320 Jetliner features accurate and detailed exterior and virtual cockpit modelling, a custom-programmed MCDU (Multifunction Control Display Unit), CFM56 and IAE V2500 engine models with high quality sound sets for both engine types, and four international airline liveries.

Just Flight's F-Lite range of aircraft is designed to provide top quality aircraft that are extremely high in detail but less demanding to fly than today's most complex procedural simulators. These aircraft are a significant step up from the default Flight Simulator aircraft in terms of modelling and cockpit systems, but won't require weeks of study before you can get airborne.

MCDU (Multipurpose Control Display Unit)

The A320 Jetliner features a custom-coded MCDU) to assist you with functionality that many pilots find lacking on the default FSX A321 aircraft.

• Flight Plan pages - load and activate pre-made FSX flight plans without having to leave the cockpit, track the route, get an overview of distances and arrival times to the next waypoint en route and your destination


• Modify your route and save it


• Cockpit Navigator pages - easily switch panels (open/hide) via the MCDU


• Checklist pages - access the A320 checklists and work from them with MCDU help, showing you matches/mismatches between required checklist items and current aircraft settings. Only when all aircraft settings match the checklist requirements will the checklist will be completed and closed.


• Aircraft/ flight status page, showing date/time, coordinates and some general aircraft information at a glance (flaps status, gear status, fuel status, lights etc.)


• The MCDU can hold two flight plans - an active flight
  plan and a standby flight plan. You can load a flight plan direct as the
  active flight plan (for immediate use) or you can load it as a standby flight plan and set it as active later. You can have an active and a standby flight plan loaded at the same time, so you have an alternate route in case you need to change plans. With both flight plans you can add and remove waypoints.
