The A319 is the smaller version of the very successful A320 airliner and is flown on short to medium length routes with low passenger density.
Developed in-house by Just Flight’s expert designers exclusively for FSX, the A319 Jetliner is part of the acclaimed F-Lite series and features accurate and detailed exterior textures and a virtual cockpit modelling a custom-programmed MCDU (Multifunction Control Display Unit).
Both the CFM56 and IAE V2500 engine types are modelled in this pack along with a high quality FSX sound set.
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)
A318 Jetliner has a custom-coded MCDU to assist you with functionality that many flight simmers miss 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 about distances and arrival times to the next waypoint en route and your destination
Modify your route and save it
Cockpit Navigator pages - easily switch (open/hide) panels via the MCDU
Checklist pages - access the A319 checklists and work them off 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 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, one active and one standby. You can have an active and a standby flight plan loaded at the same time, so that you have an alternate route in case you need to change plans. With both flight plans you can add and remove waypoints.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Flight Simulator X (SP2 and Direct X 10 preview compatible)
Its quite a very nice airplane, it has all what it needs to fly with, not so complicated for those who wants to fly very quickly without goig very deep into details, the vc is good in frame rates and looks like a dream, in other words, is worth to buy and fly.
Qualitativ vergleichbar mit dem A318-Jetliner von F Lite.
Daher unverständlich warum das Produkt so teuer ist.
Angenehm ist halt hier die Performance im FSX und somit nett für den "Feierabend-Piloten".
Macht Spaß aber eben null Systemtiefe!
The best version of this airplane there is.
It could have been better grafiks vice, but thanks a repaint kit is included so one can make their own textures.
The textures for the autside is not good compared to QS and similar developers, but the inside is quite okay, and until a better version comes, this will do more than fine.
It has the option of both FMC and GPS, GPS does not make it as real as it could have been and limits the FMC (I am told)
But all in all a fine product.
