This is my 2048px Virtual Cockpit for the Aerosoft Airbus A320 & A321. Included are high resolution textures for the pedestal, overhead, FCU, fuses (both, overhead and the back side of the flight deck) and photorealistic buttons and switches made right from photos taken on the real deal. Additional VAS usage is at around 100-150mb in Prepar3Dv3.3. There is no noticable impact on the performance on my or any of the beta testers computers. Painting this took me around 150 working hours plus the countless hours of all the people who helped me with a tremendous effort. Special thanks go out to Holgi for helping me on some parts of the floor and backwall and Frank for taking all the pictures necessary to realise a job like this! Without you guys this would not have been possible! This is the 2048px version of this repaint, a 4096px version will follow soon! You will hardly notice a difference though Due to the enormous effort that went into this (over a month full time work plus countless evenings fiddling around with files and the quirks of our beloved flight simulators) I would apprechiate if you could donate a few € or $ if you like the paint! >>Please Donate if you like this<< (Unfortunately only a German link is possible, however just enter the amount, click login to paypal and then you'll be redirection to your language for the rest of the process ) ------------------------------------------------------------ Installation Instructions (read this... really!) ------------------------------------------------------------ Backup the content of the folder [FSX/P3D mainfolder]\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A320_A321 Base. Unzip the file into a temporary location. Paste the content of the folder A320A321 into [FSX/P3D mainfolder]\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A320_A321 Base. Make sure the content of the three subfolders gets integrated and you should be asked to overwrite 39 files in total. Make sure to overwrite the old files, otherwise this paint will not show correctly. [Important] Delete all files including the word MAINPANEL in the texture.xxx [where xxx stands for the respective name of the livery] folders within the [FSX/P3D]\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A32x CFM/IAE folders. This is important since FSX will pick files from those folders over those from the fallback folders. [Important] Repeat this step each time you install a new livery since liveries come with their own MAINPANEL files, which however are in the default resolution. See the limitations below. Ensure the Texture_Max_Load in your FSX.cfg/Prepar3D.cfg is set to at least 2048, better 4096. ------------------------------------------------------------- Known limitations ------------------------------------------------------------- The aircrafts registration will no longer show. This is unavoidable since the registration is saved in the mainpanel file which I had to alter. Thus you need to delete the mainpanel file in which the registration of the aircraft is saved. Please ask your repainter to supply you with a version of my mainpanel file including the registration of the aircraft. Painters are explicitly allowed to modify the mainpanel files supplied in this package to add the registration of the aircraft and upload them to this forums. Only the dark night lighting version was possible. Do not use the Airbus Configurator to change between the bright and dark lighting options! These are not compatible with this repaint. Final words: I hope you will have as much fun flying with my repaint than I had painting it. . . . . . ...you really read all the way down here here? Stop reading and go flying!

South Orkney Islands and Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica. Antarctica4XPlane - Part I Please note: In rare cases, the download-button on this download-page may not work for certain web browsers i.e. you click the download-button and nothing happens or even an error occurs. In this case, please try another web browser. Thanks! I am proud to present Part I of my Antarctica Mesh Scenery Antarctica4XPlane. This first part of my mesh scenery covers the South Orkney Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula down to -76 degrees. More regions will follow in the future: I recommend you to follow the development blog to stay up to date. Antarctica4XPlane is close to its 4th anniversary. Years of joy, but also hard work on this challenging Antarctica Mesh Scenery. I'd like to continue the Antarctica4XPlane project to present further parts of the coldest and driest continent on our earth. However, that isn't possible without support. Thus, if you like the Antarctica4XPlane project and want to support the further development, then please visit the project's support-site and support the further development. Installation is simple: Unarchive the downloaded file and place the folder Antarctica4XPlane_1v4 into your Custom Scenery directory and add the following line near the bottom (below the research base sceneries) of your scenery_packs.ini: SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Antarctica4XPlane_1v4/ Caution: If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Part I, then delete the directory of the old version before you start your simulator. I strongly recommend to switch on "runways follow terrain contours" and if you're already using X-Plane 11 then I recommend you my Antarctic Maps because X-Plane's default map doesn't cover the Antarctic Continent. To start your Antarctica Adventure with Antarctica4XPlane I suggest the Research Base Station Sceneries available on the project's website. First Sceneries are already available and hopefully many more will follow. Antarctica4XPlane comes exclusively for X-Plane, for free and personal use only, but without guarantee and warranty. Antarctica4XPlane is intended for flight simulation only and shall not be used for real life navigation or any other real life purposes. You are not allowed to modify, reverse-engineer or redistribute this scenery or to use any part of it in your own sceneries.

Coats Land and Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. Antarctica4XPlane - Part III Please note: In rare cases, the download-button on this download-page may not work for certain web browsers i.e. you click the download-button and nothing happens or even an error occurs. In this case, please try another web browser. Thanks! The Antarctic Adventure continous! I am proud to present Part III of my Antarctica Mesh Scenery Antarctica4XPlane. It covers Coats Land and the western parts of Queen Maud Land, down to -81 degrees. Suitable add-ons as well as more regions will follow in the future: I recommend you to follow the development blog to stay up to date. Creating a Antarctica Mesh Scenery is a quite difficult and time-consuming task. That's due to missing or not accurate data in the public domain. Many parts of this mesh scenery were modeled by hand, and a lot of passion went into this project. However, this ambitious freeware project cannot keep alive without support. Thus, if you like the Antarctica4XPlane project and want to support the further development, then please visit the project's support-site and support the further development. Installation is simple: Unarchive the downloaded file and place the folder Antarctica4XPlane_3v1 into your Custom Scenery directory and add the following line near the bottom (below the research base sceneries) of your scenery_packs.ini: SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Antarctica4XPlane_3v1/ I strongly recommend to switch on "runways follow terrain contours" and if you're already using X-Plane 11 then I recommend you my Antarctic Maps because X-Plane's default map doesn't cover the Antarctic Continent. To start your Antarctica Adventure with Antarctica4XPlane I suggest the Research Base Station Sceneries available on the project's website. First Sceneries are already available and hopefully many more will follow. Please note: For this Part 3 doesn't exist so far any custom scenery. Because of that, I attach an apt.dat (unzip the archive and move the apt.dat into Custom Scenery/Antarctica4XPlane_3v1/Earth nav data/) with some skiways and helipads: EGAH (Halley Research Station), SAYB (Belgrano II Base), AT16 (Neumayer-Station III), DRE1 (Drescher Ice Camp), ABA1 (Aboa Research Station), WSA1 (Wasa Research Station), SVE1 (Svea Research Station), AT12 (Kohnen Station), AT22 (SANAE IV Research Base), AT27 (Troll Research Station) and TOR1 (Tor Research Station).

This livery has been designed with the utmost attention to detail and all decals have been placed as accurately as possible. Some of you may notice that the luminous tips on the wing have not been added to this aircraft, this is due to Aerosoft's paint kit mirroring them onto the other wing. On this specific model the luminous tips only exist on the right wing, if this is a feature you can't live without please let me know and I will push an update. I’ve painted on light traces of weathering and dirt especially towards the belly and tail area as SWISS generally keep their aircraft in good shape. Also, do be aware that these textures have been created using a heavily modified version of Aerosoft's 2K paintkit, meaning that this texture is over 100MB larger compared to other repaints when decompressed as It's in 4K. Thank you to @John Glanville for his assistance in creating this livery and his alpha layers. *for the Aerosoft A319 Professional for Prepar3D v4.4+ - Not compatible with previous versions of Prepar3D or FSX *This is not a representation of what your aircraft model will most likely look like in your sim with this livery, I am using my own unique TomatoShade preset and reflection profile.
