About the BMI Virtual Airlines Airbus A320 for Flight Simulator FSX
The BMI Virtual Airline's Airbus A320 aircraft is similar to the BMI Virtual Airlines Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft in the real world and flight simulator. Changes include strengthening of the undercarriage to cope with the higher weights, more powerful engines, a simplified and refined fuel system and larger tyres for better braking. A slightly modified wing with double slotted flaps and modifications to the flight simulation controls allows the Airbus A320's handling characteristics to closely resemble the A320's. The A320 features an identical flight simulator flightdeck to that on the A319 and A320, and shares the same type rating as the smaller two aircraft.
The basic A320-100 features a reduction in range compared to the Airbus A320 as extra fuel tankage was not added to the initial design to compensate for the extra weight. To overcome this Airbus launched the longer range, heavier A320-200 development in 1995 which has a full pax transcontinental US range, which is also available in flight simulator. This is achieved through higher thrust V2533-A5 or CFM56-5B3 engines and minor structural strengthening and 2900 litres (766US gal/638Imp gal) greater fuel capacity with the installation of an ACT (additional centre tank).
