FlyByWire Simulations A32NX

The A32NX Project is a community-driven open source project to create a free Airbus A320neo in Microsoft Flight Simulator that is as close to reality as possible.

The following aircraft configuration is currently simulated or targeted:

A320neo

Model       A320-251N
Engine      CFM LEAP 1A-26
APU         APS3200
FMS         Honeywell Release H3
FWC Std.    H2F13
RA          Honeywell ALA-52B
TAWS        Honeywell EGPWS
ACAS        Honeywell TPA-100B
ATC         Honeywell TRA-100B
MMR         Honeywell iMMR
WXR         Honeywell RDR-4000

Please note that this configuration may change in the future as the A32NX project evolves and changes.

FAQ

What liveries are available?

Liveries for the A32NX can be found on Flightsim.to.

When is the next update?

We don’t know, since it depends on many factors. We will announce each new stable version via Discord and our social media channels listed above.

How do I join the team?

Read Contributing.md and join our Discord to get started.

Is the A32NX payware?

No, it is a completely free aircraft, open-source.

How do we report bugs?

Please read the known Issues and bug reporting section.

Is this going to be “study-level”?

While many in the team dislike the term “study-level” as its use is mostly applicable to certified training devices, we are in fact very dedicated on bringing a high fidelity A320neo to the Microsoft Flight Simulator platform.

Is feature X from the A320neo going to be implemented?

Chances are, yes! While we do not guarantee every single detail of the aircraft will eventually be represented, our goal is to produce an extremely accurate simulation based on technical data and real-world testing. This means you can be almost certain every feature of the aircraft will eventually be simulated to the best of the simulator’s ability as long as the technical data backs it up.

Why has feature X not been implemented yet?

It’s very likely that the feature you are awaiting is already under development! However, we strive for the greatest accuracy possible when producing aircraft, and it is therefore likely that a great deal of time will be spent on developing a proper software design and gathering sufficient references before we are able to offer the feature.

Why is my version not the same as what I see others using?

We have two mainline versions: stable and development. The stable version is a ‘snapshot’ of the development which we regard as stable with the current version of the simulator. The developer build is updated daily and is a constant work in progress and although we test thoroughly each update, minor issues may occur from time to time.

You can read more about the differences between the versions we offer on our documentation portal.

Is there a list of features or a changelog available?

We do not keep a list of features implemented, but a lengthy changelog of what has been implemented, and their associated pull requests can be found here.
