| Aircraft | Engine Options | Typical Uses | |----------|----------------|---------------| | A318 | CFM56-5B, PW6000 | Short-haul, small capacity | | A319 | CFM56-5B, IAE V2500 | Short–medium haul | | A320 | CFM56-5B, IAE V2500 | Medium-haul | | A321 | CFM56-5B, IAE V2500 | High-capacity short–medium haul |
All variants feature:
Sound is half the immersion. The V3.13 bundle integrates improved sound sets. The distinct "barking" of the PTU (Power Transfer Unit) during engine start is a fan favorite—it’s that growling noise you hear in row 20 on a real plane that often scares passengers. Hearing that accurately replicated in the sim adds a layer of audio grittiness that brings the metal tube to life.
The bundle gives four variants with accurate differences: fsx fsxse aerosoft airbus bundle v131
| Variant | Length | Engines | Doors | Use case in FSX | |---------|--------|---------|-------|----------------| | A318 | 31.44 m | CFM56-5B/PW6000 | 4 | Short field / high altitude | | A319 | 33.84 m | CFM56-5B / IAE V2500 | 4 | Short-medium haul | | A320 | 37.57 m | CFM56-5B / IAE V2500 | 4 | Classic narrowbody | | A321 | 44.51 m | CFM56-5B / IAE V2500 | 4 (plus overwing) | High density, short range |
Note: Each variant includes engine option switching via the configurator (not in-flight changeable).
Aerosoft is a well-known name in the flight simulation community, renowned for producing high-quality aircraft models, scenery, and utility software. Their products are designed to enhance the simulation experience, offering users more realistic flight dynamics, detailed graphics, and authentic real-world scenarios. | Aircraft | Engine Options | Typical Uses
v1.31 can be heavy. Here’s how to optimize:
| Setting | Recommendation | |--------|----------------| | Texture resolution | 1024x1024 (not 2048) – reduces VAS usage | | DX10 Preview | Works with the fixer, but not vanilla | | AI Traffic | Set <= 40% – too high causes VAS spikes | | Autogen | Dense (not very dense) | | Tesselation | Off (FSX doesn't use it) |
Critical: Use the Aerosoft Updater before every flight. v1.31 has a silent database for AIRAC cycles (Navigraph compatible). Without updating, your SIDs and STARs in China or South America will be from 2016. Sound is half the immersion
The short answer: Yes.
While the Fenix A320 for MSFS and the ToLiss for X-Plane exist, they require a $1,500+ PC. The FSX FSXSE Aerosoft Airbus Bundle v131 runs beautifully on a decade-old laptop or a budget desktop.
Version 1.31 is considered a mature, stable release for FSX/FSX:SE. It includes:
