Interfacing original aircraft equipment for use into a Flight Simulator was always going to be a challenge. As you progress through the integration of the many components, you soon begin to realise there are other many other features you would like to accurately simulate. Some of these functions include: Backlighting logic and power – only … Continue reading
The New ProSimA320 Visual Model (Version 1.10) has been released for ProSimA320 1.35b2. PBR and new dynamic lighting are a welcome addition to the avionics suite. There has also been mentioned of improvements to the aerodynamic flight-models. ================================= – IMPORTANT: Requires ProSimA320 1.35b2 or higher – Completely new A320 visual model, specially designed for Prepar3D … Continue reading
There was common discussion among professional pilots how the ProSimA320 flight model was ‘on rails’ and unrealistic. In comparison the freeware avionics suite Jeehell FMGS provided a more accurate rendering of the flybywire system with a flight model which was similar in depiction to the real aircraft. This might all change with the soon to … Continue reading
There has been an ongoing flight model pitch bug highlighted in this thread. Unfortunately no fix seems to be in sight; Possum tackles this issue with a potential fix with his software. Hopefully the Prosim-AR team can take another look at this outstanding bug with development prioritising on the flight dynamics and modelling. Continue reading

The following is a tutorial on how to setup a motorized trim wheel using a Pololu hardware feedback interface board and ProsimA320. Alternative avionics software such as Jeehell FMGS does not have native Pololu compatibility and will require additional driver support, such as FSUIPCtoPololu from TNS-Systems. Hardware trim setup can be reviewed over here. Wire … Continue reading
