Find aircraft background, systems descriptions and manuals for the aircraft you are researching. Each note keeps its source and version context close by.
Simulator manuals describe the developer’s implementation. Aircraft background is research-based; pilot accounts describe an individual’s experience. Coverage here is limited to the selected notes and linked resources, not the full contents of every manual.

Managed and selected guidance
The iniBuilds guide distinguishes guidance along the planned route and computed profiles from targets chosen on the flight-control panel. The flight-management side handles navigation, planning and predictions; the flight-guidance side commands the autopilot, flight directors and autothrust. That division helps explain the relationship between the MCDU and glareshield controls.

The later bundled A320neo has its own systems guide
The iniBuilds guide explains load-factor-based fly-by-wire control and automatic trim, and separates autopilot, flight-director and autothrust indications. It describes the later A320neo implementation. Its equipment differs from the original Asobo aircraft and independent A320 add-ons.

Released product and variants
The A320 base includes CFM56 and IAE V2500 engine variants, with wingtip fences and Sharklets. The A319/A321 expansion requires that base and supplies both engine families for each aircraft. Its A319 can use standard or high-density cabins; the A321 offers up to two additional centre tanks. The current products support MSFS 2020 and 2024 on PC.

Airbus A320 family
The original A320 first flew in 1987 and entered service in 1988. Airbus subsequently stretched the design into the A321 and shortened it into the A319 and A318. The family made digital fly-by-wire and sidestick controls familiar to a large part of the airline world.
The A319, A321 and A320neo differ in fuselage length, engines, fuel arrangements and equipment. In the simulator, the original bundled A320neo, the later V2 aircraft and independent developers' products also have their own systems and documentation.
