A319/A320 with external stairs (Reposting in the correct forum)

Featured Replies

Greetings,

Looking for an Airbus A319 (preferably) or an A320 with external stairs built into the aircraft. Don't care if it's payware or not. Please let me know if there is one available. 

Thank You

J.R

Sadly there's none. Only A330 (CLS), A340 (CLS, just for the -200 and -300) and maybe A220 and A350 (Camsim).

OK, the A220 is not a true Airbus, but well...

Thank you for the reply.

I would've figured after all these decades (going back to (FS98),  somebody, or a company would've put one in by now. Project Opensky (POSKY), and other developers have put them in on their line of Boeing planes making it nice to know that your passengers are going to be able to safely exit the aircraft...instead of possibly falling to their death from not having external stairs, or airport vehicle stairs to debark the airplane on. This is your Captain speaking...thank you for flying with us, and please remember to fill out your next of kin card because there isn't any stairs to safely get you to the tarmac. Please give us a 5 star review on whatever social media that you are on, and hope that you fly with us again..if able!!!
All jokes aside. One thing that I have done with the airports in Europe (that's where the Airbus comes into play) that don't have jetways is put vehicle stairs into place using Abacus EZ Scenery (not sure what the price of it is), but I know it's available from different sim stores. At least it gives the impression that the passengers are going to get to the tarmac safely. Kind of a little work,..but makes the whole impression a bit nicer.

Happy Flying

Hiroshi from TDS is working on an A320NEO and as we know him, he is an perfectionist, so he will most likely do the whole A32X series and all the other TDS aircraft include external stairs and other stuff.

Wow that is great news. Like I said earlier...after 2 decades I can't believe that nobody from either Project Airbus, and payware such as Wilco, and others never provided external stairs on their aircraft. Can't wait to check it out the TDS model. Thanks for the info.

Safe Landings
