Does anyone have Dry Operating Weights for the British Airways A319, A320 (preferably G-EUU*, with or without sharklets) and A321 (G-EUX*) fleet? Surely someone from BAV has access to them?

I'm no expert with the contact points, should I need more or less?

This is hence why I think the contact points are the only option. Even if it means that they won't touch down properly, adding additional contact points might improve the effect.

Very good. I don't believe CLS use XML animation for their A330, does that mean it's impossible to achieve?

Yes, I'm not holding out for PA if I'm honest. I do think that contact points can improve the effect if anything, I have made progress on it but simply not reached a good result.

Anyone who owns the CLS A330 will know that the gear animation is completely unrealistic, particularly on touchdown. I have spent hours attempting to modify the contact points to achieve a more accurate animation but it's proving impossible. Does anyone with experience tweaking contact points wish to have a go? Or does anyone know a solution? It's a shame because it's otherwise the best model out there!

I see, thanks.

I don't own the Airbus X however I have had the work done for me and provided as dds files. I'm wondering how the registration and SELCAL plate is customised. Assuming it is done through the texture files, can anyone point me in the direction of the real-world font or as close to it as possible? If it is not done through the texture file, is it added somewhere else? Thanks in advance.

February 6th 2014 In addition to the five planned new destinations previously announced, freshJet now plans to operate new services from Glasgow and Manchester to four new European destinations. Flights to Riga, Prague, Stockholm and Warsaw will also commence in May and will be operated by Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft. freshJet previously operated flights to Prague from Glasgow and Belfast however the route was temporarily withdrawn in favour of other routes due to aircraft restrictions.

S14 New Destinations Five new destinations have been announced in Europe, Mexico and USA, with the following scheduled to begin in May 2014: Glasgow - Las Vegas Glasgow - Cancun Glasgow - Dalaman Glasgow - Lanzarote Glasgow - Ibiza Manchester - Orlando MCO Manchester - Cancun Manchester - Ibiza Manchester - Lanzarote London/Gatwick - Orlando MCO Short haul services are operated by Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft, while long-haul services are operated by 2 Airbus A330-343X aircraft. We are expected to take delivery of our second A330 in the coming months. New London/Gatwick Hub Last year, freshJet opened a public vote to help develop plans for the airline's next UK hub. Over 50% voted for London/Gatwick, and it has since been concluded that a new hub at London/Gatwick will open in May. Initially, 2 Airbus A320s and 1 Airbus A319 will be based at Gatwick, operating flights to Glasgow, Manchester, Belfast, Amsterdam, Alicante, Palma, Malaga and Tenerife. Long-haul operations will inaugurate in July to Orlando. Belfast Hub to Close As a result of recent decline, it has been decided that our hub at Belfast International will close later this year. During the current season, a single Airbus A319 is based there, operating services to just six destinations. Domestic services from Glasgow and Manchester will be unaffected by the closure. Pilots will move to Glasgow, Manchester, or the new London/Gatwick hub. www.freshjetvirtual.com :: Follow us on Twitter :: Like us on Facebook
