I can't get the stock Project Airbus A320 to work, I have downloaded it and put it into my Aircraft folder but it doesn't show up. Doesn't help that the Read Me file is far from idiot proof!!

Hello fellow flightsimmers, Joined this forum in order to maybe get a bit of help with a problem I am having with the Project Airbus A320 flight dynamics. I am a long term flight sim user whose flown many different aircraft types over the years and managed to alter the Aircraft CFGs to make the flight experience that much more realistic. This however has me stumped. After downloading the aforementioned aircraft from AVSIM and taking it for a spin I realised the engine performance is very strange. At idle power on the ground the aircraft actually taxies (and can reach a good speed if allowed to go on), I have sorted this out with other aircarft in the past by reducing the idle thrust scalar on the cfg file so that's not really an issue. However from being over powered on the ground, it lacks in the air. On a full power take-off the aircraft takes a good while to get up to 130-140 kts rotate speed (much longer than the Overland/SMS version I'm more used to). On the climb the aircraft struggles to gain airspeed at vertical speeds of more than 1600 feet per min. If climbed to cruising altitude at 1800 fpm the aircraft will start to actually lose airspeed at around 10,000ft and will struggle even to climb at 1400 fpm at altitudes above 18,000 ft. Does anyone know how to fix this problem as it has me properly perplexed? Thanks in advance for any help offered Tony
