Originally created by Horizon Simulations

This mod has started to take shape with a lot more accurate characteristics for an A318ceo as originally intended by LVFR

Please make sure that if you're updating from a previous installation that you delete the old files from your community folder, and then extract / copy the updated ones back in there. Do NOT Overwrite

Installation Steps

Step 1: Make sure that you do own a Genuine Copy of LVFR A318
Step 2: Make sure that said genuine copy is installed and updated to the latest by LVFR
Step 3: Make sure to remove any previous versions of the mod from your community folder: "zLVFR-A318-FBW-Compatibility"
Step 4: Download the updated version from here
Step 5: Once downloaded extract the folder: "lvfr-horizonsim-airbus-a318-ceo" into your Community Folder
Step 6: From the FlyByWire or from the Headwind Installer install SimBridge
Step 7: If you're using GSX download our GSX profiles for the aircraft

Notes:

FlyByWire A32NX is not required for the mod to work
We do NOT recommend installing any other improvement mods, or any additional mods for the LatinVFR A318 alongside this mod, as they could interfere with the FlyByWire systems.

!! A genuine copy of LVFR A318 is needed for this mod to work !! This mod works independently from FBW but install FlyByWire Simbridge from the FBW Installer.

KNOWN ISSUES:

LVFR's cabin is only visible from the outside
- This is not something that we can resolve due to how LVFR handles their models within the simulator as they have their cockpit and cabin models created as one unit.
- Therefore when we integrate FlyByWire systems the interior is not going to be visible as we're replacing the cockpit altogether resulting in the cabin being gone on internal views

A very wonderful job, guys, good luck to you in everything!

Excellent mod. Where can I download the Horizons Simulations liveries for the A318 and A319.

Hello, this is amazing! The only problem I'm having is with the steep approach functionality - the ignition switch and MFD work with the expected messages but the actual speed brake itself appears to be locked at full flaps (as would be expected in a typical A32X). Do you know if this is able to be fixed? The final missing ingredient to be able to do A318 BA2 landings at LCY 😊!

Thank you so much for this. I absolutely love the A318, and this mod adds up so much to the experience.

As I look forward for future updates and improvements, I enjoy every minute spent inside my beautiful baby bus.

Hi, It doesn't show me the options section so I don't know how to integrate simbrief. Thank you!

I think the latest up date broke it.

otakuphill

Hi, I have a question for anyone who knows the answer.

Does this mod allow for speedbrake extension during steep approaches (e.g. into EGLC), and if so, how do I activate it?

Thanks.

fuel is always at zero. That's why I can't start the engines.

Is there a Takeoff Performance calculator? I see the T.O.D. and landing calculator.

The screens do not work when I turn on the batteries and the GPU on the aircraft. Only the nav screen shows the start up time of 40 seconds. Do you have a solution ?

Thanks for all the work your putting in on improving these airctaft systems.

Works perfect!

Thank you for hard work on this mod; it's really appreciated. I have encountered two minor issues so far:

1. I'm getting the old ' You need to set parking brakes to enable ground services' message when using GSX
2. The TO CONFIG button doesn't work - the checklist didn't appear on the ECAM

Not sure if it's just me or if anyone else is experiencing this.

Hello. 1. Make sure you have downloaded our official GSX profile and also have the chocks and cones off in the efb 2. There are no issues encountered during testing with this, make sure you configure the airplane/mcdu corectly and follow the start and after start flow corectly.

when i load in the msfs the plane is invisible can someone help ?

Hello, do you have the Latin VFR A318 bought and installed? Have you completely deleted any previous version folder? Do you have this on a specific livery or on all?

srxrx055

Thank you very much for your kind words, we are glad that you enjoy our mods :)

Hi there, Thank you for the comment. For the time being our house liveries are for internal use only as we're planning on making a few more and giving the community a few customisation options around them later on. We'll be sure to make the appropriate announcements about this a bit later on :) -- All the best, Mark - Horizon Simulations

how do i install this

25 days ago

You download the archive, extract that folder to msfs community folder. Make sure you bought and installed Latin VFR A318 before. Install Simbridge from Flybywire installer.

Is there any likelihood of the cabin being able to be restored whilst using this mod?

1 months ago

Regarding the cabin in internal views unfortunately when it comes to that there's nothing we can do about it due to how LVFR structured their models. Essentially at this point the cabin and the cockpit model as far as they are concerned is one unit, and as we're replacing the cockpit the only way that we can make the cabin visible for the time being is from the outside views and not internally. If LVFR at any point separates them once again, then we should be able to have them back on the internal views as well, until then though there's really nothing we can do. Hope that answers the question. -- Regards, Mark - Horizon Simulations

Thank you for the comment and for the 5 star review. For the time being "STEEP APPR" on the ECAM is purely cosmetic, as to actually implement the correct aircraft behaviour 3/4 speed brakes extended, etc we'd need to edit quite a lot of systems in the background for it to work as intended. The aircraft is still capable of handling the ILS landings into LCY though, even without the speedbrakes being extended, and without the flare logic being adjusted. Hope that answers your question. -- Regards, Rob - Horizon Simulations

I use all your other mods and they work great! I just went to start using the A318 but when I extract the Compatibility Mod it gives me one error on a file and says it's too long. I just clicked skip and am wondering if that will impact the Mod at all. Thanks!

Update: Yes it did break the Compatibility Mod, I have no avionics but the fly pad works lol. Guess there is something on my end preventing me from being able to add the Mod to my Community Folder.

Thank you for your kind words, V2 will come soon and it will be a huge improvement. Join our discord to be up to date on the progress.

Did you explore the options on the tablet, such as Dispatch?

hi i see that the parking brake problem from gsx is present on the last update. on the a330 headwing for ex i can use gsx what should i do?

Use our own official GSX profiles that have been created specifically for this reason that can be found on our profile.

Please make sure that you delete any previous GSX.cfg files from the appropriate folders and to do a clean install of profiles, and the mod. And disable chocks and cones from the EFB's Settings

Latest update on FS2020 has broken the navigation, aircraft will not follow flight plan waypoints even with DIR to the next waypoint. Won't work

i cant see the exterior of the plane

What exactly do you mean by that?

You only have a cockpit showing up when loading into the mod?

If yes, you might have a livery that's not working correctly. Or you do not actually have the LVFR A318ceo installed, which is a requirement for this mod to work as stated in the mod description.

You can see through the entire plane, through the cabin windows?

If this is the actual problem, then please see previous comments about this, and read #known-issues on our Discord.

vilsonlumi

HI, I've installed and the engine parameters are off on the display and the flight controls does not work....

What do you mean are off? Provide a screenshot uploaded on a site like https://imgbb.com/ and post the link here. Did you completely deleted the previous version before installing this one? Or you just overwrite the previous folder?
