ToLiss - Airbus A319 XP

Officially licensed Airbus product!

The Airbus A319 by ToLiss is a 120-140 seat single-aisle mid-range modern state-of-the-art FBW aircraft with a high focus on detailed system modelling.
 
Highlights:

• FMGS with SID/STAR, Airways alternate flight plans, performance prediction, etc.
• Out of the box with TSS (Turbine Sound Studios) custom sounds for the CFM engine
• Realistic FBW with Alternate and Direct law reversions
• Fault injection interface with support for roughly 90 different failures and probability-based random failure injection
• Choice of CFM and IAE engine, and wingtip fences or sharklets; choices affect aircraft performance and FMGS predictions

Detailed list of features:
FMGS:

• Support of SID/STAR, including all leg types (Arc, course or heading to intercept, Radius to Fix, Holdings, etc.)
• Temporary and alternate flight plans
• Full VNAV guidance with TOC, TOD, Deceleration point, speed limits, fuel prediction, etc.
• Altitude and speed constraints as the real aircraft deals with them
• Ability to change the selected STAR while already in the STAR
• Support for go-arounds and diversions
• Step altitudes
• Airway support
• 2 independent MCDUs and autopilots

Top-notch aircraft systems:

• ToLiss uses the QPAC Fly-by-wire and autopilot module, augmented to support Alternate and Direct Law
• Unique feature: Control Surface hinge moment modelling allows the surfaces to float to the appropriate position after loss of all actuators on a surface
• Fault injection interface allowing to inject custom selected failures, or randomly selected failure based on fault probabilities
• Custom TCAS with resolution advisory function
• Terrain on ND and Weather radar available (WX radar works with default X-plane weather engine)
• Brake temperature model based on the detailled physics of heat transfer between the individual brake components
• Hydraulics model in which the pressure is dependent on usage. This is most notable when dropping to RAT mode
• Detailed model of each ADIRU including alignment, small pressure sensor differences between the units, switching of sources for PFDs
• Custom air conditioning model supporting high altitude operations at airports like Cusco in Peru or La Paz in Bolivia without spurious warnings
• Flight warning system with ECAM actions supporting numerous system failure scenarios, e.g. engine failures, generator failures, hydraulic failures

Eye- and ear-candy:

• Detailed 3D cockpit
• 3D exterior model with CFM and IAE engine
• Choice between classic wingtip fences or modern sharklets (controlled via livery names)
• Custom sounds from Turbine Sound Studios (TSS) included for the CFM engine; IAE engine soundpack available as addon for a small fee

Usability features:

• Situation loading and saving. It is possible to save the flight at any point in time and resume it another day; this can also be used, e.g., to save the position just before approach and practice just the approach many times
• Autosaving allows recovering where you left off, should the XPlane session end unexpectedly
• Jumping waypoint-to-waypoint through the cruise phase: Shorten your flight to focus on the more interesting parts as you like
• Integrated takeoff performance calculator supporting the use of flex temperature

Note: ToLiss products only ship with ToLiss liveries and Airbus house liveries. All images are subject to changes due to constant updates of the product.
