Background
-------------
Project Airbus is proud to present the Airbus A319. Contains accurate model with details such as: opening passenger and cargo doors, animated pack inlets and outflow valves, all operable control surfaces, flexing wings, detailed flap tracks and slat rails, hydraulics modeled on spoilers and landing gear doors. Model design by Andy Warden and Derek Mayer, flight dynamics by Peter Binamira, base textures by Demetris Themistocleous and Alessandro Savarese.
Transportes Areos del Continente Americano (Grupo TACA) is the flag carrier of El Salvador, and comprises the following airlines; Aviateca, Lacsa, NICA, Taca International, Taca de Honduras and TACA Peru. Collectively, TACA flies to 21 different countries. It operates a fleet of primarily Airbus Aircraft; the A321, A320 and A319. It has several E190's on order, however. This airframe, registration N478TA, is unique in that it bears the Centro America tourism logo on the outside of the engine cowlings. Some of the logos on this aircraft are hand painted. Most of the textures in this repaint are 32-bit.

Installation Instructions:
----------------------------
This is a complete install. The panel and sound are from the default 737-400. Unzip this package directly into your Aircraft folder. It will create a subfolder named \Project_Airbus_A319-132_TAI_N478TA. When you start FS, look for the new aircraft under the manufacturer Project Airbus, a type of A319-132 and variation of TACA "Centro America" (N478TA).

-------------------------
Other Enhancements:
-------------------------
I suggest that if you want an "as real as it gets" experience in your Project Airbus A319-132 (IAE) download and install the following:

 ------
 Panel: 
 ------
Undoubtedly the most outstanding, detailed and realistic Airbus A320/319 freeware panel available is by Ken Mitchell. To get it, you will need the following files at AVSIM.COM:

 - ab320km_panel.zip
 - km320upd.zip

If you want the updated square LCDs on you A320/A319 panel, I suggest you get the updated Ken Mitchell panel. It replaces the above panel, so you only need this package if you prefer the newer square LCD displays. Here's the filename on AVSIM:
 - ab320km_lcd_update_tcc.zip 

 -------
 Sounds:
 -------
There are several and none specific to the A319, but a soundset I suggest is the IAE V2500 Sounds For The A320 Family (Version 2) by Emil Serafino Jr. This chap does great work. They are for the Airbus A32x with the IAE V2500 engines. To get them, download the following file at AVSIM.COM:

 - v2500_a32x_snd_v2.zip
