Thank you for your interest in ProSimA320. The ProSimAR team have introduced the highest detail, designed from the ground up, to capture the essence of this aircraft. The team is passionate with the continuous development of ProSimA320 and is confident to set new standards that will exceed expectations within flight simulation.
1.2 Suite module overview
The ProSimA320 Suite consist of individual modules of which ProSimA320 System is the central component. The ProSimA320 System module interacts with your backend simulator platform software (Microsoft® Flight Simulator™ 10, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D®) therefore, runs on the primary computer. Distribution of all other modules is possible across multiple computers within your simulator configuration.
1.2.1 ProSimA320 System
Manages the simulation of aircraft systems, acts as a central network hub for all ProSimA320 Suite modules, interfaces with your hardware components, configured by graphical interfaces and features a webserver for the Instructor Operating Station (IOS).
1.2.2 ProSimA320 Display
Generates all graphical elements such as Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Navigation Display (ND) on the Main Instrument Panels (MIP) Display Units (DU). Creates graphical representations of the different panels within the cockpit, can be used to check the state of switches / indicators and displays the panels also without hardware.
1.2.3 ProSimA320 MCDU
The Master Control Display Unit (MCDU) controls the Flight Management System (FMS). This module provides possible connection of the MCDU in your cockpit or to display a graphical representation without hardware.
