Airbus A319 (ToLiss)
Editorial Overview & Systems Analysis
The Airbus A319 by ToLiss stands as one of the most reliable and technically refined study-level airliners available for X-Plane 12. Modeled after the shortened, high-performance variant of the A320 family, the A319 packs tremendous climb performance and short-field agility into a single-aisle airframe. ToLiss has earned an industry-leading reputation for system stability, framerate efficiency, and fly-by-wire fidelity, and this official XP12 release builds upon that foundation with native rain shedding, reworked exterior PBR lighting, and custom aerodynamic drag polars.
Under the hood, the aircraft delivers an authentic fly-by-wire flight envelope featuring complete Normal, Alternate, and Direct flight control laws. The dual Flight Management and Guidance System (FMGS) supports full vertical navigation (VNAV), RNP-AR non-precision approaches, terrain displays, Equitime Points (ETP), and automatic step-altitude predictions. With over 214 working circuit breakers, an interactive Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) featuring live takeoff and landing performance calculators, and both CFM56-5B and IAE V2500 engine types, this module offers top-tier line-operational realism with virtually zero technical quirks or frame stutter.
Primary Missions & Operational Roles
-
Short-to-Medium Haul Commercial Passenger: Standard airline routes carrying 124 to 156 passengers between domestic hubs and regional outstations.
-
Hot-and-High & Short-Field Mountain Operations: Steep-approach and high-density-altitude operations into constrained airfields like London City (EGLC), Innsbruck (LOWI), Aspen (KASE), or high Andean airports using the high-thrust CFM56-5B7 engine rating.
-
Corporate & VIP Charter (ACJ Role): Long-legged, low-payload private executive transport flying non-standard point-to-point routes.
Key Highlights
- Unmatched Systems Stability: ToLiss is widely regarded as the benchmark for crash-free reliability and light CPU overhead in X-Plane airliners.
- Complete Narrowbody Package: Features both CFM56 and IAE engines, selectable wingtip fences or Sharklets, and a dedicated CFM56-5B7 high-altitude thrust option without requiring separate paid add-ons.
- Exemplary Fly-by-Wire & VNAV: Rigorously matches real-world Airbus control laws, flare modes, auto-thrust response, and FMGS waypoint sequencing.
- Deep Maintenance & Failure Modeling: Includes over 214 operational circuit breakers and extensive custom system failure scenarios.
- Situational Flexibility: Integrated situation save/load state functionality allows practicing tricky approaches repeatedly without restarting the simulator.
Quirks & Limitations
- Exterior & Cockpit Aesthetics: While functional and clean in XP12, the 3D cockpit textures and external modeling lean more toward utilitarian fidelity rather than hyper-photorealistic eye candy.
- Default Audio Package: TSS sounds are included, but users looking for the deepest acoustic immersion often prefer adding third-party soundpacks (such as BSS or KOSP).
- Premium Aircraft Price Point: At $89.99, it represents a substantial investment, though justified by its study-level completeness and official Airbus licensing.
