Background:
-----------
I am very proud to present this detailed repaint of the iFDG A321-211, registration OH-LZF, of Finnair. Finnair, a Oneworld Alliance member airline, is the nation's flag carrier and the nations largest airline. It is based at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Finnair and its subsidiary companies dominate both the domestic and international air travel markets of Finland. The largest owner of the airline is the Finnish government. I paid attention to detail and realism as much as possible. All windows are hand-painted, 3D with window shades. The night windows textures are custom as well. Other night textures are custom as well. Custom engine textures and custom fuselage shading. I did my best to get the reg letters over the pilots window, but it got pretty stretched out. Anyway, the repainted textures in this package are 32-bit with no mipmaps for best clarity and quality.

Installation Instructions:
--------------------------
This is a complete install. Please read the file A321README.txt for additional iFDG information. This package contains all .bmp(texture), .mdl, .air and .cfg files current to iFDG A321 Service Pack 1.4. The panel and sound are from the default 747-400, but if you read below, I have (in addition to those mentioned in the iFDG A321Readme) some recommendations for a A321 panel and CFM soundset. Unzip this package directly into your Aircraft folder. It will create a folder there named \iFDG A321-211_FIN_OH_LZF. When you start FS, look for the aircraft under the manufacturer Airbus-iFDG, a type of A321-211 and variation of 'Finnair (OH-LZF)'.

Other Enhancements:
-------------------
I suggest that if you want an "as real as it gets" experience in your iFDG A321-211 (CFM) download and install the following:
------
Panel:
------
Undoubtedly the most outstanding, detailed and realistic Airbus A32x freeware panel available is by Ken Mitchell. To get it, you will need the following files at SurClaro.com:
- ab320km_panel.zip
- km320upd.zip
If you want the updated square LCDs on your A321 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, but a soundset I suggest is the Airbus A32X Series CFM56-5 Soundset by Mike Maarse. They are for the Airbus A32x with the GE CFM engines. To get them, download the following file at SurClaro.com:
- a32x_cfm.zip
