iFDG A318-100

The A318 is the smallest member of the A320 family. The A318 has a passenger capacity of 109 in a two-class configuration and is a further shortened version of the A319, which in itself is a shortened A320. The A318 is almost completely identical to the A319 and A320 with the same two-crew digital glass cockpit. The A318 program was launched in April 1999. The first flight occurred on January 15, 2002 and commercial service started in July 2003 with Frontier Airlines. In June 2007, the A318 was cleared to operate from London City Airport (LCY / EGLC) and with that the first non-regional or business jet to land and takeoff on the small 1,199m (3,650ft) runway in London.

After their succesful A319/320/321, iFDG released the A318. Like all their aircraft, it doesn't have a panel or virtual cockpit, only the exterior model. This exterior model is highly detailed and has all the standard features like animated control surfaces, wingviews, flexing wings and more. Unlike the Aerodesigns A318, the wing vortices are not automatically activated, but you have to use the I key to enable them.
