With Korean Air, Delta codeshare, having received 10 of these new A220-300 aircraft, DVA Operations is proud to announce that it has been added to the fleet. The A220-300 is a secondary aircraft of the A320 program. Pilots can obtain the rating by requesting additional ratings in the A320 program.

There is a Camsim A220 on avsim.net for FSX (where the photo came from).

Enjoy!

Seems to be a large disparity in the weight limitations between CamSim and what Airbus gives. Apparently I was overweight on landing even though CamSim said I was way/weigh under.

Wouldn't surprise me. Camsim is great at putting stuff out fast but its not always the most accurate flight model.

I changed my .cfg file weights to what they should be. I'll try another flight now and see what happens.

I was just wondering if DVA was going to use the -100 then since we have the -300 on the books now. Maybe just waiting for when Delta actually starts using it then.

Since the DAL has not yet taken delivery of the CS100 ( I can't call it the A220), that's why we don't have it in our fleet, just yet. Rest assured, once the DAL does the revenue service, we'll have it in our fleet smile

A220-100 coming in Jan 2019.

Having some issues w/CamSim A220-100 & 300 which has to do with aircraft weight.
Went into config and both the 100 & 200 weigh in at 300,000 lbs-time for a diet program!
Anyone needing the real MT weight it is:
A220-100 - 77,650 Lbs
A220-300 - 81,750 Lbs

Maybe this could be put in the aircraft profiles info?
