An Airbus A320 installer is now available in the Fleet Library in Air France and South African colors. It includes Eric Marciano's A320 panel, which should be a pretty accurate representation of the flight management system and panel. I cannot get the FMC working properly with the navigation data database or the flight plans, so anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.
Based on experience, you will want to read the manual. Even the knobs on the panel are non-intuitive.
Cheers!

I installed the 320 and I encountered two problems.
I cant see the S. Africa texture and the panel has some missing gauges.
Good luck.

The A320 is a really rushed release, as I got it ready for David, David and Terry for our trip to USAir's A320 simulators. I didn't want to release it generally, but it was simpler to release as a "caveat emptor" release and get it out there.
I am reading through the A320 panel FAQs and it appears that there are a number of problems with the installer I have put together, namely in the ND gauge and the SAA textures. Oh well..... such is the price of being on the bleeding edge. 
Cheers!

I downloaded Eric panel seperately and had no issues on my 2002 FS.
It is an incredible panel, extremely accurate, or at least I hope it is.... 
I took it on a test flight last night, sorry USAir livery, and after toying with it for 20 minutes, this after I read and will reread the manual. It flies great, screams at you when you do something wrong and smiles when you do right. I did get the FMS to work, it ties in with the FS planner, so if you use an alternate planner, like FSNAV, make sure you export it to FS to the computer will know what you are doing.
I am pleased.
