The Airbus A320 family is a series of twinjet narrowbody commercial passenger jets manufactured by Airbus Industrie. Designed for short to medium haul flights, the aircraft pioneered fly-by-wire technology and regularly competes with the Boeing 737 series. This is an accurate and complex recreation of the A320 family.
Development is currently on hold awaiting restructuring.

Using the selector knobs on the FCU
The flight control unit (FCU) is the panel on the glareshield that contains controls for the auto flight system, electronic flight information system (EFIS) screens and other systems. It contains various selector knobs that rotate. Some knobs can also be pushed or pulled in order to change modes or other settings.
