This is a modification to the MSFS 2020 default Asobo A320 Neo aircraft and is primarily aimed at improving the aircraft flight model to make its overall performance more closely match the actual aircraft, providing a much closer experience to flying the real aircraft.
While this default aircraft has now been largely replaced by the new much more realistic Microsoft A320 Neo V2 included with SU15, it still offers a simpler less complex version of the A320 for newer pilots who are not yet familiar with entering a complex detailed flight plan in SimBrief and fully programing the MCDU. You can just start the flight with no Flight Plan at all, or create a simple GPS or IFR flight plan using the World Map and then start the flight.
This mod is easily installed by simply unzipping the download file and copying the mge-asobo-aircraft-a320-neo folder to the MSFS Community folder. It will then replace the existing default Asobo A320 Neo aircraft in the MSFS aircraft selection screen, and will also continue to utilize all of the existing available Liveries. To uninstall the mod and return to using the MSFS default aircraft, simply remove it from the Community folder.

For Final Approach, use the "Vapp" speed shown on the APPROACH page of the MCDU. This speed is calculated based on the current aircraft landing weight and Flaps setting. You can also simply adjust your Final Approach speed to achieve a pitch angle of about 2 1/2° nose Up, with your current weight and Flaps setting.

To perform a takeoff with 100% full tanks, use a trim setting of about 0.5 UP, and set Flaps 2. During takeoff, when your speed passes the "F" on the speed tape select Flaps 1, and when you pass the "S" select Flaps 0.

After completing the BEFORE START checklist, request and complete all desired GROUND SERVICES (Ground Power, Jetway, Fuel Truck, Catering Truck, Baggage Loading) before requesting Pushback. During or after Pushback you can complete the ENGINE START and AFTER START checklists.

1) Open the VFR Map and click on the destination airport to see the required ILS frequency.
2) Press the [RAD/NAV] button on the MCDU and enter the ILS frequency.
3) Descend to the ILS approach altitude of 2,500 - 3,000 ft. AGL.
5) Set the ND display mode switch to LS to see the CDI and Glideslope indicators.
6) When the ILS name and frequency are shown in the upper right corner of the ND you are receiving the ILS signal.
7) Reduce speed and select Flaps 1 or Flaps 2.
8) Press the [APPR] button to Arm the LOC and G/S modes.
9) If LOC mode does not immediately engage, turn to an appropriate HDG to intercept the Localizer.
10) LOC mode will engage when you are close enough to the Localizer course. G/S mode will engage when you intercept the glideslope.

Unlike a conventional aircraft, to decrease the aircraft pitch you must actively PUSH the nose down by applying DOWN elevator with the stick/yoke. Reducing power will NOT cause the nose to drop, since the FBW system will always readjust the trim to maintain the current pitch attitude. This frequent use of down elevator stick/yoke pressure is not required when flying a conventional aircraft, and will feel very unnatural at first and contrary to your previously learned piloting skills!
