Kwiss 128 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Not decided on some of that yet, but Autoland for sure. Great news on the Autoland feature! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimPilot767 157 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Will the Bus have Autoland and TCAS capability and also will we be able to add constraints into the flight plan on the FMGS for height and speed restrictions? Thanks in advance TCAS would be fine, including aural warnings like: "traffic, traffic" or "adjust vertical speed" etc. Timo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cattz 3 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I haven't read every post in this thread so apologies if this has been covered but will there be a 'simply fly' version so I can just press ctrl+E, push the throttle and fly without hours of pre-flight checks etc. At my age time is limited 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the actual purpose of this addon. All aircraft systems though will be simulated in relative high detail, but the way the real Airbus is designed, means that little action has to be done by the pilot due to the high level of automation. This is also the way the Aerosoft Airbus will function. For studying the Airbus 320 series of aircraft, You can visit: http://www.smartcockpit.com/plane/airbus/A320/ Look into each system description like Aircond/Press/Vent etc. Apart from abnormal situations, the Aerosoft Airbus will reflect these system describtions.

Kwiss 128 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 A little off topic but can any body recommend a joystick for the airbus? I only use a Yoke system at the moment and it would by nice to hear what would be preferred as to which 'side stick' to have for the bus. I guess a joystick that feels ok in the left hand would be a start, any ideas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehead 126 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 +1! So please gimme the PTU sound! Timo PS: A sound that no other developer has ever implemented is the "spool" sound of the electric seat adjustment. It´s a very loud noise in Boeing- or Airbus-Cockpits. Many addons have adjustable seats, but they all move silent. One doesn't need the unrealistic audible cue for the PTU, as the ECAM displays the PTU message when it is running... there is your realistic visual cue... Seat sounds, now that sounds realistic too! I would be up for those if they could be implemented... new term ear candy! Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehead 126 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Sure it will have FBW, because even the default Airbus has it. But you don´t determine an angle with your stick input, but the roll rate and the pitch. That means, the more you push the sidestick to the left, the FASTER the plane will roll to the left. If you release the sidestick, the roll-rate becomes zero again and the plane will keep the bank-angle and the pitch. And you can´t fly a looping or a roll with the airbus (under FBW) because the Flight-Envelope-Protection determines the maximum pitch and bank angle. Timo Without going into too much detail, I do believe these flight manoeuvres are possible in the A320, as long as you are in Direct Law, or is it Alternate Law? Complicated, this Airbus FBW thingie... When initiating the roll, a pitch change is necessary, but once the turn is established, a further change in pitch is not required. This is pretty much straight out of the FCOM, though not verbatim, for Normal Law... So perhaps the question is as to whether Normal, Direct, and Alternate Law are going to be implemented. As far as I can tell, it is this stuff that has made the true simulation of Airbuses for FS the most difficult... Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesChams 108 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Mr. Kok / Developers / Other Team Users, Since you mentioned that this Airbus Project spun-out of a "Professional" development project, I was wondering if anyone has used/tested this (FCU320) product for FSX? Found Here: http://www.cpflight.com/sito/dettagli/fcu320.asp I seriously considering purchasing either one of these (737 or A3x) and am debating wheather I should get the 737 one instead because I'm more firmilar with its operations. Since you are making an authentic Airbus model in FSX, I might consider getting the FCU instead. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frkaipanika 9 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hope that You will implement into the manual how to configure jojstick controls (Axis, Deadzones..etc.) in FSX ...to simulate Fly by wire closest possible to real one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimPilot767 157 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Really no news about this project so close to the release? I would appreciate a little hint concerning the release-date so that i have some time to uninstall the Wilco-Airbus... (maybe i should do this anyway....) Just kidding...

Finn 873 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 In the current developement phase there is really not alot to post screenshots about. Progress is steady - new buttons switches etc. are added each day, as well as various aircraft system code are added. Just because there is silence here, doesn´t mean that we are at a standstill - thats definitly not the case Best Finn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt oberdorfer 26 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 On the new Captain Sim 767, there are very nice wear and tear textures on the wings. Is there anyway by default, there could be wear and tear on the wings of the Airbus? That's just another addition that makes everything more realistic. Thanks, Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it will, using our new system that allows the wings to behave more realistic then what is done on other models. For example more movement on the ground etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
