Aerosoft Airbus X - Preview

[Sharrow 107]

On the sim aircraft do the ailerons droop when the flaps are extended?

As a matter of interest why would they do that?

[Guest cmjA320]

They are designed to droop upon selection of flap.They droop 5 degrees.Reference-Fcom 1.27.10 p9.The neutral position mark on the flight control page on ecam also changes.1.27.40 p10

[Gaura Mohana 23]

As a matter of fact They do droop.

here is a quick video i made: http://video.aerosoft.com/A321AD.wmv

please do not comment that it looks bad or anything like that. I do NOT have the latest version of the plane (or anything close to it)!!! i am just showing you what i see.

!!!That will be fun!!!

Can´t wait (but use all your time that you need)

Don't you feel a hypocritical calling the person who uploaded this software a 'rat'. If you think what they did was wrong, why download it. If you don't think they were wrong, why insult them? Or do you think that you what did is 'only a little wrong but acceptable' because someone else was wrong first and you had a good reason?

It is nice of you to say you will buy it anyway, but what about the person who was undecided? Maybe they will and maybe they wont, but now they have just read your comment that it is buggy and hard to fly. Are you going to pay for the copy they would have bought aswell? Or are you going to pay the extra Euro or two that I will be charged to cover the losses you contributed to?

Maybe a demo product would solve this problem?

thats basically what this leaked beta sample is doing right?

I know that captain sim and fsdreamteam have partially functional demos that allow the overexcited user to try before buy. I still regret the time i bought the captain sim 757 express before the updated pro was released, and never got above 3 frames. I'm sure this could be effective in baiting customers, I know it works for me lol when i downloaded the captain sim c130 demo, i couldn't believ how well it performed on my system, and couldn't resist buying it. even though the airbus i supposed to be frame efficient, i have trepidation sinking 60 bucks on something I'm not sure will be completely satisfactory on my system, but once I have tasted its awsomeness my 60 bucks is tucked neatly away in your pocket

P.S. will there be a jetblue livery? pleasepleaseplease can we have a jetblue livery included in the package?

[Rafal Haczek 1612]

many sliders (such as autogen) make more on the complete left as FS9 did on the right

Is this statement based on your own experience/comparison or you're just repeating what you read somewhere else?

I have done such checks and I would strongly disagree.

I dont have much expirience with FS (only seen it on a friends computer - never on mine)

But one thing i have noticed is while my friend gets around 30-40 FPS on his computer with FS9, My computer feels much "smoother" at 15FPS in FSX. (both FPS benchmarked in the same airport)

Hello there!

In order to have an idea about the technical level of the product, coul'd that be possible to release a short video

of an engine start-up sequence (mainly an ECAM/WD-SD view) or a take-off roll?

Thank you!

[Rónán O Cadhain 71]

Ok Mathjis I got 1 idea & 1 question that I didnt seen thrown at ya of which I hope the team atleast considers & answers in the future.

#1: A way to or hotkey to disable ailerons on the ground below hmm...30kts an instead apply it to the tiller. I believe Majestic SOftware first dash had this implemented but a hotkey that will disable it works better because we can both test flight controls (Ailerons active) and taxi precisely (Ailerons deactivated) so when we turn her the ailerons dont move and its a sharper turn. Hope I didn't confuse you

#2: Will she be able to start via External Power/Pneumatic Air? along with that 2B: Crossbleed Start?

Hope to hear from you & the team soon and will continue to monitor her progress

#1 I think what this person is talking about is is that he has a joystick but no rudder-pedals so uses the autorudder function. Therefore he doesn't want the ailerons turning when he is taking a corner.

As it has been said time and time again this is a product for your average user so that probably includes ones who don't go out and spend €1,000 on pedals and special throttle quadrants, just the simple

joystick. Might be a nice touch to implement this feature.

You saw the video and I can also now confirm that the aileron neutral position mark on the flight control page does indeed shift down when flaps are extended.

[gokumalo 1]

thank you for clarifying that for me aerlingus231. I would love to get rudder pedals but just can't at the moment :-( Hopefully its atleast considered.

[Guest cmjA320]

Sharrow,I am impressed with the level of authenticity of this sim and will have to think of a few other bus idiosyncrasies to test you on.Here are a few ,if you extend the landing lights above 250 kt what happens?If the altimeters on each side of the cockpit pressure setting differ what happens?

Does the RAT work?

[Guest cmjA320]

The most important question and the best feature of the fbw bus-Does the table work??

[Kwiss 128]

Lol yes it does, theres an early AVI of the cockpit somwhere, even the jump seat unfolds out 

[Emi 5161]

can anybody please tell me which system i nead to use fsx with all graphics at maimum settings?

(cpu, graphic card, cache)

Still not possible at the moment to max out the settings on any PC, all depends on your budget as to what you get settings wise, get a i7 CPU and work your way from that

Some screenshots in different perspectives for those who wonder about wing views and their quality.

I had no time to select and edit (just resize), so take them as they are.

Sorry for the loadtime you'll experience and please enjoy your future flight views!

What a beautiful aircraft

[Rónán O Cadhain 71]

So lovely, you tease so much.

[Rafal Haczek 1612]

What a beautiful aircraft

Yes, it is, indeed.

As was previously stated by many, in the visual aspects it is hard to beat.

Plus, what is even better, it is surprisingly gentle for FPS. Very positive for people with a bit older rigs, like me.

[NFF405 5]

Yeah, for the optics ther will be no other airbus that beats the aerosoft airbus, but when we talk about the systems of the aircraft i'm very sure that there will be a better airbus *airsimmer.... if they release the aibus anytime*

[Rafal Haczek 1612]

if they release the aibus anytime

If they do, then we'll see and talk. For now let's stick to Aerosoft Airbus X in this thread.

[OPabst 2091]

aibus anytime*

Sure, today they miss one letter, tomorrow the rest

EDIT: Yesterday the miss one letter, today the rest

EDIT 2: And I miss my money I had invest a year ago

[Sharrow 107]

but remember that many sliders (such as autogen) make more on the complete left as FS9 did on the right.

As Rafal pointed out above this statement is indeed not correct. For comparison purposes at best you are looking at mid-level autogen settings in FSX approximating full autogen settings in FS9.
