Shane 4 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 The cockpit does not look too dark to me at all. Looks great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimPilot767 157 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 On the pfd there is no Vls The airfield is Palma and the preferential runway there is 24L not the right as we see here. The pressure settings are also different in the images.If you are going to land on QFE then this pressure is always less than QNH,not 12mb/hpa more as we see here The red knob on the centre windscreen pillar does not extend outwards as shown here.There are three knobs/pins and they all sit within a small alcove on the pillar The hf selcal code is missing next to the registration. The wind speed on the ND is very unrealistic -200+kt??? I would prefer: "Thanks for the screenshots!" Timo 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timo He did say thanks but he also helped along aswell, be nice, at least these bug are now if they wern't befor known about, now atleast the team have time to change it before others come along and complain. I say well done CMJ320.^_^ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cmjA320 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Thank you for the screen shots! The three pins,two white one red,are to ensure you are sitting in the correct position to land the aircraft,especially when you are trying to establish a visual reference on an autoland. If I do not point out things which are incorrect you will have magazine reviewers and sim forum members telling you about them after you have released the product! I want this sim to be successful because I actually like flying the 320 and I hope that if the sales of the initial release are good then a more professional version will be released soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon747 98 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Guys you have much to do before release! The Cockpit is to Dark for me, too! Aerosoft, you are doing a great job! I think the vc looks beautiful and the lighting is fine. The items CmjA320 talking about seems a little picky as this is still a Beta and this product is intended for the novice pilot like me who wants a step up from default aircraft without having to waste valuable time worrying about pressures, pin colors etc, detalied FMC and blah blah! Keep up the good work and get this little baby out when you feel its ready! Simon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cmjA320 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I actually thought the cockpit lighting looked fine. In aviation I work on the premise that if you are going to fly then you should do it properly and professionally and that is why I like to see items properly represented and simulated.To somebody who has never flown the aircraft then I suppose I am being picky but to me as a professional these items grate.The bus is a very different beast to a conventional aircraft in the way it handles and the way information is displayed in the cockpit and that is what sets it apart. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon747 98 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 BTW. This is the best VC looks-wise for an Airbus product in FSX to date. BY FAR. Got my damn excited I must say. I am lucky that it will be relativevly easy to fly with not too many systems to learn so people in the same shoes as me can get out and really see the sky that FSX has to offer. It will be a great compliment to ut2, rex 2, gex, utx, your awsome U.S city packs and airport packs! Awesome job so far again! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon747 98 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 No worries cmja320. I have been simming off and on with MSFS realted products since I was a kid of 6 back in 1986! Just do flights when i get a sec between uni and work etc. I mainly use ATC guided flights along with GPS and ILS etc. I know its basic, but its just a game and thats me at the present stage:) Your feedback seems constructive and useful even if I was all greek to me;) lol, the product looks good and will hopefully get me out of the damned default 737-800!! Keep up the good eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I understand what you mean. I may have not followed all the procedures to the letter, we are testing and trying to find issues. My shots were just to show you how nice everything looked And don't worry about the advanced version I'm positive it will be done later on. I think the main goal right now is getting a stable, realistic, good looking airbus. To be very honest, it goes way further than what was planned last summer! It just got better and better BUT remains accessible to all without reading 500 pages... Don't forget that we don't all have the chance of being a real world airbus pilot Keep in mind this was never supposed to be a pro aircraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a real pilot, but I agree with your comments. The errors on the FMA were very glaring, and really distract from the rest of the project. I'm hoping these are recognized as bugs in the beta, and not accepted as okay for a simplified version of the Airbus. Curt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julianETIC 3 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 As far as I can remember they are used to adjust the lighting for the "table". If that is what you mean. (Please correct me if I'm wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimPilot767 157 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 The black switch and rotary-knob at the window-column is for the lighting of the chart-holder (below). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cmjA320 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I still think that red pin is too far forward. Have a look here: Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AngelsAndAirwaves Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 mathijs one general airbus question, on ground , you control the front gear with this "stick/tiller" on this picture, true? cause with the pedal you can only control the vertical tail and the breaks? (on the picture i mean the black stick beside of the airbus joystick) Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cmjA320 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 The rudder pedals allow some degree of nose wheel steering on the ground,but generally the tiller is used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limp 29 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 In FS I've never seen the tiller represented, I think it's not a supported feature, the airbus is controlled with the rudder on the ground... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limp 29 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Of course I was refer to the fact that FS does not model/use a tiller, not that it's not used in real life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
