[Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558]

People kept telling me that the previous preview topic was too long and it was hard to find the info. I caved and started this new one. All on this list is possible still fluid and in motion. Read it as such, new stuff is marked in green.

General

• Simulation of the Airbus A320 and A321 focused on the day to day operation of the aircraft from the left seat.
  
• Five models: A320 IAE engines, A320 CFM engines,A321 IAE engines, A321 CFM engines, A320 NEO demonstrator (standard A320 with sharklets).
  
• Late model cockpit (with LCD and updated ADIRS).
  Note we do default to the A321 CFM cockpit for all models (that is is also flown with N1 displays btw).
  
• Twenty-one liveries, extensive paint kit. Over 100 additional liveries available on release.
  
• Sublime modeling/texturing based on the latest technologies. Very easy on frame-rates.
  
• Landing lights, taxi lights, taxiway turn-off lights created with best technology that actually lights up objects.
  
• Dozens of non-standard animations, all with sound effects (sun screens, windows, tables, tiller, jump seat, standby compass etc).
  
• Included web server that allows you to access (and use) the MCDU via any web browser, ideal for tablet computers.
  
• Automated State Save that saves (and loads) all the aircraft systems when the standard FSX save (load) option is used.
  
• Extensive options to show ground objects (cones, ground power etc) and to actually provide ground power.
  
• All doors and cargo hatches can be opened.
  
• Many systems programmed in XML so allows users to change code.
  
• Extensive manuals, with highly detailed step by step section.
  
• Prepared for Airport Enhancement Services. Fully compatible with GSX.
  
• SDK will be available, LINDA connectivity already in progress.
  
• Add-in system that allows the aircraft to be extended with 3rd party applications (all using the right MCDU).
  
• Add-in View system: adds many pre-defined views for easy use, emulates 2D panel views.
  
• Add-in Sound system: adds hundreds background sounds to enhance the immersion.
  
• Add-in Checklist system: semi automated audio checklists.
  
  Systems
  • Fully custom Fly-by-Wire systems with flight envelope protection, stall protection, pitch and roll limiter, g-load limiter, over speed protection, Alpha Floor protection, auto trim. Very nice to manually fly.
    
  • Fully custom Autopilot systems, with full Cat III auto land, VSI, Managed, Heading and Nav modes. VNAV and LNAV included.
    
  • Fully custom Thrust computer systems (FADEC), throttle with detents, flex take-off.
    
  • Full featured MCDU (can be controlled via web browser, for example on tablet computers), can be used with standard keyboard!
    
  • Flight plans supports SIDs, STARs, Holdings, Managed Climbs and Descent and Constraints.
    
  • Comes with NavDataPro (LIDO) navigation database (better coverage then Navigraph) but backwards compatible with Navigraph.
    
  • Complete Runway Awareness and Advisory System included.
    
  • Full featured Quick Access (Data) Recorder (QAR) with 25 hour storage capacity and external display program (data can be exchanged with FS Flight Keeper).
    
  • Full features ADIR system.
    
  • Full feature TCAS system (including audio warnings)
    
  • Full custom bus system, with realistic battery run down and voltages.
    
  • Navigation display with curved lines, decluttering, stopwatch, selected navaid, runway information, stopwatch etc.
    
  • Full custom fuel flow, avoiding standard FSX limitations.
    
  • Full custom autobrakes with constant deceleration instead of constant brake pressure.
    
  • Full featured loading and refueling module (interfaced with FSX) with advanced and easy mode.

      • Contains in total 16 Checklists from COCKPIT PREPARATION to PARKING
        
      • Checklists mainly start automatic based on the flight situation p. e. the BEFORE TAKE CL automatically starts when plane reaches the runway holding point, DESCENT PREPARATION CL 9 NM from TOD etc.
        
      • Orally spoken checklist items by the PF and confirmed by the PnF
        
      • Option included that the PnF also performs certain settings (gear up, flaps settings etc.) which are part of the checklists
        
      • Infobar displaying the next manually to be taken action
        
      • Integration of AES functionality (optional) e.g. different pushback procedures if AES is installed
