rjord 86 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I mentioned this in another post today and thought I would mention it here in its own post. Since buying the airbux x extended on the 19th december 2012 I have flown it every day and last night I flew my 104th flight . The airbus is extremely enjoyable to fly and it is very easy to become immersed into believing you are actually flying the real thing. I fly the airbus using Prepar3d with addons such as opusfsx ,mytraffic 2013 and Rex Latitude. I have told friends and family about how realistic the flightsim is and have shown some of them the airbus in action. They were very impressed . Here in Australia I mirror the actual flight taken from which ever airport I am at. I take off at the actual departure time (eg 6:00am) and for example do a 60 minute flight with the expected arrival at for example 7:00am. I have my flight monitored by REX latitude to make sure the airbus x extended passengers have a comfortable flight. When I arrive at the destination airport, I log my arrival time at the gate and match it against the actual arrival time in the real world. So in the example above, I arrived at the gate at 7:04am but I had been flying into a headwind as well. I have nothing but high praise for the airbus x extended and would again like to thank the developers for their work on it. I am not an airbus pilot in the real world but I wish I was but at least I can spend a couple of hours a day pretending to be one and fly actual routes.

acra24 83 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Roy Totally agree! I find it very satisfying if my flight matches a real life one. The only bummer is not collecting the salary of a real pilot... Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleD 1027 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Wow, that's pretty impressive Roy. I figured you must be flying it a lot since you usually provide a lot of good and correct support here to other users! I do thank you for that, you've actually helped quite a bit around here! Keep enjoying, and look forward to SP1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjord 86 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks for the kind words Kyle......... still got a few things to learn about the airbus but it is enjoyable learning along the way. Definitely looking forward to SP1 with what I have seen of the details of it. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
