Finally, a good A320

Post by Michael Blakely »

I've been on the hunt for a good A320 with MCDU for years. All the ones I've tried (Project Open Sky, Wilco) have been buggy. I finally tried the Aerosoft Airbus and I'm in heaven! I love this plan.

Flying around Europe on this bid, but can't wait to take it in and out of KLAX soon.

Mike, though I'm not a fan of the Airbus, I do have the Aerosoft A320/321 and it is a very good a/c. The modeling appears to be very accurate. Have not had any issues with this a/c except for Boeing pilot trying to use Airbus FMC errors. The only issue I've seen with this a/c is that approach speed is very sensitive. Get to slow and it just drops. I don't know if this is a characteristic of the Aerosoft model or one of the RW airplane itself.

That would explain my touchdown VS of -1,231fps on my first flight.

David - I own the FS Labs Concorde and think it's WONDERFUL. However, the release date for their A320 is shrouded in mystery, so for now I'll fly the Aerosoft.

Glad you love this airplane, this is one of my favourite airplane in flight simulation, other being the PMDG 777.I am sure you will have a lot of time enjoying this airplane just like i always have.
