I was wondering if any of you "Bussies" got ahold of the Beta of the Airsimmers A320?

I had a chance to fly that at the AVSIM convention in KSEA and was pretty impressed. The FBW Logic seemed really well done, and comparing what I remember to the Volume 1 Wilco A320 puts the Airsimmer WAY out in front.

Let us know if you have it, and what you think.

Hi Russ

I'm part of the Extended team, and so have been fiddling with the bus for quite a while.

We have a strict nondisclosure clause, so I can't be saying too much, but from what I've been seeing, this is going to be one for the history books. The level of detail (either implemented already or planned) is amazing. All the Arinc legs are planned, full (and I mean FULL) FBW, all systems fully modeled... Abnormal checklists on the ECAM... the whole lot.

I can't be sure how long it is still going to take to reach full fruition, but let me tell you, this is the real thing... or as close as anyone can get without putting their bedroom on hydraulic jacks.

sorry for the ranting and raving, but this time I think it is deserved

Thanks Eric. I knew it was gonne be whiz-bang when I first saw it, and now it looks as if NO ONE will be disappointes, except maybe with the price

Russ

You say "putting your bedroom on hydraulic jacks" like it's a BAD thing!

Well, actually.... errrr no, it ain't a bad thing.

Gotta convince the missus now...

Let me know how that works out for you
