Interesting, hopefully it will see the light of day... Mainly VNAV/LNAV and STARS/DP's is what I'm interested in.

Good luck to them, but it's all stuff we've had with the Wilco bus for ages. The road to a good looking AND comprehensve simulation on a par with THE two Boeings still seems an awful long one.Ian

I wonder how they set up the price for this more advanced aircraft then, especially with that "impressive" start in the basic version with all its flaws, misses and the already high price. See what's included in that package and look for the lines of code needed to make it somehow advanced.There's some FSLabs release coming up, surely targeting the superb detailed and high price marked (offering a high value too, as seen on the Concorde X) and I doubt that Aerosoft goes for a cheap product when thinking of "advanced".I also ask myself how they would deal with the people that already bought the very basic release.Also, the given Airbus product brings Aerosoft nowhere close to a detailed and realistic simulation of an Airbus, except for optics. They still have to introduce main Airbus characteristics (meaning systems) first, so the development won't be quick and cheap.Reading about "between standard and PMDG" might be a nice niche but I'd say Aerosoft's Airbus image already lacks a bit of competence and flair when looking at the current stuff. So some customers might pay the maybe higher FSLabs price to get an aircraft, that can be detailed or easy if you like it to be so.

At first I thought you were a genuine disappointed customer being annoyed about not getting what you wanted. Now I realise the only reason you are negative about aerosoft is because you are deep inside the area where the sun don't shine with FSlabs.http://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/topic/3061-sidstar/ 3rd post. You are a (amateur) tester there. Nothing wrong with that, it just shows you're not completely unbiased.So next time mention you like to kiss areas where the son doesn't shine.... About the labs: I love the concorde so I am looking forward to see what they can do with the airbus. In the meantime I'll enjoy a very nice aerosoft one.

Interesting...

Yes, I want an advanced Airbus A320. I don't care what developer that releases that Airbus. IMO AirbusX is not the advanced A320. It has the potential, but will the advanced version have a 95% functional MCDU with SID/STARS, working VNAV and a good FBW system? That remains to be seen.Will FSLabs deliver an advanced A320? That would be excellent! I'd buy it!Will Aerosoft deliver an advanced AirbusX? That would be excellent! I'd buy it!Would the Phoenix bird arise from the ashes, I'd buy the PSS Airbus A320 X! EDITED: And, Yes, I've talked to Aerosoft about the need to implement a true FBW system to get rid of the sluggish FSX default FBW system :(

Right, must be a big conspiracy then :Talking Ear Off:You are aware about the business relations between FSLabs and Aerosoft? Seems like not, maybe you want to study that forum again and read about the partnership and the friendship too.And maybe you can read even further, which product was tested by me together with other users (Concorde X) and therefor customers like you are one, and which not (Airbus).And some of us did a great job when looking at that quite complex plane, don't you think?I can assure you that I'm in no way related towards FSLabs towards my opinion and I don't think that your sentence

So next time mention you like to kiss areas where the son doesn't shine....

is in any way appropriate to be written in public forums.So your funny arguing about that not so fine but expensive Aerosoft offer (which I own too, doesn't this "bias" me too then?) looks helpless and, as mentioned, inappropriate.Good reasons and facts would have been the preferable way when trying to discuss things.Isn't as convincing as you might thing when the only answer to some (sadly) negative facts about a high priced product is "but I like it".How do you think they pick up the testers then? Most pro-company-biased customer? Well, seems like you have to read some posts more :( Maybe I should have followed your sample then and register a new user name? :( But I'm glad that you looked into the forums at FSLabs and therefor stated your interest in some surely high potential candidate.The niche for a somehow advanced Aerosoft release is a very small one and their basic candidate shows nice optics and close to no Airbus system or style for a far from low price. Call me "biased" or whatever you like (but keep it public forum friendly, please :(), but that won't change the facts about the (advanced) Airbus interested customer, looking for another company after this Aerosoft statement.The only chance for Aerosoft would be an advanced update for their current Airbus customers at an attractive price point.Repeating: I was aware of the missing SID and STAR option in the current offer, but I wasn't (like all the others complaining) about the flaws, the complete Airbus un-like functions and the very, very FSX standard basis on this product for such a high price.Glad you like it in spite of all those lacks.

I also ask myself how they would deal with the people that already bought the very basic release.&The only chance for Aerosoft would be an advanced update for their current Airbus customers at an attractive price point.

You keep going on about this point like it is some make or break issue. Aerosoft have stated on numerous occasions that the advanced version will be a small extra cost for those who already own the "basic" AirbusX. I do not expect it to be more than 15 Euro.

Discussing numbers that never were spoken, but ... 15 Euro would be a fine one, agreed. For existing customers surely an option then, for new ones a difficult decision if other advanced models are available.Exited about the race, maybe like you too.Current PMDG stuff sells for approx 60 Euros, the Aerosoft Airbus then would be a 40+15=55 Euros buy. I wonder how FSLabs goes with the Airbus then. Maybe like their Concorde? 60 Euros too? Hard fight then and in my eyes and some vast amount of work to be done at both companies.
