Mine is the Regular version.....In any case they did wrong by putting out a buggy product.I should have never fallen for it.M.

Version 1.0b is available for FSX too! (at least the upgrade version Vol.1 Deluxe)Patric

They have your money, so they should deliver, plain and simple.I'm still on the fence about getting this upgrade, and would gladly put up with some of the limitations of the product if I knew there was a valid support forum to get some customer service. Seems like this thread at AVSIM is as close as it gets to support.....jfv, did you upgrade from the "standard" version of Volume 1? I never did the initial upgrade that seems to be rolled into this latest upgrade, so am not sure what the incremental benefits would be for me. I think someone else asked this question earlier in this thread, it's hard to see what people are upgrading from, I guess....Thanks, Bruce.

I have had vol 1 deluxe and vol 2 for a number of years. Since my last posting I've flown iton a number of additional flights, and I now am not feeling that bad about the money spent,in fact, I'm thinking about upgrading vol 2 also.I'm still not that enamored with the HUD but I'm now convinced that the ILS works, I don't knowwhat went wrong on that flight into Chicago, but have had two landings I'm completely satisfiedwith now so its not broken. Of course, I probably should have been more 'scientific' to determinejust what has been added... oh well. I have also had the weather radar working again, but looking at it realistically its just not thatbig a thrill to me. I too got email about a subsequent version, or I think that's what it was, Wilco should really handlerelease deltas or changes more explicitly, making it clear on the what and why and who :( I still wish I had the graphics of the Aerosoft VC in this thing, or rather the shame of that thing isthey didn't give it the full pro avionic/AP package, I'd be flying it instead if they had, I really like it in all other ways. (maybe someone there will be convinced to mend their errant strategy :( )Its tough for small businesses these days, real tough, and I understand Wilco is just trying to stayin business, I certainly don't wish them ill, I also know as in my own career, there's always room forimprovement, and I hope to see it.The bottom line IMHO - if someone has never bought this package and is considering Wilco, it would besilly not to buy Evolution. I would also say that whatever might be better, its still the overall bestchoice. Aerosoft really looks good, sounds good, but the way the FMS works is like one of those aftermarket things... you know, it gives the illusion you have something more that builtin but you reallydon't, you load a flight plan from the sim menu, do a few mindless button clicks and fly... And hey,for some that's cool, but if you want a flight computer that actually manipulates the flight plan onthe fly... Wilco is the best choice.For users that own it already, I would think about what you're dissatisfied with now, and then look atwhat the upgrade gives you. For me the improvement in flight plan and SID/STAR handling was why i spentthe money, sure it'd be nice if it was free, but its not, get over it and either buy it or don't.

Thanks, jfv, for some additional context to this topic.Bruce.

I fully agree with you on this one. Now, the metric altimeter works, so maybe not really worth the money, but all in all no better choice when it comes to Airbus, so far.I've received a number of replies from their support, it would be so much easier for them to have a forum and inform their clients, it seems a new installer should be released soon.

I have regolaur version of V1 Deluxe and V2, now i have bought the evolution upgrade for them.I have flown a lot with the old version and now i'm flying the evo.I have read all the replyes in this post and i have decided to talk about my experience.I have done a fresh install of V1 Deluxe and V2 after that i have installed the evolution for both. Now i have installed the airac cycle 1104 from navigraph.My first impression is that the flight model is better i had no problem with autopilot or autothrottle. Using X52 PRO the throttle works correctly in clb flex or toga position.The problem of TOD in 1° version was the VS 6000 FT/MIN. After 6 flight with a descent from FL 360 and 390 i have noticed a max of 4000 FT/MIN using FSpassenger i had no penalityes, is still a bit high but now during descent the engines are in idle mode always.Near 12000 FT it start to slow speed to reach 250 Knots.The Star restrictions i have seen have worked as aspected. For now i had no problem with LOC and ILS approach.I have noticed that wheater radar works well only during climb or descent. In cruise i never seen storm or other signals from it but with Active sky i have seen that at my flight level there was nothing so i suppose that the tilt is set to follow the pitch of aircraft.I don't use the HUD personally i would prefer some more clickabels button.I think that now is not terrible as described i'm not a Wilco a really excited user but for now is the most complex bus we can have. I'm waiting for FSLABS and i'm sure thery will do a better aircraft. For now i'm happy with my bus and i'm waiting for the future. The only two things i'm disappointed are that they have not done a graphical restyling, but only a few little fix and that there's not a support forum.Is not the best aircraft i have but is flyiable it works and the most complex bus in the market for now so if you want a bus i suggest it. Theay are already working on it so let's give them a chance, for me Wilco is not comparable to Ariane or Airsimmer.

Hi,I'm not having the same experience and hope someone can help. There are several either pilot errors or ugly bugs with the Evo upgrade from Deluxe version 1 that I'm seeing.1. The autopilot randomly disconnects during stable climb, stable cruise and stable descent. Have not a clue why.2. When the autopilot disconnects the plane does a nose dive. Is that what an airbus does? Shouldn't it maintain the same profile?3. The calculated descent profile including TOD is woefully wrong. I end up with positive way-point altitude restrictions on descent. In other words way point 1 is calculated to be say 18,000 feet. The next way-point crossing calculation is 20,000 feet. It makes no sense and I can't figure out how to edit the T/D in order to adjust the entire descent profile. Any Airbus pointers will be appreciated. Thanks.Bob.. :)

When installing the upgrade version, does the installer look for the earlier version to be installed, or does it need a key inputted that came with the original version? I have changed my e-mail address since purchasing the original version, and while I still have the original key and the original aircraft is installed, with no Wilco forum I don't wish to be having install / activation issues with the upgrade.Thanks, Bruce.

I would get your original straightened out. Do you not have an account with Wilco? Anyone that purchases a downloadableproduct from them should. When you log into that account you can change email if memory serves.When you install the upgrade it needs a live internet connection which I'm pretty sure means its going to verifythe original that its 'upgrading'.

on vol.2 evo, can someone confirm that the wheel and engine animations are off? Meaning: some of the steps in the animation are not there.P.S. that we are shafted on this "EVO" thing isn't really a surprise; the Wilco/feelThere dysfunctional family hasn't changed a tic: http://forum.iemit.com/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=5913P.S.S. Apparently, the answer is: "tough luck dude, we have your money: http://forum.iemit.com/Default.aspx?g=posts&m=33082脺"oddly, the Wilco site says this:

Airbus Series Evolution requires Microsoft Flight Simulator X or 2004 to run. Airbus Series Evolution is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP 32 bits, Vista 32 bits, Seven 32-64 bits. All aircraft liveries previously installed must be reinstalled after Airbus Series Evolution installation.

So, I wonder if this has any bearing in the matter?http://www.euroconsumatori.org/16856v18340d18365.htmlThe wheel animation hangup in Win7 and FSX SP2 is a defect making the above quoted claim untrue.

Thanks jfv. I'm away from home this weekend, so haven't even tried to do any thing on the AB Evolution. I'm also still "out" on whether I'm going to buy this upgrade, but having a real flight coming up in the next 6 weeks on a 318 (Frontier), I'm sure I would like to replicate that flight as much as possible (KAUS-KDEN). But who knows, the NGX may be here by then, after which all bets will be off on what I will want to fly.... :)Thanks for all your help. Bruce.

What does feelThere's forums have to do with Evolution? They have said morethan once on here that they had nothing to do with this, its a Wilco product,and for those that don't understand this, they aren't the same :( Wilco has been a distributor for many feelThere products, but they've alsoworked with other developers, and this is one of those cases. Wilco needs to have their own support forums given that they've done this, I hope someonethere gets that. I've filed a 'support form' for the issue's I've had, we'll see howthat goes...

I can't get weather radar to work in A320 CFM.. it works with other models but in A320 CFM the switch doesn't work (doesn't even move, nothing).On, yeah, and I don't see HUD.. with any model. I always start in VC, so I changed to "Cockpit" and than pressed "W"... nothing... no HUD.I would think I didn't install Evolution properly but the weather radar works in most of the models so I guess I did install it properly.I also can't import flight plan... on their website it says:"look into your FS\Modules directory. You should have a file called "gps_export.dll" and its size should be 6144 bytes. This DLL is provided with FS9.1 and FSX, but some add-ons remove it or replace it with an older version."I don't have this dll. And I looked in FSX DVD and didn't find it either. What's up with that?I previously had E.M. update installed. I didn't see anywhere that I should uninstall it before installing Evolution, so I didn't.

RTM. There is a clickspot on the 2D Panel to activate the HUD.

If you actually go to the A320 directory under simobjects/aircraft you will find a PDFof Evolution notes, this is VERY important to look over. I suppose Wilco should havespammed this thing in your face at the end of install, although I imagine lots wouldstill exit out and not read it :( I've not tried every model yet, so can't swear about the radar, but seems unlikely,I'll have a look tonight.

How do you import, load from the flight planner, then go to DATA, import FS plan or whatever, right? That's what I do. I didn't realize there was some special dll for it, will look this evening. What happens when you try to do this, nothing?Must be some way to recover that dll, I'd go google for it.
