Nice shots, definitely liking what I'm seeing. I'm still waiting for the Aerosoft Airbus X Advanced, and I'm quite sure I will buy that one and fly until FSL releases theirs. As it is, I fly the Airbus X quite happily already. It makes for some really calm flights (after installing the Lua scripts so I can use the Saitek throttles with FSUIPC and installing the third-party FBW plugin)

Looks great, but are there any plans to make a 330 and 340? I know nothing about Airbus systems, am a Boeing guy, but will buy this and learn it. (I guess to properly fly I'll have to use a joystick as my "side stick" instead of my trusty CH Yoke.

Hope they can overcome the Airbus Curse and deliver a good product. Guess afterwards they could make the 318, 319 and 321 in a much shorter timespan with all the foundation work done.

The 330 and 340 will follow the 320 series (19/21).

Btw OP. Those shots are amazing. Thanks for the heads up.

You're welcome Zach!

You tease Andrew!

*******, this is too good to be true. You're doing the A330 which is one of my favourite airliners ever. Thank you, can't wait to fly it in Thomas Cook and Air Portugal colours.Thank you!!!! (i'm going nuts!)Oh! um...er... Please don't forget the A318, it's not widely used, but it's awesome and, well, cute :(

+1!I'm not a massive Airbus fan, prefer flying rather than pressing buttons but the A318 is soooooooo cute as NaMcO says.

A330 is the coolest looking Airliner in the skies.

SOmethign doesnt look right with the MCP in the first VC shot, the fonts look very strange....

It's the Airbus font - it matches the one used on the real aircraft perfectly. Maybe the image compression makes it look a little different.

The 330 and 340 will follow the 320 series (19/21).

Great news! Way to go! But I get the feeling that we have to wait a while for those planes to happen in FSX. However, nice reading about them being on the list.

The wait should not be too long. Airbuses were conceived with cockpit system commonality as a major design goal, in order to make them attractive to airlines because of the ease in training multiple type certifications for line pilots. In fact, one or two Airbus models require little more caution on type certifications than to advise pilots to beware of over-rotating the aircraft on take off, in order to avoid a tail strike on longer models, and to watch out for different wing-tip clearances and turn arcs when maneuvering in the airport environs. So much so that many airline SOPs for several different Airbus models such as the A320, A321 and A330 actually come in one big all-encompassing binder, with simple stick out page tabs dividing the sections pertaining to individual aircraft types. That's indicative of how similar they are in terms of overall systems operation.Good to know the A340 is coming; I think that is the prettiest of the Airbus models, and along with the A380, it is still uniquely able to fly to some places where some ETOPs aircraft cannot do so legally.Al

Al,very true! This commonality however, makes for a much harder "behind the scenes" coding effort so as to fully capture the "spirit of having things feel the same". Those who've flown Class D simulators will attest to the fact where the A321 is made to behave exactly like the A320, although the lift and drag models are completely different. Same goes for the engines.You can imagine that this causes somewhat of a heartburn for us developing the various birds - but I'll discuss those items a bit more in our forums when the time comes :).

Oh I've no doubt that the fact they enjoy commonality in real life doesn't make it a five minute job for developers to simulate it, but there will doubtless be things which will be sped up by the process too when compared to making a completely different aircraft. Either way, take your time, I'd rather it be done right, than be done soon and wrong.Al

Somebody posted something negative about this plane in the PMDG FB section re:the MCP yesterday or the day before, and yet a lot of thumbs-up here. I have their Concorde, boxed, so am going by that.
