Alex, my friendly advice is to wait for FSL anyway, I see no sense in buying unfinished, unflyable, or maybe just not good enough airbus. I uninstaled BBS already, and i'm waiting for FSL. I will post here anyway if BBS bus someday becomes good enough

Yikes. Ok, if the outcome gets better or if some stuff turns out to be 'just' bug related, keep us posted.

Sure. But i'm not saying that BBS is bad or something like that. Keep in mind that I I have some high standards for planes, i fly only maddog, PMDG MD11 and NGX in fsx. So, maybe someone like BBS at this stage, for me just isn't good enough.

That Airbus case is tricky. The BBS isn't really ready (from the reports), the Aerosoft may be too light (for some) and the FSL isn't there but already receives that pressure to be the perfect FSX addon in '1.0'. ^_^

 

Oh, there's the old Wilco too. :lol: I liked it though.

I don't like these kind of business models, paying for alpha or pre-beta versions to fund someones development costs and maybe waiting for the final product I've already paid for, over years.

 

It's no problem waiting for a patch or service pack because no software is without faults at release, but in my opinion, the BBS bus is far from release stage at the moment.

This version is definitely better. Handles better, models are nicer and better painted, sounds were improved, ND is improved (although it still needs fixes) and it follows the flightpath really close.

 

One important thing (needs more testing) is accurate TOD, obeying restrictions, accurate time prediction over a waypoint and fuel prediction. Very nice job! I can't wait to see the final version of these babies with everything in place (or so they promised) and the ND line drawing issues fully fixed. Serious Aerosoft contender as is.

 

The new A318 P&W is so cute i can't stop flying it :lol:

I like the newer BBS as well. I have to say I like the aerosoft Vc better tho. Even if the 0.6 is better than the 0.54 I still can't get over the fact that when I look out the window I see the lights of the wing but the wing is not there. BBS do not want to add the wings because they claim it would add nothing to the simulation but yet they added what is supposed to be the nose but to me it looks like an artifact.

 

 

If you want to buy a bus and money is an issue I suggest you wait for the fslabs one.

We have no idea on when the FSL will be with us, there has been some movement recently,

 

I refuse to buy the Aerosoft one for many reasons.

 

FSL is where it is at, but I would love a A319 and BA A318 to JFK from London

I have try'd this version but the CH toe brakes don't work anymore with this aircraft and are assigned via FSX and not Fsuipc.For me is very showstopper. You have this problem?

I must say im enjoying v0.6 its way more stable than previous versions, the model looks great and i like the vc.

 

It hand flys very nicely and the fbw is improved also.

 

I give these guys their due, yes it may seem to some like we've paid to beta test but they are always willing to listen to constructive criticism and implement things requested (within reason) and they seem to come up with the goods... As they head towards v1 it promises to become better and better.

 

It does have problems that need addressing but im confident this 2 man team will get there.

Cristiano, i don't use pedals (yet), so i wouldn't know...

 

Here's my 318 enroute...

 

I hope they add the A315 too!

You need an extra rating for that one. Because of the doors. ^_^

I hope they add the A315 too!

 

Lol!

:LMAO:

Still lot of buggs, toe brakes are not working, contact points on A320 are wrong(they wrote about this on facebook page), i can't set squawk, still no load manager etc. I expected more from this version.

 

Do you run the full version of FSUIPC? I've had my controller axes setup via FSUIPC for a while now and found that if you set up each toe brake (left and right pedal) and send control input data 'direct' to FSUIPC rather than FSX then it works. Just make sure to also set each pedal to reverse on the FSUIPC calibration settings.
