In that case... You did nothing wrong and I'm sorry!! @@Johnny767 Please be nice. Read my first post in this thread as that warning is now directed at you.

What happened to AVSIM
April 27, 201313 yr Author but i can only frequencies between 118 and 136... no ILS frequency. What do i need to do?
April 27, 201313 yr but i can only frequencies between 118 and 136... no ILS frequency. What do i need to do? My mistake: Insert the ILS freq in the ILS line on the left hand side. Don't use the upper VOR line, but the lower ILS line. It's the same receiver, but entry lines differ. You have to enter the ILS course separately. What happened to AVSIM

Flight control settings should be configured as per the manual; with standard settings the AXE feels way too "heavy". You have to assign a throttle axis (or two, if you want to) to the AXE (no keyboard thrust control except for idle and reverse). Rudder pedals recommended, but in normal law the RW Airbus has autorudder, too. You can activate the autorudder in the AXE options, as well. AXE is on sale by Aerosoft this weekend only with a discount of 25% off its nominal price. May still not be the best shop in town, so compare ... What happened to AVSIM

April 27, 201313 yr Any issues, refer to http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/forum/517-airbus-x-extended/ They are very helpful.

April 27, 201313 yr the Airbus works very well but could someone maybe tell me where to enter the ILS frequency..? You select the ILS runway in the CDU then click the "LS" button on the MCP to activate it. Richie Walsh
April 27, 201313 yr I have the AXE and the BBS Prologue. Of the two, the AXE is getting better and better, whereas the Prologue is disappointing me more and more. Functional systems modelling is about the same, and flight dynamics are now better in the AXE (best Prologue version was V.61, IMO). The VC of the AXE is considerably better, and in a different league, if eye candy is your thing. Frame rates are about equal. There is great vision behind Aerosoft, and it is a reputable company, but I'd rather not comment about other rather less established developers; for instance, Blackbox have withheld ten gorgeous user repaints from their downloads section for about 5 months and counting for no other reason than being "too busy". Prologue repaints are few and far between. I'm planning on buying all future AXE derivatives, but no more mistakes on less able Airbus representations or representatives.

You do know thew Prologue is a beta build, right? You are comparing the Prologue to v1.04 of a fully released retail product? You also mentioned that systems modeling is about the same...and the AXE is just now surpassing the BBS A32X series with regards to the FDE? The BBS actually sounds pretty darn good if it's that close to the AXE even though it's still in Beta. Makes me sort of think the AXE is lacking. Also, doesn't Avsim have a bunch of liveries for the Prologue? I think that says something about the equality of the BBS offering (which I don't own)....think I may pick it up though!

April 27, 201313 yr Purchased and downloaded the axe but can't install due to that really annoying windows file copy error even with virus checker off and using different drives.. Will try again later and also different mirrors... With today's lightning dl speeds I find it always takes longer to dl a zip and uncompress than just dl the original file which is only gonna be 10pc larger at most. Wish there was option to dl the original.. The sound pack file dl went perfect (uncompressed). <br />Can't wait to load up this great plane from what seems a developer with great customer rapport but will just have to wait a little longer to get past this hurdle I guess <br /><br />Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br /> Russell Gough SE London
April 27, 201313 yr It's cat and mouse really. These are two currently available products, and both are receiving regular updates, plus both have significant future plans. What's the difference really, except for "in development" or "continual development"? I didn't say repaints weren't available, but they're not in the same numbers as AXE paints. I'm not going to say to you or anyone else to save your money, you need to make your own informed decisions, though for me the BBS is one of those regretfully sour purchases; it could be so good. BTW, it's not always the product that is most at fault. It's also, for me, a matter of respect; I feel that Aerosoft deserves the custom that it gets, and that they appreciate their customers. I cannot say the same for BBS, but please do find out for yourself. I enjoyed a truly great flight in the AXE the other evening - it really was in a different class to the BBS. It's a very polished product, something I'd forgotten. I wish you well in your decision!

April 27, 201313 yr As fabs says... So much easier to fall in love with a plane after the dev has gained your respect first.. Cos you WANT to love it from the start<br /> <br />Also nothing in life is perfect but when a dev strives to continually improve the product after purchase they get my vote every time over a dev that states it's done like it or lump it we got other projects now... <br /><br />Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br /> Russell Gough SE London
