I never knew what all the fuss was about with this AEX until I watched this excellent 'walk through'. Lots of features I've never seen in a plane before.

Very nice....  Where do the touch-down lights on the take-off runway come from?  Very nice...

 

Thanks for sharing this, a very well done and impartial review.

 

Bruce.

Thanks for the tip! This has indeed hugely increased performance. I had no idea. Seems crazy that Aerosoft wouldn't have made it clearer that this was an option.

We initially didn't have a Configurator till V1.04~. Thats why the manuals have omitted about the configurator, I will request for the manuals to be updated.

 

Logging is enabled by default as we knew things were going to be initially buggy, and the logging have proven useful so far to solve issues. However, in v1.11, it will be disabled by default as the need for it as debugging tool decreases rapidly.

Imagine a pmdg quality VC wow that would be awesome.

What do you find wrong with the vc, I thinks it's beautiful..

 

Note: not starting something just want to hear your views

I don't think that this VC is of lower quality than PMDG VCs - people think that the Airbus VC lacks details, but this is only because the real one does, too. Just take a look at pictures over at airliners.net.

+1:

 

Autopilot switches are there and so are the sliding tables. What else does it take for an Airbus?!?

Hi Joshua..

 

I cannot help but enjoy this aircraft. It is brilliant.

 

Thanks for all your hard work - and your constant input to these & the AXE forums. I also envy your patience.... :clapping:

 

Regards

Bill

I have found an application which converts FSCommander flight plans to AXE format so I will give it a try. You can get it from http://www.sahince.com/downloads/viewdownload/8-tools/12-convaxe-v12.html

Patience? Joshua???   :rolleyes:  :lol:  :ph34r:

It's my favourite airliner ever released for any version of FS.

 

For me Frame Rates are marginally better than in the NGX.   If I had 26 in the NGX, I'd have 28-29 in the Airbus X Extended.

 

As well as being a brilliantly modelled aircraft, it offers so much more;  Virtual F/O, audio checklist system, views system, ATC sounds and other immersion factors.

 

It's just the best.

 

Right on the money, it's my "most" flown aircraft at the moment. And don't forget Q400_Flyer has re-done the voice of the pilot, so he is in English as he has for the GSX pushback voice. Sorry Dave it had to be said :wink2:

Thanks again Dave.

- Dave's default ground crew voices replacement pack has been finished, too.

- Plus, he's currently working on a British (male) F/O voice replacement pack ...

I installed it today and tried doing a flight but I couldn't find how to set the speed manually. I turn the speed knob and set it but the autopilot still goes with the MCDU plan and it doesn't change. Am I doing something wrong?

You have to change to selected speed first (right mouse click onto the SPD knob).

After the right click, dial in the speed you want to fly at.

Come down to the aerosoft forum, there will be lots of airbus "fellow" pilots there who will assist you (aside from myself.)

I have now other problems. It always says to me a message like "turn on the automatic rudder control" and while I am climbing, the plane doesn't follow the altitude and keeps climbing up and down to high altitudes. This doesn't happen when I load the taxi state and take off. Also when I land to the runway, the plane doesn't turn until i press the commands about rudder control which is ctrl + shift + u. I compared it with PMDG but it gave me lower FPS though I closed all logging.

I'm sorry to see Mathijs has closed your topic so quickly on the official Aerosoft AAX forum ...

 

rudder control: looks to me as if your FSX autocoordination (ailerons/rudder) is turned on. If you use a hardware rudder (pedals or joystick with 'twist') you should have it turned off in both FSX and in the AAX options (right MCDU).

 

altitudes: you'll need to watch your thrust mode - from 1.500 ft AGL upwards you should be in mode 'CLB' - be careful not to stay in TOGA. If it reads 'TOGA LK' some speed/stall protection automatically has been activated and you'll have to switch A/THR off and back on again to get rid of the 'L(OC)K'.

 

fps: additionally you can turn off the web browser MCDU and lower the number of items on the ND (use the AAX Configurator as you did to disable the logging).
