July 23, 201411 yr Aerosoft is currently working on the A318/319 buses with fixes and improvements on the base A320 code. These will be rolled back into the A320 as required. Much more functionality will be implemented, but it will still be aimed at the entertainment market. That's not a bad thing - I enjoy the heck out of the extended bus, but will also pick up the FSL bus when it's available. DJ
July 23, 201411 yr These will be rolled back into the A320 as required. My understanding is that is not true. These are all new products and carry an upgrade price Ian R Tyldesley
July 23, 201411 yr My understanding is that is not true. These are all new products and carry an upgrade price Yeah, charging for a service pack is something I find unacceptable. I'm not [planning on] buying it for that reason. Regards, Jeremy Chesney
July 23, 201411 yr The A318/319 are new products and will be charged accordingly. The technology and added features will be rolled back into a service update for the A320 - I made no comment about marketing or pricing. DJ
July 23, 201411 yr I wonder if this will ever see the light of day, 4 years and counting. Sadly its turning into a joke. I alway thought hold out till this one comes out but it's like flogging a dead horse. David Murden.

The technology and added features will be rolled back into a service update for the A320 - I made no comment about marketing or pricing. DJ The new features will be added to the A320 FOR A PRICE. The update will not be free but it can be combined with the A318/A319 purchase which will make it slightly discounted. I posted a piece below that states that the aircraft you have now will require a pay-for update to get it to the most recent version. I will not purchase the aircraft because of this. See this thread: http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/82081-airbus-projects-preview/ It says: Upgrade from Airbus X Extended -> Airbus A320/A321 12,11€ (14,95€ incl EU VAT when applicable) Regards, Jeremy Chesney
July 24, 201411 yr Commercial Member Charging for a service pack is something I find unacceptable. Should you feel the upgrade is not worth you money, you can not purchase it, no problem. However, its not a service pack. Its an expansion pack. I personally spent quite a lot of time on the IAE Engines just to nail everything down together with my FDE guy and you want that free? The Weather Radar itself has a development lifespan of over 8 months+ now and you also want that free? I think lets be realistic here. We have already gave improvements on the original extended release by miles, by adding features that we didn't even promise. I think that its reasonable to charge for new features that cost money and time to develop, we are not a charity after all. PS: Sorry for off topic Joshua C. WSSS

July 24, 201411 yr I'm going to buy it. Just comes with the hobby. Shoes cost money. I know Aerosoft has already upgraded my AXE a lot, and even made a patch to make it work with P3D. They are releasing two new versions along with more features than the existing ones. I fail to see why people would question the fee. PMDG does just that....how many varients do they have for the 747 now? 737? 777? Sometimes I don't understand where these issues are. William Sequeira
July 24, 201411 yr I wonder if this will ever see the light of day, 4 years and counting. Sadly its turning into a joke. I alway thought hold out till this one comes out but it's like flogging a dead horse. It has been a long, long wait, and updates are few and far between. I can't believe I am saying this, but it will likely not be out this year. Peter James

I was unaware of most of these efforts concerning expansion of many systems, I just thought it would delete bugs and perhaps just add a small bit of function. I can understand how it may not be able to be added to a former version easily. Regards, Jeremy Chesney
July 24, 201411 yr I think you guys should go over to their Facebook page and have a look as they've actually posted a recent update there. https://www.facebook.com/flightsimlabs?ref=br_tf Looks like they've done some work with HiFi similar to PMDG and have incorporated a working weather radar to use with ASN and even provide a screenshot showing it working in all it's glory.

July 24, 201411 yr Commercial Member In my humble opinion they've had there time and this has run its course for me... Had our time? You mean like AirlinerXP and Air Simmer? We're doing fine - we're quiet because we're busy wrapping up the A320-X. Maybe because most of us at FSL have been developing MSFS products for around twenty years now, we have a different approach: call us old fashioned, but we believe in releasing a complete, tested product. Of course we could flood our forums with updates, screenshots, videos - but you won't get the product any faster. In fact, it derails our development as time then needs to be dedicated to such press releases. What we're doing with the A320-X hasn't yet been accomplished for FSX. We're actually very proud of what we have accomplished in four years, and we're excited to see this project through to completion. Andrew Wilson
