Hello everyone,This is a pure opinion post. Judging on screenshots, Aerosoft and these guys must be kidding. Requiring 20 euro for A320 & 30, whilst PSS sells for about 12 euro and with iFDG's (posky) model, PSS is pure bargain. Their model also doesn't look like utopia, if ya know what I mean! :-)Yes, I'm going only after looks in this post (since I have no idea how LTU2005's systems are), though my opinion is that PSS's systems simulation is good "enough". I mean, we are not training ourselves to fly in real world...OK, I didn't want to insult anyway, this is just a pure opinion as I saw the products!

First of all, I don't have LTU2005, but I can't remember PSS offering their airbusses with different liveries for their aircraft without charging another bundle of euros. And most of all PSS doesn't include three airport sceneries in their package(s), which are known to be famous holiday destinations.No offense intended to you or PSS, I just wanted to show you that a dime has two sides and that Aersoft includes a little more than only the two Airbus models. Anyway, 20 Euros are still a high price to pay and it is up to how you spend them ;-).regards,Christianhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/chrismo/sigsky.jpgVacation: wasted time between 2 flights!

I can't remember PSS offering their airbusses with>different liveries for their aircraft without charging another>bundle of euros.That's why I said iFDG models. Everyone today who is using PSS, is I guess using iFDG models A318-A321. And most of all PSS doesn't include three>airport sceneries in their package(s), which are known to be>famous holiday destinations.I don't see where they are offering that.

Hello Word Not Allowed,I just figured out that you are talking about the single LTU2005 aircraft packages which are available and I was pointing to the full LTU2005 package, which even costs more than 20 EUR.From that point of view, I have to agree with you that the quality price difference are pretty harsh.My fault, pardon! :-)kind regards,Christianhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/chrismo/sigsky.jpgVacation: wasted time between 2 flights!

They are very honest on their site about this package. I qoute:a package that looks good, flies good and focuses on usability. This aircraft is very fast being used by Virtual Airlines and is a favorite for many pilots who fly online. The easy to use systems make it possible to handle all the demanding communications while still being in full control of the aircraft. Do not underestimate this aircraft, just download the manual and see how it reaches a perfect match between features and usability''So there you have it. Its a jump in and fly on medium difficulty with lots of liveries and have fun flying to those nice holiday destinations (when you have the full CD package)I enjoy the PSS and the PIC A320 packages (have them both). But I can see a market for this A320 to. Not everybody want to load the aircraft, program the FMS, talk tpo the flight attendant. Wait 30 minutes for clearence and then finaly fly the bloody aircraft.Just wait until you have a busy daytime job, afamily full off obligations and precious little flying time. You might be in the maket for this A320 light package then :)

It baffles me why people compare this package to the PSS. The LTU package is a simple approach for those who want to just hop in and fly. The PSS package is a full procedural sim. It's like comparing the PMDG 1900's to the Aerowork Beech King Air 200. Also PSS sells in British Pounds - not Euros, and that is a very big difference.I think the problem is people miss the whole point of the LTU package - it's just a simple pick up and fly package, as the advertise. No need to read through a manual - just hop in and enjoy. Also the LTU package comes with a pile of repaints - whereas PSS actually makes you buy the repaints.Summary - LTU and PSS products are completely different, and aimed at totally different markets.

It looks like a nice enough package, but E Marciano's freeware A320/330 panels with IFDG/Posky or Flightcraft models is just as functional or better imho and you can't beat the price :)As for the PSS - I'm always amazed that I got so much for the base price, worse they have 1/2 price sales!Still, the thing does sell they say so more power to them :)regards,MarkXPHomeSP2/FS9.1/3.2HT/1GIG/X700pro256

>It looks like a nice enough package, but E Marciano's>freeware A320/330 panels with IFDG/Posky or Flightcraft models>is just as functional or better imho and you can't beat the>price :)That's what I just wanted to say. Marciano's panel + iFDG model (+ very huge choice of liveries, much more than LTU) + cfm/iae engine sounds from avsim = 0 euro = better looks + same or better functionality. Add to that PSS panel (merge is available in the avsim library) for 15 euro = the most realistic A320/A330 available today for FS2004.

The recently released Airbusses from Aereosoft are complete and utter crap. Probably a shoe-in for the worst addon of 2005. The modelling looks like something straight out of FS98. I can live with the simplified avionics, but this, as I've said before, an abomination.ricardo

Not if you want a vc. I've been flight simming for about 4 years, and still don't have time for full procedures, or even care about them right now. Family and career have priority. So I've been looking for a good A320 that didn't require a lot of manual reading. I love the looks of the IFDG version, but really prefer a vc (haven't they been working on one?). Aerosoft's new 'bus seemed to be the solution. But it's a mixed bag. Pros: Fairly accurate modelFairly nice vcGreat features on the panelGreat soundsPretty comprehensive avionicsLots of liveries with a paint kit possiblePrice (2 Models at $11 each plus liveries ain't bad these days)Cons:Textures are a let-downSeam around aft fuselageContact point problemUgly panelDynamic shine too much (my opinion)Modeled cabin so external view takes an fps hitI haven't taken a real anal look at it yet, but my overall impression was that this is a great concept, but fell a little short in the execution. Still, if I can spruce up the textures, I'll be pretty happy for now. The best way to get a feel for it is to download the manual on Aerosoft's website. Hope this has been helpful.Todd
