Hi! Folks,

 

I think that FlightSimLabs A320 will be release in July, 2016. The prove is Navigraph already released Airac cycle 1607 as below:

 

 

 

Bad news no P3D version yet, only FSX  and FSX:SE.

 

:smile:

 

 

 

That's good news!

I  believe  it  when i  actually released,  no news  on the  actual fslab  forum as of  yet

I'll be curious about how it compares to the Aerosoft one.  I'm sure it will be better but in what ways?  Looking forward to reviews.

Yea  be  interesting  when it  comes  out,  suppose it be  like  comparing  the  ifly737  to  pmdg 737 ngx

Hope so!

 

But to be fair, Navigraph having that format listed could just be one entry on FSL's project plan, that may still have another 3 months of milestones to achieve before release.

The FSL version will be more of a "study sim" featuring failures, abnormal operations, etc., just like what PMDG do. We're as the Aerosoft Bus is set up for "normal" operations with no failures and perhaps not 100% system functionality. Not to say that the FSL will have 100% system functionality either due to the confines of it being a desk top sim, but it will be more in depth than the Aerosoft version.

 

I don't own the Aerosoft Bus and don't have any interest in either since I'm not an Airbus fan, but from what I've read, those are the main differences.

Yeah, Aerosoft calls it 'lite'.  I fly it and think "this is lite?"  There are no GA aircraft that I'm aware of with that much system depth.  Navigraph, functional FMS, fully functional autopilot, great framerates...no crashes, no ugly graphics, fully LINDA/FSUIPC compatible.  The closest you could get is the 70 year old A2A PA24 or the RealAir offerings.  Would it be misguided to ask them to package all that code into a rock-solid modern GA aircraft?

The aerosoft bus does not fly like a real bus, FSL claims theirs flies like a real bus not only In normal law but alt and abnormal alt as well. This would be why the FSL bus took 6 years to develop.

 

It also appears that FSL created their own ground modeling outside the sim for realistic taxi, single engine taxi,T/O run and rollout behavior.

 

The FSL bus comes with a much better lighting system and ASN WXR.

 

That is just a couple of differences, long story short if accuracy matters then you want the FSL bus

2 things...

 

First, you have never seen that amount of coding and systems work in a GA airplane because the amount of systems in a GA airplane is far less than what's in an airbus.

 

Secondly, to answer you last question....just read my first paragraph. Two vastly different types of airplanes. If you flew the pmdg 737 or 777, you would go to the airbus and immediately know it is a "lite" product.

It's the stark difference with what's offered in GA that I was referring to.  It's almost a desert.  Nothing even comes close to what we have in the 737s, 777, 747s, Q400, A3xx, DC10, and even more.  If you do get a Nav system in a GA it'll likely cause a CTD, horrible framerates or both.  If you got a Nav system with the functionality of the Aerosoft A320 in a GA you'd think 'holy crap!...Navigraph too?!...working FLC?!...VNAV?!...great framerates?!...no crashing?!'  It'd be a whole new world.

Proper engine/aircraft performance at last!

I agree with you! It's startling to see the issues which you just mentioned plague GA airplanes. My biggest gripe is that the developers seem to only concentrate on the exterior and interior visual models the most while sorely sacrificing the systems and fee modelling.

 

I woukd love to have some solid biz jets to the pmdg standard. I'm tired of Caren adds offerings. I gave up on them awhile ago because of seeing all the negative reviews.

Great.... I realistically will not expect to see the P3D version until 2017 at the earliest.

I stick with GA and biz jet developers that produce high quality realism. A2A. RealAir. Eaglesoft. I have heard good things about FlySimWare. Other developers are eye candy only.
