FSX: FSL A320

[Jazzfan 57]

  I agree that it isn't the nicest vc that is out there. Once this thing gets out in the hands of the general public, I am sure that some talented painters will be giving this thing a facelift inside and out. Personally, I am going to wait for the P3D version, which I think will be a bit more refined than this beta release.

Seems many are waiting for P3D version hint hint FSLabs  :wink:

    I'm not in a hurry for the P3D version, I mean, we have a new 64 bit sim on arrival from DTG. I am curious to see what that brings. If FSL have to redevelop the A320X for P3D, I would prefer they spend their efforts on programming for x64. X32 seems like such a gamble for FSL, and for simmers, at this point in time. I am well aware, that FSX, FSX-SE, P3D v3, are not going anywhere. My choice, is to focus on the future, whatever that entails.

I'll be on the P3D 32BIT version for a long time

In my opinion the cockpit textures of FSLabs's A320 look more realistic than the more eye-candy visuals of aerosoft's version. For example take a look at the digits on the FCU which in aerosoft's version look much taller than what they are in a real A320. Also various buttons and knobs show some wear and tear in FSL which again look more realistic. Aerosoft's cockpit looks too clean and sterile.

Am I living on a different planet to the rest of you? The VC of the PMDG 737 NGX looks really nice to me, and what I can see of the FSL Airbus A320 VC looks.....really nice. I am confused :huh:

FSL Airbus A320 VC looks fine but not exterior - playing with spec files may change that - well see looks like it will be a long wait for P3D version

Very nice shots, Mike. The VC is very crisp. No doubt, this is a fantastic bird.

Will get the P3D version surely.

Yeah, I agree.  This is yet another opinion based conversation when you talk about beauty and what looks more real.  Same thing we all went through with ASCA when that was released and you had all these cloud experts chiming in about how real or unreal they were.  Here again, we have most(if not all?) who have commented here on whether AS or FSLabs is better or more real looking but I bet most(all?) have never stepped foot in a real A320 flight deck.  So, again, this is all just each individual's perception.

Hand flying this Airbus is really extremly nice!

You feel the inertia, it´s not super direct, it has a certain weight to it. But it´s very agile and feels true to life!

And, sorry, but somehow, I can´t understand what you guys mean when you say that the VC looks "bad", or not on par with other recent releases.

It´s super crisp, perfectly textured, and the DU´s, with their true to life fonts and colors, are top notch, at least in my opinion...

 

I´ve just finished another flawless IVAO flight from LOWS to EDDL.

Ever been in the cockpit of a brand new Airbus? They look clean and sterile but only for a while.

Texturing can go a long way so that said downloaded the paint kit and looks great so I think this will be on the buy list just need to figure out the windowed mode thing - might not be an issue in P3D - could someone with this knowledge answer this as painting this looks like a dream to do compared to carenado stuff this is easy stuff  :wink:

I got the kit too. Looks pretty straight forward to paint.

 

I'm just getting started on adding lots of details
