Not easy, but quite doable.The fact that Boeing and Microsoft are both US companies is about as relevant as the fact that "airbus" and "unsafe" both have the letter "A" in them.I think the reality is that the integrated avionics on the ScareBus are so complex that it takes a great deal of effort to do even a small part of them right...and by doing less than all of it you have to leave a significant part of the functionality out, because it's all interconnected.

Hey Darren, did not know you were a driver for the bus. I have a good friend who flew for Dragonair. Other than FBW (Which PMDG would not attempt if they could not nail in my own opinion) all other aspects are pretty well covered as you state. I myself have access to alot of airbus data from sources.. ...............Randy J. Smith................CAUTION! My views represent no one but my own.

Also looked at your pictures... Great photos there!!Now is that what first officers do while the captain is fying the bird ? ;-)

>The fact that Boeing and Microsoft are both US companies is about as >relevant as the fact that "airbus" and "unsafe" both have the letter >"A" in them.I like that quote Bob!Cheers,

>Very helpful! Where does it give that data my friend?Hi Howard,Try this for a starter http://www.jet-engine.net/civtfspec.htmlhttp://www.pilotosdeiberia.com/areatec/air.../23fbw_evol.htmhttp://www.answers.com/topic/aircraft-flight-control-systemsfrom BOEING:http://www2.laas.fr/IFIPWG/Top3/08-Yeh.pdfand from AIRBUS/EADS:http://www.eads.com/xml/content/OF00000000...6/94/639946.pdfcheck also this data applied for FS in this case the 2002 versionhttp://www.apollosoftware.com/products/Fly...ire_english.pdfAlso this forum index may have interesting info: http://www.pprune.org/forums/archive/index.../f-15-p-17.htmlI hope above links and the below zip file will help a little!RegardsALG

Hi AntonioThanks for the links. I've seen most of them and got most of the Airbus info, FCOM's etc. but I ve not seen the first link or the attached pdf before. That was more of what I had in mind when referring to performance.Many thanks.
