Aerosoft Airbus for P3D V4 *** Not a vs FSlab post

I never ever perform emergency or abnormal situations. Not my thing so all the extra cost that go into making that available to me really has no value to add...To the way I use the sim that is.

The pickles fall out of the bun the same on both!

Neither do I. But still, FSL A319/320 is such a unique product that there are 1000 things you love about it even though you never touch the above.
I have a few more top quality aircraft parked in my P3D hangar and I keep promising to myself I will fly them next month (to justify spending a lot of money on them). But...I can't. One flight in any of them and... I'm back in my virtual A320 seat.

Anyway, it wasn't supposed to be a 'vs FSLabs' thread, so I apologise for breaking it, but I had to write it to give you a different perspective.
Many simmers believe this is emergencies we pay extra for. But ho ho ho, there is so much more. 🙂

I'm interested also. Does anyone run this with Windows 7? AS says it wasn't tested on that.. Thanks for the response.

You have 2 hamburgers.

One is a Mcdonalds cheese burger for £1.50 and tastes rubbery and doesn't fill you up. but its a burger none the less

The others is a five guys with bacon, blue cheese and all the trimmings which Is £7.00 but it tastes delicious

The 5 guys is more than double the price but its got all those trimmings. It took a while to cook, and tastes devine, it's a treat you give yourself once in a blue moon.

The aerosoft 32x and the flight factor 320 are the Mcdonalds cheese burgers of Airbuses, nothing too fancy. A cheap soggy burger. A cheap unpolished airbus.

The fsl with all the added goodies it has is the five guys burger, problem is you need a bigger stomach (a high end pc) to have the five guys verses to the Mcdonalds crappy cheese burger

I do love these P3D versus everyday life analogies.. 😁

Just as a point of reference.. The "once in a blue moon" qualification is good advice... The 5 guys burger has hypertension, high cholesterol, and myocardial infarction written all over it.. The "Big Mac" probably isn't a whole lot better, it will just take a while longer to kill you...

As for the Aerosoft A320 P3D v4 version, I don't think i'd call call it a soggy Mickey D's cheeseburger, maybe more like a Burger King Whopper Junior, without cheese or Mayo.......🤣

Maybe not the best there is, but certainly a reasonable alternative.

I do and it does fine.

I've only had one 5 guys burger, it cost me a fortune and it gave me the craps for 2 days

I think it boils down to how realistically do you fly the sim. If you're a "kick the tyres and light the fires" kind of guy the AS320 would be a great choice. Nothing too fancy and will get you from A to B. If, however, you're a geek (like me) who enjoys going through all the pre-flighting, flight planning and procedures then you'd have to go for the FSL version. It is pricier but the simulation depth and immersion are second to none especially with the upcoming update. It really is a question of of how you approach your simming.

I agree with what he says.

I do exactly that with the Aerosoft A320. I always start from cold and dark, go through amplified checklists, plan my flights including procedures, look at the weather etc.. There is almost no difference between the two models as long as you stick to normal procedures; you could compare the checklists to verify that. The only difference is that the FSL can "download" flight plans from PFPX into its FMS, but I prefer Simbrief and don't use that feature.

As for the burger comparison, that is not only a contribution that adds little fact, it also is exactly what the OP was asking not to receive.

Really? really?

Go look at a twitch stream of the new update that hopefully will be out in the next week or two and say that again!

O what about icing or that fact that you cannot even set the basic flight deck set up with weather on the captain side and terrain of the first offers side. That basic set up is not possible. Please....stop kidding yourself.

Them remarks are at the same level as “FSL” is just about failures.

Pete and Rafal summed up perfectly. I was not going to get draw into this topic but some of the replies are.......better not say

To the OP.

If you cannot save up or justify the FSL, them imo your better to look at other aircraft that are the very best in class, Have a look at the.

MadDog MD 80 or the Q400. Both the best we can buy in there class.

Also please note because none of the buy the AS replies have pointed out that all developers were pulled of the A318-A321 to work on the A330. So don’t hold you breath for an update.

As for the FSL that took 7 years to make and there working on it all the time around another 3 years now and work is still going on with the next release the A321 then the sharklet version, both will be far from a texture model different ^^.

So think as it sounds like you spent your money wisely. Like I said for the money the Q400 and the MadDog is money welll spent.
