So for those who don't like videos, how good's this airbus going to be?  Is the FMC credible or more like the cut-down one they provided with the 737 in xp11?

[Murmur 3,941]

As far as I understood, the FMC will be initially (in 12.0) the same of the Boeing 737. They don't rule out the possibility of implementing an Airbus FMC in future versions though.

Or perhaps another Zibo coming along 😊.

Just to add it was mentioned that Philip is working on it, but indeed a small chance that it'll make it to 12.00.

Hopefully not too far down the road, anyway i'm sure the A330 will have a "zibo" treatment by the community as well.

What i'm mostly interested in is to test Austin's FBW, this is something I recall was mentioned a long ago in one v11 QA.

I would hope that's a given.  It wouldn't be an Airbus without at least normal law and the basic protections.

Agreed.

Austin had airbus pilots to test it per what is said in the interview & the last loooooong flight model report.

Some good news from a few developers, such as VSkyLabs and FilghtFactor regarding the compatibility and / or free upgrades for their products in XP12 !

I look forward for news from Toliss...
