Hopefully the iniBuilds version can fly an RNP approach in autopilot, as well as being the higher gross weight version to allow the full gamut of long range A380 routes, which FBW can't do.

I guess it depends on whether you choose to work for nothing or not.

The protection afforded by a computer keyboard brings out the worst in people.

I don't think RXP support exists anymore.

I don't understand this romanticism over VOR & NDB navigation. Having obtained an instrument rating back in the mid 80's, no such thing as GPS existed - in fact, you were lucky in GA to have an aircraft with DME or the luxury of a rudimentary autopilot. Now as an IFR instructor, give me modern technology any day of the week. Sure, it is a bit of fun in the sim to play with it, but the reality is the world runs on GPS now whether we like it or not. So, glass or analogue? Give me glass any day.

I did the same but at this point appears to be no change. Never flown one but surely metric is a real option?

Am I seeing it right that you cannot change the flight displays to show Kg, only lbs? The system settings for units don't give an option?

I hope it cost less than when I did it in the real thing a long time ago 😆

Any chance you could tell the rest of us?

I remember back in the day that an Airbus was like finding the holy grail!

That's just one person's opinion - others may vary.

There have been several "strange" design decisions that defy logic since 2020.

Thanks for the information, I have SPAD so will give it a try.

Still no resolution for the freezing MCDU on the iniBuilds A340. No one seems to know whose end is causing the issue.

Don't be drawn into thinking you have to Einstein to be a pilot. Yes, you learn a lot of stuff to pass theory exams, but as other practising pilots have replied, it is mostly "rules of thumb" that get you by in day-to-day flying, and a fair serving of common sense.
