  1. I'd recommend just downloading Francois Dore's excellent reworking of the PA 318/319/320/321

    Francois made a panel that's optimised for our aircraft. He didn't rework any part of them.

     

    Thomas did the PA 380, so yeah, it's the same thing :) I believe there's a version of his A380 out there that has his A340 VC merged in, not perfect, but better than nought.

    Thomas compiled the A380 for FSX. He didn't model it. He didn't make the textures for it. And he didn't make the flight dynamics for it, either. So no, it's not the same thing.


  2. They will work; however, they should ideally receive the following updates:

    • Add ANT1/ANT2/ANT3/SATV to the aircraft title as required http://dl.dropbox.co...1_antguide.jpeg
    • Copy A320_misc_1 over from the base pack
    • Add the under-slat texture to A320_wing_2_t (compare with any of the official v2.1 liveries)
    • Add updated engine parts to A320_2_t (compare with any of the official v2.1 liveries)
    • Add the compressor texture to A320_1_t (compare with any of the official v2.1 liveries)


  3. Groups like PA make me almost regret only wanting 'total package' high end payware aircraft now. That's a magnificent model - deserves great systems to complement it.
    VAS might be not be PMDG, but it's the best there is for Airbus.
    @Momtchil: Did you get it running with the full paint? E.g. no grey or untextured parts on the gear and engines?
    Have you run the batch script?
    Vasfmc doesn't work because there's a typo in the panel.cfg file for the A380- the term "alias" is included twice. Once you edit this the Vasfmc gauges will appear.
    We tried updating the package on AVSIM, but it was rejected; you can, in the meanwhile, get the latest package here (that also includes a couple fixes we've made to the model).

  4. Well for a start the THS was stuck at full nose up, when in alternate law you lose autotrim. The flightcrew never used manual pitch trim and no amount of forward sidestick would have got the nose down far enough to get the aircraft flying again.
    Stab trim hit full nose up and stayed there. As mentioned previously around 11 seconds after the a/p disconnected the aircraft went to alternate law and lost autotrim, among the many alerts on the ECAM they should also have seen USE MAN PITCH TRIM on the PFD (alert may only be displayed in direct law) With full nose up trim the crews fate was pretty much sealed. I should add that manual pitch trim can only be adjusted through the trim wheel, no buttons on the sidestick itself.
    You _don't_ lose autotrim in alternate law. From the report (emphasis is mine): "Malgré quelques actions à piquer, le PF maintient globalement une action à cabrer. L’assiette oscille entre 11° et 18° environ et l’incidence entre 11° et 23°. Le PHR débute un mouvement cohérent avec les actions du PF et atteindra la valeur de 13° à cabrer environ une minute plus tard. Il convient de rappeler qu’en loi alternate, l’auto trim est toujours actif. Par contre, il est difficile pour l’équipage de connaître la position du trim et aucune alarme n’avertit l’équipage qu’il déroule."
    No, but a quick glance at a separate gauge driven by an independent AoA vane indicating an AoA in the "red zone" would. Cheers, - jahman.
    What makes you think they'd heed the AoA gauge?
