Re: Wilco A380v2 VC Merge with PA380

I have downloaded and installed the rikoooo Airbus A380 which has a VC for FSX. Like yourself, I am inclined to think that the 3D Wilco cockpit has little to be desired, but the gauges do. To this effect, I have tried replacing the rikoooo gauges with the Wilco ones and have had no luck so far (I am...

Re: Wilco A380v2 VC Merge with PA380

Problem well and truly solved! It would appear that this is a known issue with FSX when the mesh resolution is set to less than 10m in the FSX settings, when flying approaches over water and a threshold (as the case for San Francisco's (KSFO) RW28R). If you set the mesh resolution to 10m or greater,...

Wilco A380v2 VC Merge with PA380

I have successfully merged the Wilco A380v2 VC with the PA380 model. Having flown a few approaches, I am experiencing problems with ILS autoland approaches at KSFO (San Francisco) on RW28R. The aircraft is set down ahead of the runway threshold and crashes. I repeated the ILS approach with the Wilco...

Autoland Problems with A320 FD Special Version

Having a great time flying the A320 FD Special Version. I have encountered an issue with autoland with this aircraft. On an ILS approach in APPR mode, the 'Retard' call is made at 10 feet above runway level and I reduce throttle to idle. The aircraft promptly powers up and climbs away. Should I wait...

Re: Support Project Airbus A318/319/320/321 FD Special Versi

I have answered this question myself. If you use the exterior model for the CFM model with the IAE model then the engine emissions do appear, so these effects are obviously hard-coded into the CFM model file. Might still be nice to see the exhaust effects with the IAE model, though (although it is a...

Re: How to fly the A320 series

The link is no longer valid. Does anyone have a current link to a user manual which explains how to fly the PA320?

Re: Support Project Airbus A318/319/320/321 FD Special Versi

Great work indeed. One question for you. I note that for the CFM model, a thrust-dependent engine exhaust emission is evident but is apparently absent from the IAE model. Is this deliberate, or is there a means of switching this on for the IAE model? (I like this effect because it adds realism to th...

Re: Is A380 selectable in FMC with vasFMC?

Problem solved.

The A380 is selectable in the MCDU if you know how to scroll through the Airbus variants in the display using your mouse!

Re: A380 Cockpit Manual

After much digging around, I found a post 'A380 vasFMC loss of PFD and ECAM and other questions' dated 09 Jan 2013 which includes the following link to the A380 Cockpit Manual: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6zr89g3zuaa71gj/PA_A380_Cockpit_Manual.rar I hope this helps others who may have lost track of it...

Is A380 selectable in FMC with vasFMC?

I have installed a Project Airbus vas-compatible A380 for FS9 and also vasFMC 2.1, together with the AIRAC data, downloaded from the Project Airbus website. In the FMC itself (the MCDU, to be precise), I cannot select an A380. The only aircraft which are selectable in the display are A318/9/20. Shou...

A380 Cockpit Manual

Please will somebody provide me with a link or advise me how to obtain a cockpit manual (pdf) for the Project Airbus A380 for FS9? All the suggested links from internet searches appear to be redundant.
