Project Airbus – Talk

Very nice paint!

Beautiful paint!

I'm not sure I see the need for such a package either, but no matter. Go ahead with your modifications, and when you're done you may upload them to a filesharing site to share with the members of the forum if you wish. I'd suggest dropbox or rapidshare. Please don't upload this package to flightsim ...

The flaps are accurate, the 737 panel gauges just don't reflect the flap settings properly.

I simply press F6 and F7 as required to get the desired flap setting. Pressing F7 once gives flaps 1, twice gives flaps 1+F, three times gives flaps 2, and so on.

Hope that helps,

Have you tried what esg wrote? That should reduce your VLS.

Approach/landing speeds at full flaps vary from 125kts (at empty weight) to 145kts (at MLW). In other words, yes, you are approaching too fast. From your post I guess the Wilco panel is preventing you from approaching at slower speeds? If so that's a panel issue I can't help you with, though you mi...

Great work!

Doesn't sound like an effects issue, I think what you're referring to is the engine fan animations. The a318-319-320 use standard FS animations which aren't very accurate. With the 321 we coded custom animations to improve the spool up. There's no way to transfer the animations to the previous model...

Turbosquid aircraft models are notoriously inaccurate, but in any case i don't think we'd start an a350 until at least the prototype was constructed. For now there's no way of knowing if that model is accurate or not to my knowledge so I doubt it's worth the time/money.

Do you use windows 7? If so it's probably because your FSX is installed in the program files directory. See esg's post in this thread: http://www.pairbus.com/discussion/viewt ... 137#p11574

Yes, that summary is perfect, ratinho. Thanks!

Yes, rename the A320's .air so that it has the same name as the A319's .air file. Then copy it into the A319 folder and overwrite. You might want to back up the old .air file just in case.

They were removed because of an issue some users reported. See here: http://www.pairbus.com/discussion/viewt ... 137#p11573

The original FDE designer is no longer active with PA, just so you know. Only he'd be able to fully answer your question. I believe that the power figures are meant to replicate the N1 values that CLB thrust would give. The intent is for you to be able to push your throttles all the way forward on t...

Have you tried right-clicking the batch file and selecting "run as administrator"? That should work in theory.

196,210lbs / 89,000kg MTOW is straight from the A321 TCDS. More specifically, from an unmodded A321-211/231. If you want to use the actual aircraft's certified weights for your edits, you should be looking at the TCDS. There are a few different variants listed: http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guid...

^ Right, well I won't discount the possibility the aircraft is behaving differently on your system, but I just made a few tests on my machine and am pretty certain I understand what's going on. In short, you're climbing too slowly. At 160kts you're on the EXTREME back end of the A321's power curve. ...

Very nice!

FS9 I presume? If so you are correct, the wing lights are in the model file and cannot be removed to my knowledge. Otherwise they wouldn't move with the wingflex.

Nice shots!

Well that depends on what you mean by "forever" :geek: . With a load like that I'd assume a TOW of about 175000lbs or so? In that situation you should have a climb of about 28-30 minutes to get to 350. Regarding the original post, I can't be sure since I don't have any takeoff distance cha...

Haha I have no idea, it's been so long since the FDE was finalized that I don't remember where the figures came from. For all I know it might have been a typo that nobody noticed. Granted, the OEW can vary considerably between serial numbers and operators depending on equipment and such, though afte...

For the FSX issue, this thread might help: http://www.pairbus.com/discussion/viewt ... f=6&t=1125

Ive never heard of 64 vs 32 bit causing an issue for a simple batch file but I guess I could be wrong. I'm suspecting more along the lines of windows 7 protecting the program files folder against modifications. Try copying the project airbus a321-211 aircraft folder somewhere else (the desktop for e...

That's very strange I think there was another report of the installer flashing or reporting an error. I have windows 7 32bit here and it works fine, so I'm not quite sure what the problem could be. Does it give you a specific error message that could help find the issue? Also what's the directory pa...

The bat also copies common textures from the main texture folder into your paint's folder. If you didn't run the batch you'll have to copy those textures manually. You'll also need to copy some light map textures as well, basically just copy all the textures from the texture folder into your paint's...

Looks excellent!

Hope the RJ pilots had their belts on lol.

Don't think so, I don't believe there are any hybrids left these days. I'm sure someone will paint it after release, though.

Or maybe it was the first flight of the day and they needed to perform a takeoff at full thrust. Or maybe company procedure doesn't allow for flex takeoffs. It could be for a number of reasons.

I have had this issue happen a couple of times, always when reducing the throttles from values above 100%. The difference between the 320 fde and the 380 fde is that the former limited N1 values at 95% or so, even at full throttle. The 380 will easily reach 110% or more at full throttle, meaning the...

Real jet heat shimmer is caused by a phenomenon known as refraction, which is basically the distortion of light as it passes through an object (in this case, air at radically different temperatures). As far as I know, the FS visual engine can't simulate refraction, so a true shimmer simulation will ...

I hadn't seen that before, it's some nice work. The interior shots are especially well produced, though I feel the exterior could have been more refined. The reflections/shaders in particular were lacking in my opinion. No question it's one of the better productions out there though. Just so everyon...

Looking great Tom!

Great work Steve!

Cool. You might want to remove the Air Canada titles on it, Air Canada has nothing to do with the Jazz-Thomas Cook contract.

Think thats what he means, 4k = 4000x4000, or 4096x4096 if he's used powers of 2.

Right. Referring mostly to the weather radar I guess. I'm sure one could merge a traffic gauge into the VC if they were so inclined.

A few things that could make the Virtual cockpit of the A380 more realistic... -Weather Radars could be added -TCAS ( AI Aircraft detection to find the location other other AI Aircrafts to avoid striking them, Looks good guys keep the wrk up!!! Doubtful. Most payware companies don't even model thos...

I find it highly unlikely that you managed to preserve the animations and materials when you ripped the models.

I have a quick painting question, are the textures for the A321 the same size as the A320 and 319? The fact that the textures were the same size made repainting aircraft families (like the Austrian set here) much much easier. Yes. Only difference is there is a fuse_4 texture now containing the adde...

Nice work!

While we're plugging painters here, might I also mention that Demetris is an excellent painter as well.

Never heard of that problem. Can you post your full aircraft title before and after adding CFM?

A few people had issues with the A319 power. The best fix is to use the .air file from our A320 or A318 release, should work fine then. It will still act like an A319 because the A319 performance modifications are in the aircraft.cfg.

Is this the A319?

Small incidents are a normal part of any large scale airline operation, the media is simply making a big deal of any story they get wind of nowadays.

Wing flex has been present since the A319, I don't know why you'd think it would be removed in this variant.

Their commitment to safety is undeniable. Impressive.

I suspect the engineers at RR will be working double shifts on this one.
