Project Airbus – Talk

also , I'm sorry to drag this out further but the a320 family spoilers are noticablye curved, i believe it give the wing alot of character but then again i understand it can cause problems with with lag, here you can see what i mean.

the spoilers curve is due to the wing shape, but I doubt PA will do the curve as it's not an important thing.

I guessed, that but it was worth a try, its an excellent model none-the-less.

I hadn't even noticed until now lol

Boeing 737 don't use winglets like that one. That's an A320.

yep, hes right... they are both a320's

a quick question to the A32X modelers, I don't know if that's possible right now. but I was wondering if you guys can make separate texture for the forehead of the airplanes. like how overland did theirs. Just a thought so it's easier on some repaints. :p

if you guys can't, then just too bad. ^^

No to both requests, sorry

it's ok esg.

Looking forward to it! keep up the good work guys!

Hi there,

First, and because it is my first message here, many Kudos on the great job. Your models are really amazing.

Since I have practicaly no knowledge of the working of models in FS, I don't know if what I am about to speak about is doable or not. I looked quickly in the forum and I have not seen it, but since you speak here of a new version of a model, I feel I came to the right place.

On your models, I noticed that the spoilers all operate together.

On A32S, the spoilers are numbered 1 through 5 from inner to outer. There are used as follow:
- speed brake (in flight): 2, 3 and 4
- ground spoiler: all of them
- roll control: 2 to 5.

I suppose there's more or less the same repartition (with more surfaces) on the A380. I'll get more information regarding the Big Bus next week, if you want

As I said, I don't know if it can easily be done in FS, but that would add a reality feeling to you models.


regards !

EDIT:

OK, now I feel like a fool.. I had that feeling on the A321, and I checked on ground... not in flight...

You almost got it right though: the number 5 spoiler is also used for roll.

I'll still look for the A380

Thanks, we'll probably be fixing that

news in the project?can we expect a soon release?

It will be released when its ready.

any news in the excellent A320 V2 project??

Dude, i'm pretty sure that when the guys have something to update us about, they'll update us. I know how you feel, I check this forum everyday for posts on the A320 V2.1, but perfection takes time

I'm sure they deserve a summer vacation that they surely deserve. Watch this space for any updates, by subscribing to this topic!

Twitter says, and I quote, "Expect several things to be released this month"
Do I smell V2.1 coming soon? Gee, I sure hope so

well im pretty sure its the A380 VC and the A320 V2.1....

news here?

I believe it is used to hook a safety line on from the emergency exit windows.

AF1809 wrote:Just for knowledge : what is it exactly?

It is used, I thought, for hoisting the wings in the factory or during maintenance.

That's creative and nicely thought of, Ben F. I like it

Yes, its for lifting the wings. Sometimes to lift the aircraft as well. That's its only purpose

Ha, just a guess as thats what they are used for on the CRJ-900

I think Ben is right; why would anyone ever want to hoist the A320 from the wing's midrib like that? It sounds like a terrible, terrible idea.

I'd have to agree. A while back I was talking to a maintenance guy and I think he said they used them to link their harnesses while working on the wings. The safety line thing sounds pretty plausible too.

Are you also have modeled the curves above or from the wingbox to the wings? I can't find it on the old model.

It would look much more realistic to the real A320.

No

Hey!! PA team! have you thought about Airbus A320NEO

People should learn to read entire topics before posting, they arent making the A320Neo, looks shit anyway.

"Looks shit anyway"? It's the same aircraft but with new engines and winglets. Not much different then the original aircraft.

Also, PAirbus, how is this project coming along? For a month+ now all we have had is "soon". Not even another screenshot. Just wanted to know. No rush.

1 screenshot could be good to see while we wait ^.^'

Come on guys quit asking for updates, screenshots, release dates, etc. When they have an update it will be posted, they have lives outside FS too.

We released the a380 VC this month. Even though we have more than one project in the works it doesnt mean we work on all of them at the same time.

I want emergency slides, LOL.
