Wow excellent stuff there guys. Your visual models of the Airbus series are the best - better than the payware stuff easily. Thanks for all these great planes!! Looking forward to the VC...its the last peice of the A380 jigsaw and then we will all be simming into the night on those long hauls :)

Development is usually slow cos we only have limited resources.

Currently Derek is on leave, Alex is busy with his military commitments, Demetris is back to college, Gary is balancing school with developments & I'm good for nothing as usual ;)

so dont hold your breath too mcuh. Just enjoy the aircraft in FS and with time there will be more to add to it.

Hi all, we have a little treat here. Been a long time, and so , here I am presenting the ECAM I was working on. Guys, please do remember this is still Work In Progress. It has all the checklists implemented. There is also a feature, running in the background, which will not be announced anytime soon. It's impossible to perceive, so for now, do enjoy the ecam screenshots.

well, i have one question about the VC to the PA team.
Will the VC be a full functional like the one in the Airsimmer A320, or Aerosoft Airbus x, so you can klick on each button and the overhead panel.
or will it be just like the one from Projectopensky's 777, with the main functions, like autopilot, engines lights, and no overhead buttons ?
just wanted to know what to expect. sorry if this goes to far ;-)

I recall it's not April 1st.

As far as systems go, there is still the line that distinguish Freeware from Payware.

yeah, i know there's that line...
but PA is much better than all payware (commercial jets i know) the external models are perfect ;)
ok, i wish you good luck and fun with making the VC guys !
i'll wait for it .

Just a question...

If someone had the time and talent to take your VC gauges and stick them in a 2d panel, would you let them?

:)

im sure somewhere along the line there would be but.... why do you still need the unrealistic 2D panel.... VC's are surely the best way to fly. If its the Realism and 'Simulation' your after then VC's are the way forward, soon I think that almost all aircraft you can get on freeware have a VC and certainly all the payware. Payware Aircraft like the aerosoft Beaver and the superb L-39 don't have any 2d panels as they see that they are not needed in such a high quality aircraft; Now that is what I call Simulation.
Sorry Ill stop my ranting now

Back on Topic,
Iv seen some of the gauges in the pictures you guys have previewed and they look very nice. How many people have worked on this Project Airbus model inside and out in total? and will the wing tips be visible from the VC side windows?
Keep up the good work, the VC is an Important part of the aircraft :D

Hi... I'd like to make some points about this...
First: Is obvious that out there in the web there is no better model than PA A380, and we, as coustomers, fans of aviation, and... well actual pilots... we know that and we thank you and we congratulate you... but you have to know that this kind of things such as comments and repetitions such as the one im posting are not to bug you, but to help you to incrase the quality of your products... You don't have to answer in a rude way, which is not the first time, and is not only him... Just make things more clear for all of us... You tell us to be tuned whit your forum.. and we're participating on something that in the end if for us... and you should feel greatful to be part of it... - not that i believe you don't feel that way -

Now i want to make one question about this issue of the 3D/2D: You're using gauges, like the ones used for 2D panels, for the cration of the 3D panel, don't you? If so then you should clarify this, this means that we wouldn't need a 2D pnl, or any of you customers can create one whit those gauges, not to steal your work, to help in your work... Maybe the "fear" or let's call it, the dislike of all of this is to have a HQ or HD virtual cockpit but have all the screens in black, whit out anything...

Please don't get mad whit us, this is my request, and maybe you're busy people, students perhaps, i'm too, so let us help you, so you can do the same to us. :)

A 2D-panel would be great though! I haven't found one yet that really satisfies me.

I understand you guys hate these questions and normally I am the last one to ask them, but do you have a rough estimation about the release date of the A380 VC?
I know that there might be problems or new ideas you aren't even aware of right now, slowing down the developement but from the actual point of view, do you think it will be finished some time in first half of 2011?

Again: I don't mean to bother you, I'm just curious.

Well, the model's basically done, as are the textures. It's all about when we're done with the gauges—shouldn't be too long now.

I don't know if there'll be an FSX native model, but the FS9 model should work fairly well in FSX

Does the Airbus A380 vc have auto brakes since Tom Ruth's 340 vc and A321 vc doesnt have WORKING Autobrakes!

The reason for no autobrakes may be due to the fact that FS9 has "issues" with planes that have more than the normal three contact points. That's why the-group-formerly-known-as-Posky came up with their own addon autobrake gauge. You could always try merging that into your panel.

Good point - the Posky autobrake gauge is designed for FS9 and may not work in "X."
