So bring it on

(Sorry, I couldn't resist). The new pictures are looking great, this beauty will be flown for days once it's out!

As much as we'd love to and we appreciate the excitement... there are still a few issues that have to be ironed out. None are major though

Good luck with further development!

It seems that the centre aileron did most of the work @ sharp turns..

That's not necessarily the case; the centre aileron actually acts as a dampener and is usually in a reverse position to the other two ailerons; depending on the exact moment a photo is taken, it may seem to be more active than the others.

Video to clarify:

Nice, but I prefer to fly in cockpit though...

Atomic_13 wrote:Nice, but I prefer to fly in cockpit though...

Me too. The problem is FS9 can't handle both, so the cockpit version will be out a bit later.

Post by **GaryG** » 14 Jan 2010, 17:55

Amazing.... So I presume.. model = done, cabin = almost done/done, VC = almost done... and what else??

Amazing ...

Yeah! Say $80 for the exterior model, $80 for flight model, $100 for the cockpit, and then another $250 for the virtual cockpit and cabin. Repaints can be bought from the Project Airbus store at $20 apiece

And don't forget the $30 bandwith fee to be able to download the product after the transaction has been completed. I should work with Ryanair.

Man, you're really expensive! Anyway, I hope you like the A/C when it comes out. We're doing our best to give you a nice "whale" to fly!

Julian007 · Post by **Julian007** » 14 Jan 2010, 20:38

Have you created the whole cabin or just a part?
I think you should do the whole cabin so you can feel like a passenger on a longrange flight

Most passengers don't see the whole cabin; only the section they're in. Besides - doing the whole cabin isn't possible due to polygon limits.

Just the first class. FS9 can't handle that many polygons, so I had to either remove Derek's gorgeous wing, or make the entire interior in very low detail.

Edit: Tom is one step ahead of me everywhere today!

Post by **DerKranich** » 14 Jan 2010, 21:22

LOL @ Tom's up-to-the-minute updating

The cabin looks great. Although this may sound like a dumb question, but will there be one where we can opt to simply have the wingviews? I do admire and respect the fact that a considerable amount of effort was made into the cabin, but I honestly don't drool over them.

Though my mouth is watering for this plane the more I see it.

With that in mind, do you supply buckets so I can prevent flooding my dorm? My roommate wouldn't be too happy otherwise. :lol:

The virtual cabin will only cover a first-class area on the main deck as far back as the leading edge of the wing, so from any other viewpoint you'll only get the more "typical" wingview.

Are you kidding? We will love this one! The model is just perfect (and far better then the NLS one) and I can't tell how excited I am about the first VC shots!!!

Nice!... But there will be a no vc/cabin model and a only vc model also??

Nope. It will be a cabin+wingview and a VC-no wingview model. As Tom stated, the cabin extends to the leading edge of the wing, so you can get all the "clean" views of it without the cabin getting in the way.

Post by **LN-OSS** » 14 Jan 2010, 23:37

ah okay... Hope the cabin or vc mdl wont be too hard on the fps then

Post by **esg** » 14 Jan 2010, 23:51

To clarify, there will be 3 models:

-- wingview only
-- cockpit only
-- cabin + wingview

Just what i hoped for!!... Amazing job fellas!!

flightsimer · Post by **flightsimer** » 15 Jan 2010, 20:12

ok since this is FS9 modeled, im not sure if this is possible, but once they are release, will people be able to run all the views on FSX?

Also, will the paibus a380 have custom sounds or are they the ones in the video?

Post by **Alexis** » 16 Jan 2010, 13:38

We don't have any custom sounds, and no A380 soundsets that we know of. So they will be aliased to the 747.

Basically, on that page it says the trailing edge of the flap touches the gear door and something about the flap fairing being larger on the left side because of the placement of the RAT. That's what he wanted you to look at...

The fairing is certainly allot bigger on the left inner fairing. Thanks for sharing that Atomic_13. Looks like the RAT comes out of that little door on the front of the left fairing?

Post by **esg** » 16 Jan 2010, 21:17

Yes, it does, and yes, it's bigger on our model

Brett-Hill · Post by **Brett-Hill** » 18 Jan 2010, 14:06

Yes... it is a shame that there will be no FSX Native model for the better FPS and it is a shame there arn't any decent sound sets available for it... but after looking at your Cabin Previews and wingview previews and videos... I DONT CARE!!! The work you guys have put into this, is truely staggering for freeware and I wish you guys good luck with the final stages up to the release date
