Aerosoft A320 Family professional Bundle

The A320 range of aircraft is one of the most common in the sky. These short to medium-range twin jet airliners have proven to be cost effective, reliable, and readily available, making them the best options for many airlines all around the world. Over 8000 have been built. They are highly integrated and automated aircraft where the pilot is often just monitoring the complex systems.

This product range will contain 2 separate products:

• Aerosoft A318/A319 professional
• Aerosoft A320/A321 professional

The Aerosoft A318/A319 and Aerosoft A320/A321 form a series of completely new developments where virtually every part of the previous releases is overhauled or redone. What remains is our dedication to the basic idea of the product. We simulate flying the aircraft and the aircrafts systems are just a tool, not the goal. Using these products will bring flight simulation as close as possible to the experience of a real pilot ? from interacting with the MCDU to opening the flight deck door using the correct procedure. 

The project is a development for 64-bit platforms and uses the very latest of technology and compilers making it highly future proof and as light as possible on your system. It is not a recompiled 32-bit product.

NOTE:
Not all features will be completely ready at release. For a list of those, please see here: http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/133133-whats-not-available-whats-wrong/. Connected Flight Deck v2 isn't part of this version and will be delivered with SP1!

• The cockpit is equipped as it is with high end airline, with the most up to date instruments
• Sublime modelling/texturing based on the latest technologies. Very easy on frame-rates.
• Lights are partly Dynamic Lights from P3D V4, partly done by RealLight (from TFDi Design)
• Full rain and rain repellent effects using TrueGlass (from TFDi Design)
• Dozens of non-standard animations, all with sound effects (sun screens, windows, tables, tiller, jump seat, standby compass, drooping flight surfaces etc). All main doors and cargo hatches can be opened. Extensive options to show ground objects (cones, ground power etc) and to provide ground power
• Included web server that allows you to access (and use) the MCDU via any web browser; ideal for tablet computers
• Extensive manuals, with highly detailed step-by-step document
• Add-in View system: adds many pre-defined views for easy use, emulates 2D panel views
• Add-in Sound system: adds hundreds of background sounds to enhance the immersion
• Includes our Semi-Intelligent co-pilot that assist you in your flights and runs checklists and flows with you.
• Connected Flight Deck v2 that uses a server-based system making it very easy to join other pilots and to fly as Co-Pilot or Observer (please note this will be rolled out with SP1)

Systems:

• Fully custom Fly-by-Wire systems with flight envelope protection, stall protection, pitch and roll limiter, g-load limiter, over speed protection, Alpha Floor protection, auto trim.

• Fully custom thrust computer systems (FADEC), throttle with detents, FLEX take-off
• Very complete MCDU (can be controlled via web browser, for example on tablet computers), also, information can be inserted using the keyboard
• Flight plans supports SIDs, STARs, transitions, approaches, go-arounds, holds, Managed climbs and descent, constraints, and direct-to route editing
• VOR tracking implemented, DME arcs supported
• Comes with NavDataPro (LIDO) navigation database but compatible with Navigraph. Includes current AIRAC Data at the time of release (so not a free outdated version) and this can be updated by the user at any moment.
• Complete FS2Crew Runway Awareness and Advisory System included (a €30 value!)
• 28 ECAM pages included, showing relevant aircraft information.
• Full features ADIR`s system.
• Full feature TCAS system (including audio warnings) for AI Traffic, IVAO, VATSIM.

• Full featured loading and refuelling module (interfaced with the simulator) with advanced and simple mode.
• In cockpit printer functional to print out the information you need to keep on hand
• Fully functional Weather Radar with Manual and Multiscan. Works with ANY weather add-on (and even without weather add-on) and reads the actual weather that is inserted in simulator. This is a unique development! It even shows ground clutter making the WX a navigation tool.

Additional Features:

• Tiller can be operated by additional axis
• Advanced brakes with realistic brake temperatures (modelling Goodrich Carbon brakes)
• Engine models fully updated, highly accurate thrust, EPR, N1,N2, EGT, FF
