Does it include: autorim? any protections? managed flight? are pitch and power settings similar at all? or are there any other airbus features that fundamentally set the bus aside from boeing etc, or is it basically a 737 with a revamped cockpit layout and exterior? I am due to start type rating on the A319 in december and whilst i have some time in a 320 sim to relate to, i'd be interested to know whether there is any resemblance that justifies buying FSX to get the feel of the thing again.. Thanks..
It's rubbish. Forget it. If you want a reasonably good Airbus simulation, get A320 Professional from Phoenix Simulation. It'll work on FS2002/2004 and probably FSX with a patch. It is excellent, and a worthwhile addition to your training library.
People, for specific discussion of MSFS please go
