What's the most realistic airbus sim?

Post by 05pricej »

More of a question than a heads' up. I was just looking to buy a descent Airbus sim but when I thought about it i knew several very high quality boeing addons but couldn't name any good airbus sims lol. I'll admit this is partly because ive never looked :roll: .

I did notice the Airliner XP airbus a320 which looks extremely promising but seems to have died :'( .

Anyway while i die waiting for the xp can anyone name the next best thing :lol:

Hi...

If you mean a A320 sim for FS9 / FSX, you could try the Project Airbus A318, A319 and A320. CFM and IAE models in different variations, lots of liveries available and it's freeware!!!!
URL: http://pairbus.com/, liveries etc. available at Avsim.
There's also the idfg model and the payware Overland model.
So... choice enough I think...

Grtz.

If your after realism then I would avoid the CLS models. I have them and although they are beautiful looking models from the outside, they don't really challenge any PC Pilots whatsoever. Very much a Ctrl + E operation.

if you want the full enchilada i would suggest the wilcopub pilot in command vol1 A320, deluxe version gives 318/319/320/321 or the airbus Vol2 gives the A330-200/300 and A340-300/600 plus A300-300 MRTT (tanker)

having flown the A320/A340 full motion simulators, i have to say wilcopub version is pretty close to them in feel and operation

i regret to say the CLS versions are somewhat lacking in both feel and operation of these airliners

the older PSS version of the 330/340 is good also but dated and possible no longer available unless just flight still do it

yes i own them all, its the wilcopub that i use

I hate to piss on this but really airbuses post A300 aren't really Classic British at all, so I'm moving it to E&S

With that in mind;

2 really nice A300 freeware are out there havent been mentioned yet.

The Airframe and Panel by Benoit Gaurant.

Another I just happened across last week by Björn Comhaire which uses the SGA airframe.
