Hiya all,
Am wanting to buy a decent Airbus sim, mainly for the A320. Just wondered if any of you are using either both the JF and wilko versions and which is best? I like a fairly complex one and also with a cabin interior so maybe the wilko volume 1 version? What do you think?

I would wait for the AS A320, however if you can't wait, the JF/Wilco Airbus Series 1 isn't bad I hear.
Plus JF's support is good. I've bought the 757 Captain, 737 PIC, British Airports, SR-71 and much more from them & never had problems with support.

Is it true that you cant do a cold and dark startup with FSX if using the JF version???

Quite simply, no Our version does exactly the same things as Wilco's, so you can do cold & dark startups |

The JF version is, as above, practically the same as Wilco's. JF are selling a Wilco product, so it's the same.

Yeah but for the JF you don't have the Airbus Corporate Jetliner I think and i'm not sure if you have the bonus DVD from Justplanes

Yes but at £39 for the Wilko version, I think I'll go for the JF one. I prefer JF anyway. I'm sure I read it on the Flightstore website that you can only do a cold and dark startup using FS9. But thanks Martyn for confirming that you can.

I have the JF Airbus series 1, It's great! - although I haven't a clue how to use it properly!
This is because they are very different from the Boeings I fly! H |

ICE- Try my tutorial for the Airbus. You then have a good idea how to opperate the 'bus' properly. |

The JF/wilco Airbus Series 1 is good but not brilliant. 7/10 seems a fair score. The overhead panel could do with a little work and the FMC also lacks functionality. Its OK but not brilliant.

I think aerosoft are also planing an Airbus add on for FSX. It should be very good.

I know it's still in progress, but the VC looks pretty bad compared to some other Airbus add-ons. |

It's unfinished, Tom! Looks like the top texture hasn't been applied yet (as it's not shiny).

AKAIK, the Aerosoft Bus is a "Jump in and Fly" plane. Very nice on the visuals, looking at the plane, but no need to go through programing to get it off the ground, just Ctrl+E and your off.
Matt.
