Hi Everybody
Has anyone come across the fact that on 1st Class Simulations A380 there doesn't seem to be any instrumentation for engines 3 & 4, the panel seems to be laid out for a twin engine plane, but on the throttle quadrant window --- 4 levers !!!  any ideas anyone, or am I missing something ?  comments please.
Thanks Geoff.

Last Class Simulations I believe you mean?
Many Thanks,

There's a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician, the other is an artist in love with flight.

The level of detail of 1st class simulations is worse then freewere total waste of money. When I conplained to them they said that the hawker hurricane won a award from PC pilot it must of been worst add on!!

First class simulations are rubbish because:
1) On the A380, the throttle quadrant isn't even remotely like the A380's, it is taken from the default 747 and given a little makeover thats it,
2) The PFD, ND and the rest is from default aircraft, if not it's been copied, again doesn't even remotely look like the A380's
3) On the Airbus Collection/Fleet from them they claim to have replicated the A350, ok heres what i think to that:
1a) The A350 hasn't even flown yet (or built) so how can they get the flight dynamics right, this mean it's going to be rubbish,
1b) Airbus seem to be changing the cockpit layout frequently, even a few weeks back they are moving the overhead panel around a bit.
1c) A company who puts quite alot of aircraft into one package have not obviously taken their time and rushed into it. Monety perhaps? Look at Level-D and PMDG they spent a few years working on one aircraft, and lo and behold  they are perfect sims, i haven't spoken to anyone yet who do not like it because of realism issues.
 
Thats my little opinion of them anyway

Apart from the Company already mentioned, is there a descent model of the A380 made by anyone else for FSX?

This is why i am angry at PCpilot right now, i want the 2 year subscrition but it comes with the last class eurofighter and hurricane which i don't want.
 
Also i know how you feel on the A380 i bought a long time back when the company was called abacus.

The reason Last class simulations give free games with joysticks and magazines is because they can't sell the!!
