This has been on our list of want-to-have for a very long time. So far we haven´t been able to put any effort into making this work, but we certainly plan to do so after release of V1.0 . It´s not easy, as both machines must stay synchronized and we have a lot of datarefs that need to be sent back and forth... It has been discussed before, it IS possible to operate this plane safely with just one pilot (and judicious use of the autoflight system plus some proper pre-planning for high-density workload phases), but for a realistic and redundant operation of an aircraft of this complexity and speed really two pilots are needed in the cockpit.

Hi all! In the meantime we wait for the release, we should be reading and studying FCOM's, QRH's, Aircraft Manuals and all the stuff we can get, if we want to simulate the operation of this plane following the real procedures. A very good reference are the videos from Baltic Aviation Academy, in particular, all about their B737-300 simulator. I have made a wide selection of them (in brackets the video duration), some videos are inserted automatically, but others don't (I don't know why) Enjoy!!! My best from Spain!

Rightly or wrongly, I've had it in my mind for quite a time now that we would have this for christmas. I've been so looking forward to it. I decided not to get P3d v3 on the basis that once this comes out I expect to not need anything else if the videos are anything to go by. I'm expecting this to be a truly excellent rendition. Great to see this forum come on stream. Can hardly wait!

With all my personal dislike for Airbus aside, making one is fairly unattractive for study-sim developers. The logic in the systems is so complicated that often even Airbus has to do some serious research into why the airplanes do what they do in certain unusual situations. To code that is a nightmare, and with our level of determination to make things work realistically we would only set ourselves up for frustration and disappointment. The Airbus family is attractive to make from a sales perspective, it´s a very succesful aircraft that is present in many flightsim users minds. And certainly a viable product, if you are not hellbent on pushing realistic system simulation into the high 90s, percentage-wise. As a disclaimer, I have never flown any of the Airbus-offerings for X-Plane or FSX, and I have heard some great things about those products. I DO wonder how they would hold up to the scrutiny and true and honest review of a type-rated and experienced Airbus pilot. Cheers, Jan

The sooner, the better. Application is in the system...

We hope so, we make no promises, only have a target and we are really close. Not at the time of release, simply because we have not had time to look into integrating it. It is high on our list after release though. That will have to wait a bit, busy trying to get the product done this year -tkyler

...hmmm a A320 in the same quality like the 737 here.. would be great even if its not your favourite airliner But there are still many many other cool Boeing aircrafts missing in xplane so far, lets first get this 737 on the runway. And have a break!

This would be akin to an inmate making a scale model of his prison... no.

Thanks for the info Cameron. I was holding back on the OS update until now.

2020...that makes me want to cry just thinking about it.

Dev update: I am currently taping movies for the tutorials that will be included in the documentation (most likely on youtube in our channel). So when you can´t figure out what we ment to say in those tutorials, there is now a video to watch alongside, so you know what we would like you to do! Cheers, Jan

Just install the CIVA and release the airplane. I have not doped with FMS type systems yet, and the prejudice is that it would be like holding anothers hand. Hm, actually when it comes to my mind, scrap the CIVA too, I just want to fly VOR/VOR.

lucky to be a beta tester for this
