hurricanemk1c 195 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hi all! http://www.wilcopub.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=prod_380 The Airbus A380. The worlds largest passenger aircraft. It has now been faithfully reproduced by Wilco for Flight Simulator X. With the FSX version (Download ONLY and CD (with FS2004)), it has a mission. And here it is : TOULOUSE - April 27, 2005. The newly constructed A380 is rolled out of its hangar for its maiden test flight. Airport and Airbus staff have joined government officials and members of the public to see the flight off. As Official Test Pilot, you will embark your A380 for a 60 minutes Maiden Flight. After a (hopefully) successful take-off from Toulouse Blagnac, you will be asked to execute a smooth touch-and-go in Spain, over majestic Pyrenees mountains and 'hollywood-type' cinematics sequences. During the flight, ground engineers will ask you to perform in-flight tests over beautiful landscapes and the Atlantic ocean. Then, you will be directed to the factory home base so that the test sensor data can be offloaded. This Flight Simulator X mission, supplied in different complexity levels, allow beginner and expert pilots alike to train through a step-by-step tutorial, from cold and dark cockpit to full kiss landing. The missions feature English voices and subtitles displayed in English, German or French. Flight Simulator X has the connecting jetways as standard in the defaults. Specs : Three realism levels available: beginner, intermediate and expert. Beginner users won't have to read tons of documentation to fly, intermediate users will have more realism while enjoying some FS "shortcuts", while expert users will have to follow actual procedures.

1mag1n3 0 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Ive heard it is actually worse than the original, i flew that on my friends PC and it was pretty terrible... Ive heard things like the front undercarriage not turning and basic things like this which make this sound like one package not to go for... And 35 Euros, its an outrage...
