The Airbus A320 family is one of the most successful aircraft ever designed. Being the first mass produced aircraft that combined fly-by-wire avionics and lightweight composite materials, it revolutionized air travel by bringing down the cost of flights. It also made Airbus one of the biggest aircraft manufacturers in the world. Airbus X Extended Edition builds on the very successful Airbus X released in 2010 by Aerosoft. This new version includes far more complex and realistic navigation tools and a rewritten fly-by-wire implementation. Every stage of the flight can now be realistically simulated in Flight Simulator X - the logical next step for people who want to explore more complex systems. This Extended Edition product provides 2 additional new models, unique Airbus wingtip sharklets, and is packed with features such as the functional MCDU (SIDs, STARs, routes, VNAV). The fully functional Virtual Cockpit puts the user in a fully immersive environment where detailed animations (all with sound effects) and a high level of detailed modelling show just what can be achieved within Flight Simulator X. All the displays are detailed and easy to read, even at lower resolutions and are representative of most factory-fresh A320/A321s. The operation of the aircraft is highly accurate and as easy and logical as Airbus designs its aircraft. The displays will automatically show you the information you need at any given moment. The Fly-By-Wire flight model is totally reliable and extremely close to the actual aircraft. Where older aircraft use conventional throttles, the Airbus has a realistic FADEC system that means you almost never have to touch the throttle after your take-off run has commenced. The external model is highly detailed and exudes a silky smoothness from every angle. All cabin and freight doors can be operated and show the interior of the aircraft. Animation of the flight control surfaces is accurate both in timing and movements, making this simulation a highly realistic and accurate model to fly.
