Key Features

• Dedicated design that is made to really push the FSX engine to the very limits - takes every last bit of footage necessary and has created a package that easily represents the real-life equivalent by using many different sources to create something genuine and realistic as opposed to a cheap imitation that you might find elsewhere

• High quality virtual cockpit that fits with the models level of performance and class - makes it easier than ever before to run your simulation as the virtual cockpit offers functionality as well as performance, having been optimized to run as smoothly as it possibly can

• Custom-coded Multifunction Control Display Unit, giving you full control over the aircraft from the minute you step foot into the cockpit - this makes it easier than ever to plan your flight out, track the flight progress, get overviews on everything that you might need and even set up checklists so that you can follow the progress and ensure that you are hitting your targets

• Custom dynamics such as fuel and weight carrying capacity using various A318 official references to make sure that every last feature and addition has been accounted for, verified and proved to be the case before it was implemented

• A variety of new camera angles included as well as being able to show the wings from the interior view of the cockpit, giving you the actual view that a real-life pilot would have when flying!

• Bump maps included to make the liveries feel even more realistic, as well as secular effects included on each livery to give the aircraft a much better shine from the sun and the elements around it

• New animations included such as the wheels rotating and the engine fans turning on to give the aircraft even more life - you will see the hardware clicking into place and revving up rather than magically going from on to off again immediately!

• Special effects such as tyre smoke effects, fire and sparks from the underbelly if you over-rotate the aircraft and even smoke from the engine when it first turns on makes the aircraft look the best that it ever can within the FSX engine, giving you more realism and quality than ever seen before in a representation of the A318
