Airbus Collection with Lufthansa Repaints for FSX & FS2004

The exterior of the models show a lot of polish. All textures are high quality and include specular shine and night lighting, along with Alpha technology. They are 1024 x 1024 pixels, which results in great visuals without putting too much strain on your system and causing inconsistent frame rates. You'll notice various animations such as flaps and slats, cabin doors and landing gears. Nothing out of the ordinary, but definitely integral to a satisfying flight. More specialist animations are present, such as that for the engine thrust reverser. Realistic flight dynamics paired with accurate sounds recorded from the real world Rolls Royce TREND 900 engines, help round out the feel of the various Airbus models.

From inside the Virtual Cockpit, a host of things are of note. The center console features your throttle and engine control, trim wheel, radio controls and your FMC (Flight Management Computer). Easily visible primary-Flight-Displays, multifunction displays and switchable EICAS displays mean you can all ways be in control of both the aircraft and the flight data. A large upper panel with numerous, real deposited switches helps build the 3D space around you and keep you closed in. While the reflections on the cockpit windows do wonders for immersion, as they help blend the interior and exterior environments. Overall, the cockpit feels cozy, but nothing less than fully fledged; it has everything in it you need for safe and successful flights.

Considering the amount contained in this package, the download will not take up much disk space, so you need not worry about having to sacrifice anything else on your hard drive to make space for it.
