Since 2016, I have been building a simple home cockpit for flight simulation based on X-Plane 11. but I show both in detail of what you have in features and what you don't, but I agree a comparison of all current FMS would be a good idea.Wayne Piekarski | X-Plane plugins and applications wayne piekarski The hybrid versions on the RW Designs A330 and Peter's Series of Airbuses are more a compromise but can be like in Peter's case very fine tuned in the performance area as Peter Hager is obsessive about the performance of his aircraft, were as JARDesign performances are just a little off, so it is one to the other. No FMS is going to reproduce absolutely the full FMS system, we may get there in a few years, but what we have now and certainly on JARDesigns A330/A320 is damn pretty good. So I would say that is a pretty close to the actual systems. I noted the JARDesign uses the Thales and Smiths Aerospace 'Topflight' FMS' which it does and to use the FMS you have to use the official Airbus Thales and Smiths manual. This will be more important for us as sim pilots than to get a high quality model design. To make this point clear it will be very useful if you could evaluate both systems in comparison. What remains is primarily set numbers for passenger, weight, fuel and planning the route.(Please have a look at the threads about in )Īs you yourself described, the RWD 'hybrid' A330 FMC of the A330 seems to me to be much more sophisticated. It is simplified to a minimum, it punished you if you made a mistake taking you out of route with no return, it don't allow you to change important managed values and you cannot see the whole speed management on screen. You wrote ' The Airbus A330 uses the excellent Thales and Smiths Aerospace 'Topflight' FMS', well the TS FMS might be excellent but the A320neo FMS is to refer to anything other than good or at least adequate. The other side is telling me another story, a sadly one about the FMC. But this is only the one side of the story. I agree that it is one of the best if not the best designed aircraft model in X-Plane. I think that you were too dazzled from the really excellent design. R eading your revue I think that this time you really put your foot in it with this your critique. I like to read your revues learning a lot about the models and saving time to go through manuals. I owned the A320neo more than a year ago and I think to know a lot about this model.
