Flightsimlabs - A319/A320-X/A321

Fakt ist: Wers als erstes schafft, was gutes zu machen (Grafik, Systeme UND Performance) der wird reich

naja... "reich" würde ich nicht unterschreiben... Gibt ja eh wieder wen, der es in 24 Stunden gecracked hat... :-/

Na ja warten wir es mal ab was dabei rumkommt. Aber es stimmt ein richtig guter Airbus das hätte wirklich mal was. Mit guten Boeing Fliegern sind wir ja mittlerweile versorgt. Ein 330/340 hätte auch mal was.

Naja da fehlen auch noch die Triple Seven und eine 757...

Ein Königreich für einen vernünftigen A330!!!

Im Forum dort hat sich jemand die Mühe gemacht und alles zusammengefasst was man bis jetzt dazu weiß:

COMPACT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FSLabs A3XX-Series
LAST UPDATED: 05.October 2012

ATTENTION: I'M NOT A MEMBER OF FLIGHT SIM LABS AND I DO NOT OWN ANY SECRET INFORMATION. EVERYTHING WRITTEN BELOW IS BASED ON FACTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN PUBLIC.

I tried to collect the various information floating around about the upcoming A320 in news articles and this forums to give the costumers an overview and prevent new questions that have already been answered.

Versions
- "Entertainment version" for FSX
- "Professional version" for another platform, probably Prepar3d and definitely NOT for FSX
- Both versions will be available for the "normal" costumer

Why 2 versions?
The split into 2 versions is the result of
- licensing conflicts (FSX is an "entertainment" platform, the "professional version" will feature a training/commercial licence)
- FSX limitations that prevent many features or are complicating the programming of those
- the price of such "professional version", which also requires a certification process if it's meant to be used for training purposes.

What are the differences?
- Both versions will feature mostly the same aircraft in terms of aircraft systems and sytem behaviour
- The major difference will be the presence of a failure generator/instructor station for the "professional version" but also some other features that are intended for pilots and enthusiasts.

- In contrast to that, there will be no option to trigger failures in the "entertainment version", despite there will be an option to switch on a failure engine that triggers failures on its own. Those failures can then be handled like in the real aircraft (ECAM, etc.) in both versions.

The occurrence of failures in the "entertainment version" will be depending on aircraft handling, environment conditions and the probability for a specific failure in the real aircraft.
(hot/hung starts, ignition failures, compressor stalls and many others)

- Multicrew is planned to be included in the "professional version"

Panels
- Full set of 2D-panels
- Captain and first officer view
- IFR and VFR panel version (small or full ECAM view)
- All displays are pop-able and sizeable
- EIS2 LCD layout

Systems
- Every "flight sim related" system is simulated (but not the coffee machine in the galley )
- Custom coded 3D fuel system simulating realistic fluids behaviour, depending on various environment factors
- Custom coded engine simulation, fully independent from FSX > realistic single engine taxi possible
- Systems following various ARINC-specifications: ARINC429 (with ARINC 600/615 data stream support), ARINC 424 protocols, and RS422 (with ARINC 600 support) that are also used in the real aircraft
- Accurate simulation of the different electric and hydraulic systems
- A "system behind the systems" that simulates the data flow/connections like in the real aircraft
- Complete custom coded FBW system
- Extremely accurate lift and drag simulation based on comprehensive data from various visits of Level-D simulators and real flights and also running outside of FSX
- recreating the EIS2 (LCD-Screens, updated systems, etc.)
- System simulation that is running outside of FSX is supporting multi core CPUs and also uses the GPU
- Full recreation IRS system with position drift and GPS update when able
- Recreation of system behaviour that isn't documented in the FCOM but existing in the real world

Sound
- Innovative 3D sound design that allows the developer to place sounds at specific points in space
- Based on various high quality recordings

Virtual Cockpit and Exterior Model
- Presence of a mix of painted and photo real textures, resulting in a immersive and realistic look
- High resolution exterior model (e.g. writings below the static ports are readable)
- Virtual cabin viewable from the outside
- Visible simulation of wear and tear in VC and 2D cockpit depending on the time of use

Miscellaneous
- Comprehensive set of manuals and tutorials
- Different saved flight states
- Different liveries of the most common airlines flying the A320 in the real world available on release
- Other Airbus models (A319, A321) are planned as seperate products in the future, A318 depending on the consumer demand
- A330 and/or later A340 might be an option for the far future.
- Navdata will be provided by any company that licenses the FSLabs data converter for ARINC 424 text files

Release
- Release of the "entertainment version" is planned to be around november/december 2012,
(Mr. Kalamaras at the flightsim conference in Munich 2012) Remember: This can always be subject to change

Pricing
- Not definded yet

Beta Tester
- FSLabs has a stock of experienced beta testers who worked on previous products
- If there should be any need for additional testers (which is not clear atm.), there would be an announcement in the forums

Klingt richtig gut

Tests von Anit-Ice Systemen etc...

Meint ihr, dass das ganze schon Teil des Betatests ist, und wir die Kiste (so wie ursprünglich von L.K geplant) noch Ende des Jahres sehen?

Ich lehne mich jetzt mal (ohne jedes Faktenwissen, nur so ein Gefühl aufgrund von Gerüchten!) aus dem Fenster:
Ich vermute aufgrund der Zeitachse, dass die den Airsimmer fertig bauen. Sprich, die haben den Code von AS übernommen und machen es jetzt fertig.

Und das es gut werden wird, glaube und hoffe ich auch: die Concorde von denen ist einfach nur der HAMMER. Wenn der Bus in diese Region vorstösst, haben wir vieleicht den ersten Richtigen!

Ich fänds blöd wenn sie uns jetzt alles offenlegen was und wie sie in den Flieger packen wollen. Ich würds begrüßen ein "In die Fresse" release zu bekommen, BÄM und da. So kann wenigstens vorher keiner rumweinen was drin is und was nich und wo se Zeit verschwendet haben.

A lá flytampa. Fänd ich auch gut.. Und PMDG bitte genauso

Wenn ich mir das hier so durchlese..

..und man betrachtet, wie die Jungs mit Betatestbanner so plaudern.. könnte man fast denken, die Kiste ist in Beta... Auf facebook hat FSL bereits geschrieben, dass der erste A320 in die Lackiererei gerollt ist

Gruß,

Soll da eigentlich auch ein A319 kommen? An dem hätte ich eher Interesse, dann könnte man ein wenig Teutonenflügel ex Kölle bewegen.

Zunächst ist nur der A320 geplant, dann soll es woll weitergehen mit A319/A321 und evtl A318, und ein A330 soll wohl auf der Liste stehen. Hat halt den angenehmen Vorteil, dass man die Flight-Guidance (und damit den Hauptteil der Arbeit) übernehmen kann. Hauptsächliche Änderungen sind dann nur noch Fuelsystems, bisschen Systeme anpassen an die Flugzeugtypen, dementsprechende Veränderungen im COckpit, und ein neues Aussenmodell+Flightdynamics. Wesentliche Bestandtteile kann man vom A320 übernehmen.

Aber a319 soll später dann kommen

Sehr schön.

An i7 quad-core has four cores. The A320-X will use all 8 CPU threads, but the gains are minimal - in fact, FSX is best running without hyperthreading enabled.

Some of our aircraft are in the paint shop (which we did state on our Facebook page only a few weeks ago).

We're waiting for them to come back before sharing any more screenshots - our graphics artists had some suggestions for the paint kit to make it easier to use, which has meant a little more work than we anticipated, but we're back on track now to getting our first few A320-X's airborne in some colours!

In terms of When? - it is company policy not to share our internal schedules, so all I can tell you is that we are making very good progress. Remember, we're keeping news on this one quite close to our chest, simply because the product contains so many innovations and neat little features.

I've read a lot of people saying 'Why should I care for such details, I won't notice them'. You will - there are so many, it creates an immersion factor not really experienced before within MSFS. For example, I flew a two hour engineering test flight with our A320-X yesterday evening and got into a bit of trouble on the takeoff run. You'll have seen the crews on the A320 series spool the engines to 50% first before applying takeoff power, and for good reason - if you have an older engine on one side it will take longer to spool up. Spooling to 50% first ensures both engines stabilise before applying takeoff power. Well, I had skipped the 50%, gone straight to TOGA and sure enough, one of the engines hadn't been reset (or 'Serviced') like the other had, so there was quite a difference in the spool up time to TOGA, making it very difficult to stay on the runway until both engines were at speed.

Another surprise caught my eye when I lowered the landing gear - in fact I got straight on the phone to Lefteris because it was something I hadn't seen before - and he confirmed it was a new feature he'd added last month. Very neat - you'll love it!

So you see - these small details, collectively, make a big difference! Oh, and the results from the engineering test flight - the systems we were testing operated within a margin of 0.2% error compared with results from the real aircraft. So there's still room for improvement

Anyway, I digress - some updates to follow when we get something back from the paint shop in the next few weeks.

Hört sich vielversprechend an. Alleine schon der Realismusansatz, im Gegensatz zu Aeorosoft...
Ich bin gespannt Denke aber das wird frühestens Ende Januar, Anfang Februar was.
