The luck is that you must use only PFD on landings, but in cruise you will find yourself scrolling a lot, or switching views with EZDOK. If I want that, I must rotate a bit down the POV to see both displays but then the front window will be practically in upper part of the screen, makes it very hard to orientate on landings. I want my landing lights switches in one standardised position (eg lower overhead) in all Boeing models! Cockpit visibility is not that good, I can't set my POV in 757 to see the runway and both displays in the same time. :lol: Also various switches are not in the standardised position in all Boeing models, like in the Airbus. The cockpits are not that well organised, sometimes I have a feeling that Boeing is using the random function to place buttons and switches around the cockpit. Project Airbus has a very good V3 package for A320/A321, but they are simple system wise and they are using default FSX Airbus cockpit.īoeing - very rewarding for advanced simmers, lots of systems to play with, more buttons and switches to keep you occupied, and of course the learning curve can be steep in most of the models. You have Wilco Evolution family, and CLS Airbus series, and seeing them on YouTube I didn't got the feel of quality, especialy for CLS models. Only negative thing about Airbus - you don't have lots of options for quality and complex models in FSX, the best bet so far is Airbus X Extended, but it is very hard on frames on my system. You can check that in various YouTube videos. The key with FBW is to be VERY active on a stick on finals and landings, you must practice that alot. And the horizon line is in the middle of the view, where it should be.įlyByWire system can be really frustrating for beginners, because there is a big delay after control input (for a reason), so in the start you could often find yourself switching off FBW system during finals.

you can easily move POV up to see runway and both displays all the time. In A3xx the visibility is superb, especially on landings. One thing that I will miss is cockpit visibility. Also, Airbus cockpits are better organised, buttons/switches are easier to find, AP management is easier than in Boeing. Boeing!Īirbus - very good for beginners, more automated systems, less buttons and switches, generally learning curve in Airbus is shorter than in Boeing. Now I'm in "transition altitude", switching to Boeing, getting used to different cockpit layout, AP, etc. And ofcourse I love it because I flew in PA 320 for a year. Yesterday I finally bought QW 757 after a year of prolonging, and I love it. I was Airbus fan for 2 years, flying only A320/321.
