SimCheck A300B4-200 close to release

[Hanover]

Model specifications

• FSX-only 3D models: a cargo model and a passenger model
• All the passenger, belly and cargo doors can be opened and closed individually
• Front and aft passenger stairs, a fully moving cargo loader and GPU model. For people using AES or other ground scenery addons we have added on options hiding ground animatiosn except for the GPU
• Moving APU air inlet door
• Low speed/high speed aileron split animations
• Realistic spoiler animation
• Main landing gear bogie tilt
• Bump bitmap
• Retracting and extending main landing lights
• Complete virtual cockpit with predefined camera positions
• Textures from a number airlines are available and more are added on a regular basis
• A Photoshop based paintkit will be made available

Sound

• High end 3D engine sound simulation
• Cockpit switch sounds based on actual recording inside the cockpit
• Speed and extension depended wind sound from the landing gear
• Speed and extension depended rumble sound from the spoilers
• Cockpit oral warning based on real life recordings

Panel

• Complete captains and first officer panel with independent gauges (except altimeter)
• Independent standby altimeter
• GPWS simulation with 6 modes
• TCAS panel with realistic TA (RA not simulated as that doesn't make sense in FSX since there is no communication between aircraft!)
• Comms panel with 2 independent NDB's

Pedestal

• Double INS/CDU system that allows manual waypoint entry but also running off an FSX XML flightplan. The INS will follow great circle flightpath
• Fuel panel with 5 fuel tanks, fuel dump gauge and fuel loading gauge. Both featuring realistic fueling/defueling and fuel dump speeds
• APU panel that actually uses fuel from the correct tank(s), realistic start-up and shutdown times
• Hydraulics panel with realistic use of hydraulics fluids and linked to the correct flight control surfaces
• Pneumatics, packs, cabin temperature control and cabin pressurisation control with realistic simulation (e.g. open the door end the temperature will change depending on the external temperature, cabin differential pressure based on standard atmoshere + correction for actual conditions)
• Electrics panel with separate AC and DC system
• Autopilot and autothrottle based on PID controllers working like the real thing, no FSX standard autopilot nor autothrottle used
• ROLL and PITCH modes are simulated: enter a roll and the aircraft will maintain the current bank angle (bank is automatically limited to 25°, bank angles < 5° will have the aircraft level the wings), set the aircraft to a certain vertical speed and the aircraft will maintain the vertical speed
• Realistic N1 limit computer
• Settings panel with 4 predefined panel states, performance calculation (optimal/maximum levels based on gross weight), ability to call fuel truck, jetway etc...
• Fully featured overhead panel with, amongst other things, Yellow Accu Pressure simulation: No yellow accu pressure = no parking brake. Yellow accu pressure will last about 30 minutes before the parking brake is disconnected because of lack of pressurisation
• Realistic pitch trim simulation: You can actually trim the aircraft to fly the attitude you want, not the attitude FSX "thinks" you want...
• All panel settings are saved between sessions based on the name of the currently loaded flight. Saving a flight "in flight" is not a good idea however, flights should best be saved before take-off our after landing. In total around 400 variables are saved between flights...
• Dragable speed bugs on the 2D panel
• Dragable altitude bug on the 2D panel
• GDI+ based airspeed indicator, RMI, ADI and HSI for smooth and accurate needle movements

Flight model

• Realistic flight handling tested by a professional A300 Captain
• Realistic engine performance in flight
• Realistic fuel use during flight but also during start-up and taxi
• Realistic braking performance

Limitations

• Because we hardly use any default FSX variables and controls, shared cockpit is not supported
• No FS9 model is planned at this time
• INS does not have an MSU, no VOR updating or drift
• We have decided not to add a weather radar as FSX does not provide detailed enough information to make a radar that has any real use
• Panel will only work with (a very recent) FSUIPC installed

이제품도 FSX만 지원하나 보군요...ㅠ_ㅠ패널,외부디테일 정말 예술인데....

[하늘곰]

내용에있네요;; FS9모델 이번에 지원안합니다

[Athena[이준호]]

헐.. 대박... 지금 구입이 되는건가요?

[조인피스]

디테일이 장난 아닙니다만.. 출시 직전인거 같죠..?)^^

[심유민]

요크가 안보이는건 저뿐인가요?? 마땅한 A300 모델이 없어서 CLS꺼 쓰고 있었는데 기대 되네요...특히 INS지원하는 기체를 꽤나 기다렸었는데...
다만 아직은 FS9 유저로써 아쉬울 뿐...ㅋ A300B4 에 이어서 A300-600 모델도 나왔으면 좋겠네요...

[SAVAGEX(김원태)]

아직 테스트중 아닐까요?ㅎㅎ

[KE637(김민석)]

저두 지금 위를 다시한번 봣는데 요크가 안보이네요. 저두 제가 잘못본건지........;;;;; 그런데 디테일은 아주 .......... 대박인데요 -ㅅ-

[하늘걸음(한승준)]

-600R도 좀 내줘요+_+

[SAVAGEX(김원태)]

워매... 기대만빵입니다~^^

[광개토태왕]

이런기사 볼때마다 슬퍼요 ㅜㅜ 2004용좀 제발~~~
