The A300B4-200 series is a first generation Airbus with analogue steam-gauges and a (for that time) advanced autopilot. Some of the current operators have made cockpit upgrades based on various GPS systems where the ADI was replaced with an EADI, the HSI replaced with an ND, the CDU replaced with a (basic) FMS. We have not simulated these upgrades as they where not included in the original aircraft! Because the Airbus autopilot systems are so different from the FSX implementation of an autopilot we decided to reinventing the autopilot from scratch. We send commands to the elevator trim and elevator trim to control the attitude and bank angle of the aircraft based on so called PID controllers. This results in very realistic autopilot behavior. We did the same thing with the autothrottle, so don`t be amazed if the aircraft is not able to maintain the correct airspeed in turbulent air. Do as the real pilots do: turn off the autothrottle and switch to manual control !

This aircraft was developed in cooporation with real pilots, the training department of a major cargo operator flying the A300 and based on experience in the full motion A300B4-203 simulator at Brussels Airport, Belgium and will be distributed by Aerosoft in both boxed and download format. Below are some highlights of the SimCheck A300B4-200 simulation...

  • also there must be something with your joystick deadzone - as you dont get full reverse - just a bit ;)

  • Really? I have the Saitek X52.

  • btw: you didnt install the font for the INS digits :)

  • I know, I have fixed it now! :-)

    But almost everybody has this problem with the installer. It doesn´t install the font for the INS.

    I really like the support from you at aerosoft´s forum. Just downloaded the font and installed it.

  • even better than the wilco's air simmer etcccc?

  • Airsimmer isn´t released yet for FSX. And the Basic package for FS2004 has lot´s of bugs. Maybe in one year they release the Advanced version. I´m very disappointed with Airsimmer, and that are many other ones, too. I have myself the Airbus Series Volume 1 from Wilco, and I don´t like it that much, because the autopilot and the Flybywire system don´t work properly and exactly. Look at PMDG´s autopilot. It keeps you exactly in the badest weather condition e.g. on the ILS.
