The interior of the add-on from
Aerosoft delivers on the publishers
promise of quality. The virtual
cockpit is rendered realistically and
textured superbly.
All of the controls, gauges, monitors,
switches, and knobs are movable
and make for a boosted level of
realism with the model and coupled
with the realistically modelled flying
dynamics make for what is possibly
the most realistic desktop simulator
experience I’ve ever had.
B
y this time pretty much
everyone knows and loves the
original A320/A321 series from
Aerosoft. Now we can enjoy their
standalone expansion to that series,
the Airbus A318/A319.
The add-on is equally as expertly
crafted as the real thing, and really
builds upon the level of detail and
quality that we have come to expect
from Aerosoft’s previous Airbus X
Extended add-on. The A318/A319
are truly study-level and feature
ultra realistic systems and flying
dynamics that rival any add-ons
before it.
France, to American Airlines, or
German Wings, they’re all included when you purchase the add-on,
and if you can’t find the livery you’re
looking for directly from Aersoft
there is a large amount already of
community member created paints
for the add-on, and many virtual
airlines already operate it and
feature a downloadable livery for the
add-on.
Besides the stunning sight the
add-on offers, there are equally as
amazing sounds to go with them.
The sounds that Aerosoft have
included with the add-on are truly
grade A quality, and only add to the
realistic immersion of flying the
Airbus A318 or A319.
Also modelled with awesome detail
of course is what is probably one of
the most important factors to any
hardcore simmer - the way the
aircraft flys.
I can honestly say that I’ve spent
literally countless hours flying this
add-on and I’ve never once gotten at
all tired of it. The experience offered
is very rich and I can only immagine
that you will be presented with the
same feeling about the aircraft.
Aerosoft’s team has done an
exceptional job with the design and
execution of putting this model
together. The texturing work is
amazing and the add-on features
many iconic liveries of the aircraft
operated around the world right out
of the box. From Easy Jet, or Air
The flight dynamics on Aerosoft’s
model, along with all of their past
high quality add-ons is highly
realistic. In fact, as far as desktop
simulators go, I slate this as being at
least one of the top five aircraft ever
modelled for realism of flight, if not
number one for this. The add-on has
truly went above and beyond my
expectation, and even my hopes for
it. The add-on is an instant flight
simulator classic, and I hope that
Aerosoft will continue to develop
and build upon it as PMDG have with
their NGX and 777.
