| Panel
Features We are determined to
create the most realistic panel ever made for Microsoft Flight Simulator and
include in it the following features: - Realistic rendering of all the
gauges. 3D-looking cockpit using the latest techniques in rendering the
shadows and using high quality textures.
- Vector gauges - EADI, EHSI, and
ECAM. Using the new technology we have achieved the capability of smoothing
the lines to a point where they don't look edged anymore, but instead have
nice and smooth curves which allows the data in the gauges to change without
jitters.
- Complete implementation of EHSI
and EADI functionality and modes of operation
- Two fully operational ECAM
displays. This alert and warning system would include all of the real sounds
and warning messages which the real pilot would see in a real cabin.
- Absolute overall functionality of
the panel. All the gauges and switches would be working, and if there is a
button, you can bet that it is there for a reason and not for the dummy
effect.
- Real-world modeled systems of the
airplane. Electrical, hydraulic, air and fuel system, all of that would work
exactly as if it would be in a real plane.
- All altimeters work
independently. If you set 1013 millibars on primary altimeter, this doesn't
mean you'll get the same barometric setting on others.
- Individual and Complex failure
system. Just like in a real life, there is always a chance that something can
go wrong, small things, big things, all of things And the functionality of
the onboard equipment would depend on the functionality of the aircraft
systems, so one failure could trigger malfunctions in many other gauges and
controls.
- Realistic procedure for the APU
and Engine startup. But we do know that not all of you are pro pilots, so we
will include an option where you can select the level of realism that fits you
best.
- 100% real-functionality FMS. This
onboard computer will be fully functional in every mode of operation including
even the functions which were never used in MSFS before. With this one you can
be sure that if there is a function in the real FMS, we would have it too.
- Ability to print the flight plans
which would be identical to those used by real pilots
- 100% authentic AFDS (Automatic
Flight Direction System) which is used to fly the plane during all stages
beginning from the take-off and all the way to complete engine shut-down at
the gate at the end of the trip.
- 100% real Auto-Thrust
functionality in all stages of the flight such as Climb or Descent
- Fully functional IRS (Inertial
Reference System) which would be depended upon by all the navigation equipment
on your plane.
- Fully functional RAT (Ram Air
Turbine)
Enough about the
panel, let's take a look at the airplane itself... - 100% real dynamic flight model
developed and rigorously tested by real A310 pilots
- Virtual cockpit will stun you
with the details making you feel as if it would be the real thing.
- Visual model done using the real
design blueprints of the A310, so everything that you would see on the real
plane, you will see here too.
- The plane will utilize everything
that MSFS has to offer. Everything that is animated in a real A310, is
animated in our plane. Rotating wheels, opening doors not only in the
passenger cabin, but even a small window in the cockpit (pilots need some
fresh air, when on the ground, too). We even decided to include the suspension
effect, so when you move or land, you will see the shock absorbers on the
tires in action. - Got you excited, didn't we? But this is just a short list
of all the visual features that would be implemented in the plane.
- High resolution textures will
insure that the plane would look even closer to the real thing.
- And finally, we will even give
you the tool to repaint the plane however you want, so every plane can be
truly unique.
But even that is not
all. In the package we will also include some utilities - Plane load utility will include
everything you need. Passenger and Freight Load Utility, Fuel Calculator which
will calculate the amount of fuel needed based on the loaded flight plan, or
based on the flight plan in the process of creation.
- Utility to add Navaids, SID/STAR
to the database
- A Collection of templates for you
to repaint the plane
Well, we got most of
the things out to you, so it is time for us to get back to work. If we continue
on working on this list, it will take us just as long as to develop the plane
itself :) , so we will stop at the basic description and very soon you will be
able to fly the plane and see for yourself all of the functionality and its
features, some of which are really unique for today's MSFS level of development.
Note: Limited to no technical support is available for this product. For FS2004. |
