It's a pretty basic stock FS2024 plane ported over. I was excited since it's a big beast, but it kinda flies like a really heavy A320. Airbusii are systems management planes and that just never engages me.

I mean, for $13, I can enjoy almost any plane long enough to explore it, though!

(Pics from FS2024, but I'd imagine the biggest difference is the tablet.)

From what I've read in the past, all Airbus planes use FBW that's designed to make them all feel very similar to make type transitions easier, so feeling like a heavy 320 kinda makes sense.

I don't really notice the subtle differences that others talk about. If a Cessna 172 flies like I'd imagine it would, I'm happy. If a 172 flies like I'd image a 747 would, then that I'll notice.
