This is a really nice model(s). Couple of minor issues which are fixable. First as Doublecool mentioned on the above post, the mains sit too high creating a nose down wheelbarrel stance while on the ground regardless of the fuel and weight. Secondly, the differential braking doesn't work making it difficult to ground steer the model in tight turns. It tends to push ahead when you tiller the nosewheel hard to one side. Minor issues though. I am going to try and level the ground stance in the contact points this evening and see what happens.
As to what could be improved later in an update besides the mentioned items here? The flight model could be for sure. It flies way better than the stock A321 in my opinion. However, the real Airbus A series FBW FCS have built in limiters on the bank and pitch attitudes as well as autothrottle response to steep pitch changes. This has been modeled quite well in the Feelthere/Wilco Airbus sets. The control feel is very sterile unlike Boeings having a very solid/live feel. It also has "preset" bank and pitch angle moments in the FCS. For example, you can start your takeoff roll and rotate at your precalculated V Speeds and after rotation, you can release the stick and the plane will maintain pitch atitude/angle. In manual turns(autopilot off), you simply bank the plane with an input on the stick and the plane will turn without a need to hold in back pressue or bank. It autocoordinates the turn until you level the wings. No rudder input is needed. While flying on autopilot with this model, you're not going to notice the control feel obviously. But when you cut the autopilot, the control feel is in "pure control law" all the time wereas the real Airbus is only in this control config on takeoff and the last 100 feet & less before landing.
Once again, not a gripe, just an observation where an outstanding model could get an upgrade in this area later on. It is a keeper for sure!
Bravo!!!:ernae:
