I’ve just noticed they have the CPDLC machines in there… if they are non functional in the sim, pretty well sums up the functionality we have in the real plane.

Yeah…our ATIS here in CLT more often than not mentions that CPDLC is out of service…
For those that own the A318/19/20/21…Aerosoft has released the A318 “Research” version. Apparently this is a module that will test new Aerosoft techniques and programming…sort of like a running beta.
EDIT - Be aware though…that if you bought the Airbus “bundle”…those serials won’t work until MONDAY!

At the end of this month we’ll release a special edition of our A318. We call it the A318 Research Edition . This will be a free download for all of our current Bus customers and it will be a test bed for all our Airbus developments. It’s not intended for the beginners and should NOT be seen in any way as a new release or official update.
We decided this was the best way to go as problems with testing kept growing. with 3 current sim platforms and a kazillion of other add-ons to test with doing all these test at the end would delay a release tremendously. I also think a lot of our customers will like to follow our development. If you are lucky we’ll name a bug after you! Flying this version will not entitle you to a free update later, but of course we’ll make sure that people who help us a lot will be rewarded.
What you get is a fully stand alone A318 (so it will not affect the current 1.31 version in any way) with the files that we have only tested very shortly internally. A new build will be released every two weeks but you might get new files at any moment we feel something might work. Frustration is almost guaranteed and you will always have to be able to take control. What you also get is access to our closed forums where you can complain and shout that things suck. What you will not get is any guarantee things will work or even that we’ll reply to your forum posts.
In this version we’ll test our new FBW, FMGS, MCDU, ND, PFD and other systems. It should be flyable from the start and you will see that all of these systems are seriously updated.

Completely off-topic but I just saw my first A350 in SFO today. Surprisingly ugly. I thought they were badarse in the formation video Airbus put out last year. But seen from the perspective of another cockpit it just looks like a 767.
Yeah…I get down to Charleston, SC quite a bit in my flying, so I get to see them pretty regularly there where they are building some of them. The jaggie edges on the back of the engine nacelles are kind of cool. One thing that was really cool about them though is they are whisper quiet when taxiing. I don’t know why…but it was pretty neat seeing one go by a couple hundred feet away and not having to plug your ears.

They indeed are pretty impressive albeit a little maintenance intensive compared to its predecessor.
