This package by CLS brings you some of the highest resolution, exquisitely designed Airbus add-ons for Microsoft Simulator X and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. Inside, you get access to two specific aircraft;
- A340-500
- A340-600
This gives you all the help that you need to make a significant mark on the simulation world from the cockpit of an Airbus aircraft. Additionally, you get many different painting styles and official liveries that have been used in real life in the past; giving you full reign over what type of Airbus you will fly as well as the style.
Key Features
-
The exterior models of each aircraft has been designed using many hours of video footage, and high-resolution images to get every single panel and rivet correct. Nothing comes out of place on the Airbus designs, with every single little addition accounted for to provide maximum levels of realism to any one taking to the skies in an Airbus
-
The cockpit has also been imagined to authentic standards, with a fully virtual set-up included. This means that everything you see in front of you is usable, and that every little cosmetic addition you would hope and like to see within a traditional pilots cockpit is present. No detail or expense was spared in getting these prepared to look their very best
-
Wingviews have been included to make sure that you can see everything behind you and to your side with maximum ease – no more changing camera angles to get a better look of the world around you, when the wingviews work perfectly
-
3D pushback truck is included to give you even more features that you would come to expect from an realistic Airbus design
-
The tires stay flat to the ground when the aircraft is taking off, while many aircraft within the series tend to take off a little bit from the ground. This helps to add to the realism and the little effects that make all of the difference when flying an aircraft in a simulator
-
A dynamic shine has been created on each aircraft for maximum efficiency and quality in the design, giving you same realistic effects you would see in real-life were the sun reflecting, allowing you to get a full picture of just how much detail was included
What You Get
Alongside a wealth of features that play to the soul and heart of the aircrafts that are provided, you get a stunning level of detail as well. Many liveries and paints have been included that have realistic paintwork, using many reference photos to guide the creation process, as well as a layered paint kit that lets you create your own designs and liveries without extensive design knowledge. You get access to liveries such as;
A340-500
- Singapore Airlines design
- Airbus Industries design
- Thai Airways design
- Etihad Airways design
- Air Canada (OC/NC/Hybrid)
- Emirates Airlines design FIFA 2006, Dubai Shopping 2006 Edition
A340-600

- Thai Airways design
- Virgin Atlantic design
- Lufthansa design
- Iberia design
- Fabric Primer design

Additional Features
-
The FDE has been calibrated and tuned to absolute perfection within these designs of Airbus aircraft. Highly-specific and advanced Airbus documentation was used to create this FDE system, as well as first-hand knowledge & experience of Airbus full motion as well as 6-axis simulators to help create the perfect representation of the aircraft that the simulators allow
-
Performance has been based on many readings and discussions with experts, and is loosely based on the FAA Level D simulation devices that are incredibly popular with Airbus pilots due to their close proximity to reality
-
Both aircraft uses a default MSFS flight planner and Navigation Log system so that you can get accurate flight planning and logging details along the way. The flight itself can be logged just the way that you want with ease by making use of the features already in the game
-
More than 60 contact points/damage profiles have been included for incredible realism if you find yourself in a scrape. This lets your aircraft take on a look of its own if you wind up damaging the aircraft in any way – you also won’t be able to hide it from anyone as the damage will be clear on the high-definition model designs!
-
Soundsets were recorded from genuine A340 flights, as well as combination with famous sounds like a Rolls Royce Trent 500s to create the perfect balance that the game can manage properly
-
Full checklists and reference charts are provided, the exact same as you would get with the real thing to help add even more layers of realism to the design. Full operation manual also provided, written by a simulation expert
-
2D panels have been realistically created to give you maximum control over your aircraft regardless of what you want to activate or use. Every single feature possible to include in the simulator has been included so that you never need to miss out on a feature or an experiment ever again
-
Realistic designs make it easy to tell what function does what, allowing for you to set easy flight plans all from the comfort of your cockpit
-
Systems covered from hydraulic pressure to high-end flight controls, allowing you to map every single section of the cockpit with something that actually works, other than just acting as a part of the design!
-
You can even access Sids & Stars in the Microsoft Flight Simulator database from the cockpit, allowing you input radio & navigation frequency figures and even calculate your v-speed for even more realism and to keep a progress report of your flight
