FSX/P3D. Aerosoft has released another major update for the Airbus Extended. This update is a completely new build and addresses several issues and fixes. Head over to Aerosoft and get the update and kudos to the development team for the superb support and fantastic product! Thanks to Friðberg Leifs Jensson for the tipoff!
The Airbus X V1.15 has just been released.
Please note that there will be NO updater from V1.10. It is a full new build. Also, we decided not to include MCE in the installer, it will be available as a separate download later.
Please lastly note that all previous navdata cycles are INCOMPATIBLE with the V1.15. Navigraph and NavdataPro will release their navdata cycles with the new format shortly.
Lastly, please restart after your new install for the fonts to be properly installed.

o The GA (Go Around) Checklist / Co‐pilot functions have been extended (chapter 5.22).
o Also included is a tutorial part how to set up the MCDU in case of a diversion to an alternate destination airport (ALTN) and how to work with alternate company routes (ALT CO RTE). Details you will find in chapter 7.
o NPA (non‐precision approach) the chapter has been completely reworked and some general explanations added (based on the information of a real A320 pilot).
Aircraft States
o The four aircraft states have been modified. All FCU settings of the COLD / DARK state have been set to a minimum respectively to 000 whereas the TURNAROUND
state loads now exactly like after a “managed” ILS‐landing. The TAXI and TAKE‐OFF states are fully “managed” and the first altitude for both states is set to 7.000 feet.
View System
o There were graphic “artefacts” respectively PFD, ND, UPPER and LOWER ECAM were “greyed out” if WING VIEWS were set to ON and the user changed between FULL
SCREEN and WINDOW view mode. Those problems have been solved.
o MCDU (separate window)
o The left MCDU can be opened as a separate window. The key combination to open this window has been changed and is now SHIFT+2.
FCU Displays

Checklist‐ / Co‐pilot Functionality

o The day and night views are no longer depending on the overhead panel light but on the FSX “current time” setting.
o Switch Positions
o The switch positions e. g. for TCAS and TILT, as well as for the various others switches like signs, lights etc. have been newly programmed and the checklist as well as co‐pilot function adjusted.
o Co‐pilot entering ALT values
o The ALT values (first altitude after Take‐off and GA altitude will be entered by the co‐pilot in visible steps (with sound) and also considering the 100 and 1000 switch.
o Cabin‐crew Take‐off call
o The cabin‐crew Take‐off call now starts app. one plane length before the runway holding point (instead of during taxiing to the runway).
o Doors automatically closing
o If the plane is “relocated” after loading the COLD/DARK state e. g. the gate is changed, then FSX automatically closes the doors and the COCKPIT PREPARATION
checklist did not start. With this release the LEFT FRONT door then automatically is opened again.
o Go Around Altitude: for some airports there is no GA flight path / altitude available in the NAV DB. In such a case the co‐pilot sets the GA altitude automatically to 5.000
feet.
