Torrent Airbus Xtreme Prologue
BlackBox - AIRBUS X'treme 'Prologue' Aims to give you a taste of things to come. The Airbus is a fly-by-wire marvel that is rightfully acknowledged as one of the most successful aircraft in civil aviation history. With a flight deck unlike that of any other airliner, reproducing this aircraft accurately presents a unique challenge to any add on developer.
BlackBox however, have risen to that challenge and taken the Award winning PSS Airbus Professional to a whole new level. And will only get better later with the release of:- AIRBUS X'TREME! We can now offer you the Prologue version 0.85.2 so you can see and feel what to expect from the Full AIRBUS X'TREME V1.00 release. BlackBox Quality and attention to detail will be second to none, with every system modelled to the fullest possible levels. The smallest of items will be given our full attention and you wont find a switch, knob or button that doesn't do something.
PC Aviator - The Flight Simulation Company! Free download a320 extreme prologue torrent Files at Software Informer. AFS-design brings a excellent rendition of Airbus.
In the Prologue Package you will still have a very useable Airbus simulation with Highly detailled MFD Screens and ECAMS. These are all switchable and have independant dimmer controls! Some systems and functionality may be limited initially but The MCDU Will allow you to program a FlightPlan from start to finish, including climbs, Sids, Stars, Speed and Altitude Constraints as well as holding patterns Airways and Alternate Airports. You'll see your performance figures with Vspeeds and Fuel predictions. With our regular service updates The ECAM Screens will eventually show all your system status including Fuel, Electrical, Hydraulic, Pressure systems, Doors and Landing Gear as well as many warnings to help you get things in order.
The external model features The A318, A319, A320 and Now A321 with either CFM or IAE Engines. They have been recreated using advance 3dsMax techniques and each one contains in excess of 150 thousand Polygons, Hi definition 4096x4096 Texture and bump Mapping and a whole host of custom animations that include new Fanblade animation for smooth running New 'no flicker' Wheel animations that rotate smoothly and behave correctly when you stand on the brakes. There is also a niceley detalled cockpit and cabin visible through the reflective 3D modelled Windows. Open the doors and you have more detal in the cargobays and galley areas, all illuminated at night. The Virtual Cockpit is another 160K Polygons and almost every switch, knob, lever and dial is accurateley modelled and animated. Each panel has its own seperate integral lighting and both front and rear overheads are accurateley reproduced. There are dimmer controls for each MFD and you can swap them around via the correct pedestal switching.
The Thrust levers have 'built in' Detents operated by either Joystick, Numpad, F1-F4 Keys or Pageup/Dn you will easily find the one intuitive to you. Custom animations include the fold out tables, Arm rests and sunscreens on top of all the expected switches etc.
The Side sticks operate correctly and lock properly when using the autopilot. All the MCDU and FCU Programming can be done from either the 2D Panels or in the VC either directly or via the many Popup screens a click away. The Airbus Flight model has been reproduced and tested by three independant Current Airbus Pilots and includes our Custom Fly By Wire system and Envelope protection Laws. PILOT COMMENTS DURING TESTING 'Good to see high speed and low speed protections working correctly and A.FLOOR and TOGA LK working perfectly as they should!' 'For what you ve decided to include in the prologue version, I find the bird is faithfull to the real thing. Dont just take a 'mere pilots' word!!
Experience for yourself the unique Airbus fly-by-wire concept and see whats in store later this year when we release AIRBUS X'TREME! ' These aircraft think one step ahead of the pilot - it's a flying experience like no other!'
Just a selection of our customers kind words, Many more on our facebook page @ I think the bird flies beautifully! The FBW is better, the responsiveness realistic, takeoff and landing is a joy! The external model is awesome! Texture and finish are like the real thing. Excellent job on the new bus.
Its a real gem to fly. And the sound effects also.
Overall a solid product v0.6 which can only get better from here on. BBS you are far above the Airbus competitors already I belive your Version 1.0 will be a new milestone for us Airbus lovers. 'I Just want to say I've thoroughly tested this bird and it flies like a dream.
The FBW is amazingly accurate. 'This is definitely the best available Airbus simulation for FSX' 'I am impressed with what the Dev Team at BBS have produced so far, we have all been waiting years for a quality Airbus!' 'BBS I know I think I've told you this before but my god you have built an absolute beauty!'
Airbus Xtreme Prologue
Airbus Xtreme Prologue The “Airbus A320”-series is, next to “Boeing’s 737-series” one of the bestselling airliner families. There are some add-ons for this Family already, so why is there another studio that makes this bird for the Simmers world? The reason is simple to me: because none of the existing products is as good as it could be! I was asked to write an objective review for the version made by “BlackBox Simulation” and I will try it to be clear and fair. I have never flown an Airbus A320 by myself, so I can only give you my thoughts and feelings about the handling and the control over this one. And yes, normally I fly Boeing 737, 757, 767 and 777, but wanted to give this Airbus a try.
Airbus Airbus is the name of the company that develops airliners and helicopters since 1970. Its headquarters is in Blagnac, France. It is the manufacturer for the A300, A310, A320, A330, A340, A350 and the A380, the biggest airliner yet. The jets are built in different countries in separated parts and are built together in Blagnac, France or Finkenwerder, Germany, depending on the type of aircraft. The A320-Series is used for short and mid-range flights all over the world by nearly most of the airlines. British Airways is performing the famous SpeedBird One flight BA0001 London, City, LCY – New York, JFK with an A318 with a stop in Shannon, SNN.
The Purchase, Download and Installation You can buy the BlackBox Xtreme Prologue Add-On via the Store at or at simmarket.de. After purchase you will get the installer and your registration details. The downloaded file is 844mb and after the installation the Airbus needs nearly 3,2GB of space. There comes a manual and a quick start guide. First you should read the quick start guide, because there is the explanation how you adjust your throttles. In the manual you can read the correct way to fuel your aircraft, too. The manual is a tutorial flight where you will learn, how to use the add-on.
The Add-On The Add-On is the full package. That means you will get the A318, A319, A320 and the A321 with one Add-On. The Airbus Extreme Prologue is available in Version 0.85.2 at the moment when I write this review. That means, it is not the final Version and also means it is still under development. Some parts of the Systems, like the weather radar, aren’t working yet but it is a promise that it comes to life with another update. You will get 60 liveries in all. Many other custom-paints are available on avsim-library or other well known places.
As a small gift there is a variant of the A320-100 outer model available, one of the Air France liveries. Blackbox is delivering the NaviGraph Airac 1506 with the installation. So if you have an account at NaviGraph, you can and you should update it to the newest Airac. The inner and outer appearance When I loaded the A318 for the first time, I was surprised by the outer textures. They are in High-Definition 4096×4096 resolution and they are looking really good. Despite its size they aren’t much greedy for VAS or heavy on the frames.
They are really stable. In the cockpit there are movable sun visiors, hideaway folding tables, moving armrests and a movable hot seat in the back. The outer textures are really looking nice and more like metal, the individual rivets can be identified and the surface has a nice shiny touch. As I said, I like the outer model textures. But most of the time you will sit in the right or left seat in the cockpit. There you have to look on this, in my eyes unfortunately plastic looking surfaces. To be honest, I don’t like the look of the cockpit-textures.
They act to blunt and clean, the writings on the displays are a little bit blurry and from the normal views they are badly to read. They remind me of another cheap Airbus add-on I had times before. I am missing some structures of the different parts.
Just have a look on the coffee mug on the left side or the safety rope. Another thing I also don’t like is the appearance of the light-fields on the ground in the outer views. They are simple triangles and are looking boring. Maybe there will be some investigations in volumetric light-cones. The Systems The systems are developed well in this aircraft. The CDU works like you should expect in an airliner.
The engines and systems are running when you start your Simulator with the add-on. You have to cut the engines from fuel and the batteries, if you would like to save a cold and dark panel state.
System wise the modeling is great already. You can start the engines in the real way by following checklists or the tutorial to get it powered up. The aircraft doesn’t come with a load manager for payload and fuel, so you have to use the default one in your Sim. But it is promised that there will be a manager with the next update. The Auto-Pilot works well, the frequencies of the ILS, Navaids are updated automatically and entered accordingly in the FMC. The ECAM is working and you can switch between the pages for APU, Engine, Fuel, etc.
Example for the system-deepness: When you are in-flight and your fuel tanks are nearly empty, the plane will pump the fuel from the outer tanks into the inner tanks automatically. Something that I never have noticed in the AS Airbus. The Navigation displays: In the Blackbox A320 Series you can adjust them independently from each other.
Means: You can set the MAP on one of them and the ILS on the other one. Another example is the switches for the landing lights.
In the Aerosoft A320 Series you can’t switch the lights separate from each other because one switch is for all three lights. Blackbox has one switch for every light Most of the buttons and knobs are working by left or right mouse button or via the mouse-wheel. At some switches it is awful to use them, for example the landing light switches. Why not to use the left mouse button for ON and the right button for OFF?
For now there are multiple click spots and they are hard to hit them. Hint: The knobs are usable as they come, or you can use the altitude, the speed and the heading knobs together with the shift button on your keyboard. That allows you to scroll up or down faster in steps of tens.
This function wasn’t mentioned in the tutorial yet but I like it very much and make dialing in the altitude etc so much easier. In flight The flight model feels different from the other, well known, add-on for this aircraft. Taxing is a little bit tricky with the Blackbox A320 Series. When you have fueled it right, it is reacting like a heavy Plane. It is oversteering when you are too fast and needs a little bit of time to react. You have to practice a little bit, when you haven’t flown with an Airbus before. In the air, the BBS is absolutely clear the better one.
The steering and the acting of the airliner are completely different and feel much better. It is much easier to control the aircraft on final or right after departure. As I have mentioned in the beginning, I have never flown an Airbus in real, but the way BlackBox is simulating the feeling of the aircraft seems to be the better one. Sound I would say the Sound in the cockpit and the sound of the engines are good. Compared to my experience and some YouTube videos. If you push a button or if you dial the altitude with the knobs it sounds real.
