Airbus Evolution Series - Volume 2 for FSX and FS2004 from Wilco brings you the Airbus A330-200, A330-300, A340-300, A340-600, A330-300 MRTT. Like the previous volumes, Volume 2 has been developed with the help of professional pilots making this add on the most advanced, accurate and full Airbus simulation for FSX and MS 2004. On top of the functionality developed for the previous volumes, Volume 2 brings you even more advancements! You can choose one of 3 difficulty levels and whatever your level, there is a user manual to guide you step by step through the procedures and systems. Implemented in Vol 2 are the following systems : WEATHER RADAR : Airbus Series Evolution features a highly advanced Weather Radar developed by RealityXP. It is fully integrated into the Navigation Display (ND) and follows the ND range/mode and brightness settings. The route and the moving map are still visible as they are displayed on top of the weather radar display. The Weather Radar can be activated from the 2D cockpit only. HEAD-UP DISPLAY (HUD) : Based on specifications from the real manufacturer, a Head-Up Display has been integrated into the Airbus Series Vol.1 and Vol.2. Your aircraft can land in any visibility conditions, whatever the weather. All the necessary flight informations are displayed on the HUD so that no other instrument is needed. You can look through the window while flying the aircraft on the right trajectory. The HUD is useful to manually fly low-visibility approaches. It even allows the lower the minimal visibility distance. The HUD is designed to be used in full-screen mode and can be displayed in the 2D cockpit too. NAVIGATION : SID/STAR Management One of the most important improvement of Airbus Series Evolution is in the management of the SID/STAR procedures. The information management contained in the database has been improved so that all the waypoints that describe a SID or STAR procedure are no taken into account, whatever their type. This is especially visible for waypoints that describe a turn to a waypoint or a radial interception because a nice curved route is then drawn on the navigation display (ND). In order to take advantage of these improvements, getting a recent version (AIRAC) of the navigation database is strongly recommended. You can get a more recent database at Navigraph. DIR Operation The DIR operation used to proceed direct to a route waypoint is improved. A temporary flight plan is created (like for any flight plan modification) and requires a validation. In addition, the trajectory is drawn as the aircraft flies, with a curved route when appropriate Holding Patterns The aircraft flies the holding pattern trajectory almost perfectly. Flight tests have also been conducted with crosswind. Target Altitude The target climb or descent altitude is shown on the route with a blue arrow and its position is updated in real time. These arrows are sometimes called hockey sticks. TOC Real-Time Update The position of the top-of-climb (TOC) point is computed in real time. It is very important if the ATC asks for a level during the climb. If it happens, the TOC point is moved accordingly instead of being wrongly positioned. Second ADF A second fully functional ADF receiver has been added. On the navigation display, 2 different green needles can show the 2 ADF signals. SID/STAR filtering When a departure or arrival runway is selected, only the SID/STAR procedures that apply for the selected runway are displayed. Hiding the useless procedures reduces the list of the displayed SID/STAR, making the selection easier. Flight Plan Edition When a new waypoint is inserted on the F-PLN page (immediate waypoint insertion) at the place of a discontinuity, the discontinuity is shifted down and no discontinuity is added. Flight Plan Display As the aircraft flies toward the next waypoint, the displayed distance to the next waypoint is updated in real time. Approach Speed The managed speed on approach depends on the flap handle position instead of depending on the flaps position, like in the real aircraft. This makes the approach the approach smoother with less variation of engine power. Updated Flight Management System Database Thanks to a partnership with Navigraph, the latest navigation database (December 2010) is provided with Airbus
