A fantastic collection of Airbus aircraft for Flight Simulator X or 2004 that forms part of Just Flight's F-Lite range of beautifully modelled airliners aimed at the virtual pilot who wants to get airborne as quickly as possible. High in quality but easy to operate, the Airbus Collection includes the incredible A300-600ST Beluga, the A300-600R and the A310. The software features detailed exterior models, 2D and virtual cockpits and unique effects. There are plenty of liveries and virtual pilots can even use the paint kit to paint their own liveries using a suitable graphics program.
The F-Lite range has been designed to provide aircraft that are not only extremely high in detail and visually impressive but also less demanding to fly than complex procedural simulators. If you just need to go Flying you just need to go F-Lite!
The wide-body Airbus A300-600R, the A310-200/300 and the massively outsize A300-600ST Beluga, with its impressive upward opening cargo nose door, are stalwarts of Airbus Industries aircraft. The A300 and the A310 meet the demanding requirements of many airlines to carry large numbers of passengers over medium to long range routes. The distinctive Beluga is employed within Airbus Industries itself to carry other Airbus aircraft sub-assemblies around the various manufacturing plants in Europe. All are built in Europe by Airbus Industries using a mixture of traditional and modern high-tech materials and employ the latest in technology to ensure safety, performance and efficiency over the routes they fly.

Am Boden lässt sich diese Flotte sehr schlecht lenken, der Sound sorgt für Ohrenkrebs und die Systemtiefe ist nicht wirklich tief!
Vor 6 Jahren war dieses Addon graphisch noch auf der Höhe ihrer Zeit, heute wären bei diesem hohen Preis ein paar kostenlose Updates Ehrensache!
es dürfen auch ein paar mehr Bemalungen sein.
Aber...aber...für etwas schwächere FSX-Rechner ist dieses Spiel ein guter Performer, Airports wie DUS lassen sich problemlos "spielen".
Fazit: Kein faires Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
