The Airbus A320 is one of the most popular airliners in the world, and is therefore also a plane many simmers want their hands on. This addon for X-Plane 11 ensures that everyone can have an affordable airliner like this in their hangar by costing only a fraction of what others on the market do today.
Incuded in the RHDSimulations A320 you get:
-VR compatibility
-Integrated Avitab
-Wingflex animations
-4k PBR textures
-Realistic systems of airconditioning, elecs, fuel and hydraulics by the X-Bureau team
-Both default and custom MCDU (Custom one is not finished and most functions are not included, will be updated and replace default one when done)
-Custom FMOD sounds -Custom 3D ground vehicles that can be enabled/disabled
-Beatiful and dynamic lighting
-Support of both sharklets and wing fences (no flight dynamics differences)
-Ability to choose between CFM and IAE engines (both use CMF sounds and characteristics at the time)
-Both fully 3d cockpit and cabin (and toilet)
-Functional ECAM, PFD, NAV screens
-Misc animations in the cockpit of objects such as armrest, sun visor, tray table
-Optimization of textures and objects for best possible performence
-26 liveries
Note that the plane may lack some features, and is not meant for high fidelity simming
This aircraft has real potential. I was impressed by the textures, both inside and out. It should be obvious to everyone that an aircraft costing just under 8 euros can't be perfect. It flies really well, and most systems work.
Both the autopilot and the FMS function correctly. Anyone experiencing problems should perhaps consult the manual.
It also works on a Mac and on Linux. Anyone having issues with these, should check out the RHDSIMULATIONS Discord server.
The developer has already demonstrated his talent with the X-Bureau A318. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be finishing his projects.
However, I have no problem adding missing features myself.
Since the developer has apparently abandoned the project, no further updates should be expected.
I'm giving it 5 stars because the aircraft is fantastic for the price.
R.E my previous review (this plane handles like a fighter) might just be me refusing to turn on the full damage model because I am definitely a certified pilot
Very realistic cockpit and outer model with plenty of liveries. Sometimes the plane can handle a bit like a fighter but this has potential and if it ever gets updated I will revise my review. RHDSIM, this plane has potential
This aircraft is very good for it's price but there are a few downsides. 1.) Nosewheel steering physics are very weird 2.) You can't do a 3nm approach (Unless you manually set the speed of course)
3.) Idk if it's only me but the flight control tab on the Ecam doesn't work.
I would still certainly recommend this aircraft for people who are on a budget.
