AIRBUS A220 SERIES PACK FSX/P3D

Following review is based on my usage in Prepar3D v4. This add-on has an amazing interior and exterior model, including the panels and displays. The sounds are great, both inside and outside. Tho I would wish myself that the engine sounds would get a smoother loop to eliminate the popping. And a cabin would be very nice. You can click 90% of the system switches or knobs. I think that the price is justified considering the amount of systems working (and they are a bunch). The aircraft offers overall a really good feeling of flying. Unfortunate-
ly I encountered following system inconsistencies-
: - the GPS is glitched on some pages, e.g. making it impossible to activate an approach from the PROC page. - the Flight Change mode is going crazy, I had to manually select climb or descend rate. - the autothrottle reaction seems a bit slow, It does decelerate and accelerate very slowly, although this could be caused by a slow sim rate on my side. - the bank also seems too sluggish at some point (without spoilers), making it difficult to align for the runway. Do I recommend this aircraft? Yes, I totally do recommend it! Despite having some issues it is still flyable and for me it makes lots of fun flying with it. Also the A220 is so cute! UwU Huge thanks to VirtualCol!

I love this add-on! The texture quality is nice, it flies really nice and for its price it is amazing! Off-topic but the A220 is so cute!

Updated review with very important details, especially for FSX Steam users. Initially I wrote a fairly negative review because the A220-300s failed to load any aircraft visuals at all. I have since learned from VirtualCol that they have an easy fix for this on their website. You have to visit their website then go to menu PRODUCTS and select option UPDATES ZONE and product respective. Download and install the patch and ready. Easy and done problems solved. All is well.

Using with FSX Steam and very dissatisfied! Only the A220-100 can be used. All of the A220-300s completely fail to display any part of the aircraft. Just audio. No VC, no internal or exterior views from any of the multiple available cameras! That said I’ll change my review if the developer answers me and provides a fix so I can use all of what I paid for. Other than that the A220-100s are very nice. Very simple planes for those times where you just want to fly a bit with as little headache as possible. Some aspects are well simulated and you get almost (based on above experience) what you pay for. First time I’ve had such a downer experience with a Virtualcol product. This is my 5th

Unfortunate that this is the only A220 out there for p3d, save your money. I for one don’t care much about outside graphics because your mostly in the cockpit and most button don’t work, it doesn’t feel realistic at all, and if you are doing VR on p3dv5 it is very hard to switch a few buttons.

All in all a quite good and simple "imitation" of the A220 for the price !

I have FSX Steam edition. When you purchase this it asks you if you would like 32bit version or the 64bt. I have tried both and the A220-100 works great for both, but for some reason the A220-300 will not show up when I try to use it. It will say something like "A220-300" cannot be displayed. Even with just the -100 series, still a decent purchase.

This aircraft is amazing, is really the beginning of the new quality of Virtualcol prducts. Virtualcol really made a great and fun aircraft to fly. The dynamics are good, the aircraft and cockpit resolutions are good, FPS friendly and comes with a good amount of liveries and free ones can be found. Just remember to download the update on the Virtualcol page because the A220-300 model will not show up. Even though a year has past since the release of this product, the engine sometimes makes a weird noise when taxing or at low speeds but not as much as before the update. Overall is really good, a great addition for the sims and completely worth the price.

I was surprised! It was my first Virtualcol product buy, and I just miss a FMC. That’s all! This aircraft is challenging and has everything the famous products has. Simplified. I fly complex aircraft, but sometimes I like just a simple thing, just for fun! And this product is just fine if you don’t want to spend a lot of time in programming and preparation. However, my next buy will be a FMC add on ... and this A220 will be something of excellent! Good work Virtualcol!

I love this plane. Simple and easy and for the price well worth the money.
