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.
Unfortunately 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!

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!

just bought the PAINTSIM - UHD TEXTURE PACK 3 FOR VIRTUALCOL AIRBUS A220-300 FSX P3D AND it's awesome. Plane looks and flies great! Price should be higher just for the rain effects/wiper animations...love it! :)

love it! it has rain drops and working wipers lol :) In P3Dv4 i'm starting to buy great non study level planes that look and fly great because i love having very high fps in my sims.

This is the plane that I knew virtualcol was capable of. Great textures, okay simulations in the cockpit, cockpit looks correct from all videos i have seen, it has ok flight dynamics, decent sound. A believable representation of the A220 with out any major flaws. Good FPS. Exterior model is very good for screen shots. Not a study level airplane obviously but a really solid effort from Virtualcol. I recommend buying it. Now go back and fix the E-175/195 package to this standard. You guys really tuned out a much better effort on the ATR the second time around.

This is probably the best Vcol aircraft to date. For a casual simmer it's a good buy.
As with all Vcol models there's the good and not so good but the company are going in the right direction with this pack. Niggles - taxi sound is a strange howling that is relistic -ish but as repetitive loop it gets annoying. Airbus state the A220 has a 20% fuel burn advantage over it's rivals - probably the e-jets, but Vcol have produced a model that drinks fuel at an alarming 20% disadvantage. Once the FuelFlow Scalar is tweaked you have a model that flies nicely by hand or autopilot and returns a more realistic fuel economy. Finally I use P3dv3.4 and found it to be a bit of a resource muncher. Overall good value pack if it's on offer maybe less so, in it's present guise, at full price. Good effort Vcol.

Overall it is a fairly nice addon for 25$ BUT do double consider before you buy it. The interior is pretty good like Captainsim level. Outerior is not as good still pretty neat. The sound is a bit weird especially when you are descending which the engines are "gasping?". The default GPS is integrated really well with the FMS/MCDU; however, PFD has some major issue. PFD does not display enough info you need for a safe flight, plus the font makes it worse. It does works with GTN 750 pretty well which can solve some cons. If you are a hardcore simmer I do not recommend this. The casual players will fit it pretty well as it cost less than a Carenado and still do a pretty good job.

As i can t compare it to other A220's because Virtualcool is the first company that made the A220 I think it is a really nice aircraft comparing to other payware aircrafts because:
you are receiving two models-----the A220-100 and A220-300
detailed interior
pretty detailed passenger s cabin
nice flying physics
e.t.c
In my opinion you should buy it or wait for an offer!

Great Graphics and simulation. I would suggest working a bit more on the sound. Other then that, a great payware aircraft.

Virtualcol are improving with every model. A little more modelling and texture detail in the cockpit and attention to detail on exterior textures / bump maps and we will have some outstanding models with easy to use Avionics. As sadly all the high detailed aircraft nower days are at study level.

Okay, I am coming back with a new opinion after a few tests (not finish yet). If you are looking to fly the Cseries I think this addon is perfect to start and encourage Virtualcol to release new updates to improve it. Few good points:
- 3D model is amazing. Flightdeck is probably the most accurate that virtualcol made at this time (with the ATR as well). Looking amazing in P3D v4
- If you are looking for some realism, this addon fit well with Aivlasoft V2 and the flight system is accurate to follow the GPS live update.
- You have a good MCP, not so bad, you will have to try a few patterns to get used of it.
I truly encourage people to buy this addon, test, and feedback it to motivate Virtualcol.

Just another Virtualcol plane. I don't think it's "1 star" model, but it not so bad. Nice exterior model. No, there is no detailed FMS, HUD, animated pilot seats and so on, for what you have to pay about 80$ but it's a pretty neat. Anyway, this moment, this is the best Virtualcol model.
