I am a real world Airbus pilot with thousands of hours flying the real aircraft and thought it would be fun to have a look at the detailed simulations of the 'bus in MSFS and X Plane. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

Hi dear Sim pilot, how nice you took this Airbus bird for a ride! Was involved with this aircraft from the very beginning before it operated at my airline. This aircraft was a revolution in cockpit management and automation in the cockpit. This was the first step towards what is the A320 series and so on. In those days, early 80's there was a big discussion if this kind of aircraft could be flown by a two man crew. Specially supported by the Boeing lobby! :) This aircraft is a perfect example if the intermediate step between the conventional old school aircraft and where we are now with the airbus aircraft we are we right now. This aircraft deserves a well deserved place in history, it was the step to modern aircraft management of today!

Thanks for your kinds words George and also for your insight into this aircraft! I totally agree, it is a big piece of the history of modern airliners in many ways.

By 1980's standards that is an EXTREMELY clean and intuitive flight deck to be honest , yes there are more buttons than the A320 but really the layout is similar and it has that Airbus design philosophy where all of the layout makes sense !

I have the Inibuilds A310 for X-Plane 11 and it is one of the best planes I have flown. Hope the MSFS version is also good, looking forward to it! Compared to the A320, switches are on different locations and autopilot modes are a little different, also the FMC. But anyone who has the Fenix 320 will be able to make a rapid transition.

Surprisingly modern flight deck. Compared to other aircraft flying around in that period it is quite clean. Nice to see the "extinguish the white" UX design existed back then. In engineering, only a few things are so refined and have a clear design path as the Airbus 3xx series.

What a geat idea to give us an overview before it becomes available in a couple of days time! I'm really looking forward to the A310, as mentioned below, it's a really great mix of old and new technology, many hours of fun ahead with this baby! I only ever flew on two A310's, Frankfurt via Hannover to Toronto and back with Hapag-Lloyd, but saw so many over the years at Frankfurt in particular, so looking forward to the talented livery makers coming out with some great oldies!

Thanks for the video. You can definitely see the ancestry of this aircraft in the A320 - plus a couple of things that are more like the 737...speaks to the age of the design of that aircraft!

The A320 is not the descendant of the A310. A310 is the ancestor of the A330/A340 and... A320 first Airbus single-aisle aircraft. In fact I am quite surprised by the similarities with modern Airbus. Airbus is/was really very advanced/innovative for its time.

Thank you so much for the video, it’s fantastic! I do have a question. At 6:09, you turn on the batteries, and you said that the green lines indicate that they are “being charged up.” At this point, it doesn’t appear that the external power is on or the APU is on, so how are they being charged? My uneducated guess would be that the batteries would have a negative amperage, and that they would be powering equipment at the expense of their own charge, until they can receive a charge from the APU, external power, or an engine generator.
