May is a happy month! Spring, sun, good weather, and good progress!

I'm not in a very talkative mood right now, so I suppose I'll compensate with some screenshots ;)

Remember they are "Work in Progress", so some details are off.

First, a few ECAM thingies:
The ECAM text matches Airbus specifications word to word. Lines will appear/disappear as required by the warning's logics.
EWD messages

STATUS page with a few messages.

Second, the FMGS!
We are simulating Thales FMS2 Rev2 standard. Below are a few shots of our lateral path construction. It follows the "What you see is what you fly" philosophy. Like I said earlier, there's three submodes which can be used to guide an aircraft along a flight plan:
- Track submode (ARINC "CX" legs, except CI)
- Heading submode (ARINC "Vx legs)
- Path Submode (The remaining legs)

The below screenshots include (For the most part) PATH-submode legs, meaning that what's drawn is exactly the same as what's flown.

Holding Pattern including entry pattern (Parallel in this example)

An example of a non-overfly transition with a course change of over 135 degrees.

That's it for now!

May IS a month, but June with living/testing this will be THE month!
ECAM actions, FMGS, Abeam waypoints!, See the actual path! WOW

Amazing work NiK, well done.
One step closer to the Dream!

PS On ECAM msgs, type ... after xxS (seconds) there will be the countdown visible heh?

Guys, no questions about the release date, PLEASE! :)

User uploader1010 just got a warning for doing exactly that.

First of all it's against the forum rules, second of all, do you seriously think that the release date will be announced like this? :) When the release date is available, we will announce it publicly.

Can someone explain to me the Abeam Points. I dont get what they are used for and what thy mean.

Looks awsome and very technical but thats what I like :D

I will not speculate until an official feature list has been released. I will not set the screenshot as my new background because Airsimmer haven't given any updates!!!!. I will not go crazy over the released image but seeing as no updates thats highly unlikely!. I will not spam the forum begging for more info on the A320 because Airsimmer cannot learn how to run a company!. I will just accept the fact I have to take my business to Aerosoft which ultimately have a Better A320/321!!
