#Torrent airbus xtreme prologue romeo manual

You don't even have to read the whole manual to find this out. 'Selected' means the pilot selects the speed and heading using the autopilot controls on the FCU. It's equivalent to LNAV and VNAV in a Boeing. The manual supplied goes into great detail explaining the differences, but essentially 'managed' means the FMGS is in control of lateral and vertical navigation. Well that's not entirely surprising as the two modes are actually 'managed' and 'selected'. There is no contradiction.Д«ill Stack says he doesn't understand the difference between 'managed' and 'speed' modes. In flight, after the thrust reduction to CLB, it becomes a detent for MCT thrust.

Flex and MCT sharing the same detent is not a contradiction, as Bill Stack states. Only Flex/MCT and TOGA are fixed thrust levels.

They do slide between them like normal thrust levers and the lever positions between full reverse and the CLB detent are continuously variable. Older A320 had CRT displays so both are possible, though some versions of A320 have only ever had LCDs.ДЄirbus thrust levers don't just sit in detents. Newer A320s do have LCD displays and BBS say they are going to produce a version with the LCD format in due course. Simulating CRT displays is not an oversight by the developer.

Switching is automatic but can be manually controlled from the relevant switching panel. It does actually mean that, in the event a DU fails, the PFD, ND and ECAM data can be switched to display on another DU. Also even though it use FBW technology the A320 still uses hydraulics to move the control surfaces.Д¬ontrary to what the review says 'switchable displays' does not mean there is a mode control switch which controls the information displayed on an EFIS or ECAM display unit. The A320 was the first airliner with digital fly-by-wire control, with flight envelope protection and no manual reversion. Concorde was full fly-by-wire about two decades previously. In the first paragraph he states that 'the A320 was the first passenger airliner using a fly by wire control system instead of the customary cable and hydraulic controls.' Well actually, no it wasn't. I'll take the issues I noticed in order they are mentioned in the review. As a reviewer his first task is surely to understand the addon he is reviewing? It's understandable Bill Stack might not have known much about Airbus terminology but if he had looked in the manual provided he would have found the answers are all in there. Therefore much of the review is spent with the author wondering how things should work. Unfortunately it's clear from the start that the reviewer doesn't really understand Airbus concepts and terminology. This is an extensive, ten page review of a complex simulation. All screen shots are by me unless otherwise attributed. My use of the term 'A320' applies to the entire family offered by BlackBox (A318, A319, A320, and A321) and to the A320 model in particular when appropriate, consistent with Airbus and BlackBox's practice. Detailed descriptions and data are available from BlackBox Simulation's documents and other sources. My table shows how the A320 compares to a stock FSX aircraft. My descriptions provide a basic overview of these common airliners. The 737s outsold the A320s until about 2002, but not by much, and the A320s have been outselling the 737s since then, but not by much. The entire A320 family competes with the entire B737 family in the world aviation marketplace. The differences are visible in photos and screen shots. Generally, model A318 is comparable to the 730-200, model A319 is comparable to the 737-300, and A321 is comparable to the 737-800. The Airbus A320 family is generally comparable to the Boeing 737 series. Those differences are obvious when visibly comparing models to one another. The A318 is the shortest and lightest, the A321 is the longest and heaviest, and the A319 and A320 respectively fall between the extremes. The main distinctions among the four models are length, weight, and capacity. More than 8,000 of these unique airliners have been ordered by airlines, more than 5,600 of them have been delivered, and almost 5,500 are still in service. The longer A321 entered service in 1994, the shorter A319 in 1996, and the still shorter A318 in 2003. Entering service in 1984, the A320 was the first passenger airliner using a fly by wire control system instead of the customary cable and hydraulic controls.
