Another joke from Wilco…
While this model resembles the real A380 a lot better than the first version it is still not at all accurate as advertised and simply plain ugly… lacking any attention to detail.
Now I could live with that… but it gets a lot better… On their sales page they write:
“Interactive 3D Virtual Cockpit – Exactly as the real aircraft !”
Just looking at the screenshots for one minute I can find dozens of things that are not at all like the real A380…
I wouldn’t mind this product at all if:
– they would stop advertising things they clearly do not provide
– they would not price it at a level you get a fully simulated airliner from other manufacturers
– they would write a product page which sounds as if this product is the best and most realistic thing you could have for PC based flight simulation
Please avoid this, the flight deck and its system does not have anything to do with the real A380… its just cheap money making by Wilco…
