The developer Synaptic Simulations has finally, officially released their highly anticipated rendition of the Airbus A220 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. The release has been announced today through iniBuilds social media pages.
The Synaptic Simulations A220 features a custom flight management system, accompanied by a custom fly-by-wire system and faithful recreation of the Proline Fusion avionics found in the aircraft. All of that is accompanied by customisable checklists, SimBrief uplink and graphical flight planning.
This aircraft also includes realistic secondary flight plans, diverts, holds, route directs and other offsets to a set route. There is also a simulation of the Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) and brake temperature simulation.
Full Feature List
- Aircraft-specific autoflight and autothrottle system with accurate LNAV, VNAV and vertical path guidance.
- Full autoland capability with authentic ALIGN, FLARE, RETARD and ROLLOUT mode transitions.
- Complete simulation of the electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, environmental and flight control systems.
- Faithful recreation of the Pro Line Fusion avionics suite with a custom Flight Management System (FMS).
- Systems-driven avionics architecture with displays powered by the correct DMC and EEC components.
- Comprehensive navigation support including ILS, LOC, LDA, VOR, VOR/DME, LPV, RNP and RNP AR approaches.
- Advanced flight planning with secondary flight plans, holds, reroutes, direct-to, relative fixes and path offsets.
- Integrated performance planning including FLEX take-offs, derates, flap speed calculations, noise procedures and fuel predictions.
- Realistic aircraft state simulation featuring electronic checklists, Emergency Descent Mode (EDM), hydraulic failure modelling, brake and tyre temperatures, custom terrain displays and persistent maintenance.
The aircraft is available now through the desired in-simulator marketplace for €59.99. You can also read our first impressions of the A220 in our article created by David, and for a full review, make sure to be tuned to FSNews, as we will be covering that, too.
