Planning to build an Airbus A320
In the (hopefully near) future, I intend to start building an Airbus A320. As I'm sure is the case with many builders, I do not have a big pot of cash to make a real start in terms of hardware. What I would like to do is start off by purchasing the essential hardware items required to get flying, slowly adding more parts over time. In this case I should expect this would involve purchasing the FCU, EFIS and the FMC (or MCDU in Airbus speak??). I'm aware that the only hardware MCDU available is produced by FDS and in terms of software compatibility, you're talking PM or AST. I would like to be able to fly using a Virtual cockpit until I am in a position to purchase the DUAL Seat or Single seat training device. In a perfect world, I would use the Virtual Cockpit supplied with the model that the A320 developed by FeelThere uses. I am however aware that this is not a practical solution, given that the PM or AST Aircraft systrems would conflict with the systems developed by Feelthere. Is there an Airbus Virtual Cockpit out there that would enable me to get flying, whilst using PM/AST software with FDS hardware?
If I was building a Boeing, the option of achieving the equivalent would be to use my CPFlight 737NG MCP, buy an Engravity CDU and use with PMDG 737NG. Many thanks for reading, cheers.
