I purchased this Wilco Airbus 400M package for the pultry sum of Euro 8.15. a couple of weeks ago...Link FYI
http://www.wilcopub.com/wilco-fleet-a400m-5427.html. I have heard that this aircraft might be considered as a RNZAF C130 replacement....you may have seen the Airbus advert in local papers recently....The A400M was designed according to the joint prerequisites from the seven countries participating in the project (Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and Turkey)... to date 174 airframes have been sold.
This FS Model flys like a gem and I would recommend it to flight simmers....handles smoothly and feedback control in the three Axis is about as real as you could get.
A couple of points if you decide to purchase....very noticeable in my first flight that T/O acceleration was very slow and the climb was pathetic.....checked the weight and balance figure and discovered that the A/C was 15000 lbs overweight!!??....first time I can remember of an A/C default weight and balance being outside limits. Re cockpit view selection...you will need to select Cockpit View first and then reset to Virtual Cockpit to ensure full operation of the Virtual Cockpit.
And thanks are due to Doug and Ian and others for the creation of this superb FSX Waiouru photoreal overlay.
Cheers,
