in FS2002, this was not normally possible.
Moreover, it included proprietary technology
that would allow one to actually get up and
wander around the passenger cabin.
However, when A320 PIC was actually
released, it received a surprisingly tepid
reception. Although there were a considerable
number of bugs, this was not the biggest
complaint. After all, it is hardly uncommon
for such a complex product to have its share
of teething problems upon release. Judging
both from reviews of the time and from user
commentaries in Internet forums, there was a
bigger problem - performance. Out of the box,
users consistently reported extremely poor
frame rates, even on high-end machines. It is
true that with extensive tweaking performance
could be somewhat improved, but even so, the
plane would only fly acceptably with MSFS
graphics, AI, and weather settings tuned
way down. Over time a number of patches
and improvements were released, including
one that made it fully functional in FS2004.
Nevertheless, A320 PIC remained a very
power hungry product and gradually faded
into the background.
Haven’t I Seen this Before?
Now, more than a year later, I suspect I
am not the only flight simmer out there to
be surprised and even confused to see A320
Pilot In Command suddenly reappear in
new packaging from a different publisher,
Aerosoft GmbH of Germany.

Having now thoroughly explored
this package, I shall reveal to you the
basic facts. The package, which retails
for US$39.95, is indeed a re-release of
the same product originally produced by
Wilco. The Aerosoft release is listed as
version 3.0, and contains all of the patches
and updates, as well as a generous supply
of liveries. Beyond that, however, no
new features or improvements have been
introduced specifically for this release.
Thus, if you already own the original
version and have kept up with the patches
and updates, there is no reason to purchase
this one, except for the simple convenience
of having the fully patched product on a
single CD.
Installation and
Configuration
The software is contained on a single
CD in a DVD style case with a printed
installation guide. Although the printed
guide looks thick, this is primarily
because it is printed in several languages.
The real user’s manual is installed from
the CD in PDF format. Installation is
easy. Since this package is fully updated,
there is obviously no need to worry
about the proper order of installing
patches. The installer will simply
ask you into which version of MSFS
(FS2002 or FS2004) you are installing
the product and everything else is taken
care of for you.
Once installation is complete, take
a good look at the PDF manuals. In
addition to a detailed guide to the
aircraft there are also some important
instructions for configuring your
installation of MSFS. This product
has some unusual characteristics and
without configuring MSFS it will
not work properly. In particular, the
virtual cockpit gauge detail MUST
be set to low, no matter what type of
machine you have (don’t worry: the
A320 flight deck will still look fine).
Secondly, you must manually set up
your controller through the A320PIC
options menu from within MSFS.
This is an independent process and
will not interfere with your normal
controller settings. Furthermore, you
must disable your joystick within
MSFS in order for the fly by wire
system to work properly (A320 PIC
reads control inputs independently of
MSFS. There are also a number of other
options available here including a choice
of whether or not to implement the A320
“normal landing law” (flare mode), which
we will get to later.

REVIEW
Computer 32 Pilot Magazine V8I9
Flying the New, Old A320 PIC
As already mentioned, A320 PIC
eliminated the 2D-cockpit altogether,
so when you first load the aircraft you
will be greeted with a sign in large bold
letters stating, “2D-panel not available.”
This is normal. Simply press the “S” key
to cycle the view to the 3D virtual flight
deck. Most controls are clickable, and if
you need to see a smaller item up-close
