So as we move into the final phases of our Airbus A320 Cadet Training Program, it's time to look at some of the beautiful sceneries that we used as locations during the later modules. 

After our epic day of line flying from France to Switzerland, Italy, Spain and back to France, we left our Airbus A320 EC-BUS in the hands of euroJet's engineers as it had a broken APU. This forced us to not only start the engine on stand in Palma as we needed some air conditioning urgently (outside air temp 37c!) but also perform a...

Next Tuesday sees the release of our next Airbus A320 Cadet Training Program module. We meet this time at euroJet’s crew room in Berlin, for a lengthy slog down to Tenerife. It's long flight for an A320-sized aircraft and can routinely take over five hours. It’s an even longer day for the operating crew, who usually perform the return flight also, giving rise to the nickname ‘ten hours of grief’ for the Tenerife sector. But jokes aside, our flight to Tenerife is one that follows in the footsteps of an aviation tragedy of almost...

Plenty of you have been asking me which sceneries we used in our Airbus Cadet Training Program - indeed there are tons of them and as our release schedule progresses, they are growing all the time. 

First up from Episode One where we meet James our training pilot - ORBX EGSG Stapleford airfield in Essex, UK. The cow looks particularly happy to be starring. Maybe a bit more left udder? Udder, rudder? Nope. Ok here's the pictures:

Next up we move to the sunny Mediterranean for our base training lessons...

It's time for the release of Module Two of our Airbus A320 Cadet Training Program. As well as heading to the crew room in Nice, France for a full briefing of our day travelling across Europe, we finally get some fare paying passengers!

First up is euroJet flight 44U, our early morning service on the short hop across the Alps to Geneva in Switzerland. In real life, this is an absolutely stunning flight with amazing visuals and as we depart into a golden sunrise, we really capture the sense of...

Lots of you are asking - which is the best Airbus to fly in the sim? Opinions, so the saying goes, are like backsides  - everyone has one. But I'll give it a go!

For Prepard3D v4/v5:

1. Flight Sim Labs Airbus A319/20/21 - this is the one we used for the filming and is by FAR the most comprehensive Airbus simulation in existence. Highly recommended! 
2. Aerosoft A319/20/21 Professional - a less complex simulation, but still a decent Airbus experience for those wanting a simpler aircraft. Note...
