I'm looking for an Airbus A-20 for FS9. Any recommendations appreciated.

I use the freeware iFDG A320, Dave, and I'm quite happy with that, although
I have changed the panel and the sound file. Check out what they have to
offer at the iFDG website: http://ifdg.net

I agree. I use the excellent panel by Ken Mitchell which you can find at
AVSIM - file name ab320KM.zip together with AB320KM_fix.zip. Plenty of sound
files for the CFM56 or IAE2500 engines at AVSIM as well. :0))

That's the panel I'm using too, Iain, - great piece of work, - but I didn't
know about the fix file though all does seem to be working OK. Avsim is not
showing anything under that file name, nor is anything coming up on Google ?

Once upon a time in alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim, dear sweet Roger
Anderson (arjayREMOVE@singnet.com.sg) made the light shine upon us with

Thanks for the link. I picked up the A318, the 757 and the 767. So far I
love the 767, although I got myself a new panel for it. Crashed it the
first time out, but the approach was right into the setting sun. Dang!

Roger, thinking about it I probably got it from Ken Mitchell's own site,
which is now closed as he has given this work up. To be honest I can't
remember what the fix was supposed to correct so if yours is working ok
don't worry about it! Sorry for the confusion! :0))

Actually I seem to have been getting a bit confused myself, Iain - went
into my 'repository' of zip files, which is on an external drive, and found
that I did have an update for that panel, which I presume I implemented, -
only it was named 'km320upd.zip', which apparently I downloaded from Avsim
although it also appears to be no longer there.

Unfortunately, I had not discovered Ken's own site until long after I'd
downloaded several of his panels from Avsim and was rather sad to hear how
he felt about the reception to his work, and his decision to close the
site - I have his panels in all my Airbusi (Airbusses?) and they are most
certainly above the standard of quite a lot of payware. Sorry to hear if he
has given up this line although I did get the impression that he may still
be working along with other developers.

Spot on, Roger - that was very sad and disappointing, mate!

Does somebody tried Eric Marciano's panel at http://emarciano.free.fr ?
Which one is the more realistic ?
Tnx

Denis, - I tried several Airbus panels and Eric Marciano's may well have
been one of them, - and I know that he has done a lot of good stuff, some of
which I use on other aircraft.
However, suffice it to say that if you sit and look at one of Ken's Airbus
panels, then it's like you've got one of Dally's gut feels, - this is the
special one! I ditched a payware A380 panel for his A340 panel and felt much
better with it.

Roger.
