NAVIGATION DATABASE
With this Airbus comes a complete copy of the NavDataPro navigation database. This database contains the
LIDO data and is the worlds most used navigation database in aircraft. The database is fully updatable;
check its product page on our websites: www.aerosoft-shop.com/products/navdatapro/navdatapro.html
The Airbus is fully compatible with the well-
known Navigraph database. You can use the
configurator to select which database to use.
Although these databases come from a
different source and have some differences
they are basically the same and you should
not see any differences between the two.
DEBUG GAUGE
If you have a problem with the Airbus it helps us a lot to know exactly what the state of all the systems is.
That is why there is a debug gauge ([shift]-[6]. We might ask you to make a screenshot with that gauge
visible to understand exactly what is happening. It ALWAYS helps to see the FMA as well.
SUPPORT FORUMS, RELEASES AND UPDATES
No product is bug free and we don’t claim this one be. What is important is how bugs are handled and we
feel it is important that we explain how we intend to handle that.
Our main communication channel to customers is the forum system. There we can discuss the possible
problems, get more information from customers when needed and provide quick fixes. We will always try
to maintain forums in several languages but only the English one will be fully up to date.
If you prefer support via email use [e-mail], we can handle support there in English,
German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch. Keep in mind however that support on the forums is
always faster.
VERSION NUMBERS
 The release version number will be 1.00.
 A service pack will show in the tens, 1.10 (first service pack) -> new full build
 A hotfix will show in in the hundreds 1.11 (first hotfix to be put on service pack 1)
When there are many hotfixes we will also make full new builds. If you are ever in doubt which version you
have, check the product.cfg that you can find in FSXMainFolder\Aerosoft\Airbus A318_A319.
MAKING VIDEOS
If you make video’s you might see the FBW system show the flight control
surfaces animate where they should not in replay mode (or when using a tool like
FSRecorder. To avoid this you can disable the FWB system for reply using a hidden
option. In the right MCDU, under Options, press the LSKR1 button to activate. The
aircraft will hardly be flyable with this de-activated though!
