The Aerosoft Airbus products have always been highly focused on simulating the task of the Captain. The aircraft is nothing more than a `tool` for that, but to do a serious simulation of the task, you need a seriously simulated aircraft. When it was launched, the Airbus 320 was a sensation. Based on a completely new concept in automation and integration, and partly made of composite materials, it seemed a futuristic prototype. However, the airlines quickly picked up on the advantages and cost savings, and the pilots started to get used to fly-by-wire and the fact that the aircraft only needed 21 (!) manual actions for a standard flight.
