Airbus A350-900 released

Yesterday evening, Flight Factor has released their Airbus A350-900 model (it's available in the org store). Could be a candidate for a future fleet update...?

is it only for x-plane?

is it only for x-plane?

Yes , has anyone seen any review yet? I'm asking since Ramzess 777 didn't even have FBW implemented and it costs almost as much as PMDGs 777. So I would really want to know if it's even close to to the real thing.

OK, here's a short summary of what I found out during my flight test campaign (referring to the current version 1.01):

• FBW implementation is available (they use the one created by QPAC)
• Switching between modes (normal law, alternate law, direct law) is not available
• The FMGC functionality is not 100% comprehensive: currently, only standard .fms plans are supported, enhanced by waypoint manipulations (fly-by, fly-over, alt constraints) plus runway selection for departure and arrival, but no SID/STAR or airways, and fuel calculations do not (yet) work properly

FlightFactor is planning to do (or already working on) a Pro model with enhanced capabilities (in particular, they plan to equip it with a comprehensive FMGC). Release will probably be somewhere in 2015; rumors (started by Roman "Ramzzess" himself) say the upgrade will be free for owners of the current version.
