Flight Sim Labs Shows More of its Airbus A321 for Microsoft Flight Simulator
Today Flight Sim Labs provided two more videos showcasing the Airbus A321 coming for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The first shows more icing and a Windows Heat failure. We get to see how icing forms on the ice-detecting rod and then on the windscreen due to a failure on that side.
The second video shows the Minimum Equipment List (MEL) and Techlog features available on the EFB, on top of the possibility of getting the GPS jammed in certain locations of the world based on real life data.
Interestingly, we also get to see that the circuit breakers are interactable.
It’s worth mentioning that you’ll have to click on the links to check out the videos. For some reason Flight Sim Labs disabled the ability to embed them.
