Okay, hopefully my "Boeing" buddies won't be too upset with me since I have recently jumped the fence and switched to the "dark side." Yes, I decided to try an Airbus series of aircraft and specifically, the A318/A319. I have only made two flights and thus far, the learning curve has been different and the systems are definitely more "automated." The throttle operation with specific detents for take-off, climb thrust, etc is different as is the implementation of the autopilot. I'm looking forward to more "short hauls" and they have implemented the use of an active co-pilot while flying and detailed checklists. So far, very good and the performance (computer wise) is top notch with high FPS with add-on scenery and low VAS (virtual address space) usage. Anyway, here are a few shots from flight BAW165 with a full CAT 3 autoland at 36C.
Oh noooooooo!

LOL....as one of your Boeing buddies, I'll have to say that we took a vote, and we're going to give you a pass THIS ONE TIME! Only if you agree to provide copious amounts of beer at the upcoming LAN....
