Nachdem JARDesign bereits seit über drei Jahren an einer Umsetzung des Airbus A340-500 für X-Plane arbeitet, ist der Flieger dann heute mehr oder weniger überraschend im X-Plane.org Store veröffentlicht worden. Neben ToLiss sind die 340-Schöpfer die zweite Add-On-Schmiede, die den Vierstrahler in den X-Plane bringen. Allerdings ist ToLiss am etwas längeren A340-600 dran. Das Add-on ist im Org-Store derzeit mit 60 Dollar bepreist.

Da sollte man lieber auf den A340 von Toliss warten.
Dem möchte ich nicht widersprechen =)
warum?
Schon der A320 von denen ist nicht vergleichbar mit dem A319/A321 von Toliss oder den FFA320.
Macht Ihr ein Review zum Flieger ? Die Netzreaktionen sind ja eher so lala
