Why do we have a A340-600 in our Fleet?
EHM-1592 Niels:
Hi all,
I don't think you can link the PSS panel to the A340-600, because the MDCU is made for the A340-300, so the fuel usage, weights and speeds are incorrect. Flying without the MDCU is not really realistic for an Airbus, no fun to me.

EHM-1001 Robert:
Well,
I do not have the A340, so I cannot give you a solution, it was only an idea. I am sorry to hear that it is not work.
And about the long haul flights, I can tell you that before ProPilot, the 747 was one of the most favourite airplanes. There was not a single pilot who have not tried it when reached ATP level, although there were many smaller planes that were unused by many.
I am not a big Airbus fan, but you can see, we tried to keep balance when selected the planes, and you can see that from class 5...7 it is all about technological "war" between Airbus and Boeing. Unfortunately the A340-300 is not a competitor for the B747-400 according to the EHM class system.
EHM-1703 Philip:
Oh no! Somebody is gonna mention the A380 before long!!! ;)
I agree Robert, until the A340-600 ther really wasn't any competition for the jumbo, and really the A340 still comes up short as far as capacity goes. (Although its cost per person / per mile is lower) I must admit, I've watched a lot of cockpit videos from the A340 and she really does everything for the pilot! ( check out www.A340.net to see a Kai Tak approach made easy ) Shame PSS haven't modeled the 600, although there is a lot of lobying in their support forums for them to update all the Airbuses. I guess we will have to stick with what we have got for now and see what FSX brings! (I hear it has an Airbus model in the default fleet!)
EHM-1744 Danny:
Than there is still the problem with the A330.
There are members of EHM that have problems with the A330.gau file. (me included!) There are many 'solutions' on the forum, but none is working properly...
Maybe it's an idea to solve this problem first before using this aircraft in the fleet...?
EHM-1670 Bill:
Easiest way is to change the panel for one that you find is OK. There are several very nice ones at both avsim and flightsim as well as many other sites.
