AirBus Extreme (Black Box)

Is there anyone who can shine some light on the new Black Box Airbus Xtreme? The model does look good and also the VC.
I am aware of the Aerosoft Airbus X extended. The one thing that Black Box has is the A319 is included and the last word from Aerosoft is they were not going to model it. Anyway, any input would be appreciated.

Hi Royal,
I own this airbus. When it has been released a few weeks ago, there was some issues with Win 7 64 but the developper reacted promptly and updated their product within a few days. Now, the aircraft is flying perfectly.
Don't expect deep systems since this is the basic version (the advanced version will come before year end). However, what has been modelled has been modelled at a high level of fidelity (e.g the FBW is probable the best on the market today). The FMCG works well with SID/STAR support.
The BBS team have constantly updated their product since release and the next update (0.54) will include a lot of upgrades including the outside 3D model...

Again don't expect to get a PMDG or FSlabs type of product (at least until the Extreme version comes out), but you still get a very nicely modelled airbus ; for me this is the best airbus on the market today.
