There used to be a time when I have an awesome model of the pedestal. Unfortunately, all there left now is only a small thumbnail:

This time there is no speed issue at all. :D
I tested the A318 for a very short 10 minute flight circle`ing around Tallinn while using full tanks. If you have full tanks and one notch of flaps, then the only place you can properly take off with it is Edwards AFB. It flies very well, but it`s very hard to land with full tanks. The cockpit looks really nice, but the CDU doesn`t work and there`s still no sound, but that`s not a real problem so you don`t have to sort that out. Oh, and I can`t see out of the windows properly. They look like they are very foggy.

It's a new feature in Git. [wiki]Control Display Unit[/wiki]

Right- that's because I turned up the alpha channel because of Ampere's suggestion.

As for your A318 takeoff problems, you have to adjust not only the fuel but also the payload. The maximum takeoff weight of the A318 is about 150,000 pounds, so you have to balance your fuel and payload accordingly.

Which is why you also need to make the cockpit windows single-sided.

I did, but I think he's talking about the cabin windows.

That`s correct. I`m a big fan of airliners with interiors.

That error's popping up because you're using 2.0 like me. :) As you know, there's no such thing as a cdu in the 2.0 version of Instruments-3d. That's why that error's popping up.

Well, that's your own fault for not able to see out the windows then.

Im running 1.9.1 and I downloaded the zip file, unzipped it, and placed it on the aircraft folder.
When I start FG I get an error with the autopilot.
Whats GIT? As a user do I have to know something about it? I think it was just for developers
