Interesting video, I guess it was made using FS2004, the video says the sim was done by Justflight, and the only A320 they do is for FS9.

I think that this video was made in FSX, because you can see the reflection of the aircraft off the water. I don't think FS9 can do that... :-/

Can you get engine fires in FS9?

I don't think engine fires are modeled in FS9 either, perhaps the A-320 in the video is a project Justflight is working on...

That was FS9 ....... there was no reflection of the aircraft ... just it's shadow. You can get engine fires in FS9 as long as they are modelled into the aircraft ...... just look at the Real air Spit.

It's FSX. Watch the video as the plane touches down. You'll see the reflection of the plane's tail.

Crash

...however the water landing was done, the more I think about it, I still reckon there was an awful lot of luck involved, as well...;)...!

If I was one of those passengers, I would be very dubious about flying again... :o...!

We Flight Simmers kid ourselves that we would be equally as successful in achieving such a safe landing.....but in real life, I doubt it very much!...;)...!
