The approved procedures include replacing the glass panels with new PPG window panels and reusing and refurbishing frame retainers from PPG or other suppliers. The approval authorizes PPG to repair glass window assemblies produced by any manufacturer for Airbus A318, A319, A320 and A321 airplanes and the recently launched NEO (new engine option) Family.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., J– PPG (NYSE:PPG) has received Federal Aviation Administration approval to repair sliding and aft fixed cockpit windows for Airbus A320 Family jetliners, affording cost savings to airlines and other aircraft operators.

The only fix, granted that you have an average or low IPD, is too crank the headset IPD to maximum so the scene feels smaller.Finishing procedures PPG (PPG:NYSE) developed for the repair of aft fixed cockpit windows for Airbus A320 Family aircraft are reviewed by Aaron Anderson, left, PPG transparencies segment manager for commercial aftermarket, and Kyle Stange, PPG chief inspector, at PPG’s aerospace plant in Huntsville, Alabama. Like he mentions, in VR these modeling quirks are especially noticeable, also in VR the size of the cockpit is COMPLETELY huge compared to the real cockpit. I don’t want to fly with an airplane that has a cockpit with an error of proportion. However, using VR, where we have the depth reading (stereoscopic) the autopilot panel ends up being very far from the real one. If we do a normal flight, without using VR mode, it doesn’t make much difference. The dimensions of the autopilot panel are out of proportion. I would like to point out a problem that I realized, after flying with VR, the A320 Neo. venting about it here won’t you anywhere.Ī320 Neo proportion error in the 3d cockpit model Airliners So since you’re the one aware about this, make them aware about the issue as well. You can’t be frustrated why they’re not noticing this or fixing this if they’re not even aware. At least you can get some advice and feedbacks directly by everyone involved there. The only thing you can do is to “remind” them that this is incorrect and needs fixing.Īt least, raise this in the Discord page if you don’t want to do all the hassle of raising as an issue. Like I said, it may stick out like a sore thumb to you, but all the other real life pilots and engineers involved there might either be not noticing it, or they’re okay with it for now. Include these photos and gain some visibility there. I just looked up the Issues list in the A32NX github page using the keyword “glareshield” for you and I’m not seeing anything that’s similar to the one you posted here. Just because it sticks out like a sore thumb to you, doesn’t mean another person would feel exactly the same way. We all have different personalities, different ways of seeing issues and different ways of expressing discomfort. This should stick out like a sore thumb to anyone who has sat in an Airbus cockpitīut each people are different. glareshield angle feels like something of a “nice to have”. There are much more important features to add and issues to fix like the Autopilot, flybywire systems, proper symbols on the displays, etc etc. But if it were me, this is something that is at the bottom of priority. That being said, if this bothers you so much, raise this with the FBW/A32NX team, get some traction on this with them and if they agree that this is also a big of a deal, then they would work on it. And it’s a sim, it’s still technically fake anyway. Guess that’s an advantage for me, I don’t even know what it suppose to look like, so I just take what’s been given. So I literally don’t remember anything about the Airbus cockpit. I only started to fly the Airbus here in MSFS. Well, MSFS is my first sim since I flew FSX 15 years ago. If you’re used to flying any other airbus sim, this is glaringly obvious the entire time you’re in the cockpit and makes it feel “fake.”
