CLS Airbus Airbus A300B4-608ST Super Transporter (Beluga) PAYWARE

Started in 2005, Commercial Level Simulations (CLS) has grown to a high quality commercial add-on developer for MS Flight Simulator. Their products are not that expensive and yet high quality. This Airbus A300 package contains the A300B4-608ST Super Transporter, also known as the "Beluga". The package contains 4 different liveries: The Airbus No.1 2006 (new house colors), the Airbus No.2 2004 (old house colors, "Skylink"), the Airbus No.3 (old house colors "The Super Transporter" titles) and the UPS livery. The exterior is highly detailed and features dynamic shine, dynamic wingflex, opening doors and pushback truck. The big cargo door above the cockpit can be opened, with A320 fuselage visible in it. The interior is a less detailed virtual cockpit and wingview. The virtual cockpit looks nice, but not all systems are modelled, so not all buttons and switches are clickable. The flightdynamics are well balanced, so for the averange flightsimmer it shouldn't be a problem to manually land this aircraft. Just make sure there isn't too much crosswind, because due to a contact points problem, the aircraft is still drifting sideways after touchdown. This problem has been reported from a few people only, which may indicate that not everybody has encountered the sideway drift or not many people takeoff/land in crosswind conditions.
