HALYCON MEDIA - AIRBUS FAMILY COMPILATION or any of its volumes?????

I just saw it on simmarket.com and was tempted to pull the trigger, but it's all in german. If the VC is decent and the FMC works I would seriously consider it. Surfing on...

They are the same package as the AFS-designs Airbus collection. Their idea of an FMC is a gauge that reads the FS flight plan and supposedly helps you calculate vnav. I still can't find the liveries they claim to have although there are screenshots of them on their site, which looks quite amateurish btw. I would say the quality of the models is comparable to the better ones you could find on avsim for free. I wouldn't say it was a completely wasted purchase but I could have gotten the same or better from Project Airbus for free with a lot more time spent surfing for liveries and panel merges.

So I finally got a reply to my message to the developer on this package. I'll post my message first:
Mr. Meyer,

I have just purchased your Airbus Industrie collection and I have found some difficulty in locating the different livery files for the aircraft. Is there a single repository or maybe a search parameter that works best when searching on avsim or flightsim.com for the files? Thank you for your attention.

Regards,

Norberto "Bert" Rivera
This is the reply I get after a week:
Helloooo, you buy AIRBUS INDUSTRIE livery. For other livery buy the different products.
Thank you for your review.

Regards
