Just Flight Publishes A300B4 Professional Development Update for MSFS 2020
Just Flight has recently published a development update on their progress with their upcoming Airbus A300B4 Professional for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, showcasing the airplane’s upper flight engineer’s station and its many switches and lights.
They claim every single object has been recreated from high-resolution imagery of a real A300B4 based at the Aeroscopia museum in Toulouse, France; meaning all fonts and scales of the gauge backgrounds and annunciator lights are “as accurate as you can get in any simulator.”
The showcase begins with the left-hand column, showing where pilots manage passenger and crew oxygen, hydraulics, and fuel.

Then, they skip over to the systems related to the landing gear, brakes, and fire detection, with the APU control panel lying at the very bottom and its three vertically stacked gauges for parameter monitoring, a bank of fault annunciators, switches for fuel pumps and starting, and it’s dedicated fire shut-off handle.


The upper right section houses the magnetic annunciators, which display a trefoil pattern when a piece of equipment or its circuitry shows some fault. Underneath lies the air conditioning and pressurization system, arranged from the bottom up and following on from the air bleed section. Its sheer size is explained by the dual pressurization systems for redundancy and the separate temperature controls and displays for the six passenger and cargo compartments.

The last column features the panels for the flight data recorder, probe heat, and a large metal guard covering the fuel jettison switches, efficiently protecting it from accidental operation.

Just Flight also mentioned on their Facebook page that the A300B4 is a MSFS 2020 product for now, and MSFS 2024 compatibility hasn’t been looked at yet.
