WELCOME TO THE AEROSOFT A330 PROJECT



The A330 is by far our largest project to date. Rather than looking at the
development of the A330 as a single product, we have decided to take a platform
approach, which means that we are committed to supporting, developing and
extending the A330 for years to come. This page will keep you updated on the
progress and planned enhancements of the A330. So check back regularly to make
sure you don't miss anything!

DEV-UPDATES




FMS TESTING


01.12.2023

… and another milestone ticked off: Engine performance tuning and tweaking is
now done!

Our testers can finally get back on track. We are aware that it is sometimes
very frustrating for testers when things don't work properly and you can't
complete the flight successfully as a result. However, this phase seems to have
finally been overcome. Fortunately, we have many testers who fly to different
airports all over the world with all sorts of arrivals and approaches. This
shows how good our custom flight management system really is and where things
still need improving. The most common error is the handling of the different
waypoint types. We will now gradually eliminate these, which can be quite a
time-consuming task. Fortunately, it's not a question of whether, but only how
quickly we can get it done.

We are also continuing to work diligently on the vertical autopilot modes and on
the documentation, which will come in both text and video form. It's quite an
extensive undertaking, but we're already pretty far along and are continuously
adapting the documentation to our development progress.
The end-of-the-year sprint is underway and we will try to make as much progress
as possible before the Christmas break – and we're already looking forward to
next year!

TRACKING OF THE AUTOPILOT


03.11.2023

We have worked our way through several valleys in the code and got rid of many
loose ends from the P3D. As is so often the case, most of the problems are
relatively easy to solve, but there are those 2-3 things that are supposed to be
small problems, but in reality turn out to be bigger and more extensive. This is
particularly true for the Airbus, where the systems are very closely
interlinked.

An important milestone was setting the performance of the engines correctly,
because only then can our sound engineer continue working.

Another point was the lateral tracking of the autopilot. Do you remember the
screenshot with the egg dance flight path? Fortunately, that's history.

Now there is another important building block that we have to cover. The
aircraft systems calculate the planned flight route, speed, altitude, vertical
climb/descent, etc. based on various factors. We've come this far. Now we have
to teach the autopilot to work with this data. But the best planning is useless
if reality gets in the way. So this data must also be constantly recalculated in
real time. We are currently working on this.

As you can see from the previous screenshots, we have almost finished the 3D
model. So this milestone has already been mastered. Now we "just" need the
systems to do what we want them to do. We will give you more information on this
soon.

CHECKLISTS


12.10.2023

The use of checklists is not only important in real aviation, but also in flight
simulation. Especially for new users of MSFS, checklists can be extremely
helpful. They serve as a learning aid by explaining the necessary steps and
procedures step by step. The integration of checklists into our A330 addon is
very important to us. This allows users to practice the same procedures and
processes that are used in real aviation. Especially beginners tend to forget
important steps or settings, which can lead to unwanted problems.

In addition to our future online documentation, we offer a direct and
interactive way to familiarize yourself with the aircraft with the standard MSFS
Checklist menu. Due to the complexity of some procedures, we cannot guarantee
the auto-complete feature everywhere. However, each checklist item is provided
with a clickspot that allows users to quickly and easily navigate to the
appropriate area in the cockpit.

This means that Xbox users and newcomers in particular need not be put off by
the complexity of the A330. Instead, they will quickly be able to get used to
the handling of this large aircraft.

FAQ




WHAT WILL BE THE FINAL FEATURE SET?

At the moment, we are still in the process of finalizing the feature set. We
will provide continuous updates on the feature set on this page.


WHEN WILL THE FIRST A330 PRODUCT BE RELEASED?

At the moment we can't announce a date for a release yet.


WHAT WILL IT COST?

Since pricing depends on the planned feature set, which has not yet been
finalized, we are unable to provide more precise pricing information at this
time.


IS LNAV/VNAV IMPLEMENTED?

Yes. Our flight management system, which was built from the ground up, takes
into account lateral and vertical guidance, including the associated autopilot
modes.


WILL THE A330 BE SUPPORTED IN MSFS 2024?

Yes, without any additional cost.


CAN I USE THE AIRCRAFT ON VATSIM/IVAO/PILOTEDGE ETC.?

You definitely can. However, you should familiarize yourself with the handling
of the aircraft beforehand. Under certain circumstances you will have to fly
maneuvers that are usually facilitated by additional systems, which will not be
available from day 1.


IS THERE A SIMBRIEF INTEGRATION?

Yes, you can easily import your Simbrief flight plan via the EFB and even load
the aircraft automatically with the correct values.


IS THE AIRCRAFT GSX COMPATIBLE?

Yes, the aircraft is fully GSX compatible.


ARE THE MCDUS INDEPENDENT?

Yes, the MCDU's are independent of each other.


WHEN WILL WE KNOW MORE NEWS?

New dev status quo and dev snapshots will be posted regularly. Check this site
