    Well, you're comparing a released product to a non-released product, dont see your argument here

    Yeah, but that was the case even back in the days when it was WIP; we never expected such a high-fidelity product for the cost they gave us! Hopefully Aerosoft can make something like that happen with the A330, but I guess we won't know for a while

    I can assure that the developers have got pretty good already going through the deciphering algorithm, reducing the decoding time to just few milliseconds by now. It seems to be a bit like doctors hand writing. Only select few can develop the skills to read and understand it. 😜

     

    All this cryptography is less complex than VNAV? Very impressive :D

    ...a developer is crying because no customer will ever see it. 

    Congratulations on entering beta! One question though, does this mean that the consumer grade product will skip on some simulation aspects or is this because the average customer just won't notice the depth?

    Secondary Flight Plan can be used but not limited to as follows:

     

    During departure preparation:

     

    Prepare in the following order of priority:


    ‐ Where available, insert EOPRO

    ‐ If weather is below the landing minima at the departure airfield, insert the route for an immediate diversion airport.

    ‐ If there is a chance of a change in runway, SID during taxi or takeoff from an intersection, prepare for it by copying the active fli

    ght plan and making the necessary modifications (including performance).

    ‐ If none of the above is applicable, copy the active F-PLN, but modify it at a suitable waypoint for an immediate return.

     

    During descent preparation:

     

    The SEC F-PLN should be set bearing in mind the following order of priority:

    ‐ An alternate runway / approach type (as applicable), including PERF APP and GA pages.
    ‐ Engine Out Company procedure.

    ‐ If none of the above is practical, copy the active flight plan.

     

     

    Yes, however if Aerosoft say they aren't going to do the non normal procedures what would the point of the EOSID be? On the flip side, you could argue that because this programming is done every flight it should be included, as then the product is a more accurate representation of a pilot's job

  5. Will the A330 have secondary flight-plan functions in the MCDU? Though I hear it is generally used in case of an abnormal situation (which I know is out of the scope of this rendition), I have also seen that it is occasionally used in some standard procedures such as circling approaches. Not an actual pilot so what I've said might not even be the case, just watched a couple instructional videos is all

  6. Mhh, I still have hope it can be within a few months; we don't know how far along they are with those things, and who knows - those could be the last things to check off! Also, they started adding some superfluous stuff like the wiper arcs on the windscreen, which suggests to me that maybe, just maybe, they are near the end :)

    Yes but you still couldn’t open the door and see the forward cabin area.

    Fact is during boarding and deboarding the cockpit door is open. Flight attendants come in and communicate with the pilots while they prepare the aircraft for departure or clean up the aircraft.

     

    But the Fenix, which is very defensibly on a similar level as the PMDG (if you care about the term "study-level"), already has the cabin and operable cockpit door with audio :)

    First of all, yes these types of videos are really good and informative however, they are not really needed for the A330...

    If you watch some Fenix tutorial, I‘m pretty sure that you will be able to handle the A330 perfectly.

    Flying the A330 is a little bit more sluggishly but that’s it.

     

    I had no idea the mixed fleet training was actually done in such a short time frame; very interesting! I must ask though, what is that centre MCDU actually used for? I've heard different things from different people
