I cannot wait any longer. I simply cannot comprehend how you cannot figure out the VNAV. You've done it countless times before in P3D. Don't give me "The SDK is complicated" excuse. Even sluggish PMDG figured out VNAV in a timely manner.

 

Development time seems to be slower and slower. Flightsim relies on the imminent release of aircraft and/or updates to attract avgeeks. If you make them wait months and months for an aircraft or update, they will lose interest. This includes the likes of FENIX and PMDG. 

 

Everyone needs to be faster. 

Demand is increasing, yet the development time and resources of these companies remain underwhelming.

ZASCA!! The best answer

It has an modded cabin?

 

No, we rather use the polygons on the areas where the flight crew works. It will also make the aircraft function way better on systems with low memory (like Xbox)

Hi Mathijs, the plane looks insane! Can’t wait to flight it. Will all these functionalities in the tablet in the cockpit work in the xbox version? Sorry if this was asked before. 

 

We can't test that yet, but we see no reason why it should not.

Hello, will there be a tray table that works in the A330? 

 

Sure!

Who cares. They release when they release. Some developer takes more time. The questions for the release dates are making it more and more toxic. Lean back, relax and enjoy the beautiful summer weather. The A330 will come. But the release- date will not be earlier the more you and the others ask. 

 

Again, I find it very hard to understand why people vote a post like this down. What could possibly be wrong with this?  This is toxic behaviour, and it stops right now. If you have an issue with something this innocent, you take the time to explain why or do nothing. 

 

I discussed this before and have given warnings. These warnings will now be accompanied by a temporary ban.

As customers, you have the right to buy a product or not. You don't have the right to demand answers to a question that has already been asked many, many times, and the developer already said is not going to be answered many, many times.

 

False entitlement won't get you very far in life. 

 

I will tell you honestly that I am also flabbergasted by some people's reactions regarding this. However, it is not worthwhile to spend time on this. So let's all stop explaining how incorrect this is. If people feel that we are doing things wrong, they can simply not buy the product (and then why post here?), if they think it is easy, I would love to invite them to start working in this field because the people doing it now are finding it pretty complex and time-consuming.

 

 

Lastly, if you find it hard to learn about a product and see images of it without being able actually to buy it, simply ignore this forum section. I am sure you will learn about the release via other means.

It's not an objection, it's just a curiosity, so don't be offended and read it.
Why implement where the crew works while giving up the cabin for good performance? From the pilot's point of view, is there anything I have to do where the crew works?
Or is there a function for a crew to provides an in-flight meal?

The sentence can be awkward because I didn't live in an English-speaking country and used a translator

Mehh, last year I couldn't wait for the Fenix and the 737, this year I cant wait for the a330, the 777 and probably the a300. We will have all of them soon and we will be looking forward to the next project and the cycle never ends, this is why I love the fs community. there's always something new to look forward to. Looking forward to new projects is half the fun. much love to everyone

A couple of questions:

 

Will lateral offsets (i.e. for SLOP) be possible? I searched and saw this asked a couple of times, but did not see an answer there. 

 

Will we be able to add custom/user-defined waypoints in the MCDU?

 

Will the secondary flight plan function be implemented?

 

CDPLC - yes it was asked, but there is a standard, old as it is, via Hoppies. This is what all other add-ons and all controllers on VATSIM use. So in a way, it is a standard. Is it still the case that it will not include any integration on the release?

 

Might be that my shortcomings are not helping me find the answers if already given, so sorry if all was answered before. 

 

Being worked on, but I am not sure if it makes the first release for the first three items.

 

CPLDC remains complex, we have supported Hoppie in P3D but had massive support demands with that.  The main online ATC organisations are still discussing a more solid backend, we will for now await news on that. If that shows little progress Hoppie comes back into view.

Do you not think the hoppie implementation has matured since?
It seems that acceptance among Vatsim regions has increase quite significantly in the last year and the various addons like FBW and those using FBW systems have quite solid CPDLC functionality now.

I do, but both IVAO and VATSIM told me alternatives are still being considered (or even worked on)

Even better if they removed that system altogether. It invites that kind of behavior.

Yes People can downvote this ;).

No need to downvote your opinion.
The voting system has been discussed very often and indepth in the past and Aerosoft finally decided to leave it as it is. And now back to topic.

Hi Mathijs, with the window shots we were provided recently have you just made a shell of wall textures and windows instead of a full cabin, or is there just 3-4 window spots in the aircraft?

Well done with the modelling!!! Loving it

[GermanSimPilot 37]

To all people complaining or even ranting about the release policy... you may read my thoughts in this thread. I hope i can bring some understanding about what it means to develop an Airliner.

 

[cwa alt 47]

will oans be simulated for the a330neo? looks like fbw was able to colabrate with navigraph to bring it, would aerosoft consider working with fbw to bring it to the neo, and maybe the ceo?

OANS is a optional feature for the most A330-200/300 series delivered after 2016 which were designated as A330E(E for Enhanced with slightly altered wing raked design and higher max take off weight capability). So unlikely we will see aerosoft implementing it on the A330ceo.

 

However OANS is a near standard offering for the A330neo, i do know one Low Cost Carrier in Asia which decided not to equip the cockpit with it. But i guess is makes sense for Aerosoft to implement it on the A330neo as a whole.

Here is a short update on two things;

 

Somebody asked me to show Navigraph work just as well as NavDataPro:

Somebody else asked if we have calibration for hardware other than throttles:

I suggest you search as this has been discussed at least 20 times, lol.

[dbdandy 7]

Hello Mathijs, can we get another engine sound presentation please?

That’s the problem, I’ve already searched it before I asked the question and I check the forums multiple times daily. I know there will be no cabin to save on resources and give better performance, however, I cannot find anything about what I have asked.

 

Not sure if you have misunderstood my question

 

 

Edit: I've attached two photos, is it going to be like number one which is just the pockets of windows, or will it be like number two which is the frame only but all the way down (no chairs, no floor, no ceiling of the inside cabin etc)?

Tom, yes there are multiple fixed viewpoints looking like the ones in the screenshot you were referring too, and you can't pan to see more.

Hypothetically even if there was a fully modelled cabin, it would be good if one could choose whether they want it downloaded or not (done via installer usually).

I have a pretty good computer but I'd easily choose not having a full cabin for the sake of PC health and performance.
