Je sais que nous manquons un peu d'informations, il se passe beaucoup de choses et je promets de revenir sur la bonne voie avec cela.

hi @Mathijs Kok is that we will have photos of the A330 this week or not?  And do we have a release date in July or not?

Will the gate be connected to the second door?

2L is defined as the door jetways should connect to, however, there are limitations.

Yes there is a way in MSFS to define the "priority" door the jetway connects to. As MSFS handles only one jetway we defined for the Aerosoft A330 the 2L door as standard. But often (especially when the stop position is not correctly defined in the airport bgl-file) it will automatically connect to 1L or not at all to any door.

I will do some images tomorrow, working on the manuals so I will have it open the whole day.

Very excited to see this coming up nicely, and I really, really appreciate the professionalism, transparency, and open communication from Aerosoft here. Shows a lot of respect for the community and it does not go unnoticed. Very rare to come across in this business.

Agreed on that! Mathijs always has been on top of it tho.

Well, people get annoyed, when the same questions are being asked again and again, only because people do not use the search function.

Excited for everything that is going on after the trailer released, a big leap for Aerosoft to enliven the msfs sky. But one thing that i notice from the trailer, no wing flex?

Excité pour tout ce qui se passe après la sortie de la bande-annonce, un grand pas pour Aerosoft pour animer le ciel msfs. Mais une chose que je remarque dans la remorque, pas de flexion de l'aile ?

 

@Mathijs Kok

on the video it says “work in progress“!

Ok bro it’s clearly label as WIP but the bird is delayed 8 months and mathijs said the plane is mostly done externally so it’s quite surprising to see such poor wing flex and no howl sound that’s the idea because the plane is in final stages ( no offense ), thanks.

[YAG 194]

Allow me to clarify more, previously we had a sound preview where people were reporting a lack of howl sound as in p3d then Mathijs said that they have implemented it in, but as we hear it again in the new teaser where the music gets quieter there is still no howl as in p3d.

 

the second issue is the Turkish airline wing view 

, I do see wing flex but it’s strange because as the plane builds speed the wing flex’s and shakes including flaps, which I saw in real life. There was a noticeable bent and shake.
 

I hope mathijs answers this question, is the plane in the new teaser the latest model or it’s an older one? ( hope this comment doesn’t get deleted )

Allegedly one of the beta testers said that it actually has more wingflex when you're actually flying it but that it doesn't work good in playback mode. 

Same thing apparently during the PMDG 737 scenes in the IniBuilds KJFK trailer.

Btw I was the one that made that comment, so just for clarity I’m not a beta tester. And actually the relevant trailer was for the iniscenes Nadi scenery, not, as I claimed, JFK (pics attached below). As you can see the playback shows no wingflex in flight with the PMDG 737.

 

The point of my comment was to say that some in this forum have a habit of getting really upset about absolutely nothing. The plane isn’t released, and it’s not finished. I feel like many times people are in this forum clutching their pearls, assuming the worst, when 90% of the time the answer is something mundane (ie playback messing with wingflex) or simply the plane being WIP.
 

I think it’s just a bit disrespectful to assume aerosoft have so little pride in their work that they’d just release something so wildly wrong as showing the wing still flexing up while already hundreds of feet in the air. They know what they are doing.

Well... it's correct that the 737 doesn't show wing flex in playback mode. But the A330 does show wing flex as you saw, and if you search for some other in flight screenshots a few pages back you will see the same kind of flex as in the video. So I don't think that this is a replay issue, it shows the way how they done it. And if you watch the teaser video from 1min onwards you see clearly that only the outside of the wing (where the ailerons are located) bends.

Someone in the comments for the teaser wrote about how they didn’t even show the cockpit so therefore the cockpit must be unfinished and that he’s gonna stick to the Headwind because of that.. Not saying anything's wrong with the Headwind by the way.

It seems the community is very lacking in the ability of looking things up on their own.

Pictures of the AS330 cockpit have been around since at least months if not over a year now.

 

Here’s two of them:

I know we are a bit lacking in information, a lot of going on and I promise to get back on track with that.

 

Hi Mathijs,

I have seen a few rumours on the internet that you and Robert are leaving Aerosoft. Can you please comment on these rumours?

Those rumors are correct. 

 

After more than 20 years, it felt like Aerosoft and I have grown apart and that it was time to leave. These things happen. I was a bit surprised that even though I am old as Methuselah, there were still companies and people interested in my expertise and experience. I will start a new career, and I am very much looking forward to that. We'll meet again.

 

I will hand over the project management for the A330 (and other) projects shortly and am confident that the new project manager will take over here to inform you.  I am confident that the project will not be seriously affected. 

 

Now, I like to close this discussion in this forum topic. This is about the project and not about me.

@Mathijs Kok

The trailer has parts where the clips of replays have been included so there is no wing flex in it. But I did notice you're right about this addon's Wingflex in general. I think it is a bit off. In most of the screenshots that were not from replays on this very forum, I've only seen a pronounced outboard wing flex, while the inboard and midspan sections remain rigid. Now that is very problematic especially when you're flying at low dispatch weights where there isn't much fuel to counteract the natural flexing tendency of the wings and there is a pronounced deflection of the entire wing. For reference, I've attached images from the real world, the beta testers and also the Laminar Research A330, where I thought this aspect was well simulated and is roughly what I expect to see in future from the nice team here at Aerosoft. Just my feedback.

Best of Luck in your new venture Mathijs.

 

Back on topic -  Why is everyone so infatuated with wing flex? If its not there in the initial launch whats the big deal? There is only one place you are looking when you are rotating off the runway and its out the front window!
