Himbi 53 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 If this plane will be released or not, the main question for now should be "Is it worth to buy now?". Since the announcement of MSFS2024 it doesn't make sense in my opinion to spend a penny into the current sim anymore. Yes, Asobo stated that 99% of all add-ons will work in the new sim but be honest, which developer will give a free update into a completely new platform instead charging the customer for a product twice? Train Sim World or Train Simulator are the best examples for this. Literally every year a new game and all extra content has to be bought new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted July 13, 2023 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 13, 2023 So I can only advise you not to buy a single add-on or even a new simulator. Stick to what you have and love it. 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're spending the entire flight in the cockpit anyway. Worry about flying the aircraft. That's where the immersion comes from. If you're too busy worrying about those things, you're missing the point of flight simulation. Who exactly determines what the “point” of flight simulation is? If all that matters is the cockpit, then why bother modeling the exterior at all? Why put all the effort into making a good exterior model that Aerosoft has? If the “point” of flight simulation (apparently, according to you, everyone must sim exactly the same way) is to stay only in the cockpit and worry about flying, then why have we mostly only seen exterior shots? Not to mention, different engine variants as well as aircraft variants come with different systems in the cockpit as well as performance. It’s not necessarily a looks thing for everyone just like fought simming isn’t just sitting in the cockpit for everyone. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the point of adding external lights? What’s the point of modeling the exterior at all? A pilot still looks at the airplane, and being able to see more of the airplane through an external view and not being confined to the cockpit view all the time is one of the main points and advantages of flight simulation entirely 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Train Sim World or Train Simulator are the best examples for this. Literally every year a new game and all extra content has to be bought new. TSW and TS are separate games, but almost every content you bought for TS or TSW are usable now. For example, the Frankfurt High-speed rail which was published quite early, but you still can drive on it in Train Sim Classic without any other pay. And the Long Island Rail which was published for TSW2020 is still working fine on the newest TSW3 and it's go into your steam library automatically when you get the TSW3. So the capability is not the thing which really matters. What really matters is that when my money can be taken by the A330 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasseee 19 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Hi, I am currently studying for my matriculation exam, and I have been studying my subjects pretty intensively for the past few months. I am planning to take a week off from studying at the same time when the A330 is released. Therefore, it would be nice to know if the A330 will be released before the summer holidays end (in Finland on August 11th). This way, I can plan my holidays accordingly to that release date. It's been quite frustrating so far because I would like to have some free time from studying towards the end of this month, but since there is no release date for that plane, it's really hard to plan anything. Regards, Rasmus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andre760li 65 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 the fact that they create a webside for this Bird shows that it´s a long way to go They wouldn´t do that, if the release is close ahead In my view a clear sign... also that the beta testers do not show previews anymore 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the fact that the development is far enough that they have “exciting information” tells me that pretty much everything is done 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGLY RABBIT 1 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 As a fan of Korean air, is there any chance that I can count on the PW engine after RR and GE? It's not that important because, basically GE and PW looks same. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Popular Post Tom 392 Posted July 14, 2023 Administrator Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 We've been receiving an increasing number of reports on this thread over the last few days, and a few posts have unfortunately had to be removed due to heavy insulting. As such, I think it's this a good time for me to remind everyone that everyone uses the simulator in their own unique ways. Some like to fly real world routes, while others may like fictional routes, and some like following checklists while others don't. The same applies to the A330, where features such as a modelled cabin or different engine types might be more important to some than others. It's important to remember that while a particular view or feature request may not align with your views, or even be within the scope of the Aerosoft A330, it doesn't make anyone's opinions invalid, as we all sim differently and so also want different things. So with that all being said, and while we know the vast majority of you are, please stay respectful of other people's views - this isn't the place to argue or insult each other. We're just as excited to get the A330 in your hands as you are to fly it, and in case you missed the news earlier, we'll be launching a new A330 portal next week. 12 5 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted July 14, 2023 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 14, 2023 Exactly my opinion. And this is the reason why Aerosoft in the past never offered for their own products "Early access", which is nothing more then a payed Beta. For too many companies, this is just a way to avoid running out of money, and developing something like an A330 costs more than most people are aware of. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CptSool 88 Posted July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 The spoilt consumer anger and self entitlement of some users on here is beyond baffling. For the love of whoever's upstairs, you all need to calm down. We're talking about some pixels and lines of code built by a private business to cater for your hobby. Nothing more. Have you lost all sense of priorities?? Some of you seem to have lost what elementary respect towards others is. This thread used to be a gold mine of great information and conversations, now it seems it's only a bunch of whiny immature people showing off their skills. It's pretty sad. AS folks, I do not know how you cope with this deluge of intellectual misery. Hold tight, for your own mental sake. 1 4 43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
