Hello ! 
 

do you think we will have the a330 before this summer ? 
 

 

42.

 

Any news will be posted in the thread, so please don't ask.

[Ritch 65]

If this has been covered before, I apologise. I've read most of the posts on the thread. 

 

Will the cabin call buttons work that are on the overhead panel? Yes, it's a very tiny thing but for me, it would be the icing on the cake. 

 

I'd like to say a huge thank you to Mathijs and the rest of the team at Aerosoft for not only their work on the upcoming A330 but also for dealing with the users here with patience.

This is actually a really nice idea. I loved the FSLabs for how it felt like you had a purser in the back calling you to say that the cabin is ready. Could such a thing (cabin ready calls, or any other common cabin crew + pilot interaction) be implemented in the upcoming A330 perhaps?

Hey team, what are you working on this month?

I am not a fan of 'early access'. It is mainly a thing for dev teams who simply need more money to complete their (single) development and that does not apply to Aerosoft. 

 

Beta testing however is not flying 7 hours. It is doing the same take-off and climbing to 10.000 thirty times with different weights and in different weather. Thirthy times.  And then again after we made tweaks. And again after we said the tweaks were rubbish.

 

That is why 80% of beta testers are kicked out after a few weeks.  That is why it is so IN-CRE-DI-BLY hard to find good testers you do not have to pay. 

Hey Mathijs is there any requirements to be a tester? 

I would really enjoy to apply and help, if there are requirements what are them?

And once the cabin call button is pressed a text message to my wife should be sent to dress up as a stewardess and bring me a coffee. Go for it Aerosoft!

But If there is a beta test it might be much easier for example 30 beta testers all of them has different systems and will get different issues. Also you can consider it 30 times takeoff/landing and all other procedures.

Is there anyway I can block the banter and only see the updates on this forum? I really only care to know the release date and not everyone’s wish list.

Those poor devs. Doing a beta this way will ensure delay after delay to get to a release candidate because of all the new bug findings. 
 

But in all seriousness; I think Mathijs has this handled pretty well as it is.

You can follow a certain topic, you can follow a certain person, you can set some filters on unread content (button in the upper richt of the page), but you can not filter content within a topic.

Very curious...

I know Microsoft/ASOBO have no news or updates to include an option for developers to incorporate a weather radar to their airplanes yet.
Does Aerosoft, that is in close contact with ASOBO putting some pressure to remind the MSFS team that nice detailed aircraft like the CRJ and the A330 realy need a nice radar system ?
If Aerosoft, PMDG, Fenix and the rest would put some pressure on them I bet they can open something for the developers.

What is Aerosoft doing about that ?

 

Microsoft is very aware of this and I don't think any pressure from us would be helpfull.

'Immersion' is not something high on the list at this moment, but not been forgotten.

hello what are you currently working on

Indeed. It also ensures you get many (MANY) bugs that are not well documented and can't be recreated. Things like people saying climb performance 'seems' to be slow but are unable to give is the weight used and the trim of the aircraft. 

 

And The Dude has fine character judgment. I always appreciated that in him.

Flight model, MCDU, Animations

 

And things like this:

 

The yellow text was added today as we found out it does not work with an undocked EFB. So some small things and some very big things.

 

We hope to have a good vid with the sounds out later this week.

[blanderrr 32]

Can't wait! Hopefully we will all be able to fly it soon

It doesn't look like it if they are still working on the MCDU, flight model, and animations

 

hopefully in a couple of months

 

[blanderrr 32]

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

[John2 201]

A bit off topic but Asobo have announced that they will be releasing the ATR at the end of April and I think they/Hans have been working on it for almost two years. Will be interesting to see which plane makes it to market first.

[YAG 194]

Can you show us a video plane spotting a landing of this a330?

[Plebyxail 100]

 Created this account just so i can look at the pics of the plane and im currently rock solid. 10/10.

[TimJB 23]

… just be patient and stop asking for not important things like pre-release footage and let them use their time for actual development work for the remaining months… thank you
