As you may know, there is a very open flow of information between PMDG and 'my' teams. Very few secrets and a lot of trust. We know they have issues there and we have told them we would be happy to offer any assistance. I would be happy to send them the complete code of the A330 EFB if it would help them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but until I got something to sell I will settle for something to talk about, lol. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think no one would complain if these two thin grey stripes would be removed. Without these I would have thought this being a real photo. Okay, solid comment, will be looked at. You know, one reason I share screenshots is to get these comments! For example, somebody noticed in screenshots that a complete bitmap was missing from the gear doors. Now believe me when I say we have a very solid beta test team and a Quality Control team (not the same). But this is stuff that can be missed. Now solved. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ftanyous17 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Hello! I'm not sure if this question was already addressed but will the performance of the A330 be similar to the CRJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this question was already addressed but will the performance of the A330 be similar to the CRJ? It has been discussed so do a search. It is a bit difficult to reply in detail right now because we are testing major parts outside the sim (we have an MSFS simulator simulator), but we are hopeful. A major part of what drags down FPS is modeling/texturing and I know we are state-of-the-art on that. Apart from Carenado, I think we are the only dev team who considers Xbox and Cloud at every point in the development. And no, that does not 'drag down' the PC version, just look at the screenshots. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Popular Post Mathijs Kok Posted March 15 Author Root Admin Popular Post Share Posted March 15 23 hours ago, Ярослав Подъяпольский said: Great screenshots, but what are those thin gray stripes on the wing? Well, your posts did cause some discussions on our internal channels. The simple fact is that most people do not really understand how an aircraft is bolted together. The line you see is not a line of rivets, it is the gap between the fuselage sections. That gap is there to remove areas of stress (check the story of the Comet, which did not have these gaps). Now on almost all MSFS aircraft, you can buy this is a 'line'. We modeled it in 3D, so it has shading. That was based on our own research of the aircraft (we never do an aircraft without having access). Here you have one of the thousands of photographs our team made. You will see it is not a line but a gap. 18 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats Cool, there's only maybe 1-5% Users who practically use The Abnormal procedures anyway, even the Fenix one i only use the failures maybe bellow 10 flights cant wait to see or hear more updates for this Beauty Thx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about that either Nothing that you can not do with a livery from a user. I think the focus is simply on the function and the model of the plane. What I personally also find much more important. Better an "okay" livery and a great plane instead of a "great" livery and a bad plane. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuel dumping is anyways an extra option of the airline to choose from. Some A330s have it, some don't. Ours don't. And I also believe that the version where this option is not available is more common in general as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also believe that the version where this option is not available is more common in general as well. My question is more about the actual use of the A330 than the model. Isn't fuel dumping a mandatory option in aircraft design? After all, fuel collection is used in case of failures, when a forced landing is provided and there is a need to dump fuel. In this case, the desire of the airline goes by the wayside The second part of the question. If there is an A330 in which fuel dumping is not provided, what were the designers guided by when lining up the aircraft without fuel dumping, namely reliability, etc.?
