SoarandSkor 70 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 5 hours ago, Mathijs Kok said: That is indeed something that is still being worked on. At this moment the simulator does not fully support the animation we would need for a perfect animation (the A330 main gear is very special, not like the 777), but we found that the work arounds from P3D still work more or less okay. What we need is full support of inverse kinematics for the gear boogie (tilting of boogie as rear wheels do touch ground first). Of course we have shared that wish with out friends at Microsoft and are sure this will be implemented at some point. For now what we have looks good. Thanks for the response. Can't wait to see this plane in the sim!

NKNA77 8 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Will the plane have some windows like the fbw a320 for nice wing views through the window? 3 Link to comment https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/159142-aerosoft-aircraft-a330-preview/page/58/#findComment-1099701 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemens11 1 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hey, I'm getting more and more excited for this plane. Can we have a a fast update on how developing is going and what happened in the last week. Maybe also a percentage on how finished the systems are and maybe a picture. Greetings from the US!

TFS2020 6 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Hi, I was wondering if there are any other engine options planned besides the Rolls Royce Trent 700 engines shown in your previews? I would find the General Electric CF6-80E engines in particular very cool. I would love to do KLM and Delta long hauls flight ;). 3 Link to comment https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/159142-aerosoft-aircraft-a330-preview/page/58/#findComment-1099868 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51562 Posted December 13, 2022 Author Aerosoft Share Posted December 13, 2022 I know people love to know at what stage we are... So let me show what I did this afternoon. I went over all the controls on the overhead panel and checked if the modeling was correct, if the manipulation in modern (Xbox) and legacy mode works, if the tooltips were correct, if animations worked as it should etc. painfully slow process but one of the many things that needs to be done. Here you see how we feed that information back to the modelers and coders: Please login to display this image. Of course for more complex bugs we have a bug tracking system. We even developed that ourselves because we found nothing that was simple, fast and had all the features we need. 4 6 Link to comment https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/159142-aerosoft-aircraft-a330-preview/page/58/#findComment-1099881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think that is possible in the sim. And then you would have the problem on how to remove it. De-icing station are not functional in the sim.

I know the Fenix does, and they completely pause the simulation, but that is done through their external software. I think PMDG does it as well but I don't know how it works I just know they have it. I think, if possible, a pause at ToD would be very helpful in a product like this as i know many people will set up a long haul, go to sleep, and sometimes miss ToD, or have pause at ToD enabled for when they wake up. 1 Link to comment https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/159142-aerosoft-aircraft-a330-preview/page/58/#findComment-1099930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51562 Posted December 14, 2022 Author Aerosoft Share Posted December 14, 2022 Yes, the way Fenix does it will not work for us because we only do full SDK DLC, so it will work on MSFS PC, Xbox and Steam and can be sold via the marketplace. No matter what you think about the marketplace, it remains by far the biggest place of sale. I do not think PMDG is able to do it. But will check and ask them how that's done when they got it working.
