VBHB Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 On 2/6/2023 at 10:28 AM, Tobias Nome said: I just thought of something which would be really cool. The real-life 737 pilot 737NG Driver over on youtube (referenced in this forum previously), provides some really informative and in-depth videos on the PMDG 737. Would it be possible for Aerosoft to get someone like that to do similar videos on the A330 when it's out? By that I dont mean copy his content, but I personally would love it to get some insights into the nitty gritty of the handling, systems and general normal operation of the A330, something that extends beyond the contents of an A to B tutorial video. Lets say you get a real-life Airbus pilot, or someone familiar with the type (I'm sure there are some in-house as well). I learnt more from real life cockpit videos like justplanes than watching a youtube video from some PMDG groupie. 2 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize he’s a real life 737 pilot? I have found his videos to be extremely helpful. But anyway, off-topic material. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swan1100 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I completely understand why developers do not give a release timeframe. It is just a bit awkward for folks like me, who like to give themselves a budget when buying addons. Parts of me want to buy the 739, or the Premium Deluxe for the 787, and parts of me says to wait for the A330. Without knowing roughly when things will release, I can't plan my budget and may end up buying something else to tide me over, only for Aerosoft to suddenly reveal that the 330 is finished. In which case I would have to delay my purchase of the 330. There is internal strife in my brain. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, Mathijs said when they are ready with the 330, the release will be announced in advance and will have enough time to prepare for it. I am picking up the -800 this weekend too! I just hope Mathijs and the Aerosoft team swing the release comfortably ahead of the B777 haha! (I know the triple is far away and I think the A330 development has progressed a lot further than the 777). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 1 is a little over seven weeks away and they aren't even close to beta testing. Still working on coding systems. Beta testing will take 4-6 weeks or so. Maybe mid-summer. I plan on using the A310. John 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example I am myself testing the EFB, others are testing the modeling and texturing of the different models that are completed. We are planning testing of the animations right now. In a project like this you do not have a 'beta' test. You have many beta tests. And some take a day, others take 6 months. 3 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously release is a ways out, but would you say that based on the current state of the aircraft there is a chance that we might have it by Cross the Pond?

Root Admin Mathijs Kok Posted February 8 Author Root Admin Share Posted February 8 Unfortunately ChatGTP was not as useful when I asked it to develop a CRJ. "Program a CRJ for Microsoft Flight Simulator" "I'm sorry, but I am an AI language model and don't have the capability to program a CRJ (Canadair Regional Jet) for Microsoft Flight Simulator. However, I can provide you with some resources that you can use to learn how to do it: The Microsoft Flight Simulator Developer Network (MSDN) is a great place to start. It provides information on how to create add-ons for the game, including aircraft, airports, and other elements. There are many online forums dedicated to Flight Simulator modding, where you can ask questions, share your work, and get feedback from other modders. Some popular forums include Avsim.com and Flightsim.com. There are also several YouTube channels dedicated to Flight Simulator modding, where you can find tutorials and walk-throughs that show you how to create your own aircraft for the game. The Microsoft Flight Simulator SDK (Software Development Kit) is also available for download, and it provides you with the tools and resources you need to create your own aircraft, airports, and other elements for the game. I hope these resources help you get started on creating a CRJ for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Good luck!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I have no idea on how you test your projects, although I do appreciate the explanation that you have provided. I am only speaking as a customer and user and outside observer of your development process starting with the Aerosoft Extended A320 family for FSX, the Twotter for FSX and MSFS and the CRJ family for FSX and MSFS, My recollection is that each of these had a beta test phase to test potential release candidates and my (likely faulty) recollection is that these test phases took 4-6 weeks. I actually was a beta tester for the CRJ in FSX which actually took more than 6 weeks. In any event, I do apologize if I gave the impression that Aerosoft did not do any unit testing during the development stage. I am reasonably familiar with software development and I am aware that testing is performed at each stage of the development process. I wish you godspeed in the completion of this project to which I am very much looking forward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
