Mathijs, how are the systems going on though. Are they closing in or its just the model that is done and final. Is a percentage of completion of the systems to much asked or you have an idea? Thank you🙏

Hey Mathijs, is the A330 still planned to come to Xbox?

 

Most certainly, however to this moment there is no aircraft with WASM code available on Xbox/Cloud, so we have to wait how things will work.  We have however done all we can to reduce the memory demand of the product because that will be the most obvious bottleneck.

Are we getting any Christmas surprises by your team about whether your aircraft is going to be finished before Christmas or not until sometime in 2023? It would be amazing and everyone would have the money to buy it if it did come during Christmas.

I am sorry I was not totally clear.

 

The issue is that until we have released it for PC we are unable to test it on the Xbox/Cloud platform. So while we can do full test on PC, we simply are not able to do so at this moment on Xbox/Cloud. Now ideally these platforms should be the same as PC, but it would be wrong to release something untested.  So it is absolutely planned, just as we plan to have the CRJ and Twin Otter out on Xbox/Cloud the moment it is possible.

 

Keep in mind that the Xbox/Cloud version have to deal with less memory, so being super critical with your memory allocation is vital. Complex DLC will only work if it is programmed to the latest standards of the SDK (and the latest standards of game design in fact). So no 8k textures but 2k plus decals. That looks a LOT better anyway and saves 75% of the memory.

Hey, awesome project and I look forward for this awesome plane in the sim. 
My question: Is there gonna be a CPDLC system in the plane included like hoppie CPDLC. I think it would add a lot to the aircraft, precisely because CPDLC is the main communication on a long-haul flight across the ocean. I sincerely apologize if this question has already been asked.
LG and always happy flights

Hello Mathijs, I was very disappointed about the recently released "Free" A310 from Inibuilds since it needs AVX Support and therefore does not run on my old Machine. Besides the Velocopter also "Free" it's the only Bird that needs AVX Support.

 

So how about your A330? Can it fly on a Core i5-750 with only 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM? Having no Problem with your other Aircraft as well as with PMDG, Fenix, Hyper Performance Group and others. Only this silly A310. It's all about programming. So if the A330 will run on my System it will be on my List.

 

I could test it before as Beta Pilot 🙂

 

Best regards

I will ask, but your CPU will most certainly be below the requirements of the product and is also below the requirements of the simulator itself.

I know Mathijs it's an old Workhorse. Funny Thing is that I get with most settings Ultra, GXR Pro and FSLTL Traffic, about 20 to 25 FPS in Fenix 320, FBW3x, PMDG 737-700 and DC 6, and many more. I guess those are High End Products and they work flawlessly.

Ahh details... so many details...

See the 417VU marking?

A bit disappointed in seeing that the geometry is rather low resolution. A few more polygons to round out the edges would not have hurt in this engine. I can count the polygons on those round knobs which is a bit annoying.

Bro didnt move a single finger to make that project what it is now, yet making statements as if your subjective opinion will change something. For everyone sake, if you have nothing constructive to bring, just keep it to yourself. Thanks

I am free to share my opinion whichever way I want and I will continue to do so. I know that can be a bit intimidating for some. Don’t read my posts if you take it so personal. Thanks

You realize the viewpoint is 5 centimeters from the knob?

You are.  But it simply did not make a lot of sense, if you zoom in enough you will ALWAYS see the geometry of a round object. And this was zoomed in toa a degree that is only possible when you lay on the seats or sit on the ground. 

 

How 'round' you make an object is a complex decision for a modeler. You have to balance looks and performance. Balance high end users and people with older hardware. In the case of MSFS you also have to keep Xbox/Cloud in mind because you simply do not have a lot of memory available on those platforms.

Hello @Mathijs Kok! I am really looking forward to this plane, I am still using the CRJ and I think Aerosoft is doing an outstanding job in MSFS. I will launch two questions (though I am fully aware you might not be able to reply them yet):

 

1- Last news we had was the A330 was coming end 2022, I imagine there is a slight delay from what I am reading, are you aiming for Q1 2023?

2- After the A330, are there any plans for an A340-600? The community has been very vocal, both in the forums and in reddit about this plane, and it is quite similar to the A330 systemswise afaik.

 

Thank you for taking the time to engage with us in the forums and best wishes to the team!
