Hello aside from a few images I would like to share my thoughts visually on the aircraft as well as some improvements that can be made, and while I do acknowledge it's not even the main selling point at all. Given MSFS's obvious eye candy graphics, aerosoft and atarium should be able to use that to their full potential however I am noticing several lacking areas, whether it be modelling or textures, but I will start with (imo) the good stuff:
I think the attention to detail given by Atarium is very good. You see alot of wear and tear around the aircraft internally as seen in these shots, such as scratches, and dust
However the lacking/bad areas are that most places look low quality even if you zoom in ever so slightly, and I just feel like in this day and age (I am going to reiterate multiple times how it's not the main selling point) that MSFS visuals are just simply not being taken advantage of by Aerosoft, or the aerosoft modelling team is just stuck with optimising for absolute potato machines that can run older simulators like p3d or FSX, which simply isn't necessary, you can get absolutely stunning visuals while optimizing for good performance, inibuilds have done it but not sure if you guys can do similar techniques like they have done.
And in these two photos you can already see the key problem I have with general aerosoft visual work, it's just how many low poly stuff I can find in the cockpit, seriously Aerosoft what are we doing? I can find similar modelling deficiencies in the aerosoft a330 such as the low poly sidestick and gater, and probably even having the same stuff I see in the a340: low poly screws and low poly everywhere, but i'm not giving more photos for that, some of these low poly items you won't notice, which is fair, it's all about balancing the performance (which this aircraft does quite well in) but the second you zoom in or turn on the dome lights (which are annoyingly bright to in MSFS2024, which may be the case of it not being native maybe) you see how low quality some of these textures look. Even in the cabin the carpet does not look good quality, the textures in general in the cabin if I am going to be honest look similar but slightly worse than the cockpit
I'm again going to say I understand it's not the main selling point at all but I am hugely disappointed for 2 years of work simultaneously with ToLiss doing the systems and you guys doing the modelling, for the portion paying for the modelling. It is not worth it at all! I find it ridiculous that the most basic stuff is at this quality level, the modelling exceptionally bad. But I doubt there'll be any changes at all 😂
Just to add the exterior is perfectly fine however some spots do lack to which I may make a separate post for posterity
