Aerosoft A330

RJTT-ZSPD flight went pretty well. You gotta work with the speedbrakes on descent. Main bug accelerating at touchdown fixed and autobrake/reverse thrust. Cold and dark state at least better. Some other bugs remain for a new update.

Thanks, then we wait for the next update. :crossed_fingers:

It’s just been released A330neo and I have to say, that price immediately caught my attention! :flushed_face:

It’s incredibly cheap for an A330neo, which does make me a little cautious about what we’re actually getting in terms of systems depth.

Although Cheap doesn’t necessarily mean bad though. If the LNAV/VNAV, MCDU, managed descent and general systems are all modelled properly, it could turn out to be an absolute bargain.
Think I’ll wait for a few proper full-flight reviews before jumping in. :thinking:

An optimist might say that is a price agreed upon by licensing partners due to it being (at least partially) subsidized by the German government. A realistic would say this is due to their recent failures in the market and they want to make sure it’s perceived as a good value. A pessimist will say it’s priced low because it’s terrible and they know it.

We’ll see!

It’s not always true: look at the fantastic FlightFX Cessna Citation X, one of my favorite aircraft and the price is fair.

Yep, though full-sized airliners and high-end bizjets are still generally in different price brackets, so this price point is still very surprising for an airliner (if it’s good).

Yeah PMDG started it years ago, so unfortunately high pricing became a standard for airliners…

To be fair, I think the pricing is reasonable in most cases given 1) the very high volume of time, resources, and money it takes to develop a full-sized licensed airliner, and 2) the amount of hours I’ll put into it.

I always come back to the dollars-per-hour comparison of seeing a 2 hour Broadway show for $250 compared to flying for +100 hours in a $75 aircraft. The value speaks for itself, from that perspective - at least in my opinion.

Actually, Aerosoft announced via their Discord channel today that they’re developing A330 NEO Pro version together with ToLiss. So if that’s gonna be at least the same level as their A340-600 then it’s an instabuy for me.

Well yeah in general I agree, because the level of detail with some airlines is especially great, but sometimes they do have a hard time keeping up with software updates and for such a high price tag it is questionable.

Will take time. First Toliss will do the A350 for x-plane. If this might be a next year project, the A330 pro with Aerosoft not before end of next year.

I didn’t say otherwise. There’s no timeline given by Aerosoft.

I just got a new a330NEO from Aerosoft. I’m not sure if TOLISS is involved, but this is a beauty. Great textures, great sounds! It just feels good.

According to Aerosoft, no - Toliss was not involved in this project.

Buyer beware…

The Nav Display appears to be frozen. I took off from CYYJ and was airborne for 52 mins at this stage.

yes same. this release is just for casual gamers mostly. can´t wait for the A330 Neo Pro though
