Headwind A330-900neo

a jump from 0.74 to 0.9 for the FBW integration of the aircraft would be awesome, let’s hope they will do it this way.

my sim is not On …yet, but as far as i remember, you can configure boarding speed via the EFB or the MCDU.
I’m going to check again now, but, it’ll take a little while to launch the sim…

coming back to you with the answer. On the EFB lower left corner. Go in Settings, and then “Realism” tab.
Choose boarding time between “instant”, “fast”, or “real”.

Indeed. And it would be good if they sort out that visible chord-wise kink, approximately mid-span along the wing.
And also the geometry glitches around the cockpit window frame.

During long haul flights, unfortunately this mod stops working after 6-7 hours.

Hello, I am having an issue with this addon, I have installed the A330 headwind addon in the community folder I have unzipped it correctly but it doesnt show up in my hangar, I have tried to uninstall and install many times I have checked if I had all the files but everything is right idk what to do can someone help me?

Something different slightly. Will Headwind consider making the 330 900 GSX compatible? All third party fixes for the breaks do not seem to work.

Today’s GSX update included 330 compatibility according to the patch notes. (And 310 compatibility as well.)

Thanks for the information. It is indeed working well now. Shabaash to the GSX team

Hi everyone,
I’m not typically a long haul flight kind of simmer, I usually fly smaller turboprop planes, so maybe it is my lack of knowledge that is the issue here.

The problem I’m encountering is that during a flight, the plane is only draining the left inner tank, not both inner tanks at the same rate. I believe it is a mod issue, because I didn’t have the cross feed on, and the nb2 engine was working just fine, when it shouldn’t if no fuel as drained from the right tank.

Is it just me forgetting to turn on something on the fuel pannel, or is it something wrong with the way the plane is modelised, like a setting saying ‘drain left inner fuel first then left, then… etc.’

Thanks for your replies, and safe flights everyone.

Hard to say what’s the issue here, because i haven’t been flying it for a while. But an Airbus operates with the ‘lights out’ principle. During flight there should be (in general) no white ‘off’-lights on your overhead panel. No light doesn’t mean ‘off’ in an Airbus. BTW: Your crossfeed should be ‘on’ , which means no light. Same for fuel, hydrolics, etc. In general in an Airbus: No lights, no worries. And keep an eye on your ECAM panel. If something’s wrong it will show on your ECAM.

Their Discord channel is where to check on bugs. In this case:

Thank you very much, I am very happy! Couldn’t wait. You are a great team too. Please keep it up!!

Is there a way like the A32nx to incorporate simrate

It’s glorious! Thank you Headwind devs!

thanks for this all

Did a quick one hour shake-down flight with the new release.

I noticed the auto throttle struggling to keep speed constant during approach. Thrust would ramp up to 60%, then down to 20%, back to 60%, etc… Anyone else see this?
