It is pretty neat how inibuilds made the A330 Family for MSFS 2024, But we’re missing the A330-200F specifically. This variant is the most popular one in Airbus family when it comes to cargo aircraft, more popular than the A330-300P2F which has less operators. I am sure i and many others would love to see this aircraft added to the inibuilds A330 Family fleet. Here are the current operators of the A330-200F:
Avianca Cargo
Turkish Airlines Cargo
Air Belgium ( operating for CMA CGM Air Cargo )
Air Hong Kong
Egypt Air Cargo
Hong Kong Airlines
Mas Air
MASkargo
MNG Airlines
Sichuan Airlines
Turkmenastan Cargo
I think one of the issue is the 200F specifically comes with a nose gear bump to reduce the nose down look that poses cargo load shift risk. A330-300P2F on the other hand is a conversion and did not need significant changes to the nose gear.
Seeing that resources is already spent on the A400 and Beluga XL for Asobo. I currently doubt if INI has the manpower and resources for the 200F seeing the upcoming payware A350 series is on the priority list.
100% hoping we see an A330-200F. While the A330-300P2F is a real welcome addition, the A330-200F would be epic, a lot more flights available to do plus it’s chin/beard looks epic.
Just out of curiousity. The current renditions of the Ini A330 in MSFS2024 have a rather ‘twitchy’ MCDU, in terms of it showing no fractional delays in the displays when inputting, like the A320 does. Is that an A330 MCDU thing, or just rather shallowly simulated?
