The improvements also result in longer intervals between maintenance checks.Ī recent enhancement is the aircraft’s increased maximum takeoff weight capability to 242 metric tonnes. It was recently updated with an impressive new model and continues to be actively developed.Īs usual, you can count on our continuous coverage to bring you the latest news about this and other upcoming airplanes for Microsoft Flight Simulator.Airbus relentlessly invests in the A330 further development to deliver continuous innovation for this fly-by-wire aircraft product line, resulting in lower costs and even better operability for the A330-300.Īvailable enhancements include weight reductions in the airframe, introduction of modern passenger cabin features, and system improvements to engine upgrades, along with advanced navigation systems in the cockpit. The A330 would be an excellent fit for Brussels Airport, the impressive latest release from Aerosoft in MSFS, but also other high-quality airports such as Flightbeam’s Wellington Airport or FlyTampa’s Boston Logan.Īerosoft’s A330 might be the most promising rendition of the Airbus widebody currently in development for MSFS, but simmers looking for a fix will find the freeware Headwind A330 to be an enjoyable alternative. Let’s hope FlyByWire can soon fulfill that dream. There’s one that is totally put to the side, though… the mighty A380. This is after some speculation earlier this week that they were “looking at the A350″… Mathijs now appears to have replaced that earlier comment with a broader statement that doesn’t point to any specific model to follow after the A330. It seems the team is looking into the whole Airbus product line, from the 200 to the 350. Mathijs Kok also teased about what’s coming next for Aerosoft. Speaking of the EFB, we recently learned that the Aerosoft A330 will include SimBrief integration, which will definitely be seen as a welcome addition to the product by more experienced simmers. In these images, we can see several different panels in the A330 cockpit, including the central pedestal, overhead panel, MCP, seats, and EFB. Coupled with Flight Simulator’s rendering engine, this flight deck is starting to look quite impressive!

Despite featuring only the modeling with minimal textures, it appears evident that Aerosoft’s visual artists will bring their A-game into this project.

#A330 cockpit photos series
This week, the project manager at Aerosoft published a series of stunning new photos showcasing the A330 virtual cockpit in unprecedented detail, a sneak peek into what to expect in terms of modeling with this aircraft.

Aerosoft appears now more confident in its current progress with the aircraft, with the sharing of an increasing number of new images by Mathijs Kok. We’ve seen the first work-in-progress images of the Aerosoft A330 already, starting with some earlier schematics and slowly progressing to more detailed and realistic external and internal shots. They now seem keen on releasing not only the wideboy A330 airframe but also further models in the Airbus range down the line. The studio launched the Twin Otter earlier this year, after an initial delve into the CRJ Series. It’s well known that Aerosoft is now actively working to bring the Airbus A330 to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
