    A330-243 MRTT " Voyager" - Image 1

    Description

    This aircraft is the Airbus A330-243 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) for MSFS2020


    -----IMPORTANT-----
    Due to issues caused by overwritng files, This now requires you to have the Headwind A339X to work!!!

    The Exterior model of this aircraft was originally from Thomas Ruth. The model was imported into Blender and re-animated as well as areas like the engines, drogues and various antennas across the model were remade and animated. The textures were redone in 8K texture resolution with more accurate details closer to the real A330-243 MRTT.

    The interior model is from the freeware Headwind Airbus A330-900 neo. 

    Both the KC.2 and the KC.3 have been modelled for this package with the difference being the KC.2 has only the 2 Drogue pods, while the KC.3 has both the wing pods and the newer Centerline Drogue !

    Currently, the Boom works with the drogues tied to the "Strobe lights" as I am in the middle of finding the best way to make them function seperately without overridng any of the original Headwind Files!

    ANIMATIONS
    For animations, all flight control animations work including spoilers, flaps and slats.

    • Landing gear , gear doors, engines, thrust reversers and doors function correctly.
    • Animated Drogues & Boom that work across Multiplayer
    • Wingflex is also included and does not affect the position of the droques when in flight/cruise across multiplayer.

    LIVERIES

    Currently only 4:

    • RAF - ZZ336 (KC.2)
    • RAF - ZZ337 (KC.3)
    • Factory Primer (BOOM RR engines)
    • Factory Primer (BOOM GE engines)

    LIGHTING

    • Navs, strobes, beacons, taxi lights and landing lights are all functional and accurate following photo & video references.
    • Full lighting for the baskets and drogue pods that are accurate!
    • Functioning lights for drogue / boom operations and drogue / boom visibility across multiplayer!
    • Formation lights that work across multiplayer!

    KEYBINDS

    Drogues - Wing lights

    Boom / Center line drogue - Strobe lights OFF once in flight

    Formation Lights (Works across Multiplayer) - recognition lights

     

    For anyone having issue with GSX not recognizing the parking brake.

    Spawn with the MRTT on the runway. Open the GSX menu and press the "Customize Airplane" button.
    In the pop-up window should be a box called "Parking brakes test".
    Enter the following line into that box: "(L:A32NX_PARK_BRAKE_LEVER_POS,number) (L:A32NX_GND_EQP_IS_VISIBLE, number) ||" (without the quotation marks). Press save and close the window.
    Once you are warped or spawned back on stand, you should be able to use GSX again as you wish without it screaming to set your parking brakes.

    ( Thank you to "softpxl" for figuring this one out! )

    Great looking model but like Headwinds A330 - Absolute nightmare to steer on ground. Didn't even get to runway hold before giving up. Also,thrust idle puts engines into reverse thrust....

    It does have the contact points done differently to the headwind and as far as I have been made aware it handles different for taxing but I would like to now what you think it should be? the thrust idle is set inside the EFB just like the upper band of the thrust reverser so it might just need tuning to have a bit more of a gap setup between to two in the EFB.

    This is a great addon, but I can’t seem to find the MRTT on Simbrief. I tried the a330-900 but it doesn’t recognise it, so is there any way of getting Simbrief to connect fully?

    its probably an a330-200 or a330-300 so try that

    Hey Nattani are you able to share which files have been edited? I have heavily customized the previous version to work with winctrl stuff and repacked custom liveries with it, which I don't fancy doing again as it took a decent chunk of time to do so, is it possible you can share the changes so I am able to implement them myself without having to redownload the new version and re-do all my changes

    Thank you for providing the sim community with a brilliant free aircraft

    The main things changed in the last few updates have just been the exterior .XMLs with better code for multiplayer visibility and added the soundAI folder for multiplayer sounds. Other than that, nothing else has been changed currently :)

    Centerline drogue/boom does not extend when strobe lights are turned on.

    It has been changed to when the Stobes are off and in flight, they will deploy. Was told that they apparently have them off to not blind pilots while taking fuel so it fixed both :)

    Thank you for all your hard work - people like you make the hobby what it is! I'm looking forward to more liveries, especially the Republic of Singapore Air Force. :)

    Is there a fix for getting SimBrief to work with the MRTT and GSX? If I use the A330-900 preset, GSX doesn't like it.

    Make sure you have the latest version of the headwind a330-900 installed as it's a dependency
