    Previews

    Aerosoft has recently taken to their forums to provide further detail about their upcoming Airbus A330 and its cabin lighting for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Mathijs Kok has shared a plethora of previews, showing both external and namely internal model of the aircraft.

    In the forum post, Mathijs started with previews of the cabin lighting in the Airbus A330. The Aerosoft team has done a superb job on the PBR, which affects the lighting as well. With the help of Asobo Studio’s SDK and lighting behaviour in Microsoft Flight Simulator, the team has achieved realistic results with the cockpit and cabin lights. Aerosoft seems to be giving a lot of love to the passenger cabin as well.

    Speaking of the external model, Mathijs has shown especially the main and front landing gear, as well as the engine in detail. The high-resolution textures, which seem to be used all over this Airbus A330 recreation, give a great immersion of the aeroplane. Interestingly enough, these are only work-in-progress previews. Thus, the final version in the simulator might recreate A330 recreation like never before.

    Lastly, Mathijs also mentioned performance on his system. He said that his frames per second move around 60. This means that the Aerosoft A330 is already well-optimized. Unfortunately, he didn’t mention what are his system specifications.

    Aerosoft didn’t share any more information about this upcoming rendition as of yet. However, the release seems to be getting closer and closer.

    Will they only do Trent engines?

    Yeah it seems that way. I really like the RR engines, but I want the Pratt and Whitney engines for the American Airlines A330s. There used to be flights from Charlotte to Manchester with this variant and it was simply beautiful :')

    I just hope, that the aircraft will tolerate sim rate x4 at least. At the moment rate limiters hinder me from doing long haul flights which I used to do more often back on FSX

    System specs have been confirmed, source is here: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/159142-aerosoft-aircraft-a330/&do=findComment&comment=1100929
    CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (5120 x 1440 x 4294967296 colors)GPU Driver 517.48RAM 32GB @ 2133MHz
    So I'd say very good performance especially on the display being used

    serious question: what is the point of using a simulation if you do not simulate real-time, real-life operations?

    Everybody to his own liking. There are indeed people who do not have the time to spend 9 hours on the sim. There are people with a family and a life who still like an occasional long range flights.

    For sure. I have the same specs only with faster RAM and I average 40fps in the Fenix and I'm using a 1080p monitor with Medium-High settings. Definitely some amazing optimization going on

    There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but be aware that this is paid aerosoft advertising.

    Neo, Shmeo. I'd much rather simulate the vast majority of real a330 routes and operators that use the trents. I'm sure a high fidelity neo will come along eventually.

    There is something inherently wrong with your comment.

    Because people want to simulate long haul but don't have time to spend 11 hours with it running on their PC? If you fly long haul, without acceleration, do you spend every minute of you time at the PC monitoring systesm apart from the company authorised rest period? If not, then thats not realistic either. Its equally as unrealistic to use a long hauler like a A330 on a hour long route etc. I do a long of long haul in real time tbh, but normally only if I am doing something else that day, or letting it run over night. There plenty of other things I'd rather use my CPU on than watching the pacific ocean from 37,000ft for 9 hours.

    See my definition of enjoyment on a flight simulator is to actually do normal operations applied to the aircraft you select.
    I have just finished an 8 hours and change flight for an IVAO long haul tour. I have been at my deck for the whole duration of the flight, proceeding in real time, with real, publicly known 747 operations and checklists, which still allowed me to work on my second monitor while keeping an eye on my flight.
    My point being: if you are a young simmer and plan to jump in a Heavy or Super aircraft straight up, you're already doing it VERY wrong as you should very probably start your adventure with GA crafts and standard ops.
    To me, and having seen tons of content from streamers, the flight sim rate is a call for uneducated pilots to fly machines they absolutely do not understand.

    It's a simulator - let people do what they want. Honestly why is the flight sim community so toxic to people who don't do what YOU expect them to do?
    agremeister

    over 3 years ago

    In real life on longhaul flights, there are relief pilots. The captain may very well be out of the cockpit for much of the cruise phase of the flight, which is perfectly realistic. What's unrealistic is insisting a pilot must be in the cockpit for 10+ straight hours at real time speed!

    Soolarize, although I very much appreciate your insistence on realism and duty times, something I myself am a fan of, I politely disagree. It is both a simulator and a game. A sandbox that allows us to use it in varying levels of realism. Considering the millions of users, I think it's unrealistic to expect everyone to use it as a serious tool. I am overjoyed that this sim is here, and that it is this popular, helping spread aviation. I am just as happy watching someone do real procedures down to the smallest details, as I am watching people do aerobatics in a 747. Finally, from my real world experience, we routinely place first officers on the right seat of airliners with shockingly low times, especially in Europe. And it's safe, as the numbers show. Abilities have as much to do with training as with experience. And there is some terrific training available out there for most of these big irons. Oh, and let the uneducated ones fly machines they don't yet understand, why not?
    Ultimately, you get from the sim what you put in. If your intent is to use it to bolster real world training, or use it as a refresher, then you can use it for that, it will support your endeavor. If all you want is to have fun with whatever aircraft you have, that'll work too, the sim becomes a game then. Is that really wrong?

    I'll agree to disagree but praise your perfect writing here and the fact that as I did, you expressed your opinion, with the humility that it entails. Sadly not something that other people who replied can claim!

    The difference with you and those desk jobs is that they're getting paid at the end of the day. Unless you're a big streamer like Fabio or Chewwy who get paid to sit at their desk for the entire flight, I don't fault others for wanting to speed up their sim or maybe step away for a few hours to do other things.
    Funny you talk about humility in responses, but your first few comments come out the gate as very judgmental because they don't fit your picture of flight simming.
    At the end of the day, you could be the world's best flight simmer, doing everything by the books, and it adds up to no real skill gained in real life. Not all of us have all the free time in the world, so spare us the judgement.

    What do you not get when I write "which still allowed me to work on my second monitor while keeping an eye on my flight." exactly?
    I am being paid for my job that I can do at my desk, thank you for your consideration.
    As for your point regarding humility, I have explicitely mentioned this being my personal opinion. You take it as such, or as you're showing here, you don't. Besides, coming from a condescending "you clearly have no life" your comment is quite rich, really. Spare us the judgment indeed.

    And what about the people who don't have that privilege because of whatever constraints in life? Should they not be allowed to fly from Dubai to Sao Paulo?
    Starting off asking "serious question: what is the point of using a simulation if you do not simulate real-time, real-life operations?" does not really come of as a personal opinion. It's judgmental and just as much condescending. So again spare us.
    I'll see myself out now.

    Yeah you do that. I was quoting my answer, not the initial question. But you seem too intellectually challenged to sort out what's what I guess. I do stick to my words and questions though as I do not understand the entertaining part in doing a long-haul with 4x sim rate. Again, it is my personal preference and opinion, and unlike you, I do not attempt to make this a flat-out fact to the whole world.
    Since you're building a visibility over Twitch and Youtube, I would also recommend you do not jump at people's throats just because you believe your opinion is either valid or substantiated. Audiences don't like whiny brats. You'll be careful next time. All the best.

    Will they do the flight laws this time and offer other study level system depth? For the past 15 years aerosoft airbuses were not quite up there.

    I'm quite sure the A330 doesn't have yellow text on the centre screens. Unfortunately an Airbus without the systems and protections just doesn't work, it's just too tightly integrated IMO.

    very rude comment and assumption. You should do a crash course on socialibility skills
    Andrew.Glowacki

    Oh, the answer is very simple. In my case: I have a job, family, life etc and that leaves me with little time to spare for simulation, therefore, if I want to fly medium of long haul I'm time restricted, aka I don't fly medium nor long haul. Real life operations do not depend on whether or not one uses sim rate increase during flight. On the other hand, it seems like a lot of sim pilots would be happy to have that opportunity given. It does not bother those who don't use it, it helps a lot these, who do.

    I think they just don't aim at the same sim pilot as, say, PMDG... In which case, the headwind airbus merged wiht FBW is (and potentially will be) better choice. Not to mention it's free.

    Over the years I had several Aerosoft airliners. Can't say they were bad, but not good either. Mediocre. I think this one also.

    4x simrate is necessary minimum for mid-range airplanes like A320 and B737 , long haul planes must be stable in simrate 8x or are absolutely unusable :..at least for me.
    Andrew.Glowacki

    over 3 years ago

    I could live with x4 on shorter flights, say Sondrestrom (Greenland) to Copenhagen, but making a flight Frankfurt Hong Kong or even Dublin Chicago is out of reach for me for as long as there's a 2x rate limiter.I really don't get why would anyone get upset that some sim pilots would like to get x4 rate or x8 rate. I don't understand the point in putting such limiters. FBW initially put x2 limiter because as they said, they had lots of complaints from people bitching at x4 and aircraft altitude oscillating +/- 200ft... it would be nice to leave the decision on weather or not the rate increase will be used to us, sim pilots who use pzrticular product and not blanket ban something because some don't like it
    xjanakt

    I understand that owners of expensive home cockpit flying on Vatsim dont understand why is someone needs simrate 4x or even 8x . Offline flying in cruise level longer than 30 minute is simply boring - for ordinary home pilots with simple joytisck , I don´t understand how can someone resist this phase of flight for a few hours.... sitting infornt of monitor and watching plane in autopilot mode .... Anyway , Asobo 787 can resist simrate 8x without any problems, so if will be Aerosoft A330 unstable in simrate 8x, I will not buy it.

    I was going to use Asobo 787, I would manage to get the flights I want, but I don't enjoy 787. I like 767 (CS is out of hte question - rip off), 757 (none available at the moment), a330 (headwind but only x2 simrate, otherwise asobo default cockpit and systems, so NO). I'm hopeful regarding aerosoft's a330. Hope it will allow me to do some extra flights to and from Dublin and to anf from Greenland :)
