January 22, 20242 yr Following a thorough evaluation of the project, we have decided to shift the development and release of the A330 around the upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. This will allow us to greatly expand the focus of the project – including multiple engine options. Additionally, both the CEO and NEO variants of the A330 will be released simultaneously. Once we have more details to share, we will update you via this page. Source: https://a330.aerosoft.com/updates.php?fbclid=IwAR0F1mJ4SfTJPSFPLESoIUk5k3KZ7oZi_N54BLCD1zmXfU2z6Js7-diXPVc#dev-updates
January 22, 20242 yr Well that is disappointing. Was optimistic we’d see it this quarter. Edited January 22, 20242 yr by okupton Orman

Just hope that other 3PD companies don't jump on this "we wait for MSFS" train, like Fenix with Block2...

January 22, 20242 yr I think this is a smart move. Aerosoft's post Mathias Kok reputation depends on this A330. It was quite clear that the public wasn't very fond of having a single engine variant and at the level of fidelity similar to past Aerosoft Airbuses. If they take the time to make it better, add more features, more engine variants along with CEO and NEO I'm all for it. I obviously don't speak for everybody but I wasn't going to be a customer based on their previous release roadmap. But now that it will be planned as an entire A330 package, it's definitely has caught my attention. Is it done yet? When will it be released? Will it be freeware or payware? How much will it cost? Any updates on the progress? Will it work for Xbox? Can I be a beta tester? How's the performance in VR?
January 22, 20242 yr It would be a win if the guys at the Lab released their A330 in this quarter but given their development pace they too may come out in the MSFS 2024 era.

If I recall, I read somewhere the company has became a toxic environment to work and some developers have left the company which were working on A330. Though just to be clear, I can't confirm nor I can find where I have read this (maybe reddit?) AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5 6000MHZ RAM, RX7900XT, FreeSync 165hz 1440p display

We have zero evidence on the state of the FSLabs A330, I think it's very likely that they'll wait for MSFS 2024 as well.
January 22, 20242 yr 4 minutes ago, Booms said: Will other devs delay products until release of MSFS 2024? We shall see. No company would delay the release for something like this; there‘s too much money at stake, running costs etc. They are just not ready yet and will not be before MSFS 2024, which is why they used MSFS 2024 as a bit of an alibi here. Whatever, nothing bodes well for the A330 at the moment For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind). I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.
