I love this A330 very much so far. On my system it is very stable. Have done a number of longer flights, e.g. KBOS - EHAM (both Flytampa). I don't use the EFB much either, but to be honest, I haven't really looked at it yet.

My big concern is that the A330 doesn't seem to be able to resume a saved flight. When I asked for support, I was told off because I hadn't updated my P3dv3 to hotfix 2. That's very stupid, I admit, but I had really thought that I had an updated version already since I had only upgraded to 4.5 in September. Well, instead of supporting me, Otto just closed the topic and he wrote "why don't you guys read the manuals" or similar. Well, my problems haven't been resolved yet, and frankly, I am hesitant to ask again.

Therefore my question to you: Can you resume a flight? Save the flight in the middle of your cruise or on approach, exit P3dv4, start it up again later and continue?

My specs: Intel i7-8080 anniversary oc'd at 5ghz. Nvidia 1080; Orbx global, vector; Active Sky for P3dv4; lots of sceneries; UT2. FSlabs (319-21), PMDG (737-777), Flythemaddog, TFDI, etc.

With all the mentioned add-ons I can usually fly without issues, and certainly also resume a flight.

Thank you for your information.

I had different experiences. I've only done 1 flight, because of the missing ai compatibility, but I need to start from an saved flight around 8 to 10 times because of CTDs (something to do with chaseplane - it happens when I switched my views sometimes). I never had any issue with an saved flight, it worked perfect. 

With these experiences now we see, every system handles different with this aircraft. 

Thanks for your inputs.

VC10man: Is there anything special that you do to restart a flight after loading that scenario/flight?

What happens to me is a) CTD or b) loading the flight, but after some seconds it shuts everything off and becomes cold and dark.

I remember an add-on where you had the choice to start the plane from the last situation. Only then could you resume a flight. If you had "cold and dark" as your start-up mode, the plane would be cold and dark also when you continued a flight.

I am assuming you are using P3Dv4.5? All I did as I habitually do, all aircraft, on Finals, I save a flight. If I don't need it then I delete that Saved Flight. So, in the scenario I described above, the flight was saved in the STAR leg. Went back to it, and as related, all went well for a subsequent clean land. I do not use FS2Crew so the female co-pilot is a great help dealing with the Checklists.

I too remember that add-on but for the life of me, have not used it for a long, long time nor remember where it is.

The answer is yes. In addition, if you save during the cruise phase, your copilot's script (if you use it), will continue to the gate without any problem (descent, approach and so...).

In general, It's working fine for me for an aircraft that's in beta. Initially, the it was unstable in the control regime, but they quickly sorted it with a file and later a hotfix. I can do a full flight with FS2CREW with no issues.

It is an flyable plane, I did some OK flights with it, its behavior is strange sometimes (on descent or landing) and I had issues with the checklist, could not turn it off afterwards, they still need to fix some things in general. I would not put Professional in the product name though...I hope they will not come with the same marketing strategy like for the previous buses, to milk more money.

Agree with you there.Another different developer with the A318-A321 range, look at how their ATSU is programmed. For a  plane being touted as a 'Professional', the very least I'd think they could have come up with was a fully functional ATSU. Maybe it's in the pipeline, who knows? I do hope so. It'd really embellish this particular Airbus. I do like her sleek lines.

It's cheap tat pay to beta product.  (which I dispise of) , but this new phenomenon of unfinished products we have been graced with over the last 10 years from a variety of developers and its now seems to be the norm.  Anything to generate cash. 

Nothing more nothing less.  Saying that its 330 which we have been waiting for a long time.  Its OK but nothing orgasmic or exciting in my opinión. 

A Rushed out product to make Christmas sales and before ms2020 launches. 

It will get you from a to b.  But its way off being finished with the caveat of being 'still in progress'

Like a sign on a coffee cup saying 'hot liquid may burn'  just to cover themselves

As mentioned before.  Cheap pay to beta unfinished tat in my opinion but gets the job done
