January 19, 20215 yr Hello I am still at fsx and wondering if there is a good a330 for fsx. I really like the Aerosoft A330 but unfortunately it is not for FSX. Does anyone of you know a good a330 or if aerosoft will release an A330 for fsx?
January 19, 20215 yr I use the Blackbox A330. Not brilliant but better than nothing. I got the Widebody pack which includes the A330-200/300 with all 3 engine types, the A340-300 and the A340-600, all for just over 40 Euros. They say they're going to update it soon and add the A330NEO and A340-200 and -500 but I'm not holding my breath. If you absolutely have to have an A330 with a working FMC and most of the systems maybe have a look, you can install it and try it for free. Otherwise the freeware Airbuses from Thomas Ruth are quite nice. But they basically use the default A321 VC. Rashid Yacine
January 19, 20215 yr The only 330 that I am aware of for FSX is available from Wilco Publishing. Aerosoft will not release one for FSX
January 19, 20215 yr Sadly there won't be any Aerosoft A330 for FSX. Furthermore, we don't even know Aerosoft will release something other than an A330-300 with RR engines for P3D4! You saw both options posted here earlier: Wilco (compatible with FS9) or Blackbox (compatible with P3D4 and I think P3D5 too). I'll just say that I have both, and I purchased them almost 10 years apart.

January 19, 20215 yr CLS (Commercial Level Simulations) also produce one for FSX but its' systems are poor and the FMC is essentially inoperative! Although I don't have it myself, I would suggest that the Blackbox version might be the best A330 you can get for FSX. However, from various comments I have read, it too doesn't seem to be perfect but at least it comes with a free trial option so you can see what it is like before you purchase it. Bill
January 20, 20215 yr Author CLS, Blackbox A330's have good exterior models but the VC is pretty bad. I saw some pictures of it. And i think that there are not really going to be more new aircraft for FSX. Not even PMDG is planning to release another aircraft for FSX. Looks like the future is MSFS 2020 . Thank you for your answers! IDLE POWER
January 21, 20215 yr BBS 'Bus VC pretty bad? I would disagree: Ignore the jpg resolution - that's just so I can upload to the screenshots forum without trying to use 5Mb bmps ! The BBS demo mode is time restricted, but that restriction resets each time you load up FSX.

It's been stuck on prologue 0.87 for quite a while now! To further add to BBS' defence - their Pre Flight Manager is IMHO excellent for inputting pax, cargo and fuel weights (it will give you a fuel load based on your departure and destination airports). Yes, I'm a fan despite having used the nice freeware Thom Ruth aircraft Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot. The best "lite" MD-11 money can buy (well, it's not freeware!)

Especially the gorgeous lightsplashes at night. And the Preflight Manager is indeed quite nice. I just wish the optimisation was better, and most of all the FDE with the weird behaviour during flare. Oh, and the MCDU is virtually unchanged from the old PSS one lol Rashid Yacine
