Looks good in that video. If the reviews are okay, I'll defintely be getting it. My favourite Airbus of all.

$$$ grabbing at this point to gullible souls who have money to just waste.

Poor, poor gullible me. I'm really looking forward to this one.

With the Horizon mod I'd very likely buy this product.  Without I definitely wouldn't.  But with LVFR success nonetheless.  

Based on the response I got to asking in the Horizon Discord, they dismissed out-of-hand doing another LVFR mod project. I think they, for better or for worse, feel that Ricardo's statements about not supporting mods were a step too far and they don't want to work on polishing or fixing things for them anymore, just want to focus on their own projects instead.

I think it's a real shame. Their 787 is great, but unfortunately a mod is about the only way we're ever going to see a decent rendition of the A340. 

I'm just hoping the endless legions of FSElite comment brigaders decrying the release of yet another A320!!!! and demanding an A340, something I've seen dozens of times, will have maybe a couple skilled coders who might attempt to adapt over the FBW systems. One can hope... I don't think the chances are very good.

I don't think anyone was working 'polishing or fixing' things was something we ever asked of anyone. They decided on their own accord to do this, without any request from us to do this. They were using the FBW code which is to improve the planes, we are grateful because many people enjoy them better, however;

Its unfortunate they decided to punish not us, but their fan base with their decision, because frankly our Airbus A330neo has been the most sold product we have ever had, and that's despite no FBW mod that exists, and also the existent free Headwind version which is great. Also we have never been proud of releasing products that require mods so they work properly. We have been upfront and transparent about our products from day one. With our A340 we have allowed raw unedited live-streams with hours of the plane flying, with its issues or not, its with the intention that no one ever feels we are selling you something that appears to be something different than what really is.

We love transparency, and if by being transparent we lose customers, so be it.

In the end of the day, liveries, mods, etc can be done by anyone, as long as our files are not distributed. We are committed to our customers and we don't punish them for doing legal things with our addons. What they do with our addons is up to them. And we won't be against that.

Lots of work was devoted to the A340, and lots of it was under the hood, despite not having our own avionics, believe me we are working hard to get it done soon.

Will there be an option to calibrate throttles? I don't manage my throttles within MSFS.
