Just made one flight... emmm... it's just like the default A330! which by any means... not bad!

Ok.ok, it's 0.9 release and as the said, the only got few things in, turn on NAV looks good, but I didn't remember it was terrible in default one? fuel burn seems 10%+ higher than what I got on FCOM table but over all burn is close  enough to simbrife, I don't care much about other artistic things yet...

Their 1.0 aim looks promising, but still promise ye to be fill, let's wait and see.

Actually we got yet another A333 overhaul from Vinci, IDK, maybe it's better to have different one, or maybe they should all join force to fully zibolize the A330.

I think I'll spend 80 or more on Toliss A330 anyway....

I concur. I support those who dare to update and improve the planes that X-Plane 12 has by default, but I think your comment is very good. Vinci and AeroGenesis should join together and add both knowledge. Hopefully it will be the next Zibo but from Airbus

its a shame LR released their flagship aircraft the state they did,  The fuel burns for example are just silly.  Yet a bunch of kids can fix it in a few weeks.

just tried it on a long haul flight from LHR TO MCO.    They got a lot of work ahead of them.  That flagship a330 on all LR''s branding is in my opinion terrible. 

From problems with the fmgs, to problems with the autopilot, the fuel burns are completly off, not to mention it flies like a block of flats..  Good luck to them. 

We might as well wait for the pros at tolis to bring their 330 out,  I feel this mod will be a lost cause and the interest will fizzle out.  time will tell

It is true and it is very possible that this will happen. Everything will depend on whether AeroGenesis continues the development of the A330 and that not everyone can pay $90 for a plane. As I have said before and I hope it can be the next ZIBO but from Airbus.

Flight testing an aircraft and tweaking performance is a very time consuming process and the only airliner rated member of Laminar's team only has experience on the 744 and 733. This leaves very little time for tuning performance in between real flying duties. And there is also the rest of the default fleet that needs to be set up and maintained.

"Kids" or anybody with particular interest in a certain aircraft type on the other hand, have lots of time to tweak and modify things for more thorough FCOM compliance.
