  • Might as well get this

  • Why are you trying to criticize people's opinions? It's worthless what you are trying to do.  It's the community who invests money in products and they are all potential customers. That's so

It's actually released already, but from the looks of it you should absolutely avoid buying it.

It's poop. There's default aircraft in 2020 that are better quality than this.

There's freeware aircraft for the sim that have more features...

What a shame...

based on the ini A320Neo in 2020, the ini A330 in 2024 will have more features than this lol

You folks really like hating. 

Personally, this isn't my cup of tea, but I don't go out of my way to actively hate products just because they don't sit in the category I like. 

They went for the "cheap and simple-ish" way. That segment quite obviously has a market.

Better Aerosoft occupying that segment with a product that isn't what I want but is at least competently made (and it is) and attempts to reproduce the airliner in question to a point, than somebody like Bredoked, who will drop unmitigated word not allowed that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter besides the (poor) 3D model vaguely looking like it.

This gives people what they paid for, and that's fine.

Not all developers will go for Study Level, no matter how much hate they get. That is also fine.

It has less features than the P3D version - It can't even do holds. It took what 4 years? 

 

Let's also have a reminder they got a grant from the German gov for this project:

Aerosoft is developing two models from the Airbus series as a DLC extension for the current version of Microsoft Flight Simulator . The aim is to create a 3D model that is as accurate as possible in terms of detail of the two aircraft types A330NEO and A340, including a detailed cockpit and all important on-board systems, in order to bring the player closer to the subject of commercial aviation and allow him to immerse himself deeply in the role of a real pilot. The aim is to use the latest tools to develop numerous functions, animations and sound effects that have not yet been implemented in Microsoft Flight Simulator .

Grant: 459,001.00 euros

They actually released it for 2020?

So what? were you forced to toil in the salt mines for these 4 years? Is someone holding a gun at your head threatening you to buy it or else?

We don't lose a single thing due to the existence of this product. Other people will purchase it for what it is and they will receive something that fits their needs and they'll likely enjoy.

No one loses a thing and some gain something. It's a net positive. But hey, let's keep throwing gratuitous hate at developers because it makes you feel cool, for some reason.

Haven't thrown any hate to them - I just find the release shocking.

€70.54????? If that's really the cost then the criticisms are more than justified

They never said it was going to be 2024 only.

Though they did say they were going to wait for 2024 to release, I wonder why they changed their mind.
