Gone was the MDD point to point architecture with the old Arinc 429 bus, and instead used the Arinc 629/multi transmitter data bus, which was used in the B777 a few years earlier. In essence multitple systems communicate on the same bus (think of it like Microsoft biztalk, but in an airplane-setting), this leads to less wiring, easier fault detection and more importantly, it offers (semi)automatic role reassignment without needing hardwired alternate (point-to-point) paths. TLDR: looks like MD-11, has the DNA of the B777 Thanks for that info 🙏 So I guess what I'm asking is, could a Boeing type rated pilot sit down in the cockpit and operate the avionics in the same way as on an actual Boeing..? Or are the avionics still MDD hardware/interface, regardless of the background interconnects..? And I ask that to opine in which dev might have the best shot at an accurate simulation without having to learn a whole new suite just for 1 aircraft...? Or perhaps MilTech could pitch in (since they did the C-17)? Anyhow, more curiosity than anything. Edited July 10, 2025Jul 10 by UrgentSiesta

Requires so much work to get some of the avionics right, I disagree. What you would've gotten would proabably have been similar to WT but extremely stripped down from the real deal. Synaptic is actually developing bespoke systems - my friend who flew it questioned that they'd ever get it right, but even he's impressed with the previews.
July 11, 2025Jul 11 Toliss better fix their awful texturing first, before asking for 90+ $ for the add-on.

No. The philosophy of operating the avionics and auto flight remained virtually unchanged for the crew. To pilots, the display and principles of operation where MDD, not Boeing.

The artwork and modeling are being done by Aerosoft; Toliss are doing the systems and flight model. This trailer gives an impression of what the modeling and texturing will be like (obviously still a work in progress, and only cockpit shots).

That's their reputation. Systems-wise, top notch but texturing, not so much 🙂 Gave me a real headache when deciding what to buy on their latest sale. https://www.youtube.com/live/nhdZZCiddMg?si=y5JKZsShwOaFutYJ&t=315 To note though that they did update their a340 X-Plane model with new textures that fixed a lot, I'm just hoping it's part of their focus going forward. And as Martin pointed out above, the trailer doesn't look bad. 4 hours ago, martinboehme said: The artwork and modeling are being done by Aerosoft; Toliss are doing the systems and flight model.

I hope you're right, I have no doubt that systems-wise it's going to be Fenix or PMDG level, so if it's a complete package, it's going to be quite a joy to own and fly.

There should be no doubts here as they have both explicitly stated their contributions to the 340 collab.. visuals + 3D modelling + publishing by Aerosoft, and systems + FM by Toliss. Both doing what they do best I guess 🙂 https://fselite.net/content/watch-back-the-aerosoft-a340-600-trailer-created-in-collaboration-with-toliss/ https://toliss.com/blogs/news Edited July 11, 2025Jul 11 by lwt1971 Len 1980s: Sublogic FS II on C64 ---> 1990s: Flight Unlimited I/II, MSFS 95/98 ---> 2000s/2010s: FS/X, P3D, XP ---> 2020+: MSFS Current system: i9 13900K, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 4800 RAM, 4TB NVMe SSD

They've had a bad rep for texturing for years now. BUT, AFAIK, Toliss is also the only consumer Airbus addon developer used professionally by Airbus themselves.
