March 8Mar 8 This is also by 320 Sim Pilot, but still worth watching for the opening scenes of the A340-600 in the air. She must be the most beautiful Airbus of all. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
March 8Mar 8 I need it sooo baaaad... I wonder how far is it from being released, it looks so complete already Juan Ramos

It looked ready in December, but Capt A320 who is a former A340-600 pilot and a beta tester for this thing said yesterday, if they had released it in December it would have turned into another A330 situation. It was absolutely not ready for release back then. Which also explains why they basically went heads down for another 2 months after communicating they would not release before Christmas. Aerosoft absolutely can't afford another release desaster with a major aircraft project and have to win back the trust of the customer base first. That's probably why they decided to polish this until it shines. Edited March 8Mar 8 by Farlis

Everything looks advanced and deep Juan Ramos

Everything looks advanced and deep As much as I am.willing to get my hands on it, being a great fan of Toliss on X-Plane, I think that Fenix and even more FSlabs also offer quite sophisticated airbuses. OFC a 346 is a huge and even more complex model given the 4 engines and the size, with flight características, even for a fbw, having to be cautioulsy modeled...

March 9Mar 9 Looking forward to this one for sure. I do find the wingflex slider a bit odd, hopefully by default it's set to whatever is realistic.

Many simmers are more concerned with wingflex than with any details about how the sim models aeroelasticity, so, I guess Gliding Wiki chose to have sliders to please the full range of users 🙂 Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
March 9Mar 9 This aircraft was not originally on my wanted list, but those previews have made me reconsider. It looks really nice, and the thought of flying a large airliner with four engines (they always look better with four engines as far as I am concerned) is a tempting prospect..... Maybe it is time for me to learn the Airbus FMS? Does anyone know if this aircraft will come with a step by step tutorial?

I think 320 SimPilot mentions at the end of the video above that he's going to do some tutorials on the A340-600 - either that video or his live stream posted earlier. Like you, I also need to brush up on the FMS, and I like his style of presentation. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
March 9Mar 9 I tend to prefer step by step printable PDF tutorials, so that I can study them at leisure, and also at my own pace.

I have been taking knowledge from youtube videos and checklists from multiple sources, and then condensing them down into one checklist i use, throwing it on a spreadsheet. I have one tab for each plane, and with each flight i refine them just a bit further. I think this is the way to go, but that’s me. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 96GB DDR5 | 4K G-Sync | Win11 Pro

March 9Mar 9 https://fselite.net/content/inside-the-development-of-the-a340-600-for-msfs-an-interview-with-aerosoft-toliss/ Interesting Toliss says in this video that "one of our goals as a company is to become platform independent". This tracks with what they said in an earlier video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaJeN86eHhg about developing the flight model to be external to the sims (similar to their engine model already being external in XP), etc. They also say a bunch of improvements got done in the FM, flight control laws, EFB, systems, etc as a consequence of developing this aircraft and them taking a second look at things, and those will flow back to the XP versions in the future. They'll talk about future collaborations after this releases, based on community feedback. "It's obviously on our minds, only wise to get feedback and how it works before any other decisions are made solidly". Also didn't know they were mostly a two-person husband and wife team!
