August 31Aug 31 This was rather a surprise:https://www.aerosoft.com/us/shop/flight/microsoft-flight-simulator/msfs-2024/aircraft/4349/aerosoft-aircraft-a330-neo "...now let's get this thing on the hump - we've got some flyin' to do!" ~ Major Kong from "Dr. Stranglove" Scott Cebula
August 31Aug 31 Has anyone compared this to the LatinVFR A330neo v2 yet? Seems like they're both targeting a similar level of fidelity & price point. The Aerosoft has gotten a lot of (well-deserved) flack, but the LVFR product has kind of flown under the radar - so I don't really know if it's much better? 7800X3D | RTX 4090 | ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI | 32GB 6000MHz CL30 DDR5

August 31Aug 31 Author I just watched the video btacon provided.Wow, can't believe it was released in such a state. I had hopes Aerosoft was getting their act together again since the release and updates of the A340 have been for the most part, pretty decent.

(And even there they failed utterly, see textures and night lighting).This here is all Aerosoft and it shows.

Apparently right after the release they announced a future A330 "neo PRO" with TOLIIS involvement. Stated as a totally separate product and far down the road... Joe Lorenc

August 31Aug 31 There is a new rebuild of the A340-600 in the Aerosoft works, along with a ToLiss /Aerosoft A330 Pro:https://thresholdx.net/aerosoft-toliss-announce-a330neo-pro-progress-on-a340-600-a330ceo-for-msfs-2020-2024/ Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org

August 31Aug 31 Seems a totally bizarre sales strategy too; make a really poor product first to further damage an already poor reputation and then release a (hopefully) good product later....🤔I suspect this has been released to satisfy the terms of the government subsidy they received.

Not a bad plane at all. Here what moved me to purchase it
September 1Sep 1 I think people are being a little harsh here. Last review I looked at was XP72 i think he's called. This is expressly noted as non study level. However, it has a decent passenger cabin (absent mid and back galley and absent washrooms) and the cockpit is better than what I've seen in the Latin VFR (at least pre-v2 of their neo). Textures are average i.e, won't drain your frames. It has a very nice EFB with simbrief integration, performance data etc. all transferable to the FMS. All the buttons and switches you would usually use are good to go. XP seemed to like the handling of it while hand flying.Might pick this up.I've just loaded up Latinvfr 330-900 neo v. 2. Cabin is better though you can tell they are sacrificing higher resolution for fps. Pretty even on the cockpit, I think the EFB is better on the Aerosoft. These two planes are very similar. Some of the paint jobs on the Latin are problematic such as on one of the Air Canada liveries at the tail end it notes A330-300! When you look at night externally you can see the seams in the plane at the front. Plus there are peculiar alarm sounds which go off eg a no smoking flashing light. Needs polish.
