Aerosoft A330 Professional: The FSElite Review

[@FahdRiyami]

I bet that by the time the FSLabs A330 is released in 2045 Aerosoft will still be fixing bugs and the -200 still wouldn't be released.

[@noel12397]

Lol

[@andreasolsen5174]

6 years and we didnt even get the GE engines....

[@AA-tz2bm]

Bro the RR is 70% of the a330 market

[@andreasolsen5174]

@@AA-tz2bm 30% isnt

[@AA-tz2bm]

Andreas Olsen Yes, it doesn’t make sense why they would only do one model despite all this time but it makes sense why they chose RR instead of GE.

[@andreasolsen5174]

Yeh... I like the RR most (SAS) but i also want GE

[@320ifly]

GE and PW seem far more common IMO.

[@ScottOSaurus]

Cue Mathis and his excuses. This was a very fair and well rounded review.

[@KarlMathiasMoberg]

As many have pointed out in the past, you mentioned that the flight dynamics “make the aircraft feel heavy when flying” - it shouldn’t. It’s a FBW aircraft that has a logic created that makes an A330 feel the same to fly, no matter what load you have, and it feels very similar to the A320 series, that’s the entire point of the system. Aerosoft refuses to acknowledge this though... Great review!

[@Luis_DE]

6 years and they mist a correct fuel consuption rate. Aerosoft should be only a publisher and not developer...

[@christophersargeant4545]

To be fair, I don't think the actual fuel consumption was an issue, provided you use a competent flight planner (i.e. SimBrief, etc.). Rather, it's the shoddy FUEL PRED outputs that can't/couldn't be trusted.

[@AirborneBlanco]

7 years of development and its hot garbage.

[@davidh7280]

At 17.55, fluttering control surfaces, I last saw this on fs9, years ago! Enjoyed your review.

[@zk9058]

Thank you for the review. Very thorough. I was surprised to hear that the A330 is the first aircraft you owned with PbR cockpit textures. You need to get yourself the NgXu and maddogx......both add-one are fantastic and worth the investment. I promise you won’t regret it.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Very thorough review with lots of well made points. 👍 Thank you! 👌

[@Kolobochok95]

My dishwasher has more systems and features than this.

[@cactus9201]

Thanks for the video. Please note that wing flex on A320 is limited in real life (unless you fly into a CB).

[@PatTheG]

Hey, you shall mention, that aerosoft offers an discount to all users of an Airbus Professional series e.g. the A318/A319 Prefessional.

[@eddewes8409]

The A330 is a little slippery with FBW where it can lag a little when moving the stick too hard so that's at least realistic...great review

[@Aleksandar6ix]

The wings on this plane are quite stiff indeed. I've flown on A330 less than a month ago, and that wing flex was close enough.

[@walterdavidson5511]

Adding cfg entries is literarily copy and paste. The read me file is simple and easy to understand

[@captainif6731]

You can use Aerosoft Livery (Works with all Aerosoft aircraft)

[@MilanPutnik]

Like...hey...@17:55...hey hey hey stop ! Stop... ---------------------------------- Fake windows...too dark of a cockpit...avionics and systems reset at some weird moment if you do this or that, autopilot sometimes overshoots and messes up, in this or that situation FPS drops to 10...elevators can stutter up and down...like wtf ??? ---------------------------------- Allright, you are a professional and with all due respect towards the Aerosoft company that really makes some of the best products for our sims...from utmost decency you're trying to be politically correct and avoid cutting it to the chase and just saying: "PEOPLE...THIS PRODUCT IS AN UNFINISHED CATASTROPHE !!" ---------------------------------- I watched all the way up to this point @17:55 and just had to pause and write this ! I just had to ! ---------------------------------- This product...as per this review...is "okay" only for crazy people...no other words. I won't be buying this, not gonna do it again and waste my money the same way I did with the latest Feelthere E-Jets v3, no no no ! Imma download it from a torrent, test the crap outta it first, and only then shall I decide if I'll buy if it's worth my money. it or just uninstall it. ---------------------------------- Thanks for the review !

[@tranquilohomie2248]

Somethings off in the cockpit windows, I think its a littile too big like in the a320 professional series.

[@AA-tz2bm]

A bit late but Cathay dragon still has the dragon air livery on some a330s btw.

[@Shaun81000]

why does aerosoft hate wing flex so much?

[@saidurbha7216]

I have a question. I just got the aero soft a320/21 and I have a efb in it and it says aero soft a330 on the efb. Do u have any ideas on what this is?

[@FSElite]

Id guess this is because it is based off the A330 EFB. I have not checked it out though, so I can not tell if it has been optimized for the A320 or just a straight port over from the A330. Nick

[@P3DOC]

What addon do you use for your night lighting? Or is it just orbx global and vector?

[@coriscotupi]

Is the Pilot Weather app shown at 07:48 funcional?

[@luxuryva]

pitty this beauty didnt come to FSX we have crap A330s atm

[@captlogar1-2]

this can available for fsx

[@patriciorodriguez9796]

Fsx :(

[@FauxKun]

Hot damn it took you long enough hehehe

[@tomorrow2593]

It makes no sense to review a aircraft right after release

[@calumarshmellow]

It takes a long time to produce content to a good quality. If it's something you could do faster, I welcome you to have a go! Love to see the results :)

[@FauxKun]

hell yeah dude, i'll make a review for my PC... Spoilers, it's 1 out of 10 lool Srsly tho, no hate was intended here, nick was in VC with me and just wanted to pull a leg ;)

[@jackholmes2374]

*three years later*

[@TheBabie113]

6 years and now theres p3d5 and msfs2020

[@benjamingjuraj1226]

Are they gonna add the other models and engines too because i bought it today

[@prajwal_747]

Just let me know if you get an alternative to replace Rolls Royce engine with the GE.. THANKS 😁

[@userDFboeing]

wait wait wait, why ur refelction profile looks way better than mine? did u edit it yourself ? theres no way its the default pbr from aersoft since mine doesnt look like that at all + how u "boosted" ur cockpit textures omg i need that as well

[@FSElite]

I didnt edit it at all. I use tomatoshade, but no profile was applied to the A330. Nick

[@userDFboeing]

FSElite and what about ur “boosted” cockpit textures ?

[@NickFlightX]

@@userDFboeing The boosted was because they cockpit was very dark and was not as easy to see the details in the cockpit. I boosted it to make it easier to see.

[@userDFboeing]

NickFlightX how u did that

[@NickFlightX]

LovelyBaguette it was through my video editor. I didn’t modify any plane files

[@PKerusso]

How embarassing for aerosoft. At least they are consistent in creating very poor aircraft. no need to guess.

[@vladimirkurdish2318]

Hi. My a330 trim is jumping

[@NickFlightX]

This was mentioned in the review. The trim button you assign to a button for example are very jumpy. Using the scroll wheel is much more precise, but is slow.

[@vladimirkurdish2318]

@@NickFlightX just after engaging autopilot it starts jumping

[@vladimirkurdish2318]

It literally makes me get upset to stop flying and I'm so bored without airbus

[@alexmercer7687]

Is Aerosoft A330 will be in Fs2020

[@lucaansems2973]

It is planed from Aerosoft to covert all their products to msfs2020 with the crj series being the first December. I believe with the current state oft alsobos sdk it‘ll take some years till all Aerosoft products are available in Msfs2020.

[@kerucutgaming2216]

They've just confirmed it, although I would say it could take a long time to materialized.

[@747simmer4]

So xplane and p3d have a terrible a330

[@nadhifasolution]

any gate to gate tutorial in pdf ?

[@richardnewman7434]

Report it. Let aeroaoft know that they need to fix this aircraft especially for low end pc. Not everyone can afford high pc

[@3GM65D]

6 years and they use window textures... What the fuck.

[@mwegkr]

Nice review with two big failures, why do you use an extremely outdated version? Last official since end of february ist version 1.008, also the official download version. Why using an incompatible shader tool? With default shaders the textures are as expected and not dark.

[@FSElite]

As mentioned in the review, version 1.0.0.2 is the latest STABLE version. Version 1.0.0.8 is (at the time of writing) labeled as 'experimental' thus not deemed stable enough to be pushed as a proper update. As for the shaders, Nick (and various members of the team) all tried with and without shaders all to the same effect that the cockpit is dark. Nick then showed this when clipping through the windows in the cockpit to show that outside was indeed bright.

[@sammulhare302]

Very overpriced for level of detail IMO.

[@richardnewman7434]

Guys make reports and get mad at aeroaoft to fix all the problems.

[@militaryav8r]

I'm glad I didn't spend money on this. Aerosoft makes great scenery, but their airplanes are garbage.

[@jackholmes2374]

That's because they don't make 99% of the scenery under their name!

[@militaryav8r]

Jack Holmes That’s true.

[@jackholmes2374]

@@militaryav8r Hahah

[@fsxp3035]

But compared to the JAR A330 its way better lol

[@militaryav8r]

FS EXPERIENCE yeah… but isn’t that an X-Plane product? How does it compare to another P3D product like BlackBox?

[@nez3009]

So when you were showing the landing gear animation on touchdown, you screen recorded during a flight. Not during an instant replay. I have to say that every airbus for P3D are huge disappointments. Even the FSLabs aint all that. This A330 is just not worth the price tag even if it was a better plane. When they are asked why the animations and instruments don't work in the replay, they give the same old lame excuse "inverse kinetics." They said they tried contacting Lockheed Martin about it and got no response. Is this really true? All the money they pay for a developers license and they can't get a response to a tech question? The problem isn't a P3D issue. The issue is developers trying to get JBSim or some other physics software to interact with P3D because they don't know how to setup flight dynamics in the existing software. The video is a nice review but it would be nice if you put the specs of your rig in the description if you're going to tell us the frame rates you're getting with the add-on. Only makes sense. Right?
