Airbus A330-200 | Paris - Saint Martin FULL FLIGHT | Flight Simulator 2024 | Real A330 Pilot

[@sk8guitardrums]

I just love how honest and blunt you are A330 Driver, such a experienced, smart guy with lots of real world knowledge, then sharing your knowledge & skills online livestream or videos like this is great for other flight sim users to learn from. appreciate your time and efforts. such a shame on MSFS2024 for not loading the scenery in. they need to fix the current issues and then it could be something worth buying. i am still holding off for a while longer and still happy with MSFS2020

[@A330Driver]

Thank you very much :)

[@zk30034]

The reason why it’s blurry is because it’s still streaming to override this if you have this airport in your streaming folder, you simply rename your add on to the same name and it overrides the streaming. So as an example if you had Aerosoft EDDF in your new community folder rename it the same as the Asobo standard and It will read your standalone scenery rather than streaming the old one.

[@Jona-gs7ye]

I went to Sint Martin one month ago and I really have to say it was the best trip in my entire life. The Airport, the isle everything is so great over there. Went every day to Maho Beach :D

[@ArrRoh]

That Timelapse is a thing of beauty! Thank you as always 🎉

[@mrmisterno1]

Nice! I went on this exact flight in the A330 a couple of years ago. Amazing approach and the firmest landing I've ever experienced.

[@FlightSimFun26]

Nice video a330 driver! I am so excited about this video because I was going to recreate it this weekend. Continue like that!

[@SXMaviator]

I just used to live in sint maarten but moved to the netherlands.. so nice seeing you do a route from where im born! and the runway and taxiway being bumpy is real because atleast every road in sint maarten has a big hole in it or giant bumps 🤣🤣😃😃

[@OSSA380]

Please post this over at MS!! Sad to see the loading issue in 2024!

[@A330Driver]

I think they are well aware by now. It might just take a little longer to develop a fix for this, who knows what exactly is happening in the background.

[@w3ak364]

I had fallen asleep shortly after departure and then nice energetic, morning alarm-like music has woken me up, Great video!

[@A330Driver]

"Fallen asleep shortly after departure" - piloting done right then ;-)

[@XYQW7]

Whoever thought that this "streaming everything" is a good thing to do for MSFS2024 should be kicked off Asobo instantly. Just look at this arrival airport, blurry mess. BTW: if I am not completely wrong: if you put everything AI traffic related on "ultra", it wont use those ugly A330/A380-lookalikes from MSFS2020 anymore. At least I cant see them anymore since setting everything on ultra.

[@slizzy418]

That’s not what their dumb fanboys think it would seriously bring the whole franchise down if this streaming shenanigans was the only way to playing !!! streaming sucks!!!

[@joshuaspop8865]

There’s not a SSD made that would hold this game. It would take a legit server to load the whole thing. That’s why it’s in the cloud. Asobo would love to not have to maintain all the servers needed to stream this game, but it’s not possible to store it locally. It’s massive.

[@BKZRT]

excactly. besides, its not like the total storage space will change, tens or hundreds of gb are stored in folders, i would rather wait to download those for the whole day instead of having everything load in at the last second

[@XYQW7]

@@joshuaspop8865 wrong. Of course I am not talking about those peta-bytes of ground textures. MSFS 2020 had a way better balance between streamed and locally installed content. Streaming airplanes and addon sceneries or even airports is just complete bull*. Even more in 2024, where 1TB of SSD storage is as cheap as never before.

[@joshuaspop8865]

@ just crank up the rolling cache, set terrain pre-cache to ultra, and there you have it, long as you have the right computer and strong Internet. This really isn’t that big of a deal, other than a few bugs and some missing airport terminals, I’m literally having no issues.

[@VBHB83]

Really enjoy the 300 and 200. Did YBBN to ZSPD recently 10 hour flight was great no issues.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Your comment about the scenery loading at the end: Are you positive this your local one? Unless you employ IniBuild's workaround and put your local one in a folder that is named exactly as the asobo one in the community folder, the streamed one will still take priority. I have not seen such late loading with my local airports.

[@A330Driver]

I thought I had implemented that trick, but perhabs I have forgotten for this airport. On a couple others it worked nice indeed!

[@LONGITUDE787]

Emmanuel, thank you for yet another great piece of useful information and entertainment. I have a question regarding the A330-200. I have just flown a Qantas flight from Sydney to Hong Kong and took just the amount of fuel indicated by Simbrief. Winds could have changed or the model in Simbrief is not similar to the Inibuilds one, anyway the approach started with around 4000 kg fuel and there was the message to land immediately. The rear tank (or is it the trim tank? Sorry, not sure about the proper naming) was showing still 2400 ish. No matter how I tried, seeking for the right solution to transfer that fuel - I could not find the way. The Inibuilds manual doesn't mention the fuel transfer, or I was not able to find it. Is this the untouchable amount or will it feed the engines automatically after all other sources are dry? Hard to believe. Or, is it the bug? What do you think? I have been watching this video closely to see if you will implement some procedure, but your fuel state was far better than mine. Oh, btw - I landed safely, but with only about 2 tons in the tanks (apart from that 2400).

[@pilot.4g]

This video makes me feel learing so much things, It's better than all kinds of tutorial

[@speedbird8326]

33:14 notice the aerobridges moving around like they've got a mind of their own. Did no one notice that during testing ? And of course the blurry scenery on landing. Good job Asobo releasing a half-arsed product.

[@77GolfXray]

The whole simulator is a nightmare, especially for people serious about simulating realistic flights. I want to fly the A330 but I just can't bring myself to deal with the bugs and the crashing, and the terrible scenery.

[@speedbird8326]

@ I tried it but there are far too many bugs for anyone serious about flight simming. It’s going to take a year or longer to get the bugs fixed, if ever. What you’re seeing is the Xbox-ificstion of what used to be a sim. Now it’s just a bad game. It got a refund it’s that bad.

[@Aleksandar6ix]

Theory... In fs20 you would have to disable/uninstall the Asobo airport when overwriting with a 3rd party replacement. With fs24 streaming and the marketplace disabled, you can't remove the Asobo version and you're getting an overlap of two sceneries. And a question... Why disable the FD during a hand flown approach? Wouldn't it help you and still activate GA guidance?

[@GarciaCTB]

how the Inibuilds A320 FS24 compares to A330 systems ? Could you do a A320 showcase testing everything ?

[@ViktorFlightSim]

Hey ! I love your content and this video was stunning ! I was just wondering if you had a solution for me as when I want to fly iniBuilds aircraft in MSFS 2024, I am able to turn them on and to preceed to a good pushback but then when it comes to taxiing, it doesn't work. I've tried activating and deactivating chocks and covers and everything removable but nope, nothing works. Thank you so much in advance !

[@Chalyto01]

Ahhh yes ST Martin it’s where I Live ❤

[@oliverhelms2157]

About the blurry arrival airport. Have you enabled the "dynamic graphics settings"? If so, perhaps you could try to disable it.

[@cessna18284]

Im just curious. The amount of videos you add to youtube. When do you actually work and fly in real life:)

[@tubeslats]

Why was there no setting for thrust reversers in the EFB throttle calibration?

[@Avgeekzeus-i3j]

If you have the TCA airbus side stick and throttle quadrant you won’t need to bind anything

[@blueb0g]

Surely the landing texture streaming issues makes 2024 completely pointless to play? Absolutely immersion ruining.

[@gwalker3092]

Agree I can only land at airports where I have copied across to community or grass strips the data is too slow and too late it doesn’t matter what pc you have. Completely ruins the whole experience

Great video as always❤🙏. Have a question btw: how do you know which Emergency waypoint you have to enter in the mcdu?(like in this flight you put CDGX2)

Thank you very much! You'd get that information from the takeoff performance calculator.

[@omargueye453]

[@cyrildu972]

I don’t understand why your runway texture doesn’t load at the end of your flight…..Asobo or Microsoft should correct Thant ASAP

[@caviation888]

What is the purpose of turning on APU bleed before shutting off engines?

[@maroon9980]

So bleed air can continue to be provided by APU

[@bauk477]

In case of a tailpipe Fire during shutdown, you can blow it out with cranking the engine

[@pedjaracan4590]

Really poor design decision to rely on content streaming that much. After going through all the effort for the flight just to be greeted with 2002 graphics in the end. Totally ruins experience.

[@pizzam0zzarela]

I think streaming is actually good idea, but asobo's realization is as always. I have 200 mbit lan, but sim use about 2. Microsoft really need to do smth with their servers.

Hi Emi, have you ever tried the Beyond ATC? Would be really nice to get your opinion on it in its current state.

[@A330Driver]

[@NookaNifty]

@@A330Driver Yes, it has come a long way since then, 6 months.Traffic is not yet officially released, but it has been for quite some time already accessible via the "experimental" version you can select in the settings

[@burgadahz17]

For me, this simulator is love-hate. When it goes well it is a marvel, both in performance and immersion, it is super rewarding and satisfying, even more than msfs2020. But when it goes wrong I just want to uninstall the simulator and switch to msfs2020. The simulator has a lot of potential and that's more than obvious, but they need to fix this annoying and problematic instability. It directly ruins the experience completely.

[@joshuaspop8865]

It’s not a mistake, it’s the only way to do it, the entire game is massive. It would take a server to hold it locally.

[@burgadahz17]

​@@joshuaspop8865I agree, thanks to this you save a lot of space on your computer, and on top of that you gain a lot more FPS than in msfs2020. But one thing doesn't take away from the other, you can make everything via streaming to make it stable and comfortable, which this is not at all at the moment. I think I'm pretty sure they'll fix it, but we have to put up with the torment we have to endure right now, which I think is a shame.

[@Zazume_]

Me and many others had these same issues on the 2020 version already, now it's way more common. Using a VPN seems to help a lot, even though of course sucks that such a "fix" is even necessary.

[@zacherius137]

if you buy it via your XBOX account you get to choose the location (Xbox or PC) to download the content to so you don't have to fly online.

[@FTStratLP]

On my low end PC I had this issue with fully disappeared huge airports (e.g. Heathrow) also in MSFS 2020. It only shows that your system is too weak for handling your settings and/or lenghth of flight.

[@PaulMollw]

I barely can fly this 330. Almost every time I start to rolling, my airspeed is just dead.

[@A330Driver]

Did you not remove the pitot covers?

[@PaulMollw]

@ I did, sir. It’s the first thing I do. I mean, at least visually they are removed. Now that you bring that up, I’m going to check it on the EFB too. And the colors at night are weird for you too?

[@martgatz75]

They really have to fix the airports not loading until way after landing. It kills the immersion and even as a viewer it ruins the video.

[@A330Driver]

Absolutely, that's probably the worst bug of the entire simulator at the moment!

[@dera_ng]

Bonjour

[@petermuller5800]

What's the matter with scenery not loading on short final? I've seen that in so many videos, what's the reason for this? Is Asobo/Microsoft working on this issue? I'm still on MSFS 2020 and not planning to switch to 2024 till they fixed this. I don't wanna land in blurry Nirvana after an 8 hour flight.

[@gwalker3092]

I don't own every airport in the world 😂

[@A330Driver]

Paris actually is default! They did a good job improving those default airports!

[@gwalker3092]

@ as long as they load in time that seems to be the issue. Obviously if you have a downloaded airport it mitigates the streaming but not everything like vram stutter etc. At preset I only get a good landing if I fly to airports I’ve copied across which makes a mockery of the sim. Let’s hope they fix it for everybody and makes it more reliable

[@FlyingMaxFr]

At Air France, SOPs are to hand fly the aircraft up to FL100 at minimum!

[@joshuaspop8865]

For everyone complaining about 2024 running from the cloud, there is literally no other option, as the game is massive. You can’t have your cake and eat it too, if you want a better game, storage is the issue. Even a 8TB SSD wouldn’t even scratch the surface of what this game would need to store locally. Asobodidn’t do this because they want to have to deal with hundreds of thousands of people streaming at the same time, they did it this way because there’s no other option.

[@lordmashie]

No, that isn’t the issue. No one is asking for a permanent download option with the intention of saving the data of the entire planet. It’s not that massive if it’s only a select few areas you expect to be flying in. Heck the *_planes_* are streamed and they’re sure as hell not hundreds of gigabytes in size each.

[@joshuaspop8865]

@ there’s already a rolling cash that you can make as large as you want, for that. Furthermore, you can set terrain pre-cache to ultra if you have a decent PC and a fast internet connection Since doing that, I haven’t seen one texture loading, as the pre-cache loads it all ahead of time. Other than some missing buildings at airports, this thing is running great for me.

[@darewell7776]

There is another option actually, it’s called MSFS 2020, where there is a good balance between the Bing scenery being streamed, while important part of the sceneries are stored locally. Of course using third party sceneries, stored locally, as we used to do in MSFS 2020 won’t be an issue. But if you don’t have any third party airports it’s a total nonsense to stream an airport. You didn’t need a « server » for them in MSFS, as well as at least default backup terrain data in case of streaming issues. MSFS 2024 is a regression compared to MSFS 2020, why would you want to deal with blurry sceneries while it’s not an issue with MSFS 2020? What the point of better visuals if they are blurry? Personally I won’t move from MSFS 2020 for some time till the « beta » phase is done, and of course all important addons are fully compatible.

[@joshuaspop8865]

@@darewell7776 comparing the scenery from 2020 to 2024 is silly. If you have an experienced it yet, then that explains why you are comparing. Again, they have no choice, but to stream all of this massive scenery and other stuff.
