And the fact you can buy the PMDG 737-600 for pretty much the exact same price of this aircraft is shocking. 😂

[@ScepticGinger89]

Man I wish devs would follow one simple rule: if your payware addon doesn't even reach the fidelity of the free FBW A320N, don't bother making it.

[@bluewonder2007]

man, the point thing is they dont care and they dont want to spend much time to do it correctly, as long as there are some guys who buy the plane (and really there are!) so they won.... just like CaptainSim did

[@ScorcherAv]

[@Izmael1310]

Game.. consoles... huge xbox community who dont know any better. This aircraft is rated by console players like 4/5 stars.

[@oliverek7]

@@ScorcherAv??? Sims are classed as games, I hate this argument. Anyway what are you talking about? PMDG, Fenix and FBW etc exist for serious simmers so there are many devs who care actually

[@OSUfan757]

This is why I can't wait for the Bluebird/Just Flight 757 to come out. Not only is it my all time favorite aircraft, but they've retracted the release date 3 times and now there's no official release date so they don't have to worry about releasing an incomplete aircraft. I've helped them with some things and they're previewed the incomplete aircraft at the FSExpo and it's right on par with the FBW A320, however, they're still not happy with it so they're continuing to work on it.

[@TJ.Turner]

​@@airrdI dont think that is a fair statement. LVFR has always been upfront about the expectation of thier products. They always include a large collection of liveries, instead of making you buy numerous packs of 4-5 liveries for 5 bucks each. And also they actively support thier products with improvements at least once a month. On thier forums they are also good a replying to feedback and giving support to thier customers. LVFR is not comparible with Captain Sim.

[@AiirportBoy]

I was sitting on the fence about getting the LVFR A340 since it released because I really want to replicate the South African Airways A340 flight between Perth and Joburg. After seeing this video, I'm no longer sold on LatinVFR at all. Let's hope that, at a minimum, LVFR can fix these issues and make this a better aircraft to fly. If not, fingers crossed that someone else will develop a workable A340 in the future.

[@valet2972]

I wish Toliss would bring the A340 600 to Msfs

[@ABeech-zv5ri]

What a joke of a developer. They argue with people saying it’s not fair to expect a study level sim but like you said, they don’t seem to understand entry level does not equal doesn’t work/hastily released. Right up there with CraptinSim in the hall of shame.

[@CellBlok69wLamp]

[@ea-tt]

I mean, they can try to sell anything they want, but they price it wrong, this should cost 5 bucks max

[@TeamOdiffat]

@@AntoniosSpiliotopoulos Yeah and if i remmember LVFR was the ones who shut down horizon for making improvments on any of their aircraft only becuse they apparenly had worked so hard on the a330neo getting the systems good. Now we have a a330 wich is honestly not good and a a340 that is even worse. If i was lvfr i would have tried to company up with horizon so they make the systems for lvfr.

[@darkkcoffee]

I wish that more developers were incentivized to make aircraft that already have an arcade-plane counterpart. Sadly as sales go, these make much more money, and come to market first, often making devs choose not to go down the route of developing a higher fidelity model. Marketplace should make sure it's at least functional from A to B, or however it advertises itself.

[@SN57ONE]

This is coming from a guy who blames console players for the delay of SU15.

[@airrd]

@@SN57ONEthat's true

[@TheDiceman56]

I like your comment of 'It looks good'. A Lamborghini looks good without an engine.....until you open the bonnet (hood). I think devs treat us like fools when this stuff gets past testing. Probably doesn't get tested as it costs money. They don't care that they are selling faulty goods, or they would not do it. Thank you for your video, even though it was cut short.....for good reason.

[@walidalsalkhadi401]

In fact, I want to thank you for your honesty and sincerity in providing the content that you provide

[@mekowgli]

Regarding quality assurance I think they only do semi-automated tests to check if the add-on is compliant with marketplace policies, doesn't crash the sim, use unsupported features, have excessive network traffic etc. It doesn't really matter if the airplane is modelled correctly. That would often mean spending hours or days on it, which is something they obviously don't want to do.

[@justindillon7221]

Not sure if any one has discovered this yet, but to taxi LVFR planes you have to apply forward pressure to the yolk

[@adennis200]

This rubbish is "payware". I mean if it was freeware, I would still criticize it, cause obviously there is a lot of freeware with much higher quality, but at least I would keep the critics moderate. But they dare charging money for this....

So do I. But I'm sure you want a polished and as-bugfree-as-can-be release and not an early one giving you only frustration, right? I promise they won't hold a finished plane back, once it's ready for release it will be released ;-)

[@GeekFreak-vv1vb]

I had a dream about it releasing the other day lol!!!😂😂

[@Insiderio-kj7eg]

In my opinion, allowing a plane to be sold under these conditions is the greatest proof that MSFS is moving from being a simulator to becoming a common game.

[@mdhazeldine]

crap addons have existed flight simming was invented. Microsoft has always had a very hands-off approach to 3rd party addons. Probably because there's so many of them, they can't quality control everything, although I do think there ought to be a minimum standard for airliners on the marketplace to avoid things like this happening.

[@finn_ypjt]

I'm surprised you continued using Airbus operational philosophy and SOP throughout the whole 'flight'. I commend you on enduring that mate

[@WezH748]

It’s such a shame - I really wanted that aircraft to fly well when I bought it, and I even reinstalled it when I saw there was an update (I love the A340 in real life!). However, much like your experience, every flight that I’ve taken with it has had some really annoying bugs that made me end the flight early. I usually end up hopping back into the inibuilds A300/A320 or PMDG 738 instead. I think I’ll be giving it a break for a while 😂 Great video as always man, appreciate what you do!

[@DXNOZecca]

I flown it. It’s not as bad as this guy makes it out to be. The A340-300 is not a rocket. It has a very slow climb. But I guess this guy expected it to be an A320

[@DeltaAirtran]

I've always felt like Latin VFR's "quick release" in products just gives away that it will be basic and lacking in systems/quality. Especially after the A320/21 series using default systems, it's not worth the $30+ and you'll know what to expect; comparable to Captain Sim! I understand not everybody desires to have in-depth systems knowledge for the aircraft they're flying in the sim, but just take the time to work and perfect the product so those who would like to use it on Vatsim, for example, have that capability.

[@smakfu1375]

If you’re going to charge money for an Airbus aircraft, your benchmark is Fenix and your minimum viable is FBW. Nothing in this A340 is working; basic systems cannot be this broken. It doesn’t matter if you’re using the autopilot or hand flying, the FMS / flight director cannot be non-functional for any sense of realism. That you can’t even do a packs of TO is just silly. Hell, even iniBuilds buggy A320neoV2 is vastly superior to this paid A340. There’s no QA in the marketplace, IMHO.

[@AviationSol]

Maybe Latinvfr should now move to making static aircraft for airport immersion?

[@CyclicPilot]

Man, this takes me back to flying FSX default aircraft, except they would level off. At least the LNAV works!

[@bennett_walters221]

You should do the same flight again in the tollis a340 for xp12... just to see the difference! LVFR is laughable...

[@Topcat1952]

Thanks so much for making this and enduring the failures so we can see how well (or not so well) it works. I have been waiting for years for the A340 to be developed for MSFS and was elated when one finally appeared. I bought it, but have yet to fly it. So now, I am very disappointed. I can only hope LFVR either gets their act together, or perhaps, FBW, Fenix, IniBuilds, Aerosoft, or even Asobo/MS will put one out there that works as it should. I can't help thinking that even if Horizon could have gotten hold of this, it may have been better. Anyhow, thanks again!

[@TazerXI]

If it is fundamentally broken, then the price is an outright scam. But also the defence of "it is for beginners" imo fails on one main reason. They have Navigraph support. What flight simmer who doesn't know about airways, or not do basic overhead flows, etc. would have a Navigraph subscription? Why can I sync my simbrief flight plan, when I can't even enter it properly?

[@AntoniosSpiliotopoulos]

I don't get how they think man. Navigraph support but no qnh on the standby altimeter? Interesting priorities indeed.

I would argue that the LVFR A340 is useable IF you just need to get from point A to point B and are willing to sacrifice some realism. If you go in with that expectation, it works just fine.

[@MAXimaler_MUC-gt4we]

Hello A330driver, Even though there are plenty of alternatives with various new aircraft like the 777 from PMDG or the MD11 from TFDI, I must honestly say that I cannot confirm your errors! At FL100, it levels off nicely and accelerates, and it hasn't overshot any altitudes for me either... O.o Today (July 1st), I updated the A343 and cannot confirm the errors. However, we don't need to discuss the significant difference compared to the aforementioned aircraft... but it is flyable for me. Regards, Max

Fast forward a few months and I basically only fly airbus. Basically, it get's fun when you can fly it properly. In the beginning it's too easy, but once you learn how they do it in real life you always have something to do.

[@tvfd-thevirtualflightdispa978]

WOW!! Is it possible that the update is WORSE than the original airplane? I did not buy this airplane because the initial reviews were that it looked great but flew like crap. This video demonstrates two things: First, the quality of this plane is awful and based on what I see, they can’t make it better. Second, this is a brand killer. How can Latin VFR have any credibility if this is the kind of airplane they make? Thanks for making this video. Really. You have done a great service to the community, for demonstrating that this is an airplane we should not purchase.

[@Izmael1310]

I've recently purchased some LVFR scenery and although is it not the game stuff like aircraft, their airports are right on the edge between good airport and really bad airport. They use mix of normal high and low level textures even if very visible places. Some airports have terrain glitches, some airport concourses connected to terminal are connected in a way that is is exactly in the middle of the window and lower texture like from 2000 games is used for the concourse outside. Honestly I dont have high opinion of their quality with scenery and when this developer attitude goes into the aircraft creation it is a recipe for a problem. If they cant do airport right and update it later down the road they simply cant produce good aircraft, especialyl not for 30 or 35 €. This aircraft should cost like 15-20€ max.

Since I'm on Xbox, Captain Sim, until the introduction of WASM suppoty, was the only other option to fly something adequate other than default airliners. Since Xbox had the capability of handling high fidelity aircraft, there should be absolutely no reason why any aircraft with Navigraph integration should not have fully functional autopilot and avionics. Having 100% of the buttons being functional is one thing, but to not even have operational VNAV? Everyone who purchased this should get their money back.

Hi Emanuel, we are sorry for your experience again with our A340. We identified the problem and its due to being a short flight and DES mode activating, its a default ASOBO A320neo bug that we still have on all our airbus and with the avionics update we are working this will be fixed. On longer flights what you experienced doesn't happen. It seems Descend mode activated even before you took off which is a horrible bug and this is the outcome. Our apologies for that.
