In this video we carry out a comprehensive review of the new Aerosoft A330 CEO "Base Pack", for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
We recreate a real-world American Airlines service, taking the aircraft from Charlotte Douglas Intl (KCLT), over to Philadelphia (KPHL). The Aerosoft A330 has already received quite a lot of criticism so, let's find out whether or not it's deserved. . .

I don't enjoy having to review any addon negatively, especially knowing that such criticism can potentially affect people's livelihoods etc. That being said, it’s clear that the A330 wasn’t really ready for release; at the very least, the aircraft should have been marketed as an "early access" product. Ultimately, given that the addon was developed by one of the hobby's most established developers, I don't think that such standards are acceptable / fair to the customer. If all of the A330's issues are addressed in due course, I would be more than happy to revisit the aircraft and revise my opinions accordingly. I hope / believe that my critique was both accurate and fair. All the best, guys!

[@nakedcellist]

So, I'm guessing you will not be reviewing the AH Boeing 707? Love your reviews, they are the best.

That 27 second long camera shot of the cabin while the real life cabin announcement played was absolutely savage

[@brandonchappell1535]

Clearly tryna get it out before 2024 default releases. Great review as always

[@user-cp9dc7yu8t]

13:15 - That view of the dungeon made a bit of wee come out!

[@nabilelhamdaoui7209]

Nah that cabin shot is something straight out of my nightmares

[@IncorrigibleBigotry]

How do you even as a company release a product in that state? I just don't get it. Haven't they got someone at Aerosoft that have SOME form of professional pride in their craft? It absolutely baffles me.

[@masso392]

@@IncorrigibleBigotry Money and possibly some pressure from higher ups to get it out before 2024

[@stevoone342]

In short Arosoft did this to them selves and rightly deserved to be grilled especially for a plane that’s been in development in a big development house for 3yrs this release is shocking. The auto pilot and engine control seems to be one of the big arrears of failure especially compared to other options it’s not end close to even the free wear in my opinion. As I’ve Sead before F- for Arosoft Not acceptable.

[@theflyinggasmask]

Amazing, 4 years of development and loads of German government money for a half-baked P3D port... What a disgrace to the community.

[@Itamem0no]

I wish it was a P3d port. Atleast then we'd have hold

[@theflyinggasmask]

[@Nuclear__HS]

Oh man... Always always always look forward to your reviews, but I'll be honest, I half expected Aerosoft not to provide you a copy to review given your history of fair, unbiased, and thorough reviews. I'm sure this video will be no different. Many thanks for your continued work on these aircraft reviews!

[@_Agent_86]

Took that sweet government money, left a QA in office, outsourced development offshore, then went out for beers for 3 years. ( I assume)

[@EthanolEnthusiast]

110%

[@jaysmith4302]

The review was up to your usual standards and is appreciated. I look forward to all of them. Right now my personal opinion is that the Headwind Simulations A-330 is perfectly adequate and the price is right. We actually have a very good selection of fine freeware airliners: A-310, A-320, A-330, B747 and, especially, the B-787. It's hard for me to get excited about every new jet airliner that comes along with the exception of the Fokker and the PMDG 777. I just don't have the time or hard drive space to take them all to the dance.

[@bubbavonbraun]

Thank you for the honest review of the "product". Its sad when promises are not delivered on and something is shoved out the door. After a rocky road with the CRJ and AerosoftOne sadly I am anyone but Aerosoft flyer now. Keep up the great reviews you content and approach is terrific.

[@Ehawk_]

My question is what have they been doing for the past 3 years. This is like what I would expect to see a year and a half ago. Odd

[@Noav.1]

LVFR made one aswell

[@superskullmaster]

Not even worth Simplaza.

[@jostmathe]

😂😂😂

[@abhishekw2444]

This aerosoft team has never modified the autopilot of the CRJ series aircraft, the autopilot loses control midway. So I am not surprised about this module.

[@graeabarth2227]

Disappointing. Will you be trialling the latest LVFR A330-200? They may not have the systems depth but I find their other products satisfying to fly. Thank you for a very thorough review 👍

[@adrianosalomon1447]

Hi Great video as always! Are your visuals post processed in the videos or do you use any in game filters etc ?

[@spenjak18]

To be fair, considering how mid the Twin Otter apparently was... I wasn't surprised.

[@FalconX88]

How did it happen? MS announced there will be a 330 in the base version of MSFS2024 and Aerosoft already invested a lot so they pushed out an unfinished product to get some money back. That's it.

[@robotusch]

Sadly it appears to be nothing more than a desperate cash grab, due to the realisation that the A330 included with MSFS24 will most likely be the one developed by inibuilds, and therefor something at least on par with a fully developed product of their own. A shame really, as I enjoyed their A330 for P3D, but something this basic is simply unacceptable.

[@JustIsaac134]

When you review the LVFR A330-200 Can you fly the Airfrance GE livery?

[@andreaskallien1251]

I am a german flightsimmer since the first days of microsoft flightsim. Since then I mostly regretted having bought addons with aerosoft.

[@paulkirkland3263]

What ever has become of Aerosoft ? I loved their aircraft in FSX and P3D, but the Twin Otter in MSFS2020 was disappointing, and now this A330 seems to have so many problems. I really liked the company, their forums used to be very enjoyable with screenshot contests and download give-aways, but it all seems to have gone down hill in the last two or three years. I hope their fortunes revive - dusting off their Catalina for MSFS2024 would be a big step in the right direction.

[@EthanolEnthusiast]

Greed, probably.

[@donaldholman9070]

It’s a lot of money to pay for a plane/model so poorly done. I find it amazing that they think it is acceptable to offer a product of such poor quality. Great review..thank you

[@rollonsummertime]

Excellent video,thank you👍👍

[@exiletsj2570]

Much smaller teams, with much less funding, do much better. Good job FS labs and inibuilds are doing A330 for 2024. I’m guessing fenix will also do one at some point.

[@jasonkey7649]

Still going to fly it, because it's still the best looking a330 on the market, no kidding. Fenix is in my opinion the only one who can top this

who cares lmao. get yourself a hobby or something

[@scubastevewa8580]

A real shame, this aircraft was decent enough back in P3D. Sad to see Aerosoft being such a shell of it's former self, this is obviously a desperate money grab attempt before the free inibuilds A330 in MS24 makes this product irrelevant. Appreciate the review.

[@lalajohnanagnostis]

Watch better? Lvfr 330 200 or this aerosoft?

Pretty disappointed by the long wait for half baked product.I will surely buy this once they update with all features enabled,specially a modelled cabin.

don‘t buy it!!!

[@photoeducationbydaniel]

But come on guys its a cheap $24 addon.

[@PluckyUnderdog]

They released this now because they know that once the Inibuilds/Microsoft one is released with MSFS24, their chance at making any reasonable amount of sales would tank. So they've disingenuously released this now. I think they're a terrible developer tbh. Their aircraft are universally rubbish. Their airports are generally developed by far more competent and talented devs and published by them. Which is why they're good, as they don't have a hand in the development. This is absolute garbage and they should be ashamed of it.

[@davidh7280]

It's beta! So finish it before purchasers to to pay to be beta tester's. Bloody shameful!
