Aerosoft and ToLiss have released version 1.0.3 for the A340-600 Pro, making the aircraft fully native to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024’s SimObject structure as well as introducing a range of new features, performance enhancements, and compatibility improvements for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024.
The new update features a brand-new custom turbulence model, with the turbulence intensity adjusted directly through the EFB. The update also sees the return of the Taxicam feature, which has been reworked and restored following compatibility issues introduced by Sim Update 5 in MSFS24.
Performance has also been reworked with the addition of Level of Detail (LOD) models, while navigation display route drawing has been optimised to improve frame rates. You can now choose your preferred display refresh rate to balance performance and visual smoothness.
The EFB has also been updated with the addition of pinned charts and airport quick-access features for Navigraph users. SimBrief integration has also been expanded with a new option that prevents automatic population of the INIT B page during flight plan imports. Support for SayIntentions CPDLC has also been included.
Several bug fixes have also been addressed, including issues ranging from MAN FLEX behaviour following engine failures during FLEX takeoffs to FCU button freezes after replay sessions. The update also improves ACARS reliability, resolves delays when downloading Navigraph Charts data, and automatically clears the “F-PLN DATALINK IN PROG” message once datalink transfers are completed.
For hardware cockpit users, Aerosoft has also implemented compatibility improvements for the Winctrl FCU and MCDU hardware, along with additional code for FSCopilot integration. Replay functionality has been refined as well, with certain input events now suppressed during replay to better preserve aircraft state once normal operations resume.
You can download the new update now through Aerosoft ONE or Contrail.
