LatinVFR, known for their other Airbus products in Microsoft Flight Simulator, has released their A330-200 for the sim. Released exclusively (at the moment) on the in-sim Marketplace, the aircraft will give those wanting to replicate day-to-day flights with the wide-bodied Airbus aircraft.
The aircraft comes with customised systems designed for the A330-200 and basic cockpit functionality. There is fuel dumping capabilities, VNAV implementation, a full cabin interior, realistic sounds, and cabin announcements. There is also simulation of the auto transfer of the Trim tank, based on the aircraft’s CG. If you’re familiar with other Airbus aircraft from LatinVFR, you will get a good idea of what is included with this plane.
The aircraft product comes with all 3 engine variants in a single package, along with 40 liveries across each type. There is also an EFB, Naivgraph charts implementation and also Navigraph OANS (On-board Airport Navigation System).
You can get the LatinVFR A330-200 from the in-sim Marketplace on PC and Xbox for $24.99 (USD). It will get a free update to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 in the future.
Editor’s Note: I asked Ricardo at LatinVFR and he had no idea on the Aerosoft A330 releasing today. So put those tin-foil hats away. Just a little nugget for y’all.
