X-Plane developer ToLiss has posted a message on social media and the X-Plane.org forum to let customers know their A330-900neo can be now updated to version 1.0.3. This marks the third update in a series of updates following the aircrafts release, which was three weeks ago on the 19th of October.
The new 1.0.3 update is a smaller update that was released no less than 24 hours after the bigger 1.0.2 update. According to the developer, this makes version 1.0.2 the shortest lived version to date. The reason for the quick 1.0.3 update is to fix some newly introduced bugs. Together, these updates provide the aircraft with some new features such as a JAR ground handling set and a Satcom model (activated through the livery). It also contains visual enhancements to the landing gear model, giving it more details like hydraulic lines and decals.
As wing flex can be a hot topic among flight simmers, ToLiss provides their fleet with an slider in the aircraft configuration, allowing you to control the wing flex intensity. In this update, the wing flex intensity was further increased. Altogether these updates contains a number of bug fixes and changes to the aircrafts systems. The A330-900neo can be updated using the SkunCrafts update tool or by downloading a fresh copy from the store.
