Aerosoft A330 professional Ready for Take-Off

Aerosoft A330 Professional for Prepar3D

Aerosoft has announced the A330 professional is now available for Prepar3D version 4.5 and above.

Aerosoft A33o Virgin Atlantic Graphic

The A330 is the bigger brother of the A320 series, designed for long-distance (or short-haul large capacity) flights. It is a logical follow-up of the A320 series but with many systems redone to a higher level of detail with state-of-the-art modelling and textures.

Features:

  • Simulation of the A330 focused on the day to day operation from the left seat
  • Full rain and rain repellent effects using TrueGlass from TFDi Design
  • Dozens of non-standard animations with sound effects (sunscreens, windows, tables, tiller, jump seat, standby compass, drooping flight surfaces etc). All main doors and cargo hatches can be opened.
  • Extensive options to show ground objects (cones, ground power and ground power)
  • Web server that allows access the MCDU via any web browser; ideal for tablet computers
  • Electronic Flight Bag that gives access to flows, checklists, flight plans, documents and charts
  • Extensive manuals
  • Add-in View system: adds many pre-defined views for easy use, emulates 2D panel views
  • Add-in Sound system: adds hundreds of background sounds to enhance the immersion
  • Co-pilot that runs checklists and flows
  • Connected Flight Deck v2 that uses a server-based system making it very easy to join other pilots and to fly as Co-Pilot or Observer
  • PBR (Physically Based Rendering) for all textures
