Topic: Cockpit Shots at ASN X-Plane

Dear testers (no, better to say dear fellow testers),

In consult with Eugeny and Slava, I'm pleased although you've seen enough of those 3D looks, that ASN X-Plane offers for the community a fresh set of WIP cockpit screenshots of the A330-243.

Curious?
Check it out at http://asn-xp.aerosoft.com/?page_id=12528

Re: Cockpit Shots at ASN X-Plane

Who cares...we have the A330 live!!! big_smile

Haha oke, that sounded rude an mean, was a joke. To be honest, I am happy for them since I was following the A330 forum on X-Plane.org every day (!). And now I am in alpha testing, I do hardly check that forum and now check this alpha testing  forum each day.

I really love it to do since I can see now the progress and I am able to give my opinion, suggestions etc. Furthermore, I love it to do since it's a great and learning way to apply my knowledge an increase knowledge.

So, gorgeous to see those new screenshots and sooo many thanks to JARDesign for their invitation that I may participate alpha testing. I appreciate that and it feels like an honor.

Gr,
Steven

Fully agree with you Steven!

Re: Cockpit Shots at ASN X-Plane

I feel honored too, but also anxious to learn about the follow up. What is the plan to really obtain a release candidate for this fine piece of aircraft? What bugs, gremlins are ironed out first? What functionality is built next? Are we shooting for the stars? Does the A330 get the same status as the A320Neo? I always felt sorry for the A320 not being finished. It's promising but still flawed. It's a beauty that needs work ...

In my opinion, a good strategy for JARDesign will be to recruit new and experienced testers with a good feel for Airbus for in the very last phase of the alpha phase and/or beta phase. The best to get is to recruite some real life A330/A340 pilots and asking them to perform some flight like they should do when performing a real-life flight.

I hope not. Why? Since the A330 has to be the next milestone and not a copy of the A320 with the same bugs. That's why I hope JARDesign will pick up the current A320 bugs seriously and solve them in the A330. Furthermore, I hope JARDesign will design the Fly-by-Wire very very precise or close a deal with QPAC that JARDesign only 'buys' QPAC it's Fly-by-Wire system. And why do I hope that? I read posts on X-Plane forum of JARDesign A320 users being very very happy with their A320, they find it very beautiful, they love it but except on one item: their flying characteristics (nodding, fly-by-wire, weird autopilot behaviour e.g.). And for most people it's a reason to stay away from JARDesign their A320's.

I find it sad to read those kind of reactions, but I understand it. That's why I hope JARDesign will invest in the flying characteristics very very seriously OR even do some business with QPAC to close a deal to 'buy' their great Fly-by-Wire system. But... that's not my business! That's up to JARDesign! I only want to be fair and I want that JARDesign will reach their next milestone. Not just an A330 that looks like their current A320 but with a different shape. No, a whole new A330 with better results and solved bugs from A320 smile

Re: Cockpit Shots at ASN X-Plane

I was one of the first customers to buy the A320Neo. It was far from being a real RC, but I stuck with it and gave feedback on the corresponding X-Plane forum.

We're in release 2.3 r4 of the Neo but it's far from being stable and correct. So, please do not repeat history when it concerns this A330. Please devs, make a plan to get a reliable and comprehensive simulation of the A330, preferably the A330-300. I can test fly it as I also do for the SSG 747-8, but I only have a limited real life grading for a Boeing 737-800. So reel in some pro's.

Re: Cockpit Shots at ASN X-Plane

I am 100% understand you. But another side - There is no magic. It's just a job. A lot of coding, many 3D, a lot of texturing, etc. In the end - it's just eat a time. Not enough time. Why? Because the simulator is only a limited amount of time. I have a very difficult job at the airport. I need it that would make money. I more interested in doing sim addons instead of a airport design job, but then I'll be short of money. So - simulator is still a hobby and a compromise between what I want to do, and the fact remains that at the time. But, sure, i am happy with my x-plane experience.

So what am I writing this? I do not know .. I'm just tired of coding today and wanted a little distracted. We continue to work on the A320 - a very beautiful photo textures makes by Andrew (Dron), but now I want to do 330, in the code which is laid much greater potential for development.

Re: Cockpit Shots at ASN X-Plane

If I read it right JAR, then I conclude one thing: it's your passion being bussy with simulator add-ons.

Then I have one tip for you: don't every rush this and the coming add-ons and take the time to enjoy it since enjoy gives the power and strength to contribute your passion which results to marvelous results. smile
