Point being? Try having some patience, and maybe they will take time out of their lives and development for this aircraft, and show us some screenshots. You people are horribly impatient.

Since we're going way too long off-topic, it will be unlocked with the next update.

After a long break and a lot of PC problems, we have managed to move forward with the VC a bit.
Some improved modeling on little details, an actual overhead (most of it) and AP texture and the assorted lightmaps are in place.

I'm a bit surprised now

But the night lighting color is wrong, Airbus uses a light yellow light

Amazing!

Do you mean the overall light or the lights on the overhead panel?

I think he means the overhead panel. Like in this picture.

Good job tough and thank you very much for the update!

Ahhh! Nice work on those...I love the realism

I have to say this--the cockpit looks brilliant! Best office you could possibly ask for

. Except maybe one on the ISS...but that's a whole different thing

Looks really great. Nice work there Alexis.

airbuspilot · Post by **airbuspilot** » 30 Dec 2012, 16:59

Nice too se new update..Any plan to only with wing view model or all one have a virtual cockpit and cabin(next step)

ReneM. · Post by **ReneM.** » 30 Dec 2012, 19:57

WOW

. This looks so amazing. Good work Alexis

*Edit: You should really include that like-button

Handle · Post by **Handle** » 02 Jan 2013, 00:10

I think they wanted a preview of the yellow lighting. So I fixed up the photo a bit. Here you are peoples.

Post by **esg** » 02 Jan 2013, 00:25

Not nearly enough jpeg artefacts.

Airbus Fan · Post by **Airbus Fan** » 02 Jan 2013, 08:34

The first one is better.

What do you mean? There would be more systems simulated? (I've not flown the A380, so I have no reference other than the default vasFMC A32x panels).

Hi, I love those LCD displays! However I will once merge the old PSS A330 VC into it...

Don't quite get it, you can only merge the gauges for fs2004 but not the entire VC right? So I guess the LCD will still be there, which I think is lovely

Post by **Alexis** » 05 Jan 2013, 17:54

Yep, only the gauges can be merged. The model isn't -legally- changeable.

eddm · Post by **eddm** » 05 Jan 2013, 21:57

Yes, I meant the gauges. I will use the 2D panel mainly. The vasfmc gauges implementation is also nice, but the pss ones are better, because the whole panel has a certain system depth. I bought the old PSS A330/340 box a long time ago (it was the early times of FS9) hmm, I'm gettin old...

-I can't wait to replace my old Posky A330/340 with the great PA buses!

A321flyer · Post by **A321flyer** » 05 Jan 2013, 22:36

Any other preview pics? Can we at least get one preview pic of the A330-200?

Is that a stock image or is that the actual PA model in another background? Come on I'm not asking for much, just one real preview pic.

Sorry dude...I was just messing around

. I would if I knew I had permission, but I do not, so it's up to esg, Alexis, or some other higher-up to do it.

Post by **Nixpilot** » 06 Jan 2013, 05:24

i think the preview will come when they think it's an important update. I've shown you A330-300 already

Oh man......what a great pic of the cockpit....fantastic.

I'm excited to fly this plane in the FS 9

Dylematic's right. Topic locked until the next update.

Hi everyone,

Here are some further updates with the A330 engines and pylons. I have spent a lot of time on these textures for the engines and pylons and I am confident to say these engines are extremely well-modelled by Nick, and they are probably the best available on any A330 models today (if you don't believe me compare the shots below with photos)

Those of you who know your A330s well would note that these are the textures for the newer pylons - the engine pylons on earlier a330 builds were mostly grey. This is still being worked on for the GE and PW versions.

Before anyone asks - the screenshots below are only to showcase the engines - the wings, flap track canoes, fuselage textures, wing to body fairing textures are all still being worked on.
