Blue looks good on the A330

The first time I flew it the autothrottle seemed a little difficult to get to grips with. Has it been fixed?
It didn’t give the “move thrust to climb” prompt after takeoff, didn’t give an error when I setup for a flex takeoff and then accidentally hit TOGA and worst of all attempted the ILS landing at 200kts even though the MCDU correctly had the approach speed set at 140kts.

Yeah the athr is lacking. It's doesn't prompt for climb thrust you just have to manually set it, same deal with approach. It's flyable as is but not fully accurate. Hoping it gets modded but so far haven't seen anyone working on it, although to be fair I haven't looked that has either.

I can imagine people are waiting for for that MCDU to come out of beta branch before they mod the plane; things are subject to change atm

Yeah that would make sense actually. Would suck to mod it before it's stable and get stuck on an old branch.

Yep, I do remember reading something on the forums a while back where some people were planning on coordinating the development of an improvement mod, but I can't find the link atm. In any case I imagine people will develop something for the 330 quickly, it's such a nice aircraft

all of the colors in this shot look good, my god 👏🏾

Damn this shot looks real! Ground textures look awesome too. How is this Laminar A330 now? I know there’s been a lot of updates with the MCDU, etc.

It's decent but still has some weird bugs are quirks. It'll get you from A to B but it doesn't have all the Airbus functionally and is a little rough around the edges when it comes to the AP functionally.

Same with the Aerolineas Argentinas livery.

Laminar A330?
yep
Is changing the engines to the GE one easy to do? I'm quite intimidated by it
Yeah it's not too bad. I wrote up some instructions a while back. https://www.reddit.com/r/Xplane/comments/xf765k/how_to_install_the_ge_cf6_and_pw4000_engines_on
Thanks! Might try it some time
