Hello everyone, It’s really great to see FSLabs making a comeback with the A321, and soon the NEO version as well. I truly hope it will be an excellent aircraft. But I’m here to ask about the A330-300 for MSFS2020. Every day, I check here hoping to find news about the A330, but so far I haven’t seen any definite confirmation that you’re working on it. The aircraft is truly underrepresented in MSFS2020, and the versions available from other developers, even those on 24, don’t really meet expectations. We’re looking forward to an A330 at FSLabs quality. I truly hope FSLabs takes into consideration all the simmers who have been eagerly waiting and asking about the A330. There have been many comments and questions, and it would really mean a lot to the community to receive a clear and honest response regarding whether the A330 is part of your plans or not. We’re genuinely looking forward to it, and thank you for your continued hard work.

Its further along than it was yesterday!

The plan at the moment is to put one under each wing but we are open to suggestions. Whilst we decide, here is one with the "No Engine Option"

That’s a terrible suggestion, you have no idea how long it’s been in development, to suggest they waste whatever resources they’ve spent on it is frankly ridiculous.

No news is good news, as they say...still, I was hoping for some update regarding Concorde in MSFS. I'll keep waiting and hoping but my fingers are getting tired from being crossed for so long. Took me ages to type this post :D

Nike should abandon making trainers because Adidas already make them. Microsoft should abandon Xbox because Sony already make consoles. Do you see the fallacy of that statement? Competition drives progress. It's a good thing that FSL are making an A321 Neo to their standards. It's good for the competition too because it provides a benchmark for their own work.

There is a pattern of vaporware with these projects, and FSLabs does not issue any updates other than “work is ongoing and when we have something to share, we’ll share it”. I personally find the strategy of announcing such projects followed by years of radio silence on any meaningful progress updates a bit disrespectful to customers. We are all here because at the end of the day, we support FSLabs, their work and want them to do well, and underlining it all, we are all very passionate about aviation. This business of announcing/teasing a project followed by long duration radio silence leaves one to believe the project is either not going well, or that FSLabs is insensitive to the customer regard/passionate interest at play. Not to get too into psychology, but a dev that provides even modest updates is able to develop a rapport with their customer base such that years of delays are broadly tolerated by customers with understanding and support, and most importantly, calibrated expectations that it’s going to be a while. To answer your overall question, I believe the A330 is coming to MSFS, although I have zero SA on whether it’s months or years away.

Hi Stephen, You are right - its not something I can say however a number of testers are happily using it currently in both sims.

Well well you will see and learn that asking all the times won´t speed up things. FS Labs will take all the time they need to deliver a fs labs product we deserve... better stop asking all the time, norman has to focus on the product.... You will learn one thing here... that is "to be patient"...

Think of the economics of what you're proposing - where the hell does the income come from if they scrap the work they're doing on the two NEO aircraft and start from scratch with the A330? How long can they keep everyone employed with no products to sell?

Scotty, we need more power

The competition being 'damn good' is not a reason to stop competing. You don't stop running because a competitor is ahead of you. You work to catch them up.

I did notice that a beta tester was flying the NEO on Vatsim last week . Hopefully won't be too long now .

IMO they should scrap the Neo now that Fenix is doing theirs and just focus on the A330

An FSLabs A330... that would be DEFINITIVE! I can only imagine flying an FSLabs A330-300 Rolls Royce, haha... daydream!

Hello everyone, We are pleased to have now pushed our v293 update to our experimental channel within the FSL Control Center this afternoon for our FlightSimLabs A321ceo product line. This update reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing the simulation experience by introducing new features and resolving a wide range of issues that have been reported by our dedicated community. Key Highlights in this update include a fix for some memory issues when the Weather Radar is active, a new way to set up Thrust Lever detents via our MCDU OPTIONS page making it much easier to configure by moving the lever to the appropriate position and a single-click on the appropriate gate (new documentation section included) and several other fixes for issues observed by our community.

Question, will they make the entire fleet of the NEO family?

What engine options will the Neo come with?

Hi Carsten, The NEO follows the same model - it will be for both sims.

Plus I am one very small part of the project. There are many talented people in the team.

You will know when it is out.

So if I were the Easter Bunny, I would of course release this today.

The installer is the Control Centre - the product isn't in your account yet for it to show there however... Hence Norman's comment about you already having the installer.

The recent Navigraph survey would seem to indicate otherwise ...

The A330 was announced in 2022! And had allegedly already been worked on for some time.... I'd like to think that by now, they'd hardly be starting "from scratch" on it...what are you talking about???

My bad, of course I meant Fenix.

FSL has currently one way to get out of this rut - beat FBW to market on the neo.

Sunk cost fallacy

If you have a look at Norman’s post above, on the left side you can see what aircraft he has access to, looks like he’s keeping the NEO all to himself.

Is the A320neo in development?

You can buy it. We wont be refunding the cost though

Hello, I would like to know if FSLabs is currently working on updating the A321 for FS2024. Initially, they had promised to adapt this aircraft after the launch of FS2024. Since the A321 is currently only compatible with FS2020 and Asobo has made the FS2024 SDK available to developers, could you confirm if the FSLabs team is making progress on this update? Thank you in advance for your feedback regarding the A321 on FS2024.

The rumours are news will come the day after Hell freezes over!

In Loving Memory of Michael Ackermann It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of our esteemed team member, Michael Ackermann. Michael was not just a team member at FlightSimLabs, but also a cherished friend whose presence and contributions enriched our team and community in countless ways. He left us on the 9th of June, leaving behind a void that will be difficult to fill. Michael played a vital role as a hardware beta tester, displaying an exceptional passion for his work. His commitment to ensuring the highest standards and wealth of knowledge will be sorely missed by everyone around him. Those who interacted with Michael can attest to his infectious spirit, warmth, and genuine kindness. He consistently went above and beyond to lend a helping hand, offering guidance and sharing his expertise. His dedication to the team and unwavering support made him an invaluable asset to our community. As we come to terms with the loss of our friend, it is important for us to remember the incredible impact Michael had on our lives. We extend our deepest condolences to Michael's family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they navigate through this profound loss.

Cute… or rather it would be if FS Labs more-than-rarely provided actually substantial answers and updates to its customers. It’s only fun if you actually take seriously the genuine interest of those who support your work...

Hahahaha not jet

That's the best part of it. You already have it

Agreed!

Seems like FCU and EFIS are working with simapppro, but i cannot get the MCDU to work with it. The display lights up and stuff, and looks like it would work. But none of the buttons on the mcdu are working for it
