Ben Briscoe Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 Hi, Brand new to FsLabs and thoroughly impressed with the A320. I'm usually a long hauler (PMDG 747 / 777, QW 787 etc) and would love you guys to take on the A350...would be incredible! Go on! B 4 1 Quote

Scott Cebula Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) I'd love for them to create the A330/340 (and of course an A350)! Edited July 13, 2021 by Scott Cebula Typo 1 Quote

Several factors at play, one of course is comfort zone but it's not the main one. They build highly accurate as far as desktop simulation can go renditions of those planes. To do that you need to go into the minute level of detail from fractions of pound torque of an engine to fraction of a degree of aileron deflection to fraction of a psi on a hydraulic system. To get to that minutia they need real world data. And it is much easier to obtain that data on a plane that has been in development since 70s. vs a next GEn aircraft with next gen avionics. and next gen glass cockpit. They simply might not have access to that data. Second important consideration is that pairing that next gen everything with previous gen sim might be way too laborious and expensive undertaking. There are no study level high accuracy next gen aircraft in any of the sim platforms. In XP there is an A350 by Flight Factor which was a disaster for many years until Toliss bailed it out by pretty much cheating and plopping A320 logic behind the scenes. Made that plane a nice line hauler point a to point b to do some OnAir flights but study level it is not. Q787 is another example, flyable plane, good plane but it's a simulation light plane.

Interesting comparison, but three star Michelin precisely reward innovation, I would not exactly call the A330/340 - essentially benefitting of the A320 development - terribly innovative even though it might be an excellent recipe of traditional cuisine.

Anatoly Briskin Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 See it would have been more difficult if there was cross-pollination of devs between sim platforms. If FSL came to XP they would have to compete with Toliss thereby pushing both to innovate however neither them or Toliss are much interested in the other's sandbox. I am betting the same will happen with FS2020 sandbox. P3D is clunky and people are itching to move somewhere else providing there are planes to fly in that somewhere. XP crowd is not in a such big hurry, the sandbox is user friendly and very flexible, Those of us who like boeings we fly PMDG in P3D and buy FSL for contrast and compare and some role play with ATSU and GSX, so if and when PMDG moves over we'll transfer those to FS2020 and buy FSL again if and when it comes over for same reasons and we'll still keep our Tolisses just because they feel nice to hand fly, but those who don't itch for boeings in XP now, will stay put leaving FSL and Toliss again alone and without real competition in their respective sandboxes.

Camille MOUCHEL Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 An A220 or even an embrace 175 E2 family would be awesome as wellEnvoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Quote
Michele Benedetti Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 I agree…the A350 is the way to go. It would be the perfect add-on. Even more so than an A330/A340. Quote
Andrzej Witold Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 I think the key factor for A350 and A380 is lack of the data. You can find plenty of them for older generation, even in the form of shady PDFs. Most of this documentation now is only available in the form of various tablet apps. So to get access to this you have to be solid hacker and I do not think commercial developer even consider this. Another implication is that you cannot get anything 2nd hand on eBay. & Quote
Troy Kretzul Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 It would be very interesting if they were secretly working on an A330 (or hopefully Concorde) for MSFS behind the scenes, and that was their grand opener for the new platform! I'm a bit OCD when it comes to maintaining high fidelity reference level experiences on my sim, so as of now, it is very difficult to venture far for me in the MSFS world. Quote
Lauri Sivuoja Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 tbh the a380 would be marvelous to get to the sim. Such an iconic aircraft. Quote
Bob Zolto Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 Mo matter how much we ask, beg, plead for a 380/350/340/long-range Cub or whatever, I would think FSLabs has already made up its mind and it working on it. 1 Quote
Alejandro mirania Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 In spite of every days numerous infections I wish everybody is alright and healthy. One more wish, the A330!!!. Such splendorous aircraft worth it. Stay healthy, Alex 2 Quote
Simon Albrecht Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 The A380 would be really cool. Actually one is in developing for MSFS. But I don't know how good it could be. Quote
