Aerosoft A330 Delayed Until Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Aerosoft has announced a delay in the release of their highly anticipated Airbus A330 add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator, pushing its launch to align with the upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 release. This decision marks a significant shift in the project's timeline and development strategy. The A330 experienced a complex development journey. It was featured in a trailer released in summer 2023, suggesting an earlier release date. Despite this, the development faced various challenges, leading to the decision to postpone the release to coincide with Microsoft Flight Simulator.

One of the primary reasons for this shift is to leverage the advanced technology and features expected in the upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator. This includes the incorporation of multiple engine options and simultaneous release of both the CEO and NEO variants of the A330, a feature not originally planned in the previous project scope. Aerosoft's decision reflects their commitment to delivering a high-quality product, despite the extended development time.

"Following a thorough evaluation of the project, we have decided to shift the development and release of the A330 around the upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024", the statement on Aerosoft's project page reads, and continues "Once we have more details to share, we will update you via this page". This move might disappoint users of the current simulator version though, while more details about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and the A330 are eagerly awaited.
