The Airbus A340-600 holds a particular place in the history of commercial aviation. As the longest passenger aircraft ever built at the time of its introduction, the four-engine widebody represented Airbus's answer to ultra-long-haul operations in an era before the twin-engine efficiency revolution reshaped the market. The Aerosoft A340-600 Pro, developed in collaboration with ToLiss, has become a benchmark release for serious simmers in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. Built around deeply simulated systems, accurate flight dynamics, and cockpit modelling, it targets those who want an authentic long-haul experience from pushback to parking. Now, Belfast-based hardware profile developer 🔗 Flight Panels has partnered with Aerosoft to extend that experience to the physical realm, releasing a suite of Stream Deck profiles purpose-built for the aircraft.
The launch covers three distinct products. The centrepiece is the Aerosoft A340-600 Aircraft Profile, a comprehensive collection of over 730 custom-designed, pre-programmed controls spread across 23 pages. Covering everything from overhead systems and communications to WXR/TCAS, fire controls, and audio management, the profile is designed to mirror the layout and feel of the real A340 flight deck. Both 15-key and 32-key layouts are included — the 32-key versions are compatible with the Stream Deck XL, Stream Deck Mobile on iOS and Android, and the Corsair Xeneon Edge, while 15-key layouts target the Stream Deck MK.2, Stream Deck Mobile, and Corsair Xeneon Edge. You can grab it directly from 🔗 Flightsim.to.
The second release is the Aerosoft A340-600 Autopilot Profile, designed exclusively for the Stream Deck +. Taking advantage of that device's physical rotary dials and LCD touchscreen, the profile provides hands-on control over autopilot functions, navigation, EFIS, communications, transponder, and internal lighting. Speed, heading, vertical speed, altitude, and radio frequencies update in real time as you adjust the dials. It's available 🔗 here.
Rounding out the package is the AeroLens Pro Enhanced profile, Flight Panels' camera management solution. Tailored specifically for the A340-600, it provides rapid access to 24 custom views alongside five cockpit views, eight quick views, nine instrumentation views, and thirteen showcase camera shortcuts. You can find it 🔗 on Flightsim.to.
