I honestly still don't understand the appeal of this project. Why is the Headwind getting so much praise? The current external model is not good, the cockpit model is adapted from the Asobo/FBW A320neo model. The systems and avionics, again, are adapted from FBW with few changes. Yes, I'm aware that Headwind have shown some promising features in the works such as custom 3D models, systems etc. So, when you look at it at face value, what has Headwind really brought to the table here? Not much. Did I miss anything? I am genuinely curious as to why this project is receiving so much praise.
Maybe you can help the Developers to get better than good. I think everyone could improve from your input
Hello. Its not A330!!!!This is an A320 FBW disguised as an A330. Big disappointment. They copied and pasted the other plane's settings, but it's not real. LVFR A330 real.!!
This add-on lost me at having an A320 cockpit in an A330 shell. Even for free I couldn't take it as a 330. It's like Captain Sim's 777 which is actually a 747 in a different external model. OK, this is free but still. It needs much work.
You are comparing against a a330 CEO cockpit not a A330 Neo. Cockpit. Though you are still correct there are differences. One is the single gauge mini pfd on the left hand side of the ECAM is correct, though the placement of the timer is much lower on the panel. Also the APU fire test controls is also correct. Airbus moved it there on the Neo. As mentioned Headwinds already announced their intentions to develop a more prototypical cockpit. That's one big advantage to these freeware developers. History has shown they constantly strive to improve their products. And update them regularly, support like that you never see from pay ware developers.
While the Headwind a330 is fantastic for a freeware plane, I have the say the Fenix a320 and the PMDG 737 planes have spoiled me; I can't bring myself to fly anything that isn't close to that level of fidelity.
Thank you for telling the truth. It's respected freeware however for immersion's sake, it does truly need to be a A330. It's bad how everything is using a recycled 320. I truly hope developers can step up to the plate freeware or pay ware and make MSFS special again. Cheers and blue skies :)
It sounds like you are comparing performance data with a A330 CEO. For example the idle descent rate you say should be shallower, but the NEO's engines are much bigger then a CEO, which would increase the drag at idle thrust, increasing the descent rate to maintain 250knts.
Been looking forward to this. Obviously the cockpit is not right but it’s fun to fly and as you said is free. A lot of systems dont exist. It’s clearly taken a lot work so fair does to the developers contributors
I am glad people can enjoy this plane. It is not my thing, but the beauty of FS is that you have options for everyone. I have never understood why people care what other people like or do in this community. Hell, I don’t even care about Captain Sim. If you want to spend the money and you enjoy it, than that’s ok with me and you should enjoy yourself. I cringe when I hear people always complaining about planes like this or even Captain sim. It highlights the snobby culture that I sometimes really dislike about the flight sim community. If you don’t like this plane or any other, than just don’t use it, but we should not complain about the people that do like them. Some people just want to fly a cool looking 777 or a330 even if it’s not real and thats cool with me. I won’t get it, but I understand those who would.
This freeware A330 is such a joy, kudos to the dev team and all the contributors. It feels a bit sluggish when turning whilst taxiing on the ground, but i assume its normal for an airplane this size.
You do an awesome job showing us how to fly these planes. Thank you so much for your videos. Good luck with your career.
Another great vid thanks Mr Driver !
I'd love to see a full flight tutorial series for Airbus aircrafts as you did with the PMDG's B737. Really like your channel and I'm a follower since day 1, keep the spirit!
The biggest points for all the Freeware aircraft close to or in cooperation with FBW is, patience a lot of the systems aren’t there yet and since the whole thing is free there is no definite completion Dates.
Thanks for the Video :) You are right, it is an A320 with some mods in an A330 shell. However it is great and a joy to use. At their discord the team of Headwind already posted some progress on their own cockpit and modification of the current 3D cockpit to make it more A330 like in the future.
Excellent video! Thank you!
I also enjoy flying this airplane, one thing I really like is the engine sounds on the ground, they have done a great job on that.
Decided to try this one and it is absollutely fantastic! We can see cooperation with FBW, but tablet is even better. Flies really nicely, it is a pleasure. We can feel it is an heavy aircraft. It is close easy as flying A320, but must remember about high energy due to mass, and little bit slower responsitivity.
