Documented highlights

Takeoff performance depends on completed loading

The A330 tablet can calculate takeoff references and transfer them to the flight-management system. The user selects dry or wet runway conditions, and the tablet can calculate the takeoff stabiliser setting only after loading finishes. A loading-in-progress message therefore points to a specific prerequisite.

The -200 and -300 have different fuel arrangements

The iniBuilds A330 guide distinguishes the -200's centre-tank configuration from the -300 and describes the horizontal-stabiliser trim tank. It also covers hydraulic preparation and engine-specific indications. Engine and airframe combinations are identified by variant throughout the manual.

Loading a large object also changes the weights

The BelugaXL's cargo page loads and unloads visible cargo, with assigned weights for some objects. Starting that load can override a previously entered zero-fuel weight or SimBrief payload. The manual calls for checking the final weights on the payload page after cargo loading, including when a plan was imported first.

The BelugaXL has a dedicated operating guide

The BelugaXL's oversized transport role comes with a separately published cockpit and operating guide. It includes its own hydraulic-system preparation. The XL guide covers its specialised cargo configuration.

Sidestick commands and automatic trim

Laminar's A330 guide explains load-factor-related sidestick behaviour, automatic trim and its relationship to bank and load conditions. It also identifies three hydraulic systems. These systems are documented for Laminar's aircraft.

Flight-control laws, hydraulics and fuel transfer

ToLiss documents normal, alternate and direct control laws for its A330, alongside hydraulic-flow and surface hinge-moment modelling. Fuel transfers can change centre of gravity. The v1.1 change log also distinguishes simulator branches, retaining X-Plane 11 support while adapting weather-radar behaviour for X-Plane 12. Internal force calculations are not automatically exported control-force telemetry.

Product and edition scope

Aerosoft lists Aerosoft A330-900neo for MSFS 2024. The linked listing was captured 28 September 2026.

Documented product features

Aerosoft describes an A330-900neo simulation with custom Normal and Direct flight-control laws. Its product page also describes flare trim logic and an optional automatic take-off trim setting. These are Aerosoft product features, separate from the default MSFS A330 and ToLiss A330 entries.
