Meet Airbus A340-600

The A340 shared substantial programme work with the A330 but used four engines for long-haul operations. The initial -200 and -300 were followed by the much larger -500 and -600 developments, which brought different engines and significant airframe changes.

The stretched A340-600 is therefore not simply an A330 with two extra engines. Its dimensions, fuel system and equipment deserve their own reference. ToLiss's simulator documentation describes the specific flight-control and hydraulic modelling of its implementation.

Control-law changes are tracked by release

The A340 change history distinguishes normal-law Alpha Floor, alternate-law high-speed stability and later yaw-control corrections. It also separates X-Plane 11-specific fixes from other changes. The reviewed August 2026 release is v1.6.1 build 1696; this source provides version context rather than a promise that every installation has the same behaviour.

Hydraulic failures change what surfaces can do

ToLiss describes hydraulic-actuator flow, hinge moments and control surfaces that can float after failures. The A340 also models reversion between fly-by-wire laws. These features make failure state part of the systems description, rather than treating every control surface as a permanently available response to the pilot's input.
