About CLS

The main idea was always to create products that were easy on the eye and simple to actually install – as many expansions and add-ons can be a bit of a nightmare to install. CLS, though, concentrate on offering a service that installs quickly and is just as simple to use. If you are looking for an effective way to actually use a flight simulator in a more mature and challenging manner, you might want to consider looking into CLS and their other products on the market.

This project, however, is one of their most popular. It represents the famous Airbus A330/A340, which has been around for a long time and is one of the most beloved members of the Airbus family. As such, it’s easily established itself as an absolute favorite for flight simulation fans to use.

Airbus are pretty difficult to represent properly in the simulators, but this addition does the best job that it can to give you the ultimate flight simulation experience from the Airbus point of view.

About The Airbus A330/340

As one of the most successful brainchilds of the excellent Airbus Group, the Airbus A330 and A340 have become some of the most commonly made Airbus aircraft of all-time. It was first introduced in January 1994, and has since gone on to establish itself as one of the most prominent multi-national aircraft in the skies. They are capable of accommodating up to 335 passengers, or they can be used to transport up to 150,000lbs of cargo. This makes them incredibly useful for various reasons and has been one of the key reasons it has so easily established itself as one of the most prominent names in Airbus history.

While much of the origins of the Airbus A330 go back to the 1970s model of the Airbus A300, it brings in many different inclusions and changes that make it that little bit more unique then the usual Airbus models. For example, the A330 and A340 both use the powerful fly-by-wire technology that makes the aircraft so successful and was first introduced in A320. It also uses the successful glass cockpit that was introduced in the same Airbus model.

It was the first airliner in the Airbus range that came with three options for the engine – a General Electric CF6, a Pratt & Whitney PW4000, and a Rolls-Royce Trent 700. As of December 2014, more than 1,150 of these aircraft have been produced and they look to be a key part of the future for many airlines across the world.

Key Features

  • Hugely detailed 3D models that have been closely detailed and made using hours worth of footage and data to make the most accurate model possible. Nothing has been left to chance, and every last detail has been added in whether it’s a window position or a small bolt. This makes the aircraft look as realistic as possible and guarantee that anyone who has experience with an A330 or the four-engine equivalent A340 will be able to easy get to grips with the system that they are now using moving forward

  • Completely 3D virtual cockpit system that have been totally re-mastered. It’s also been configured to fit the needs and requirements of the Airbus model. Everything has been added in that would be there with the real thing so if you want to guarantee long-term education you can use this to get answers!

  • Ability to bring the wings into view when using the interior view camera angle. This can be an irritant if you want to see everything below, but gives you the same view that you would have if you were actually using the aircraft in a real life flying exercise

  • Opening doors as well as added in cargo doors to make sure that everything feels as realistic and alive as it possibly can when you are using a flight simulator – give yourself every opportunity to really buy into the experience and take in every aspect of the flight other than just the flying itself!

  • New standard animations made from scratch to cover everything that the real aircraft itself actually does – this makes it easier than ever to actually get to grips with the aircraft and understand what action leads to what. This provides a cleaner education than if you had generic animations

  • A pushback truck has also been included just to give you even more layers of realism to peel away, and to help those using this to learn that these events do happen when you are flying an Airbus A330 or A340

  • Dynamic wingflex has been included to make sure that the aircraft actually fits the attributes and specifications that the real-thing would be judged upon

  • Dynamic shines have been added in to fit with the totally reworked textures and models. This creates the real kind of style and quality that you would expect to see from any aircraft in a simulator, giving you the kind of reaction from the Airbus from the sun and the rain that you will need to get used to when you are flying the real thing!

  • Realistic landing light bulbs and housing illuminations at night so that you can easily see where you are going and around in a simple and easy to follow radius. This makes it easier than ever to keep track of the flight at hand so that you can get every one of your passengers from A to B in full detail!

  • Static dischargers have been completely modeled to be unique and to ensure that they look exactly as they should

  • Detailed flight deck has been added in to make sure the aircraft carries that authenticity, with hours of footage and real-life experience of using these aircraft included to get the most detailed representation of the aircraft interior that was possible

  • Ailerons and elevators will droop down from the aircraft when the engines are shut off, just as they would in real-life. Many smaller features such as the jet blast effect that Airbuses are so well-known for, as well as the flaperons that are a customary piece of most Airbus designs

  • Fully animated cockpit control surfaces, making sure that every last function is easy to both spot and read – this guarantees that you never need to miss a thing when you are taking off into the skies for the first time

  • Detailed changes to the texture mapping to ensure that, whilst the realism and details are closer than anything included in the vanilla FSX package, they do not compromise your performance in any way. even on the lowest graphics settings, these new changes and additions will make an incredible difference to your performance as well as the aesthetic value of the aircraft

  • Massive inclusions that feature new changes to the sound and the way the aircraft uses the sound to make it more realistic than ever before

  • “True Feel” to the design has been implemented, guaranteeing that every fact and figure used in this package comes from an authentic and trusted source when it comes to Airbus projects. With 6 unique flight models that are based on various Airbus specifications, and 2 models for the A340 equivalent as well, you get more choice than ever before in what kind of Airbus you will fly in your simulator

  • Everything has been replicated following authentic documentation, as well as genuine flight experience and high-level simulation experience with the FAA Level-D simulation

  • Various scenarios have been included, too, to make sure that you don’t just have ghost flights to carry out – now you can actually get realistic missions to follow that are based on the real-world operations and lifestyle of the average Airbus A330/A340

  • High fidelity sound packages included that are based on the Trent engine mentioned earlier

  • Custom effects added in for everything from the way that it takes off to how you actually look when flying – every little thing you notice with an Airbus flight in real-life should be present in this realistic representation

  • Realistic EICAM displays that make sure you can easily use your systems that deal with everything from the hydraulic pressure to the flight controls and electrical power for your business

  • PFD provided that gives you the logic and ideas behind how to fly an Airbus so that you can learn with detailed information that comes from the experts. This lets you understand how to get involved with your Airbus package and really benefit in the long-term

  • 150 liveries provided absolutely free to give you more graphical choice than ever before as to how your Airbus is going to look!
