Aerosoft recently posted a video on its Facebook page showcasing all of the engine models that will be featured on their upcoming rendition of the Airbus A330ceo for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The A330 has been in development for quite a while, and it seems that Aerosoft has made significant progress.
Aerosoft A330 Engine Showcase
In the video, we can see the three initial A330ceo engine variants: the General Electric CF6, the Pratt & Whitney PW 4000, and the Rolls-Royce Trent 700. Among these, the Rolls-Royce Trent 700 is the most widely used, powering over 800 aircraft in service. The video offers a detailed look at the engines, featuring impressive spinning animation, textures, and an overall high level of detailing. However, the engine sounds were not audible in the clip as Aerosoft decided to use music instead.

Recently, a website had been discovered where the complete documentation for the Aerosoft A330 had been leaked.

Earlier this year, they announced the postponement of the A330ceo project and expressed their intention to launch it concurrently with the A330neo after the release of MSFS 2024.
