In a tweet posted yesterday, August 28, ToLiss revealed some new details about its upcoming Airbus for X-Plane 12. In a previous teaser, ToLiss revealed this new Airbus to be an A330 and the latest tweet has confirmed the variant to be the A330-900neo.
Just like the A320neo, the A330neo is a re-engine of the old -200 and -300 variants of the A330. The neo’s Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines have double the bypass ratio of the old Trent 700s used to power the ceo variant. These engines, along with various aerodynamic improvements, give the A330-800neo and the A330-900neo a much-increased fuel efficiency over their ceo counterparts.
ToLiss’ announcement revealed that the new A330-900 will feature a head-up display, new radio panels, and the usual quality you’ve come to expect from the developer. The shared work-in-progress images show the exterior and interior, highlighting the aforementioned HUD and radio panels. ToLiss says that most of the work on the A330 is complete, except for the textures.
The announcement mentioned that the new aircraft will be released in 2024, with an exact date to be revealed soon. If you’d like to view the original announcement, you can do so here.
