| Native Airbus A330-900neo for MSFS
The A330-900neo is a wide-body jet airliner manufactured by Airbus.
It is an evolution of the popular A330-300 with new improved wings and modern high bypass engines (Rolls-Royce Trent 7000) for better fuel efficiency.
The first A330-900neo entered service on December 15 2018 with launch partner airline TAP Portugal, it can carry up to 287 passenger with a range of 13300 km.
Introduce
This project was originally started by Philippe Marion before being completely re-worked from the ground up by Headwind, to make it fully compatible for MSFS. This is not a study level aircraft, however it allows to make complete flights.
→ Communication : I don't have time to respond to private messages, however i regularly post information in this group : https://flightsim.to/group/18198/airbus-a330-900neo-conversion
→ Discord Server : https://discord.gg/UxWy8C6kgv
→ Simbrief Profile : Simbrief don't offer the A330-900neo profile but you can add this custom profile : https://www.simbrief.com/system/dispatch.php?sharefleet=352855_1650394989146
Key features
- 4K PBR textures
- Native wingflex and engine torque (first freeware aircraft with this feature)
- Custom flight model
- MSFS native effects and materials
- Semi-customised cockpit
- based on FBW A32NX system
Installation
- Please remember to delete your previous headwind-a330neo from your community before installing an update. Don't override.
- Simply drag and drop the headwind-a330neo folder into your community.
- Remember to calibrate the trottle from the tablet (EFB).
- Keep in mind that the first loading can be a bit slow.
More:
- You don't need any FBW A32NX installed : This A330-900neo is standalone.
- Chokes and plots are visible when Beacon switch is OFF, engines is OFF and parking break switch is ON
- Cockpit is based on the default A320 cockpit but semi-customised. This is not perfect but a few changes make it a bit different from an A320 cockpit.
- This is a beta and free version, please be cool.
Important informations
This aircraft systems are forked from the great FBW A32NX project, version 0.7.4. This means that the systems are more advanced than on the default Asobo A320. A cold and dark start requires some knowledge. If you don't know how to start an Airbus, I invite you to follow this tutorial.
If you are not familiar with the FBW A32N project, I invite you to consult the FBW official website and the documentation here.
A huge thank you to the FBW team without whom this project would not be possible. Please not that this A330neo is completely independent from FBW projects.

Does this Aircraft support the fbw experimental version? Great airplane BTW

Did a flight from KEWR - KFLL yesterday and the plane worked fine. Today i tried flying from KFLL to CYYZ and it crashed mid way. Since then I never got the plane to work. I have tried reinstalling MSFS and mod. Still doesnt work. Other than that the plane has got great details.

Hey i use the "turtle beach velocityone" flight stick. when taxing it just will not go the way all other aircrafts go , (turning left and right) . sometimes it just does its own thing. unsure if theres a setting im missing or what , all other aircrafts within the sim work perfect. its just this aircraft. any help would be most appreciated.

So I tried to do a flight From KSAN to KSFO. When i was at the gate getting the plane ready to leave, i could not ad any fuel. It spawned with only 3600kg of fuel and SimBrief says to have a block fuel of 12832. After I entered everything in the MCDU, it did not ad the fuel required to make it to KSFO. So when i was getting close to LAX, I was down to 160kg of fuel. So i diverted to KLAX, but I got to 0kg of fuel while i was 12 miles out to land. But the engines never died on me. I was able to land and taxi to the gate without the engines quitting on me. But as soon as I shut the engines down, i lost the APU as i had that fired up before parking at the gate. I am guessing the APU died because i had no fuel to run it. But why did my engines still run? And the only other thing that i felt needs attention is the turning of the plane on the taxi way. It is very hard to turn this plane without right or left toe braking it. And last but not least is the speed. I could not put it in manage mode during my flight. I had to control the speed through out the short flight. Anyway can anyone tell me how to show the correct fuel that is put into the MCDU? I can't fly the plane without fuel. Tnx

Hi Guys,
Is anyone facing an issue with the aircraft pitching up on it own at 80 knots and the managed speed not working until you change the cost index?

hello,
Are there any updates in preparation?? It's been a long time since we've had any news.
thanks 😉

Why in the mcdu the PERF options do not work?... that is to say, you can set the exit flaps, the speeds V1, V2, etc. but when you press NEXT the other parameters do not appear and they are essential for the final approach. .. someone with the same problem? ... greetings.DarkWolfPT 3 day(s) ago
hey, i was facing the same problem, but it only happens in ground, when i get cruise levels it works normal to me

Just completed a delivery flight from TLS-NRT. Westerly route to avoid Russian airspace. 16hrs 26 min flight time and she's completely stable. Great job!

Was this on Sim Update 10?
drift7rs 4 day(s) ago
assuming so based on how it was said as SU10 released 6 days ago
imnewtomsfs
it's the b u t t e r m a c h i n e

Unfortunately, the author has stopped releasing updates, there has been no news for 5 months, it's very sad, this is a good free plane, but there are still many shortcomings and a lot of work to make it great. There is still a lot to fix.

they announced an update on discord few days ago chill out man

Many shortcomings? I don't see any shortcomings at all ... What are they?
Air_Phoenix
Hey I've noticed some slight performance issues with the 787 HD after downloading this mod have any other users experienced this issue ?
furkanpanda1209
it very good but the throttle sensivity its too high
Chak991
In general its very nice, but one of three flights ending with ctd =/
harpolehary123
none of the screens turn on
AshJones91
Seems good for freeware, not very good for the long haul flights. FPS drops after a while to below 15fps, sometimes after 5 hours sometimes after 8. General handling on the ground is terrible, will not turn unless doing 1-2kts.
ApocalypsePlease 7 day(s) ago
and you would like it to turn while doing 0.5 kts?
Robert223
All the screens are Black how do I fix it? I'm getting an Error 0x80010135 path too long when trying to add to community folder. If I ignore, i get no instrument LCD panels of MCDU displayed Is this a FBW a320 incompatibility issue?

Align ADIRS by switching Three buttons to NAV
ApocalypsePlease
So far a great mod thank you very much. Any chance to have it updated with the latest FBW systems that include VNAV before CTP?
ItzChickenYall 17 day(s) ago
well the FBW version he said he used for the A330 is pretty outdated so that might not have any VNAV in it at all

Pleaae fix the Doors and the Parking Break!
