As I mentioned earlier, my previous A330 model was incomplete, so I present this refined version.
Labour Day Update
New PFD screen!
Updated cockpit
Added new trim wheels, engine start switches, and more
Better ATHR system
The output airspeed is now more accurate. Here’s a speed comparison between the old and new ATHR systems at 200 knots.
4.more bugs fixed
update 2025/4/26
- More realistic cockpit
- Edit some codes,now plane basically would not self vibrate when flying at high altitude and high speed
- Some bugs fixed
Introduction
This remains an Airbus A330-300, now with an optional General Electric CF6-80E engine configuration.
While Rolls-Royce engines may appear more fuel-efficient, unverified reports suggest GE engines excel in long-range operations. Additionally,I heard lots of maintenance guys said RR thrust reverser problem nearly kills them.So why not have a taste on GE version?
Tutorial
Alright here's a streamlined cockpit startup guide:
1. Power Up
"And God spake, ‘Let there be light’—and lo, the BAT1 switch was kindled."
- Activate the battery to supply DC power to essential systems.
- Optional:You can also switch on external power if you need,the external power would be available in this area,it will provide AC power to the aircraft.
2. APU Startup
The APU (Auxiliary Power Unit),is basically a small jet engine in planes tail,which not provide thrust but generates AC power and bleed air for engine startups.
Procedure:
1. Engage the APU BATTERY to initiate startup,it provide enough power to start the APU.
2. Switch on APU MASTER SWITCH and APU START
3. Monitor N1 and EGT gauges until the green AVAIL illuminates.
4. Activate the APU GEN switch to connect power,and we're done.
3. Engine Ignition
Now, it's time to wake up the good old GE engines:
1. Enable APU BLEED ,which allows high pressure air bleed to spin engine fans.
2. Confirm FUEL PUMP activation.
3. So there is nothing to worry,switch on ENG START SWITCH .
4.And here we go,enjoy the increasing numbers and the rumbling sound.
4. Takeoff Prep
After engine startup:
- Verify ENG BLEED and ENG GEN are active.
- Disconnect APU and external power.
- Set flaps to CONFIG 2.
- push the Throttle to the TOGA thrust,hold your plane until the airspeed reaches above 150kts,then dive into the sky!
Autopilot System
- Autothrottle (ATHR): hold your throttle below 60%,which is CL thrust,set your ideal speed,and connect the ATHR
- Autopilot (AP):set heading,altitude and vertical speed as you wish,and connect the AP1 or2,now you can sleep at the cockpit.
AND...
if you still have some misunderstands,or just a random AI plane came from no where crashes on you so that you have no choice but restart the game,DON'T WORRY,there is always a
FASTBOOT MODE
by hitting
ACTIVATE1
the plane would be instantly able to fly.
Controls
- AG1: Fastboot
- AG2-7:Dont worry nothing here
- AG8: Direct Law override (OFF state)
- VTOL: Flaps control
- Trim: not for trim,cause I wrote some auto trimming codes.
-Brake:Spoilers
-Throttle:Throttle
have a nice flight!

The great system that ever lived
@Yukie570 thanks
@Someguywhomakesmods link here
@Yukie570 that's fine
@Someguywhomakesmods well, I guess you have to wait for a couple of hours,I'll keep the necessary parts and put a link when I've done
@Yukie570 I cant do it because my device can't handle it
@Someguywhomakesmods I'm not sure,some cockpit functions rely on data from other part of the aircraft,like N1 display require output from engines, so the detached cockpit might not work fully on its own. If you insist,just find the pattern " AIRBUS " on the right side of the fuselage, click on the part on the right side of "S", You can disconnect this part and remove the entire nose completely.
If any of this helps with your 757 ,don't forget to mention me at last.
I thought of collating on a build but no as I thought you might not have time but anyways ... Could you strip this down to the cockpit area so I inspect what you did for your cockpit as I will inspect and replicate something like it in my 757?
