Aircraft developer ToLiss has developed a reputation for creating some of the best Airbus flight simulation products around and they have just revealed a new entry to the series. Their next airplane is the A330-900neo, one of the most modern aircraft in the Airbus line-up. Let’s have a look!

A330neo announced

X-Craft developer ToLiss has just today announced that their next product is the A330-900neo. The aircraft follows a series of A320 releases as well as the A340. All have proven popular with the community and with critics alike. Deep systems simulation, a comprehensive flight save feature, detailed flight management computers, and a custom in-house developed engine model are among all of the aircraft series highlighted features.

The A330-900neo appears to be following the footsteps of earlier products and will include the new DRAIMS radio panels, heads up display, as well as the rest of the A330’s systems.

ToLiss reports that the aircraft is nearly complete and that release is expected this year!

Real world considerations

The aircraft they are modeling is an interesting one too being among the newest in the Airbus line-up. Its not, strictly speaking, a new airplane as its a New Engine Option (NEO) variant of the A330 that is quite similar in many ways to the philosophy employed with the A320neo series. Powered by the Rolls Royce Trent 7000 series, these new significantly larger engines, apparently offer a 12% fuel burn advantage over older Airbus A330 models in real world operations.

It’s currently being operated by Azul, TAP Portugal, Delta, Virgin Atlantic, Cebu Pacific and others. Fans of real world operations, a common requirement among airliner fans, should have some interesting routes to fly.

Look for more information from ToLiss soon!

  1. I think the A330-900 is a nice looking aircraft. Maybe not in a classic kind of way most people mean it in like they do for something like the DC-3, Tristar or 747 classic and it will probably be a forgettable plane as history of aviation unfolds, but I think it’s a nice plane. I hope some day some developer like Fenix, Bluebird, PMDG or iniBuilds do a payware one that is very high fidelity. Or maybe ToLiss might join the MSFS market. Who knows.

      Who knows, maybe it will become a classic in due time. It seems like the A330neo is, after a few years of not having too many orders, now picking up quite a lot of steam. It quite like the look of it!

      I’d love it if Fenix did it for MSFS. That’d be great!

  2. I always thought the A330/340 was the most graceful looking airliner series. I had the extreme privilege of flying the 330 (both CEO and NEO) for nearly a year but realized I was not made for long haul flying.

    The Toliss A340 very satisfyingly scratches both my widebody and Airbus itch in any sim, and is one of only a handful of planes I still keep X-Plane installed for.

    Purchasing their 330 NEO would unfortunately be too redundant for my particular wants, but like others have said I would really love to fly their 340 in MSFS, though to my knowledge they have not expressed any interest in doing so.
