It’s back! – Freeware Airbus A330 released for MSFS, by Project Mega Pack

UPDATE, September 3, 2022: The Airbus A330-300 from Project Mega Pack is back!
The Project Mega Pack team is back! With it, they bring a new version of their popular freeware Airbus A330 for Microsoft Flight Simulator!
This was an aircraft that was initially launched in early 2021, but ended up being discontinued after the team stopped collaborating due to a number of reasons (the Headwind A330 has since become an excellent replacement!). Now, Project Mega Pack is back, with both the new livery packs and an updated version of the A330.
The PMP A330 is now at version 0.3, which effectively makes the aircraft work again in the simulator, with a few additional fixes. This remains a somewhat simplistic simulation of the A330, featuring a custom-built 3D model of the A330, an A320neo cockpit with some A330-specific features built on top, custom engine sounds, some effects and animations, and faithful flight performance. The PMP team promises that “semi-realistic” long-haul flights are now possible with their A330, despite the long work that still needs to be done.
Features:
- Fully custom, built-from-scratch A330-300 model with fully custom PBR based textures
- Semi-custom cockpit including custom windows, throttles, engine starters, lighting, MCDU changes, and buttons, bringing the default A320neo cockpit closer that of the A330-300
- Custom RR 700 engines and sounds provided by ftsim+
- Near to life flight dimensions and characteristics
- Tire smoke, Engine/APU heat effects
- Included passenger and freight variants

I can’t get the screens to turn on, why can it be?
MSFS Addons
Maybe you have the A32NX installed? You have to remove that I order to use the A330.

I have a folder PMP_A330_300
Within that I do not see A folder Airbus_A330_300TR
How to install: (the Livery pack)
-Put all liveries folders in Airbus_A330_300TR
-Put the aircraft.cfg file in Airbus_A330_300TR and replace the old one (keep a backup in case)
-Put the layout.json file in A330-300 and replace the old one (keep a backup in place), Make sure the layout.json is in the same folder as the Simobjects folder, NOT the same place you put text

hi there I have just installed the a330 add on and when I try to cold start the plane it does not allow for me to use or press the apu master switch I have tried reinstalling the mod and restarting the game and nothing seems to help.

This airplane needs to be updated to be compatible with the World Update 5. Maybe that’s why it’s not working. But they said the update is coming!
