5th of 10 phase release we are halfway on this planespotting challenge! So far the only two people who are in the challenge still has a chance of winning.

A rather docile aircraft, no peculiar behaviours though it seems to be wobbly on the ground when you input a roll. I was unable to fix that issue in time but it can be dampened or eliminated by activating group 5 or short for AG5.

Some new things applied in this project, for one is the cockpit, completely reworked from the Airbus A330-300 Air Canada with improved modelling, efficient part usage, and a somewhat more realistic cockpit interior. Secondly is the undercarriage assembly, its multipurpose, I have applied it on numerous Airbus projects I have been working on, and also a rework to simplify build and reduce part count. flaps now function unlike before in the Air Canada A330-300 where its just functioning on placebo effect. Pretty redundant and futureproof myself.

Lastly are the engines which saved me numerous hours of modeling, basically they're repurposed GEnX engine+nacelles from my Boeing 747-8I Transaero project, and actually improved upon particle wise, and noise wise. Now its a bit more fuller in audio, and emits small particles to give that realistic oompf.
