will this model be implemented in future game worlds?

I hope Sami takes notice of this. :)
A330-800NEO and A330-900NEO key data for AWS:
-14% fuel burn per seat
-12% fuel burn per trip
Similar fuel burn as the 787
-5% maintenance costs
Same family as the A330CEO
95% spares commonality with the A330
Exact same type rating as the A330 (no training required)
Common type rating with the A350XWB (don't know exactly what that means)
Up to 10 more seats on each type (mixed class layout) due to "space flex"
MTOW = 242t for both types
MLW = 186t for 800NEO
MLW = 191t for 900NEO
MZFW = 172/176t for 800NEO
MZFW = 177/181t for 900NEO
A330-800NEO = 252 mixed class 216Y/C / 36C/B
A330-900NEO = 310 mixed class 274Y/C / 36C/B
A330-800NEO = 7450NM @ Typical pax load (Airbus numbers - realistic calculations - including catering, equipment, crew etc.)
A330-900NEO = 6200NM @ Typical pax load (Airbus numbers - realistic calculations - including catering, equipment, crew etc.)
A330-800NEO = 8200NM @ Boeing mission (Boeing numbers - using the same unrealistic calculations as Boeing use for their 787-series - No catering, no crew, fewer pax etc.)
A330-900NEO = 7000NM @ Boeing mission (Boeing numbers - using the same unrealistic calculations as Boeing use for their 787-series - No catering, no crew, fewer pax etc.)
Engines:
Only one engine option = Rolls Royce Trent 7000 (RR Trent engine family)
Based on Trent 1000, electric systemengine bleed (removed pneumatic bleed)
Thrust = 72,000 lbs
Launch date: 14th of July 2014
EIS: December 2017
Production rate: Same as A330CEO

Not sure where this will appear...but any progress on getting the A330 NEOs into the game worlds that run past 2015?
I would be interested in using these planes in Game world #1. The launch date is right about now...
