IniSimulations A300-600 on sale for $/€ 12!

Recommended Posts

The iniSimulations A300-600 is on sale for a suspiciously low price this weekend (10 GBP, ~12 €/$), but aparently only on the iniBuilds website.

https://store.inibuilds.com/products/a300

 

This is too good to be true. Still trying to find the catch.

I don't think there is a catch.  I'm sure they are just trying to stimulate demand.

That's incredible. I paid near $90 for that bird not 4 months ago. 

It's really nice.

If you use X-Plane, this is a no-brainer.

Even if (I am just guessing) the A300 wont be updated for XP12, this is a no-brainer. 🙂

I am ashamed to admit, but I have never encountered this plane or the company before ;-(
The A300-600R (F) (by IniSimulations) v2 looks fantastic.

So I am asking you who know this plane to help me answer two questions before I hit "Buy It Now":

1) does A300-600 work well in VR (with VR controllers (I don't care about yoke VR - I use hardware yoke))
1) FPS, FPS, FPS ... - I've heard it's a heavy model in this regard.
 Has in v2 something tiu improved?
What do the FPS look like in relation to ZIBO - which is in VR for me, on the verge of use ..

Thank you and I am asking you for help ...

I bought the Beluga in the last sale, and they're pretty much similar...

I believe this Sales are probably a sign of Inibuilds planning  to move into MFS for good, probably discontinuing their support for X-Plane. This is a guess, I can be completely wrong...

This is a '24 Hour' sale. So, better get busy if you have any interest.

I just re-installed X-Plane and bought this aircraft. Question. Is the only way to download and install the A/C via iniManager or do I have an option to download a installation file or executable? Also, if the answer is yes, does iniManager must be kept installed or can I uninstall it after I install the A/C?

Thanks.

Great find. I wanted this aircraft for some time. One of the very best aircraft you can get for xPlane.

And why would do that since they had a successful run with their line of Buses, mainly the A310 and they support two market segments.

It will be "no brainer: for them to move it to XP-12 since most of the code can still run in the new sim without them re inventing the wheel.

The jury is still out on when their first entry into MSFS with their A310 will occur and I'm sure they are not going to wait for that to happen before X-plane-12 so close to coming out. I would guess that a new version could be made specifically for XP12 to advantage of feature that are not in XP11.

I will just write quickly:
I took a chance and bought it (for pennies).
1) In the plane, in VR mode, everything works 99% using the VR controller (with the mouse 100%) 😉 
2) using the MoveVR plugin, you can use the iPad 😉
2) FPS are totally acceptable (much better than in Q4XP) 🙂

After the first minutes I am - DELIGHTED !!! 😉 🙂😉

Yes @Bulva and others, it's a true Bargain, and I'll buy it too... At least I know I have a really detailled toy to play with when the Beluga feels way too fat for my liking 🙂

With a bit of luck it'll run in XP12 too....

I’m really on the fence with this one, one heck of a deal £10 for something usually way way more, but I just don’t see my myself using it much, I spend most my time short hauling the Toliss and Zibo.

The A300 is easily my favourite aircraft in XP11. The sounds, systems, modelling...everything is top-notch. 

For that price, you can't go wrong, even if you don't use it that much. It will provide you a totally different experience compared to the Zibo/Toliss.
