Interesting about the A300 as I'd think iniBuilds would also eventually put out their A300 for MSFS after the A310. In any case, the widebodies and long-haulers can't come soon enough for MSFS!, be they retro or more modern

Wonder what ol abrams have to say about this. 😉

As you stated lwt1971 there may be two competing A300's in the future. Going to be hard to beat Inibuilds though if they bring theirs over from X series.

Already being discussed here:

Different generations of A300 though.

JF is modelling the 3-crew A300B4 analogue flightdeck w. Dual INS installations, while ini is the more advanced 2-crew A300B6 w. Semi glass-cockpit and FMS, plus a plethora of other upgrades such as more powerful engines, increased range, increased MTOW etc. The last B6 was delivered as late as 2008(?).

I can actually see a successful market for both, since they are very different to operate, especially in flightsim because you are a one-man crew.

Good to know as I'm not familiar with this aircraft. Great to have different optioins.

If someone can pull off a fully-functioning INS for MSFS that alone would be enough for me to use it.  I have had a lot of fun with the Michael Cependa DC-8-50 in P3D with its CIVA INS.

I already made comments about this in the thread that was moved from here in the MSFS forum to the Hangar forum.

This is a nice get for MSFS but a loss for P3D. Oh well, Just Flight has to pay their bills, pay their rent, pay their employees,  and the money is in MSFS now.

I hope they're as detailed as their BAe-146! I also hope they add a digital FMS to both of these aircraft as most if not all 747-100, 200's and A300B4's have been fitted with a digital FMS.

I will buy these regardless, I just love flying the challenging classic jetliners.

Just Flight is the publisher not the developer kind of like Aerosoft and I sure hope its more detailed than the 146 which lacks behind the PMDG 737, Fenix A320 and the Maddog MD82 as far as systems.

Hey, remember when P3D die-hards were saying MSFS was going to die off and wasn't a viable simulator? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

[B777ER 2,502]

I want a modern FedEx A300. Seems like ini is the way to go.

It was the same argument with FSX/P3D v3 to P3D v4 argument. its just the same simulator only on a 64 bit platform such nonsense from the boomers. Whats even worse is the boomers from the X series that claim they have something new and revolutionary. My word not allowed.

Not the developer of what? They sure developed the 146. 
I am pretty sure the 747 and 300 are in-house as well.

Think of it this way MSFS is a Microsoft product, but developed by Asobo. Kapeesh?
