iniBuilds A310 first impressions

Enhanced version (the one with 4K texture that's in marketplace) is way better than PMDG imo. But not yet Fenix level.

No way, are you using the enhanced version? 

Yes. Note the keys on the CDU, at least mine the resolution is barely readable. Same the EHSI control.

The keys on the CDU look fine: 

Must be an issue on your end.

Yeah I did a morning flight with it, and the light reflecting off the keys looked great.

Honestly I see it crystal clear, maybe something to with texture resolution? No idea

My bad. Thought I had the enhance installed. I did not. Made a HUGE difference in quality. Sorry.

I would be super happy to buy their A300 once is released and hopefully A380 (if is alive I presume?).

Ya their A300 and will likely come next as a paid product, see their latest on that below from discord. Also a couple of weeks ago they said the A380 is on the "backburner" but when they get back to it it'd be for MSFS first (if not only).  For the first A380 in MSFS, we're likely going to be enjoying FBW's free offering which is shaping up to be real nice: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/626324-new-a380-pics-from-lelystad-fbw/

The Fenix and a310 now are my top planes. The a300/F come along and I’m set. A380 will be good too since we’ve never really had a proper one in any flight sim. Unless abacus is your cup of tea 😂 the OGs will know the abacus works of art.

Can't believe this plane is free.  VNAV/LNAV work good, has an EFB and weather radar plus an awesome cabin.  Aircraft flies well, taxis well and it handles nice.  Freeware of the year hey?

Yup that mass/inertia feeling of the air currents tackling your airframe makes me grip the yoke and really give manual flying much more attention and focus.🍻

It gave me a CTD as soon as I entered KDEN/KOMA in the INIT page of the CDU.   👍

Also am getting a CTD when entering YBCG/YMHB in the CDU's INIT page.

Very much enjoying the A310 so far-currently doing a flight from YLRE to YBBN.

if that's because of AIRAC conflict, that doesn't bode well for me.. I have an outdated airac from simbrief... 🙄

Two flights with a combined length of about 1500NM under my belt now. Hand flies very nicely. Feels heavy with a nice feeling of inertia on the controls and it is very well behaved and quite easy to put where you want it. The autopilot tends to be a bit hot when on descent but other than that it follows restrictions nicely. Performance is absolutely stellar. This might just be my go-to airliner for some time. 

I got a CTD, though, and that was certainly >100 hrs ago that even happened. During cruise. That same flight had severe issues with disconnections, but I can't say that was the cause (sim sim EXE was the crashing culprit).
