iniBuilds A310 first impressions

[Nuno Pinto 1,397]

Already 20+ hours on the type, this thing just keeps on delivering. Last leg UHPP to KORD was simply spectacular with the sun setting down enroute. Need to start taking screenshots lol.

Now what i'm missing is P&W, Cargo and a paintkit...

They are considering making new variants but they want people to comment on this thread to express interest

Just registered and also casted my vote 🙂

Done 2x 9 hour flights now.

Only issues are:

Can't enter anything in the MCP until engines turn on (this normal?).

Can't select any autobrakes on descent.

Small comment but does it look like there are wing lights or something always on that seem impossible to turn off? Any suggestions?

This Bird is just beautiful and works ( for first release ) superb !

My Favorite now, did already 5 flights, two for learning now on my way with my fifth flight - just great stuff - IMO ! 🙃

By the way the simbrief flightplan import works very well over the inimanager from the inibuild store so no problem for me anymore !

 

cheers 😉

For the MCP, the trim switches have to be on in the overhead. If not, the displays on the MCP will be empty/off.

Did you experienced an anormal fuel burn consumption? i was doing a 5800nm flight and my efob was always at -30 and the tanks fulled

Can you explain how? I can import the flightplan from Simbrief into the inimanager and into the aircraft via the Init page. But all other data is missing (fuel and payload, flight number etc). Using MENU/ACARS/Simbrief it still stays "Pending".

To do this, I believe the gear lever needs to be in the "off" (middle) position. IIRC, this was in the FAQ.

Same is for me, have to put in the other things  (fuel and payload, flight number etc) by hand but that is no end of the world for me..

cheers 😉

I've now also done a proper flight and I like it. Especially since I got through the first steep part of the learning curve thanks to 320 Sim Pilot video's!

During climb out I forgot to turn off the engine start switch, causing the cabin not to pressurise fully! Talk about in depth systems. 

If they optimise those FPS a bit, it's golden!

That is correct.

Nah was pretty close to simbrief fuel plan.

What will the enhanced package add ?
Unfortunately the A310 is loading within a minute on first start and also have the very bad FPS due to the compile issues.
