XP72 is streaming this.

Not a good advert for this A320. He's spent 10+ mins trying to start engines. Perhaps someone from iniBuilds might want to join his livestream to show him how it's done.

An accident waiting to happen. A bit like AF 447 

Sounds like a 'If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going' / 'What's it doing now' type of guy. All those regular news reports of Airbuses that just keep falling out of the sky...

Priorities. Money, resources management. I know that Inibuilds does not work on bugs, but if my landlord sends me roses while the roof is leaking I ask questions, can I?

You can't be serious with that comparison. Do you also hate the work WorkingTitle do then?

@Tuskin38 If you can verify in one of your test flights the ability of the AC to perform RNAV with RF legs and RNP that would be great. If not i understand.

Thanks

Not to the extent of airbus. There is a ferry pilot on X I follow, he hates the airbus, 95% boredom and 5% seat of pants for heroics is how he described it. An accident waiting to happen. A bit like AF 447 

I agree in the sense that I’m a Boeing guy, but Airbus (or the Scarebus as pilots call it) is not any more an accident waiting to happen than anything else. The philosophy is simply different. Boeing trusts the pilot, Airbus trusts the computers.

Yeah, looks like a binding issue with the TCA. My biggest beef with some streamers is they don't do a test flight to sort out config issues. Instead they hop on stream and vatsim and ugh.

That’s is not what I said at all, or even hinted at. So you’re totally misinterpreting what I said. I never said the plane was unsafe. I said it was boring to fly, which leads pilots to become complacent. Hence AF447. 

how is the performance compare to the FBW version ?

My favourite aircraft to fly as a passenger is the A380 or A350 or Dreamliner. So two airbus in there. As a pilot, it's boring.

Over the time of MSFS so far, I've become quite disillussioned with Inibuilds aircraft.  I always feel they lack a certain hard-to-describe polish and moreso I always find the flight handling charateristics quite clunky and over pitchy.  (Bought the MU-2 yesterday and find it pretty universally awful but that's just my opinion).  However, first impressions of this A320 are that it seems to be a big step up for Inibuilds.  I'm quite impressed. The quality level just seems higher. 

I think we'll only see the best they can do with the upcoming A300 (they're saying it's still on track to release by end-of-year) and then their "modern airbus longhauler" which is likely an A330 or A350 (they've ruled out the A380 and A340 in their teases and posts on discord so far.. to be revealed by end-of-year and released in 2024 probably).  What we currently have for free in the A310 and A320neo likely will never to be the best-of-their-breed offerings since that level of fidelity they'll likely want to restrict to their payware?

But from the user perspective, what we have for free as *default* aircraft in the A310 and A320new is unprecedented IMO, and given their use of MSFS's CFD tech I find the flight model of the A310 very competent though of course the systems might not be as high fidelity as they could be (not in the beta yet to try the A310neo, and haven't tried the MU-2 yet). Have heard very good things re: the FM of their other payware aicraft for MSFS (which also all use CFD), so might pull the trigger on the A300 and definitely the airbus long-hauler.

second flight I did auto tuned to the correct ILS. Not sure what happened yesterday

The T/D calculations seem to be off, the VPATH is too sharp for the aircraft to keep up with.

I don’t disagree that they’re boring, what you said is that they’re an accident waiting to happen. Which is just silly.

AF447 had absolutely nothing to do with complacency. That may have been the single thing they did get wrong in that accident; they made every other mistake you could imagine. 

Can the back door on the left be opened on this model ???
Would be nice when passengers can also board at the back
