Great that you're not having issues, but the above is not true. Most of the bugs that INI have actually acknowledged and are working on are nothing whatsoever to do with operator error.

It's clear that some have no issues and that others have major issues.  It's odd that there are always people who, on reading other people's problems, will always fire back defensively that the product is perfect and they must be flying it wrong!!

I see it as correcting for the silent majority.

Looks like patch has fixed my problem so far.

I’m assuming we need an updated simbreif profile with the new weights ?

From iniBuilds, "I didn't want to change the profile until it was in everyone's hands, will sort it tomorrow".

He will ping the Discord channel when he has uploaded the new profile.

Thank you @Wise87

First flight done from YSSY-YMML, didn’t go through all the change log but here’s my take.

- performance seems better 

- sounds are much better maybe a touch more work to do 

- landings are much nicer and feel more natural 

- landing gear comes up at a realistic rate

- steering is fixed, if someone can explain the auto disconnect tiller disconnects after a certain speed I’m assuming? If so what’s that speed?

This plane is shaping up to be one of the best addons, I love my Fenix I love my Just Flight stuff and now Inibuilds is reaching the big leagues, quickly.

Did you manually plug in to CDU or via simbrief? Mine was imported from sibmbrief. I tried twice with FSUIPC and without. 

P.S. I haven't tried latest update yet

I'll try your route over the weekend BEFORE I apply the patch.  I will import it from simbrief, too.   Does it lock up somewhere along the route?

the airplane is too filthy I prefer the clean look or private versions of all the jets I fly... otherwise I am impressed! no performance issues like the 310 has... .hmmmm

I just did the same complete fight after patch everything works. The only difference runway was 36R

The problem I had before was right after take off. Autopilot wouldn't refuse to follow heading in heading  mode or "direct to" in nav mode. Flight directors where inconsistent showing bank and night aligning with magenta line. Resetting autopilot didn't work either. It keep banking into deep turn. Flying manually 3 hours was not viable option.

The dirt and the filth is what gives these planes their character! As mentioned, its been quite a while since this planes been flying. But everyone has their preferences.

IA306 freighters are still in daily service with FedEx and UPS. If you check FlightAware any weekday evening, you’ll typically see at least a couple dozen in flight.

So far, sim bombed out (crashed) after pressing the FLY button (LOL) -- so let me try again and see if I can even load-in at KAUS (!)
