WASM crash related to terrain radar

Does it mean that EGPWS aka terrain radar works now?

A great aircraft gets even better.. kudos iniBuilds, and this helps their A350 and A380 development too, as they're aiming at equal and likely even better fidelity for those compared to the A300.

Good read at https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/23487-inibuilds-a300-600r-airliner-v112-update-lets-talk-about-what-this-update-has/, some bits that stood out to me:

• "Our motto at iniBuilds with everything we do, is taking flight simulation to the next level. From the changelog you will see numerous items and areas that have been refined or fine-tuned. 🔥 For example, we have overhauled the PW start sequence, to FMS behaviour to the ECAM logic for the ENG FADEC channel faults. The whole aircraft has had a comb-through of refinements and improvements to deliver the most authentic classic airliner experience available in flight simulation."
• Feedback from IRL A300 pilot: "As a real-world A300-600 pilot, I was interested in giving the IniBuilds A300-600 a real test. It was great to see how far the team had come, even when there's not much info and experience available as the airplane is nowadays practically phased out. However, with my 10 years of experience from both the right and the left seat, I felt there were still some things which needed improvement. Finally, after months of tests and long nights of communication within the team, the A300 is at a stage where it really mirrors the flying experience of the real bird. From the different engine sounds to the way the overhead panel and FMS works, to the quirky PROF (VNAV) descent, it's all there. My advice, don't trust the FMS during the descent, an overshoot or undershoot is highly likely, and don't depend on forecasts descent winds.. She will make her own plan so make sure you are in control!"
• Performance: "The end result is an overall improvement in performance by up to 15% with code executing 300-400 microseconds quicker. This was measured in comparison to our current release version (1.1.1) consistently from a variety of sources and users."
• "Whilst updating the rest of the code we took the opportunity to completely redo our Lateral and Vertical guidance modes. Taking account of ARINC424 standards, Airbus Lateral and Vertical Guidance documents, FMGS FCOM extracts and hundreds of hours of testing by real-world pilots. The results are obvious and combined with the stability improvements you will see a consistent and realistic reproduction of how the aircraft operates."
• "Overall improvements can be seen across LNAV with the aircraft with turn anticipation correctly calculated with VNAV predictions, intercepting radial in and out paths and greater track accuracy."
• "VNAV now respects speed and altitude constraints more consistently which assists the LNAV handling overall. Tactical input and flying is still required from the pilot with the vintage style of guidance simulated, but overall improvements are noticeable; as explained by Jeremy above!"
• "These improvements will be present in other iniBuilds-created airliners soon."

Guess we'll learn more at their developer update/stream next week Monday July 22nd and then subsequent deeper update on the A350.

It's on sale too!  US $26.01.

Can someone give impressions on the performance pls?

These guys are definitely up there, one of the best devs we currently have for MSFS.

Good grief that's a steal

especially for an airliner that has now had 6 months of post-release-maturity

I know what I'll be flyin this weekend.

Gotta buy it today.  On sale only today.

this has been staying in my hangar because of the performance issue.  if the fps was like the 737 and 777, i would use it for fed ex cargo ops.

And what is about the A310? Seems to be lagging behind now...

Performance seems to be a lot better, didn't get to test for that long but my initial check seemed great. Anyone else confirm if performance increased for you?

I’m getting 50+FPS on one of my standard test routes  which is comparable to my PMDG planes in same situation. I say performance is very good but my PC also performs quite well.

It is for me, perhaps you might be surprised.  Try the update, it’s free.

Agreed. So great they're in close partnership with MS/Asobo too and providing more and more birds for the default fleet. And given this partnership they also likely get earlier/better access to the sim SDK/tools and Asobo devs, and also develop aircraft for MSFS in best-practice ways in terms of technology stacks used, etc (i.e. use of CFD to build their FMs from the ground up, etc). Win win for us.
