I just bought it and installed it in both 20 and 24 but it has too many problems with the EFB, going to have to shelf this until the next update.  Myself and loads of people are not getting Navigraph to work, it acts like it will work and then it's just blank, cant search or do anything even though it said the QR code link was successful.  

Loadout is completely effed. Sim brief doesn't import passenger numbers correctly.  If you try to manually over ride fuel and payload it it works with mixed results off and on. 

Model does not look as nice as I thought it would.  The wings are a bit lacking in detail.  Cockpit doesn't look as good as I had hoped.  But it sounds like they are aware of most things and are going to push an update asap.  In my opinion another botched launch by a major developer.

On my third flight of the day in the A350. One in FS2020 and two in FS2024. So far the only problem I have had is with Navigraph charts not appearing on the OIS.

It runs well on my antique system (RTX2027 Super gfx card) with frame rates as per other addon aircraft that I use. (By well I mean circa 30fps)

I have not even scratched the surface of the systems yet. I'm absolutely delighted with it. A superb rendition of the 350 by IniBuilds.

 

 

Can I ask for your FS2024 graphics settings as I have the same graphics card but only getting 10 fps with a i9-13900k?

It is funny (in a pathetic and maybe a new low for this site) that people are talking about a DEV who DIDN'T make this airplane in the form about the DEV who DID...and an OK one at that.  Fenix stole ini thunder and didn't even have to release a product, just a quick post somewhere.  

Fenix can have the "thunder." I'm sure iniBuilds is more than happy taking all that sweet A350 money. This product alone is more profitable than all Fenix products combined 😂

As an FS20-player im quite disappointed with the external lighting and the sound in general.

The sound when you go in the "cabin" are very bad. Even the Aerosoft a330 have better sounds at the moment.

Reading this thread reminds me why i come here less and less. 

I picked up the Inibuilds A350 and my results are mixed.  I have been using it in FS2020 as I am waiting for SU1 for FS2024 to become official.  For some reason I was expecting more fidelity with the exterior model.  Its not all bad but it looks a bit basic when you look at the details of some other models in FS2020.  Same goes for the cockpit as its not all bad but definitely lacks some detail over other models.  Even when zoomed up close I don't see any rivets or body panels for example.  Maybe the A350 does not have any?

I took it for a quick circuit around ATL yesterday and I thought it hand flew pretty nice.  Its so easy to fly and stable I feel my mom could fly it.  Performance was spirited but I did not bother to configure a payload and only had the default 50,000 lbs of fuel onboard.  I did not really notice any performance issues and my system is now pretty much lower mid level these days.  It might be different around detailed airports and with some clouds around.  Other than what sounded like a shot gun going off when I lowered the landing gear all was pretty well.

Today I started to dive into the systems a little bit.  I took it up for another circuit around ATL.  The payload manager or whatever is called seems pretty broken.  It seems no matter what gross weight I put in I could not get the passenger numbers to show a full payload.  Fuel portion of the manager seemed okay but not the rest of it.  I would much prefer being able to input actual passenger and cargo numbers into the manager and have it tell me what my gross weight is.  

At least with a payload it was no longer spirited and felt pretty heavy.  Next up was the AP.  Now for the record I have no idea how a real A350 AP works but I assume it would be pretty similar to other Airbus AP of late.  It seems my AP did not really want to do anything other than Auto Throttle worked.  After tinkering with it for a while I magically got it to work when I hit the FD button.  This might be accurate or it might not?  I would be a little surprised if this how it really works but if it does work this way I am of coarse fine with it.  

One of the most annoying things is the nose wheel steering.  Okay shame on me for using a basic set up but most of the time my PC gets used for many things and by other people.  So I am sort of forced to have a more basic setup.  I use the 0 and ENTER key on the keyboard keypad and this does move the nose wheel.  However on every other plane in the FS World the 5 key centers the nose gear.  However on the A350 it does not center the nose gear.  For the record every Inibuilds aircraft has the same fault.  Its darn annoying because you can't center the nose wheel.

I am planning on buying the A350 tomorrow. 
 

What I can’t decide is should I update 2024 to SU1 and use 2024 or install it in 2020 until SU1 full release. 
 

Has anyone tried it in both sims?  What are your experiences if you have?

Thanks 

I am running a 3080 and 2020 is so much better than 2024. Trust me. I have both and 2024 is just useless at this point.

Well, I cannot use the A350 at all right now. The cockpit is frozen with some displays partially working, and no switch and no button is working. 😞 I even can't operate the EFB.

Well 2020 or 2024? Specs? Need details.

Some people can't go above 2x sim rate between central India and Japan for some reason.

I haven't tested it myself yet, but I've seen reports.

Edit: Doing WSSS to YPPH now, yeah it does not go above 2X

No issue any where 2x or 4x for me... 3080

The iniBuilds A350 is not 72 pounds.  The iniBuilds A350 is 59.99 pounds

Out here in the real world, we have tax to add:

 

The price may well be £59.99, but that is not what needs to be paid to get a copy of the aircraft model.

I have updated the calculations to use USD, to keep it consistent.

Aha, so you have access to both companies books...

What rivets? It's a carbon composite hull, there are no rivets to be seen.

Not exactly.
There are rivets on the A350, but much less than on an all-aluminum aircraft like a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320.
On metal parts, some sections of the fuselage in titanium or aluminum still use rivets.
The junctions between composite panels and metal structures require rivets as well.
For access panels, maintenance, and certain areas subject to particular stresses, you'll also find rivets.

I’m running a 4080 and have mostly had no issues with 2024 since the hotfix’s. 
 

I’ve only used 2020 twice since December for a flight in the PMDG 737 and 777
