I've done 6 or 7 flights in the A350 now. Not sure if I'm that happy with it. I haven't experienced a WASM crash. Yet. But I think there are a number of things which make me favour the Fenix A32x series - even though that's still in experimental mode in 2024. 

One thing is performance - doing the same flight from Rome Fiumicino to Zürich, the performance was quite terrible with the iniBuilds vs the Fenix A321, using BATC at "moderate" traffic settings. 

There's also some non-iniBuilds related stuff, e.g. finding it inconvenient to interact with the MCDU (is is even called the MCDU in the 350?). It's great having the option to use the Fenix MCDU on a tablet. I try to avoid using the mouse and keyboard as much as possible while simming. 

Ok I'll modify my last post about this aircraft.  I enjoy it way more in MSFS2024 than MSFS2020.  Just did a nice 11hr flight and no issues.  But I still enjoy flying the big dog 777 as I like the feeling of flying big planes.  Can't wait for it to come over to MSFS2024.

Maybe if you sit back, just watch and don't push any buttons or interact at all you will get a good long haul flight? 

Well no it crashed on the overnight long hauls when they were asleep.

Well, did you tell them not to touch anything during this time? As the aircraft seems a bit sensitive…

Seems MSFS2020 version is more stable for now?

It will do a 10hour testflight on saturday in MSFS2020.

Folks, when you update, do you a fresh install?

I posted in the MD-11 forum here, whenever TFDi and ini send out a updates, I run the uninstaller then search ALL my drives for any folders left over (there are at least 3).  I manually delete those, reboot computer, do fresh installer, reinstall and load sim/fly.

Maybe this will help with some of the bugs.  If it helps, let us know please.

SleepSimming? Is that a thing now? 😴🛩️

No, why would I? Imagine I would have to do that with every other piece of software, when I see the number of updates UnigetUI does almost each day, I'd be only uninstalling and installing software all day long.

I did now 8 flights with the A350 with no issues, flight had all over 5 hours, longest was 8,5h, had not even one WASM crash at all, and just to say again in my opinion MSFS2020 is the best Flightsimulator we ever had !!

MSFS2024 is at yet far behind from MSFS2020 and there is still a long way to go to reach the superb optimazion that MSFS2020 achieved after 4 tough years of updates, bug fixes ect, ect.

cheers 😉

I seriously hate that we are even talking about some crashes in the sim. It has been so long time since I left off on P3D platform, while I did buy 2020, I was so fed up with the uncertainty of sim-crashes. Back in FSX, this was so depressing, and in P3D, it got better once they went 64bit, but still had issues or stutters or low fps or or or...

MSFS2024, with Fenix mainly, is the first sim, even 2020 wasn't there for me yet, that I had a feeling I can relax without being anxious that it will crash. It was - just - stable, no matter what I did (oh well, except the Career Mode, however, it did not crash the sim, only flight or bugs).

I developed this joy-feeling, that I will finish the flight, there will be this awesome landing, beautiful scenery, you know... you expect it? It was relaxing.

Enter inibuilds A350: the feelings from before are back. Uncertainty. Expect issues. Low performance. Crashes. I experienced it myself. I saw others having issues. Troubleshooting, clean cache, clean that or that.

No no no no no.... I am leaving it, even though I was really hopeful, I even bought airport en-masse, since they were all "on sale", even from INI, I so regret doing all that. I seriously blame them for pushing me to shell out around €300 for everything. It *was* my decision, but it was their false marketing that pushed me to do it.

Anyway, my point of view.

Just to chip in my two pennies worth flying in 2024 with no cabin; I had one WASM crash before the update and since then it has ran fine but with performance issues at third party airports with heavy Vatsim traffic. Having said that my system is decidedly mid-range or lower. I like it but think it’s overpriced, unless this is just the base level and ini are going to expand the depth of the aircraft over time then I’ll revise that opinion. Of course part of the problem is that I’m not sure I like doing long hauls anymore and that’s not ini’s fault. Horses for courses…

question; now that SU1 has arrived is it required to again clear the WASM folder?

No idea, I guess it doesn't hurt. Were you on vanilla 24 or SU1 beta before?

I'm not particularly impressed with the comms from ini on this. Their forums are flooded with WASM crash reports and occasionally someone pops up to say "sorry, please bear with us".

It's now been over 1 week since this was released and there are still no official comms explaining what is causing those mass crashes or what their plan is to address it. Reading through their forums they seem to indicate that every WASM crash is unique and needs to be fixed individually. This makes me wonder how they actually programmed this thing and if they really have to implement thousands of individual fixes then we could be waiting for a while... hopefully the PMDG 777-200ER gets released soon and they show them how it's done.

I’ve had no CTDs or WASM crashes in 2024 with the 10 flights I’ve done so far. One was 14 hours long too

Yeah, and Chewwy has done two long hauls since then with no crashes.

But still had crashes. The discord is full of crash reports etc. Even ini accept this has been a shambles release.

Let me just turn off the ADR’s and still fly it like nothings happened.
