I've seen plenty of streamers sims (2024) crash doing long haul flights and they have top of the line hardware and plenty of years of experience using several simulators. So I take some users as (not truthful) and with a grain of salt but that is just me and my opinion. But go for it and risk your time being wasted in hopes of a successful long flight.

LondonController left MSFS 2024 and the iniBuilds A350 running overnight for over 12 hours. He departed Ho Chi Minh city, left his computer running over night for over 12 hours, and he will be landing in London Heathrow soon:

Seems like there are quite a few people that are able to do 12+ hour flights on MSFS 2024 successfully.

Chewwy94 also just landed a EGLL to RJTT flight in 2024. He did have one issue where the aircraft started flying in circles between two waypoints, he filed a bug report with ini

The two waypoints were close to each other and both were 90 degree turns. He thinks it just confused the aircraft, there was also a 100 knot tailwind

It's just too hit and miss. I was able to complete 2 flights no issue. The third one I got a WASM crash - wasn't even doing anything special at the time (using the in-sim EFB to check weather). I then deleted the WASM folder, now it takes 40 minutes to load the aircraft, even after the initial load.

This is far from ready for public use. Apart from the issues I listed yesterday in here, I forgot to mention that I also have an issue with refresh rate on the displays. Sometimes they work fine, other times it feels like the displays are refreshing at 5 FPS, even when the sim FPS are great and in the 40s pre FG / 80s post FG. Definitely not worth the asking price in its current state.

Some people need to except the fact that this product is not as stable as others out there in the (long range) category in either 2024 or 2020. I don't need to name them.

I honestly am glad that it works out for you but for others (not all others) its simply not the same with WASM crashes. Maybe its a peripheral issue.

This simply continuing trend of today's software-releases. Early customers become beta-testers unwillingly.

Some of the bugs that plagued the A-300 sound like they are alive and well in the A-350.  

And, while I kinda like the A-300, it took ini a long time to sort those bugs out but as a result, I’ve never really “trusted” the A-300.

In my opinion, while the A-350 has more depth then other ini products, as a DEV, ini is not refined enough to command such a price or achievement to be compared with Just Flight, Fenix, PMDG.

But there’s also many people having zero issues.

So it’s really hard to say

Which sim?

2024. And they are very random.

I still didn't attempt to do a flight, honestly, as I was first setting up my streamdecks and controllers.

But I did try to setup a flight the other evening, exactly according to A330-Driver tutorial videos, and came up to a bug that has shown N<-N in weights. I wasn't able to finalize the setup of the aircraft.

Then I quit the sim, tried to start it up... crash when loading flight... try again... crash... try again. It loads the flight. I didn't delete anything, just decided to try 3 times. And these were not only crashes. I did clear the WASM cache after upgrading.

And on the 3rd attempt, I went through a shortcut, just setting up basics and weights, and looky there... weights shown up correctly, as correct as they can be, at least on par with Simbrief.

If THIS is my first experience, then I *HIGHLY* regret buying this aircraft, I so wanted to believe this is going to be a nice experience, but apparently even basics are not working correctly. It's something my old PSS Airbus even got correctly. And that was what... 22 years ago?

Pretty cool...   I bet it didn't cost them 500K either 😉  cough cough Aerosoft... 

Also very cool to see Swiss embracing this vs other carriers that have literaly filed lawsuits to stop their liveries from officially being in the sim.  

Question though.  Obviously if Swiss had to go out and pay a 3D and animation team to do this in CGI it would cost a lot but from a legal perspective do they have to get permission from MS/Asobo or pay them and pay ini?  Just wondering how it works from a legal perspective...

Day before he left it and it crashed. Same with Chewwy.

I guess what is TBD is are the WASM crashes ini issues or will others like PMDG have the same issues when they are properly introduced to 2024 as well.  In other words, core sim issue or ini issue?

My strongest guess is core sim issue with WASM. But... in the end, it doesn't matter. INI should have not released the aircraft, if any issues are known. Be that core and not. Can't release the aircraft and then say "it's a core sim issue, go ask Asobo to fix it".
