Man I hope you said Jinx, touched wood and span around 3 times clockwise on your right foot after you said that 😂

That's like me saying "wow, I have no more calls today" as my phone rings for another call that wasn't on my calendar to begin with LOL. 

An interesting comment I found on that FilbertFlies A350 Refund video posted earlier:

$77 USD for a plane in this state is crazy. I've seen so many content creators glazing this thing... because they got it for free, of course.

    iniBuilds doesn't just give their products to their favourite content creators for free, they actually PAY them to produce content. As far as I know, they're the only developer that does this.

 

If this is indeed true, it at least explains the large amount of positive content about the A350 from the main community creators despite the aircraft having major flaws. I wonder though, do they use the "Paid Advertisement" flags in their Youtube videos? It's one thing to promote an addon because you genuinely feel it's a good one, but it's another to do it because you're being paid to make the content by the company behind the addon. I suppose the take-away from this is "take what you see on Youtube with a huge grain of salt".

Aside from that though, I was going to purchase the A350 but I cannot give £72 for an aircraft which isn't as good as it should be because that sends a message that it is okay for them to continue to do what they're doing, i.e. releasing an aircraft which isn't ready while charging a premium. I accept that they're working on fixing bugs, but... perhaps they should have done that before releasing it? Some of the issues are obvious enough that basic QA should have caught them. The fact it was reliant on a beta release of the simulator it runs on when it came out is a big enough red flag for starters, but Inibuilds also have a history of abandoning their aircraft (XPlane) and/or not fixing glaring bugs with them (A320neo %N1-related audio) so no, it's a pass from me this time.

The audio in the Neo is now fixed with SU1. Gave a quick test seemed a lot more quiet. 
 

Edit: you’re on about something else.

I tried it last night and it was still exactly the same for me.

most payware addon aircraft are gifted to these utuber content creators so its not only ini doing  it

I'm sorry but ini has had a reputation for having issues with ALL of their products...AND not fixing said issues.  That's why I did not buy it at release...nor any of their scenery.

Unfortunately, even though there were lots of red flags from ini, folks jumped into this way too fast.  Don't get me wrong, I would love to have this airplane.

 

CptCanada is sponsored by INI. I assume it involves money, but have no facts on it. Even then, the thing about streaming is it is pretty hard to hide the sins of an airplane. He had like 7 WASM crashes when he did his preview streams. 

In terms of streamers flying it a lot, I think a lot of it it's the new hot plane that drives views. It's been a while since we've had something new. I imagine they, and their viewers, are tired of the usual "Fenix\737\777" streams.

CptCanada does put "includes paid promotions" on his streams also.

I don't really follow a lot of them, but I'll put Canada on while I'm working in the background.

Disclosure: I was not paid by him for this post. 🙂

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.

 

 

Try Revo Uninstaller...

People love defending them

I really dont understand all the issues. I am usually the odd bird out with issues. I am enjoying the aircraft very very much..

Ditto, it could be argued that it should be $10-$20 cheaper or whatever due to level of fidelity but that’s not something I’m going to worry about.  I’ve had four really good flights in it so far and am having fun with it.

I think this is the 'norm' at this point.  I can barely watch many of these U-tubers anymore (all subject matter, not just flight sim) outside of tutorials or something educational.  I mostly stay away from review videos now with all the clickbait and paid promotions which for the most part is not even being disclosed.  'Say Intentions' has been doing the same thing using paid promoters everywhere you look with zero disclosure....
