I've seen streamers and youtubers put an inibuilds watermark on the screen somewhere when streaming, so it's obvious they are, at least, "sponsored" by inibuilds.  Out of all the dev's I know, not a single one does this, or even pays them directly for content.  We give out review or promo versions, but there is no money exchanging hands.  So if this is true on inibuilds part, it's unorthodox, but also not surprising, based on the "sponsored" videos.

Inibuilds lately have been gifting hundreds of subs to a few notable streamers, especially around the A350 release, so that’s what that comment would be referring too. 

word not allowed, this plane went from being the "hot shizzle" to dog meat in a week or so. 

I'm glad I held off on purchasing. Lots of hype, carefully edited prerelease videos, youtube clickbait streaming, etc.

Yep, the whole nine yards.

Yeah, but some of them are streamers. So there is live footage of them flying the aircraft that's not beem edited to hide errors or mistakes.

Some streamers get briefed by some developers. Not all, but I think it’s obvious on both sides. 

Never trust a review that says a product is flawless or totally without merit. 

To be unbiased you need a list of pros and cons. 

Also expensive is not a con and cheap not a pro, but value for money could be either. 

I do wonder one thing... A330-Driver made a really positive video about A350. It was for me the main reason to buy it. If you are an A350 pilot, IRL, then you should really have no incentive to mislead the people, which if you do, would only be for financial reasons, I would guess. But being A350 pilot, I don't see you have any financial gains from it, I would say if you made it up to A350, then you must be making some serious dough.

Maybe I am wrong.

Me pregunto una cosa... A330-Driver hizo un video muy positivo sobre el A350. Para mí, fue la principal razón para comprarlo. Si eres un piloto del A350, en la vida real, entonces no deberías tener ningún incentivo para engañar a la gente, y si lo haces, supongo que solo será por razones económicas. Pero siendo piloto del A350, no veo que obtengas ningún beneficio económico de ello. Yo diría que si llegaste al A350, entonces debes estar ganando mucho dinero.

Quizás me equivoque.

You don't need to earn a lot of money, I don't think there is a MR Beast in simulation but many work monetizing channels and to monetize channels you need visits. You don't need to get paid by the developers either, not having to pay for addons is enough incentive, but of course, if you review a product with bad reviews, they won't send you more press copies and you won't go with Asobo to the Grand Canyon again.

I think we already have enough information for us to know that this product is “mid-range” as expected from Inibuilds, it is certainly not a fairing but it is not a FSLabs or a Fenix, it reminds me of the old Aerosoft addon.

 

The problem here is the price which I think being so high many expected a very high fidelity aircraft.

This A350 is great. It's missing quite a few ECAM screens, but most simmers (like me) don't even know about them or won't use them in their... let's say "simulation needs". Unless you fly the real thing, you won't miss them.

It's pretty stable even at 1.0.0 and has been very much improved in 1.0.2 by now. I am on my third long-haul, this time almost 7000nm and it just keeps on delivering. I am glad i skipped the 777 as i find this one much more fun (and beautiful too) even if it's not as systems-deep as the PMDG model.

Now where's that 767 BlueSky? I need to close my hangar!

MSFS has made my dreams come true: A320 family, MD-11, A350, A306, A310, 767 (hopefully still makes it to MSFS), Fokker 70/100, Avro RJ... Oh boy, i'm a small kid all over again! If only Aerosoft didn't butcher the A330, but oh well.

does it still have solid steel suspension?

They have always been moving.

are there videos that confirm this?

i'd like to drop 70 dollar on this, but i've seen zero evidence - maybe even just a vid of say taxiiing at 20 knots and slamming on the brakes - does the nose drop as expected?

spot view of a hard landing would be awesome as well

This is further from the truth but enjoy and certainly ECAM part. Its nowhere the level of the top dogs in MSFS airliner simulations with the same and in some instance more asking money price.

He’s biased. You would think he would talk about lack of systems how much is actually wrong. He does this all the time. For most products. Strange nothing really been said about this.

Wow, never thought this might be the case. I've heard people around praising his videos and knowledge pretty much. I guess I am unsubscribing on his channel and is gone from my list of youtubers.

Any other recommendations, some who are realistically testing and reporting truth?
