But from one of my screenshots from that approach, the GW was 160.4 tonnes. So technically I would not have been able to do a safe landing there. As it turned out - I was able to come to a complete stop with auto brake medium well before the end of the runway. Ah yes - parking could be a problem! 😅 This demonstrates how this Inibuilds bird is a "study level" liner! Missing the PMDG DC6 in MSFS 2024 (she's here, but...).

I'm still getting quite terrible performance - around 30 fps at my home airport of ENBL which is in the middle of nowhere. I wonder if there's something wrong with my setup. 2024 all ultra and with FSTL traffic injector. About 80-90 FPS anywhere. Maybe fly with the cabin ? Switch it off better.

No Sir, a liner with a GW 160/200 tons cannot land on a 6500ft runway, especially at LOWI. If this A350 can do it, it's a blatant physics law violation.

Because inibuilds correctly surmised that if you put up a bunch of high resolution screenshots showing lots of shiny displays, then hype the living daylights out of your addon, a lot of simmers are going to be like: "First day buy!" Or: Plane is worth: 34.95 USD - the rest is the sucker's fee you paid for the marketing you fell for.

That is a good point. I sincerely hope not. My PMDG 777F would not have even got the reverser doors open before piling it into the sea.

March 15, 20251 yr There's a video on YouTube of a guy landing it and taking off from ... Well, I gave up using this kind of arguments to feed my "installer mindset" because I would stop using any flight simulator, well with the exception maybe of Aerowinx PSX...
