March 17, 20251 yr I know this aircraft well and there are few problems with up-to-date liveries - for me just a concern of tiller working when it wants cordially
March 17, 20251 yr 1.0.4 seems more stable for me, I managed to do 4 flights now without a WASM crash. However, still a long list of what I would class at least medium issues: Auto tune still not working, major issue for BATC users and already a dozen threads on this on their forums. Flight dynamics still feel weird. Sudden pitch up/down after rotation still there. Nose wheel steering totally wrong - no inertia, taxies like Mario Kart and I also get random extreme movements to the left/right on the nose wheel that are uncommanded when taxiing and make taxiing quite a challenge. Sounds still need more work. No option to chose a default panel state. Displays have very low refresh rate at times. FPS performance still far below Fenix.
March 17, 20251 yr Honestly from what I've seen so far, it doesn't cut it for me, specially for the price tag 😞 And I would really like to have a good A350 ... Maybe one day they can fix it to a level that becomes acceptable ? Maybe FSLabs does something too? I will wait...

And yet some Real World pilot youtubers say they like it ... which makes me stay with my own convictions and evaluations when it comes to flight dynamics and ground physics accuracy in MSFS... You mention an aspect that is so so evident from any youtube one watches with the Ini A350 that it "makes me cry" 🙂 - the ground physics, or, better put it - the lack of proper/ plausible ground physics, which supposedly are even using the new FS 2024 ground physics model 😏... with that ridiculous lack of inertia. Also the autoflight systems and the woobling during aproach and other phases of flight, even under perfectly good weather conditions...

Also the autoflight systems and the woobling during aproach and other phases of flight, even under perfectly good weather conditions... Absolutely. Ground handling is a joke right now and I dread hand flying it on approach. I've got hundreds of hours in the Fenix, PMDG 737 and 777 and they all behave like I would expect them to and they're a joy to hand fly. I've done a real A320 Level D motion sim at an airline and all of this felt believable. The A350 flies really odd, it sort of bobs around on it's on, swings from left to right constantly...basically it hand flies like a Piper (which I have flown in the real world). I landed at EGLL yesterday, wind was VRB02 and it felt like I was flying a paper plane in a storm with constant corrections and bobbing on its own. I've done enough flights on the A350 as a passenger to know that it's very comfortable and stable and nothing like the ini.
March 17, 20251 yr Ladies and gentleman just imagine if Fenix or PMDG released a product like this at first stage. Would users be as sympathetic or criticized as they are not for one of the most hyped up airliners (A350) in flight sim history that did not turn out too well on release. Ini should be held at the same standard as PMDG and Fenix and did they manage that accomplishment yet? I don't think so not even close. Edited March 17, 20251 yr by JBDB-MD80

I have to admit though that I did not yet apply the ini recommended hw settings for dead zones and such. Wanted to prevent it as I assume those kind of settings apply (in 2024) globally and all my other tubeliners behave nice like Fenix or FBW and I fear I may bork them for the benefit of the 350 behavior… Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"

I have a custom profile set up for Fenix based on their curves but I'm using the default curves for the ini, like they recommend in the manual/FAQ. Doesn't seem to make any difference.

I have notice it little sensitive on longitudinal axis . Other than that it feels in par with PMDG 737 and 777 when flying bu hand.

March 17, 20251 yr On my machine A350 is running fine - I'm getting better performance then fenix A320. Have done numerous flights with it, so far only encountered one issue where FMS was messed up after using Direct with abeam function on approach to Frankfurt. But other then that - quite fun to fly, Hand flying does take some time to get used to.

The days of 25-65 year olds "simmers" using p3d are gone. The market is now aimed at younger "gamers" and gamers like and respond to hype not logic. They will simply just turn it off as its not hype and gimmicky. Edited March 17, 20251 yr by fluffyflops
March 17, 20251 yr Running very nice now with latest patch. My go to for long haul works just as good or better than the 77W.
