This is such a wonderful aircraft from inibuilds. The features it offers like, OIS, navigraph integration, performance calculations, airport moving maps on ND, BTV, WAAS approaches are technologically best so far since I started with Fs2004. Though it lacks some ecam systems depth but the way inibuilds continuesly working on it, it will get more better with the updates. Thanks inibuilds

Finally found some time to "fly" it and so far I've been positively impressed by various aspects of the simulation.

Did a couple flights, LPMA-LPPT and LEMD-LPPT, under the really nasty weather conditions IRL over the Iberian Peninsula, and from the performance which is basically smooth as silk at 30 fps, no stutters, to the details of the complex OIS and other systems which are still making me read and study the "new" cockpit, and even an autoland under gusting winds and turbulence, I really think it's a very nice model of an A350.

Graphically it's more than I actually needed it to be. I would gladly reduce the texture resolution a bit, to 1K, but I guess that's not possible(?)

Then, I did notice only some kind of a tendency to bank aggressively under some circumstances, bringing bank angle to the limit 30º, but for instance the pitch oscillations I had seen in some youtubes of users flying pre 1.0.4 versions didn't take place in my tests.

I asked at the support forum about the only aspect that made me mad about the way a particular feature is implemented and, from the answer I got in that thread, maybe it's even a realistic outcome of turning on the Beacon Lights 🙂 but it was painful to see most of my systems dying when, ready to start the APU, I decided to switch them on and got a "severe power shortage" 😕 because the GPU was unplugged ...

I completed a flight from SBGL to KMIA in the A350 and had absolutely no issues with the last update. Well, invested $$ for me. Loving it.

Just completed yet another very rewarding flight : LPPT - LPMA with the RNP-Z-05 (AR) Approach.

Beautiful flight, excellent modelling of the various systems I interacted with, nice hand flying although it feels a bit too light, but it's probably not that detached from reality.

The modern Airbus cockpit is really nice to learn and use, and this aircraft reproduces it, so far that I could tell from my limited experience and familiarization with it, very well !!!

Was a bit expensive, but worth it for sure !

That's interesting - how did you think it handled the RNP approach? I've done a couple so far, and the A350 seems to handle these quite well.

Very well, and it was rather windy for the 05. But it managed it very well, and manually flying the final app was really rewarding!

Did rnp(20) to khatmandu, it was a wonderful experience. 

Also did few wass(LPV). It was just like an ILS.

I’ve really been enjoying her as well, the last couple of updates seem to have yielded a performance increase for me. I’ve also got a 15 hour flight under my belt from Singapore to London Gatwick with zero issues, never done that in any sim.

Enjoy her, I think the A350 is the best looking airliner flying today 

Hmmm, purchased it in the 2020 Marketplace and it shows up and flies fine there...but does NOT appear anywhere in 2024...

No need to cross-post, you’re in 3 different threads with your mistake now. Only Inibuilds can sort this for you.

I'm having a great time with this aircraft.   In FS2024, no problems since the 2nd update.

 

Outside the actual aircraft, the only thing I wish I could do is filter a map (preferably in MSFS2024) based on minimum runway lengths and gate sizes so I can find more destinations.    😀

The longest flight I have ever done in a flight simulator was with Aerowinx PSX, a 12 hr flight ... 

The A350 is indeed beautiful, but I also like the 787 🙂 and I still dream of the 747s, all of them 🙂

That's a mess @Boomer 😕  When these stuff happens it can completely ruin an otherwise great experience.

Well, at least I hope you finally get that sorted anytime soon, but they - INIBUILDS - are probably busy fixing the Forum which has been spammed (General Forum) hard 😕

Although I was just about to purchase it through the Marketplace early this week, I recalled that usually the few addons I purchased through there had updates at a much slower pace in FS 2020, so, I never purchased other then ASOBish planes through there (just two actually...).

I was lucky to change plans and reinstall the IniManager and purchased from there, but it took 2 days ! The first 3 tries were unsuccessful, only at the third try did I manage to finish the electronic payment 😐

Since we are in retrograde Mercury, I also though it was a "Sign of the Universe" not to buy it 🤣, but, against all odds, I insisted until I was finally able to install it and start a short session just to taste it for the first time 🙂 

Anyway, now I am more than fine with it and glad I didn't give up! Don't lose your faith in it... Have you opened a ticket with their Support?

Looks like it's not released in the 2024 Marketplace yet.

 

 

Don't forget the MSFS 2024 Marketplace has only recently opened and they'd by a bit of a backlog.

By all accounts this is true.  The problem is that 'light' does not translate very well on a desktop sim at all - realistic or not - especially on large aircraft.    I reduced my roll and pitch sensitivity settings which made it 'at least feel like I am flying a heavy aircraft. 

I love the inibuilds A350.   It is a superb piece of work.  Highly immersive, fun to fly.  Great job

2024 marketplace is not open to 3rd party products yet
