Anyway, I will continue to report, and I hope it will be useful for those, who, like me, are interested in having the high level simulation that was advertised and is available in other products of a similar price.

 

I also hope that those who maybe more casual flyers, and simply enjoy flying it from A to B continue to do so with pleasure. There is no right or wrong way to sim. 

As a casual flyer with no real-world piloting experience, thank you for this extensive bug report. I read it on the Ini forums, and it really is comprehensive and well documented. It would be a shame if Ini didn't address at least some of it.. large parts "seem" easy (though I have no idea what the underlying code is like, of course!).

Even as a casual, I paid a fair amount for this plane, and while I am enjoying it and having fun with it, I would really want Ini to make it as close to "study-level" as possible.

One of the nice things about the Fenix and PMDG planes is that these really are highly detailed. Sure, I personally understand very little of the more complex systems that really only matter to pilots, but I do like knowing that the plane has that depth, and maaaaaybe one day I will learn it properly (I won't, but a man can dream, right).

That's part of the appeal of buying an expensive plane and pretending to be a real pilot. If the plane is obviously a toy.. then the fun is lessened, and the price point becomes a real factor. Sell me a toy fun plane for $20-30, that's cool. $90+? Not so much. 

So yeah, thanks again, and I hope Ini follows up.

What an amazing update. Now without the cabin this is the best performing aircraft that I have for MSFS2024. They made the displays so much more visual.

Also the outside lighting effects is much better

Also no freezing like i have with MaddogX and iFly MAX

What's the "without the cabin"? Is there a no-cabin option in 2024, and if so is there a no-cabin option in 2020 - if there is I can't find it, all I see is the reduced texture option in 2020.

Yes, there is a no-cabin option in 2024. And of course there none in 2020, because there is no cabin in 2020 to begin with.

iniBuilds A350 Airliner v1.1.1 Out Now! ✈️

🚀 The A350 Airliner v1.1.1 update is now available and brings a mix of brand-new features 🆕 , bug fixes 🐛 , and immersive visual improvements 👀 to take your flying experience to the next level!

We’re pleased to confirm that the long-awaited iniBuilds A350 Airliner has now been fully tested and is scheduled to go live on Xbox next week for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! 🥳 
For those on MSFS 2020, the build is still not in a releasable state, and we appreciate your patience while we work to resolve platform-specific issues.

 ⬇️ Download and install the update via the iniManager.

📋 CHECK OUT THE CHANGELOG: https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/31134-inibuilds-a350-airliner-for-microsoft-flight-simulator-2024-2020-v111-released/

this includes the HUD for those who are not bothering to read the patch notes

Navigraph subscription is no longer recognised, hud glass is so dark you can barely see through it, the bingo card of inibuilds a350 updates. bug regressions all over. 
and before anybody says navigraph is fine, try setting btv and zooming in to arrivals runway, you will hit the navigraph error.

Nothing on performance - but finally I can see window blinds from outside. Glad their priorities are sorted. 

I fear given they are releasing now to x-box that the majority or all of development is now over. I so wish Fenix had continued, so disappointed.

Absolutely out of their depth. 5 months since release, changelogs and fixes are a thing of fantasy.

Performance is way better than it was at release, it was improved greatly in the initial ULR patch.

What are you talking about, every release has had fixes and a changelog.

Your fear is not warranted.

I hope it is not; they seem to have a long way to go

BTW,

 

If you are interested, I have gotten round to writing up some of the issues with the A350 here https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/31038-a350-v110-bugs/

Best.

Well done for this. If you're doing this as a paying customer, what are their supposed "beta testers" doing ?    I've always been skeptical of the best testing phenomenon.

Thanks.

Yeah, just a paying customer. I’ve no idea what they’re doing. I can only guess that they just give them to content creators, the vast majority of which just don’t really know how the aircraft systems should work, and don’t really test anything systems related. 

It’s a real shame, as someone who knows a lot about Airbus systems, (I haven’t flown that particular aircraft, though my partner does),  I’ve repeatedly offered to help in any way I can to try and get all these bugs and errors ironed out, but they don’t seem interested in the slightest.

If I was a developer, and someone had given hours and hours of their own time (I’ve made more than these reports) testing and writing up in detail various errors and bugs, I think I’d bite their hand off and be keen to get them onboard to help.

I just don’t understand. They seem much more interested in adding vanity goodies like printers etc., rather than actually delivering on the promise of unparalleled realism etc., etc.

Given the state of the A-300 and the rate they release other products, I don’t think ini is in the market of hardcore simmers.  They seem to be more interested in dumping out products as fast as possible hoping to net the more casual simmer.

I think the A-350 was far and above the above the amount of energy they wanted to spend on one project.  They are just doing updates to maybe get those on the sideline to take the bait.
