Meanwhile, they’re rolling out “Cabin Packs” and “Emergency Scenarios” while core performance concerns go unanswered. It’s frustrating.

There's a couple of fixes for this. All of which fall under the general heading of Market Pressure.

Yea, iniBuilds is on my cautious list, and I prefer not to buy from them. The A350 was the last straw for me, not so much a performance issue but its system and flight model inaccuracies are far too great for an aircraft at the price they charged me; and with that I lost confidence or trust in them. They are talented modelers but they seem out of their depth when it comes to aircraft systems and operations and when it comes to the rigorous, meticulous work of optimization. This is why I believe the PMDG's. FSLab's and Flightbeams's of our niche industry take so long to complete their products and why there is a premium cost. A lot of work is needed beyond model for a great airport or aircraft.

Unless you're some type of iB or Asobo insider, you have no basis in fact for making this statement.

I've seen professionals who should know better absolutely crush ultra high end systems with their own configs and work. Yet when another sits down at the very same system, everything runs fine.

 

Could be true and definitely a reason I haven't considered purchasing it.

Because Caveat Emptor.

You can see it for yourself on the inibuilds Discord not just the one but plenty of other creator Discords, which is why I said what I did its no lie it's the truth. If I'm not mistaken some pilots on the inibuilds team have said how wrong things are let alone people who aren't and fly the aircraft IRL and put videos on Youtube.

Looking on the internet, it appears to be otherwise:

Many users have reported encountering significant performance issues with the iniBuilds A350 aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator, particularly in comparison to other aircraft addons. 

Common Performance Complaints:

• Low and Decreasing Frame Rates: Users have experienced significantly lower frame rates with the A350 than with other aircraft, even with powerful systems. Some reports indicate performance degrading over the course of a long-haul flight.
• Stuttering and Lag: Frequent stutters and lag spikes have been reported, impacting the overall flying experience. One analysis of VR performance noted constant spiking in CPU frametimes.
• Worse Performance with Updates: Some users have reported that performance worsened after certain updates.
• Comparison to Other Aircraft: Users often compare the A350's performance negatively to aircraft like the PMDG 777, Fenix A320, and even the FlyByWire A380. 

Potential Causes and Contributing Factors:

• Resource Intensiveness: The A350 is described as a "known resource hog".
• Optimization Issues: Some users believe the aircraft is not well-optimized, with bad coding contributing to performance problems.
• Long-Haul Flights: Performance seems to degrade during extended flights

Ah yes, ChatGpt, the most reliable resource for research....

 

Trust me it's on the internet, bro.  😉

If you want to fly a badly optimized resource hog use the Flybywire A380. That one performs way worse than the Ini a350 on my system.

But since it is free and the developers admited that this is where the most work needs to be done, I'm not complaining.

Just observing.

On my system when it comes to performance of Airliners, the default ones perform best, followed by PMDG, IFly, Fenix and Inibuilds share more or less a spot and then comes the FBW A380 as the worst.

Because you responding with "I don't have any issues so I have decided it's not true" adds so much value? Right...

Because it simply isn't. I read the Inibuilds forums as well and the performance complaints are clearly in the minority.

Never had an issue, whether in 2020 or 2024 , other than the initial release of the A350, i don't see the stuttering your seem to see, nor the poor performance. Specs below.

I have had the same experience - not a problem at all and love flying it.

Maybe people tweak their systems too much?

I always find it funny when people chime in with, “I have no issues, everything runs great!” That’s great—for you. But the reality is, there are plenty of users who are not happy with the performance of iniBuilds products.

I remember doing some troubleshooting for their San Antonio scenery for MSFS 2020, and I came across a thread where iniBuilds straight-up told a customer not to use DX12 with the scenery because it was causing issues—and to just stick with DX11. Seriously? That’s your solution? Nowhere on the product page did it say it wasn’t compatible with DX12.

iniBuilds could be great—there’s real potential there. But at the end of the day, this is a business, and business runs on revenue. Revenue is king. It feels like what we’re seeing is a clash between passion for the craft and the push to maximize profits.

I think that customer was me. lol... I am still waiting for that KSAT update. If I was holding my breath for it, you all would be celebrating my passing 2 years ago now.

Nope.

You've absolutely NO IDEA if the "majority" are dissatisfied.

A "large" number of complaints can just as easily be explained by an extremely large number of customers.

Percentages are the only things that matter.

And unless you have access to the total number of A350 customers, you simply cannot truthfully make assertions like, "majority".

Again, this product clearly has issues that generate a LOT of noise. FAR more than I've seen for other top tier devs, even the "controversial" ones like PMDG.

All so simply avoided if the masses would but apply some restraint and critical thinking before pressing "Buy". 🤙

Oh I do like I've mentioned it shows in a lot of places where they are. Are you for real? How do you think businesses make changes the complaints from vocal people are the ones that matter hence why they backtracked on the cabin packs being sold for a price. You do realise inibuilds mis-sold the product saying it would be high fidelity it would be like the real aircraft etc. If they didn't do this then they wouldn't of made the sales they did hence why people bought it because of the advertising it was a rushed out product. Now the majority have decided after the misleading advertising they won't go down the route of buying the next product and why people are actually being caution when it comes to the A220.

I think that we move away from the initial post and start arguing about something else. Also, my mistake was falling for it. 

IniBuilds MU-2….NUFF SAID!!

Informed them of issues with EGGW Luton, installed the update to correct them, and no change. It makes me wonder if this is also only for MSFS 2024.

I have EGGW, EGLL, LOWI for both, what are the issues?

The issues, I’ve ran into with iniBuilds is:

1.  Their website, after purchase forces me back to iniManager to install (no download).

2.  iniManager - unable to checkout from it, have to use website.

A $15 Local Legend is somehow your benchmark...? 🤣

I'll see you that and raise you the quite well regarded iB Airbuses developed for v2024.

'nuff said, indeed.
