Straight from the iniBuilds discord:

'The iniBuilds A300-600R Airliner Premium v1.0.7 update is now available, bringing a range of improvements across systems, performance, visuals, sounds and usability. A major focus of this update has been performance optimisation, with significant improvements particularly to the freighter variant and cockpit environments, which you’ll see highlighted in our performance infographic comparing the previous version with v1.0.7. 

This update can be downloaded via the iniManager.

Performance Improvements
The graphic highlights a clear performance improvement between versions 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 of the A300 PW Passenger and Freighter variants across both low- and high-spec systems. On the low-spec AI9 365 / RTX 4070 Mobile system, the Passenger version increases from 26.8 FPS to 45.8 FPS average, while the Freighter improves from 30.7 FPS to 43.6 FPS, with both also showing significantly higher 1% and 0.2% lows, indicating smoother frame pacing and fewer stutters. On the high-spec Ryzen 9800X3D / RTX 4090 system, the gains are similarly noticeable: the Passenger variant rises from 64.7 FPS to 80.8 FPS, and the Freighter from 75.7 FPS to 84.3 FPS, again accompanied by improved percentile lows. Overall, v1.0.7 delivers substantial performance improvements and better stability across both aircraft variants, with the most dramatic gains seen on lower-spec hardware while high-end systems benefit from increased headroom and smoother consistency.


Alongside this, we’ve implemented numerous autopilot and flight mode fixes, added Pause at TOD, Time Compression and CPDLC compatibility for BATC/SI, improved EFB startup options, and resolved a variety of art, LOD and sound issues to further refine the overall flying experience.

did not expect ini to update the A300 again

After being thoroughly impressed with the A350 i am definitely buying this one. 

Really nice to see as the premium version was always a poor performer. I might bring it out the shed again at some point.

I think i need to add the A340 as well. It is only money. 

anyone having an issue with overhead click spots being extremely tiny? Like the over head buttons, the mouse needs to be in the exact middle of them to click on them

flip switches are fine. buttons everywhere else are fine, it's just the overhead panel.

Can anyone share what level of “time compression” they have implemented? 2x? 4x? 8x? Thanks!

up to x4 like the rest of their aircraft.

I dont understand Why they didnt fix the cargo door animation speed. It opens faster than my Crosstrek trunk. This has been reported before and should be an easy fix

my FPS is a lot better in it.

Me neither, this is a pleasant surprise and I’m pretty happy to see QOL features like time acceleration and Pause at TOD added.

A lovely surprise for a Friday evening!

I love the A300 Premium in 2024 and fly it almost as much as the A340 and TFDi MD-11.  It has a true retro / 80s feel to it and whereas the old sounds for it were dreadful, they really improved with the Premium release.

Look forward to the better optimization and new quality of life improvements.

Already had the 2020 version.. Was going to leave it in retirement.. Looks like that decision is going to be reversed this weekend.

I need to get the MD-11 as well. I might cut back on shopping today to subsidize it. 

Unfortunately, they didn't fix the enroute moving map. 

Still not working - at least for me.
