Hello!

Since we last did a development update in December, the team have been full steam ahead! With the TriStar Airliner release now well and truly approaching, we wanted to share a new development update covering what we’ve been working on behind the scenes.

Earlier this week we released our “Welcome to the TriStar” video, giving you a first proper look at the aircraft inside Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The response to that video has been fantastic, and today we want to expand on some of the areas shown there with a closer look at systems, sounds, and artwork, along with a few additional previews.

But first, a quick recap of some of our recent aircraft updates for our other projects, including the A300, A340 & A350 Airliners!

Recent Aircraft Updates
Over the past few weeks we’ve pushed several updates across our current airliner lineup, including the A300-600R, A340 Airliner and A350 Airliner.

These updates focused on improving overall performance, system stability, and day-to-day usability across the aircraft. The A300-600R Airliner received a major performance optimisation pass, particularly benefiting the freighter variant and cockpit environments, while the A350 Airliner update addressed a wide range of systems refinements including FMGS behaviour, navigation logic, and display consistency. The A340 Airliner update similarly focused on operational accuracy, with improvements to flight guidance, FMGS functionality, and navigation handling, alongside various visual and audio refinements. As always, these updates are driven heavily by community feedback and reports, and we’re grateful for the continued support as we move into the next phase of refinements across the fleet.'

Bah, I got the A350 five days ago! 🤣

I already own the A300 and the A350 and I'm wondering myself if a -25% sale on the A340-300 is too good to pass or not?

Not a lot of A340-300 flying anymore and the classic part in my VA is quite poor for the A340-300. 

I'm wondering if I should jump on it or save the money for the A340-600 but this version is even less used than the A340-300.

How is the Ini A340-300? I'm happy with the quality of their A300 and A350 so I assume the A340 is at least in the same category.

Hum, difficult decision ahead

I find the A343 a real blast. 4 hairdryers you just can’t beat it. 
 

I love doing retro flights in it. 

Personally I like the A340-300 better than the Aerosoft A346.

Not many flying, but lots of historic carriers to choose from and I typically sub it in for real flights it used to do, or would plausibly do today.  

And if you don't find current routes just use Flightsimdispatch to give you a historic one.

Why limit yourself like that? Its a simulator. Fly from anywhere you want to anywhere you want.

I'm with you.  I like that the 300 is a bit of a dog.  More historic carriers.  Works with home cockpit hardware.  Better cockpit textures.  I admit the 600 hand flies nicer and I like the sounds better.  But the 300 is more enjoyable to me right now.  

The image that is in the first post from Mr. Lamb of Inibuilds L-1011-500 even though Eastern never had -500. It looks Nice!!!, Hopefully they'll do the L-1011-1 with Eastern Livery.

"the Synaptic A220 is steadily progressing towards release-candidate readiness. We’re just about ready to enter the final stages of testing at the end of the month."

 

I'll believe it when I see it.

Even though technically the Eastern livery is wrong, I don't mind seeing these classic liveries on the Tristar -500.  I would love to see a Court Line even though they never flew the -500 either.

However, I wonder if iniBuilds are teasing us here, and wonder if the 'work in progress' is a -1 or -100/200.   Although the one in the picture sure looks like a -500.
