April 7Apr 7 'iniBuilds TriStar Airliner V1.0.1 Update 🚀 This is the first update for the TriStar Airliner! Following the incredible response since release, we want to say a huge thank you for all the support and feedback so far. Version 1.0.1 focuses on refinement, stability, and improving the overall experience across the aircraft. The update brings a wide range of fixes to core systems, including improvements to autopilot and flight director behaviour, VNAV/PMS performance, ILS logic, and engine/pressurisation systems. Numerous cockpit interactions and annunciations have been corrected, alongside better handling of spoilers, autobrake, and environmental systems for more consistent operation. On the visual side, this update refines cockpit and exterior details with fixes to animations, lighting, weathering, and multiple livery corrections, as well as the addition of interactive elements like operable lavatory doors. The PFB has also been improved with better brightness control, more accurate takeoff data handling, and added functionality, while the sound environment sees further polish with corrected callouts and improved behaviour. As always, we’ll continue to monitor feedback closely, so please keep it coming! This update can be downloaded via the In-Game Marketplace.

April 8Apr 8 Haven't picked it up yet, as wanted assurances that the flight dynamics while on approach weren't as wonky as the Ini A340s. From videos, handling looks ok, so with a couple more updates, I'll probably cave. 😄 Bill 😎FS2024 • Currently in 'GA mode' : A2A Comanche 2024 & Aerostar • Black Square C208, Bonanzas, Barons, TBM850, Dukes • COWS DA40 & DA42 • FSW Legacy, C24R Sierra & C414 • Echo Falco F8L • FFX HJET, Visionjet and P180 2024 • Got Friends A32 Vixxen • FSReborn Sirius TL3000, Sting S4 and Piper M500 • Flyboy Rans S6S • Skyward DA50RG • SWS Zenith CH701, RV-8, RV-10, RV-14, PC12 • Milviz C310R • Air Foil Labs Bristell B23 TrackIR • BeyondATC • PMS GTN Payware • RealTurb • Axis & Ohs • FS Realistic Pro9800X3D • RTX 3080 • 64GB DDR5-6000NPPL licence holder in the UK

April 8Apr 8 Good gravy. I bought the thing on day one and due to RL events haven't even had time to light the engines up and get it off the ground, only played around with the INS stuff. And here ya come along a week later with a yuge update. Nice work! "That's what" - She

It flies fine during the take off, climb out and cruise phase. But when there is a high drag / low speed configuration (eg final approach) I just personally find it turns to absolute mush. It wallows around, failing to hold track, even in no wind and with no control inputs. Full aileron deflection is painfully lethargic (I get that it's a very large, heavy aircraft, but other such planes like the PMDG 777 and even Ini's own A300 don't have this issue). I quoted a video the last time this came up, from a real world A340-300 pilot, who found the same thing and commented that, in his experience, the A340 tracks pretty tightly in such configurations and control deflections are more responsive than in the the Ini A340. I actually copied and pasted the [Aerodynamics] and [Flight_tuning] sections from the ToLiss A346's flightmodel.cfg file, into the Ini A340's file and it was a vast improvement, but not perfect.

April 8Apr 8 I updated mine yesterday and it came through with the most extreme odd cockpit and interior. It was a miss-mash of purple and pink. I'll post screens as soon as I can. I had to uninstall it from the Marketplace and physically reboot my PC then I reinstalled it and now it's fine. It was a psychedelic nightmare. Jack Sawyer

I’ve seen this in multiple addons across multiple simulators. “Suboptimal”, for sure. usually it can be mitigated by flying faster and/or less flaps. Even further suboptimal for strictly proceduralized aircraft like airliners. Stuff like this is what’s led me to mostly swear off having the same aircraft in multiple sims.
April 8Apr 8 Tried an Autoland at KBOS 33L after the update. Hooked up on the ILS but it flew the approach offset parallel to the right hand side of the 33L Rwy, about 75 yards from the Rwy RHS edge. AT appears to be working better, able to get speed under 245 kts on approach, but had to use flaps to induce a speed drop. It seems to carry a lot of momentum on the approach. Back to the drawing board. Anyone actually achieved an Autoland yet? T45 PS: I should add I am not using the INS or PMS. its all flown on the Autopilot. Edited April 8Apr 8 by Treetops45
