April 14Apr 14 iniBuilds TriStar Airliner V1.0.2 Update 🚀 With continued feedback from the community, we’ve pushed ahead with another round of refinements to further improve the TriStar Airliner! Version v1.0.2 is now live via the In-Game Marketplace, delivering an extensive set of fixes and additions across systems, art, sounds, and the PFB. This update brings significant improvements to autopilot and flight director behaviour, VNAV/PMS logic, ILS functionality, and overall AFCS stability, alongside numerous corrections to engine, fuel, pneumatic, and cabin systems. On the visual side, you’ll also find optimisations for VRAM usage, improved animations, lighting corrections, and additional immersion touches such as engine startup smoke. The PFB continues to evolve with new functionality including OFP re-download, brightness automation, and expanded auto flight engineer logic, while sound fixes address missing alerts and audio consistency. As always, we really appreciate all the feedback so far, this update tackles a huge number of reported issues, and we’ll keep the improvements coming. Be sure to check out the latest version below and enjoy your flights with the TriStar Airliner! ✈️ This update can be downloaded via the In-Game Marketplace.

April 15Apr 15 Very much appreciate the attention to detail and rapid efforts of the team on this one! 🤙 "That's what" - She
April 15Apr 15 Took off from Kathmandu to Hong Kong and it feels much better. Lots of little bugs are gone, and the flight model feels a lot better in the climb at high altitude, it feels like an older airliner running out of power when it’s heavy at high altitude. Well done! Hopefully some more to come.

April 15Apr 15 Well, it's a very complex aircraft, and they are trying to model as much as possible, to please all sorts of users, from those who like to have detailled pax cabin including the toillets to those who prefer to "feel" the aircraft when hand flying it, or use the complex systems of the real thing as close to reality as possible. OTOH, judging from my other purchases, 350 and 343, they continue to support and update both, and a couple days ago I was able to complete a full flight in the 343 and it did feel a lot better in various aspects including, but not only, the "feel" of fbw + wide and inertia prone airliner 🙂 Even their free contributions to MSFS, the default buses, are rather detaileed and nice to use, and sometimes I start them although I own the Fenix 320 and the 3 FSLabs 321s.

Despite marketed as a 1.0 release, I get the impression ini is practicing a sort of pseudo "early-access" model. For example, GPWS (A fairly simple expectation for 1.0 release) is on their roadmap to be added, why it's not their on release is puzzling to me. They've added 3 INS units but there's no switch or anything to switch to the different units nor is remote mode even implemented (On their roadmap), nor is there any failures modeled so there's very little reason to even program the other 2 INS units. The Pneumatics & temperature simulation is still all over the place, not a deal breaker but come on. The automatic F/E would not turn off the bleed air shutoff valve, so you would be stuck their wondering why your engine start valve is wouldn't open. It's great that it's fixed 2 weeks later, but this is simple A-B testing that should've been discovered before release. I wholeheartedly appreciate how receptive they are to updating their aircraft but honestly if release was delayed another month or two there would be a lot less to fix and less me feeling like I'm not using a polished product like I'd get from JustFlight or PMDG (These are just example, there's more devs I didn't mention). Furthermore, they seem to have a roadmap to add various things that you'd expect from a 1.0 release, further proving to me that this was intentional. We've seen this with the 350 and 340 as-well.

It's the reason why they bring their aircraft to market so quickly. It was the same with the A350 and the A340. Although the A340 was a bit better on release. I bet that simply from the fact that they could share system code, since many of the underlying Airbus systems work similar. Edited April 15Apr 15 by Farlis

Yep and with all the same basic level bugs that have been reported since release and still unfix after so so many updates. But instead we get vanity features like the HUD for the A350 which is completely unusable because all the indications are incorrect.

A complete and utterly stutterfest! If You want a fantastic looking L-1011 to go out and visually look at in your hangar. Buy it! If You want to fly it with joy and plesure. STAY AWAY!!!

Absolutely no stutters on my system with it, even flying into Haneda and Kai Tak.
