As I said on another source, the aircraft has to be exceptional for me to buy an A350 again.

A lot of simmers already have the Inibuilds A350. It's far from perfect of course but it also include the A350-1000 and is available for msfs24 while Rhodiumcode is developped for msfs (they plan a msfs24 version but when? Will this be native or just a port?).

Add to this that the project still need a lot of development time and is far from ready. By the time it is ready, a few more simmers will have bought the Ini. So the remaining market will even be slimmer.

Good luck to them but as I said, it would need to be far better than the Inibuilds for me to buy another A350. There are so many others aircrafts, already available or probably available by the time this A350 will be ready, for me to buy before buying an A350 again.

Sadly, one more time it showcase the fact that small studios will have a difficult time to compete with powerhouses like Inibuilds. Inibuilds strategy is far from being nice but lethal: develop a product in a few months, make it ready quickly after announcing it and continue the develpment with gazillion of patches in the next two years. A small studio can work on the same project, needing 3 years to complete it and be overtaken by Inibuilds before release. Probably what happened to Rhodiumcode 😞

The thing is, how would we know?  Even actual pilots of the same jet disagree on things like the A320.

No plane in a video game is ever going to be perfect, but this one is nowhere near a Phoenix or a Toliss—there’s room for a high-fidelity 350.

Yeah, I agree with you. I also think iniBuilds may release version 2.0 of their planes eventually, where version 2.0 is a higher fidelity “study level” version, and sell this to the market again, when all the Airbus and Boeing planes have been completed in MSFS. It’s another way for them to make another round of sales.

I consider the flightmodel feedback from the community to be rather irrelevant, given that a large proportion of respondents to a popular survey assume they can land a real A320 lmao

Why. We have no proper A330 / A330 NEO and already have a truly great A350 simulation. Oh well.

I’m interested in this one, but I’m probably in the wait-and-see camp for now. For me the real test with a long-haul airliner in 2024 isn’t just the exterior model, it’s whether the FMS/VNAV side feels solid enough to fly a normal IFR leg without too many workarounds. If they get that part right, it could be a very good addition.

I’d give these guys a chance. Don’t do a iniBuilds thing where 20+ fixes later the bugs reported from the start are still there… 

Rhodiumsim - please focus on the systems and flight modelling. You get this covered then the product will speak for itself. I can already see it features the “runway ahead” part on the PFD, that’s already more than the iniBuilds. Keep at it.

To be fair, if they started development three years ago, then they can hardly be blamed for choosing an aircraft type that had never been done seriously before.

We have one already

I suppose that's what the folks in the marketing department where you work must be thinking.

I don't work at any marketing departments.

Go troll elsewhere.

High fidelity still got a way to go judging by whats reported.

Well, yes. I can't argue with that.
