They’ve confirmed MP purchases can be transferred to the inibuilds manager.

The wait for it to be available on the iniManager will not be as long as other products.

Seriously? That's unsatisfactory.

Jeff, what sort of GSX integration were you expecting? I had read somewhere there will be a GSX profile coming. I assume jetways will also dock on the A220. Were their special features you were after? I am guessing something like progressive fueling etc. Am I right? Just curious.

I also read that if you purchase from MP, there's no receipt or invoice provided. Is this true? I have never purchased from MP so far, but if that is the case, this would be reason for me to hold off until the A220 is in the Inibuilds Store. I do like the Inibuilds Manager. Its easy to use and easy to manage the updates that come through.

I do receive an email in my MS account associated with the MP, although it doesn't identify very objectively the object of the purchase...

Each to their own, live and let live and all that, but I don't understand the aversion to using the Marketplace.

I use it occasionally, not exclusively, but will have no issues using it for the A220 then transferring over to the iniBuilds store when the time comes, just like the A340.

Because it’s Marketplace only for now, and all files being encrypted, seated pax will not work with GSX. Same thing happened with the iniBuilds L1011. To this day, seated pax are not available for that aircraft.

We cannot mod nor fix the quirks of new product releases due to marketplace file encryption. Instead we are at the mercy and stuck between a rock and a hard place, with certain super slow non attentive addon developers and marketplace file vetting process to finally release a patch update.

Meanwhile on other 3rd party addon stores we get the non encrypted addon version in which files can be easily accessed and talented modders can immediately upload fixes to 3rd party addon sites like Flightsim.to etc etc. Marketplace would not be a problem if in a perfect world no one pirated payware or addon developers released fully polished and featured products.💡

I would not put inibuilds in the category of a "super slow or non-attentive" dev.
Regardless, you only have a wait a month or two for the product transfer to open. If anything, that gives a chance for the inevitable release-day bugs to get sorted so not the worst thing to wait.

Knowing how much the consumer base loves GSX integration with their products, yes it does apply Inibuilds regarding the L1011 in this case.

Thank you.

I avoid the Marketplace (MP) at all costs, but I did purchase the L-1011 on release day. I did so knowing that all I had to do later was take a screenshot that I OWN it in the MP library and put in a transfer ticket when it became available on the iniManager. The entire process was done in less than 10 minutes.

I hate the MP for the fact I had purchase issues in the past and trying to get ahold of someone from Microsoft to fix it was a pain in the butt. I also dislike the product update process. With the L-1011, iniBuild would push out an update and I had to wait the following week to update.

Against my standing rule, I will be purchasing the A220 when it releases. From what they are saying, it will be the same transfer process as the A340 and L-1011. The nice thing about the transfer process, iniBuilds provides you with an actual receipt for your purchase. The price will say $0.00 as it is a free transfer. They also said the wait time for it to arrive in the iniManager will not be that long as past products.

Unfortunately, this is the future when it comes to iniBuilds aircraft. I’m sure the A380 will be the same.
