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.

It’s also very well done. See the end of this video (around last 2-3min) where I used the replay and watched my own landing from outside. From around 16:10 after I finished the shutdown it shows you how the thing works. https://youtu.be/KffXPQdhxog?si=nyKf2laK8WF5LA-p

Yep, it is now on the MSFS version of the A340-600. You can save it at whatever point you like. I save one at TOD so that I can fly the full approach (or in case the weather changes to a different runway), and one at final so I can practice landing. At the moment the only issue that is already mentioned by Toliss is that the weather isn't saved (due to MSFS issue), so if you do load it another day and the real life weather has changed then you might end up with a tail wind. But if you just have time to do one flight like I did today - I had a bit of spare time at the end and I re-ran the landing scenario 6-7 times just to get the hands on time, along with testing out the autoland

So true. All the other types of saving and reloading in the past have been very clunky and usually results in the plane being out of config in some way. With this one it’s absolutely brilliant. Loving the innovation these guys are bringing to the sim.

This Save Situation function is an absolute amazing feature to have on the Aerosoft/Toliss A340-600 Previously I rarely use autolands at all - it would always feel like a "waste" of a flight if I let the plane land itself. With this function and the smooth user friendly way it reloads the situation, each landing can be done as many times as you like. So I guess the key question now becomes... who did it better LOL. Me: Autoland:

Yep. I held off on this for quite sometime, thinking I’m more of a modern airliners person. This thing blew me away. First time a heavy aircraft actually feels heavy. I also highly recommend the extended simulation with failures. My previous landing was fairly heavy. When I started the thing up today, I had a tire low pressure and needed a tire change! Absolutely brilliant.

Same issue Australia...

I am waiting for the Aerosoft/Toliss 346. I have the iniBuilds A350 - pretty to look at superficially, but don’t dig into systems is the way I treat it. I have a feeling that their A340 is of similar quality - excellent for the visuals and general use, but definitely don’t dig deep or you’ll be disappointed. There are bugs on the A350 that I’ve reported at least 10 versions ago and still pending or not going to be fixed…

True to life systems depth definitely 777 hands down. PMDG is known for the quality in this regard. I don't have the iniBuilds A340 but I do own their A350 - it's absolutely eye candy to look at in terms of interior and exterior modelling, but some system depth could be improved upon. Looking at their forums it does seem a lot of the systems issues are carried over across their airbus range. Some of this can distract a fully immersive experience once you start to scratch beneath the visuals, which is why I have not purchased the A340. I await the Aerosoft/ToLiss A346 - which I hope will have much more systems depth for an A340.

I got a new Winwing URSA MINOR stick now, it’s night and day to the Thrustmaster. I’ve been having the Z-axis twist (which I use for tiller/nose wheel steering) wobble for a while and I’m sick of needing to open the thing and twigging it… it’ll be better for a while then it worsen again.

It’s not the actual “detents” per se though. You can still use something similar to set up the range where you have idle thrust to full toga, and reversers if you have it.

Typical PMDG … I’m on a thrustmaster airbus, took me a while to figure out how to calibrate it to the 777 for MSFS24. Seriously need to have a look at how every other aircraft including the free FBW A380 does things - every plane has a throttle detent set up!!!

Yea i'm seeing the loyalty discount too at $30USD which is around $45AUD... I own only the -700 for FS20. Still not decided to buy the -800 or not for FS24 even at this price. To be fair I'm just sick of the same aircraft, for the last 15 years to be honest. Release something new and they'll have my money... Will pass for now.

Need more new planes… the 737NG gets a re-release every time there is a newer simulator. This is the first time I’m going to sit this one out, I’ve owned the thing since P3Dv2 and for every subsequent simulator since then.

I’m on a 7800X3D / 4090 and the FBW runs well at 1440p. This is my performance with TLOD at 200 and OLOD at 120, no AI traffic as I mostly do either just me or VATSIM.
