Seems only a few years ago a 3D virtual cockpit was considered groundbreaking. Now, every aircraft needs to have a fully modeled and ultra detailed cabin with flushing toilets and opening overhead bins. How times change...

$90+ was the norm for most high fidelity add ons back in FSX and P3D too.

Not a great start for me; I haven't even gotten off the ground yet. First attempt at a flight started with an immediate CTD. Last two attempts, the aircraft lost connection to the Fenix.exe.

Interesting point. Because originally, the Bluebird 757 was set to be light on system depth and aimed at the more casual user. Wonder if PMDG did have the bones of a high fidelity 757 laying around just waiting to be finished, and made Bluebird an offer they couldn't refuse? Guess we'll never know.

They asked me to try that too, still no luck. The aircraft has been grounded since the BFU update for me. Frustrating as I really miss having a narrow body Airbus to fly around. I'm really banking on V3 solving the issue. If not, I'll have to pass on the NEO which is something I really don't want to do.

I'm one of the handful of users that expirence a bug with the cockpit displays that essentially makes the aircraft unflyable. Starts with the PFD going crazy which often leads to the aircraft itself totally loosing control. Had extensive chats with support with no solution found. Hopefully, this update fixes what ever is causing it.

I did read in their Discord that an update for the visuals is currently in the works. Apparently, coming sometime after the FS2020 version. It's a great aircraft if you get past how some of the textures look. Lots of extra features in the G5000, and the sounds are great too.

It has to be said, flight simming now would not be where it is without iniBuilds. After a bit of a rocky start, their product range now really is amazing. Looking forward to the A350v2 too.

V1 Simulations has been streaming it over the last few days. He's seems pretty impressed and gave it a 9 out of 10. The aircraft looked solid apart from a couple of L-NAV issues. I'm definitely a little tempted to give it a shot.

I guess that's pretty much it for the -600 apart from Mahan Air in Iran and maybe a couple of government operators.

The A350 is easily my most flown aircraft in MSFS. Can't think of any real negatives, apart from it being a little tough on performance at times. But if you can run the A380 ok, it shouldn't be a problem. There's a mod over on flightsim.to to get the taxi cam working in the A350 and A380. Although I've yet to try it myself.

Absolutely. If it detects freezing conditions, the FO will ask if you would like to leave the flaps up for taxi. If it's 30c plus, the flaps are indeed left at 1 with the A320 series. You can also tweak It to match your favourite airlines sop. Let's not hijack this topic anymore. Feel free to dm me if you would like to discuss fs2crew any further.

But, that's what I'm saying. I don't want to be doing the FO stuff myself. An A380 has never been flown with a single pilot and never will be. Doesn't matter how automated it is. Thing is, cockpit procedures are very scripted by design. If nothing goes wrong, every flight should follow the exact same patterns with the same flows and checklists all being done at the same time. FS2crew does always ask if you would like the belts turned off. If it's rough, just ask the FO to turn them off later.

I'm guessing it's just the LVFR A380 that's been updated. It's definitely not the Inibuilds A380 in the video.

Actually looks quite impressive. A multi-crew simulation is something that I think is really overlooked. I can't fly an airliner like the A380 single pilot. Totally kills the immersion for me. I always use third-party software like Flight Sim First Officer or FS2Crew. To have the system built in is pretty cool.
