Tebs Traffic Audio
I like it. There's another couple of apps on this site which are excellent: Vantage cameras which is a new and super easy camera app. The other is Any Airline Connector which is a great app for commercial flying - gate calls, pilot communication, boarding and disembarking music, safety and other inflight communication.

Inibuilds Embraers and Boeings?
I'd be looking for a 737 Max 10

iniBuilds A380 ...
Great job Inibuilds. On a lighter note on the upper deck there is a feature in the lounge panel Music System Auto which you can turn on. Nice feature. It doesn't appear to be controllable in the 3 zones though. Can I put my own music files somewhere? Nice lounge music but I'd like to mix it up. Also, will the zones be implemented at some point?

iniBuilds A380 ...
Beautiful plane. Inibuilds are the best modelers. Passenger cabin is exquisite. Lighting controlled from the panels is great. You can even pipe in music from the panel in that beautiful lounge with the bar on the second level! FPS is very good. The unique aspect is that it doesn't matter what level of detail you get in the passenger cabin it does not exist until you open the cockpit door. So fps is great. Nice liveries available. If you've flown their A350 you will know how to fly this plane. Just a great addition to the passenger fleet for MSFS. Only issue I had was that I couldn't engage AP1. However I pressed AP2 and it engaged. Doing a flight from EGLL to CYYZ.

IniBuilds A380 Live Stream
It's a buy for me. Have several A321s, 320s,319s from different developers. Just because there is a free one and one from LatinVFR no reason not to pick this up. I love their A350.

Aerosoft A330 Neo released
I think people are being a little harsh here. Last review I looked at was XP72 i think he's called. This is expressly noted as non study level. However, it has a decent passenger cabin (absent mid and back galley and absent washrooms) and the cockpit is better than what I've seen in the Latin VFR (at least pre-v2 of their neo). Textures are average i.e, won't drain your frames. It has a very nice EFB with simbrief integration, performance data etc. all transferable to the FMS. All the buttons and switches you would usually use are good to go. XP seemed to like the handling of it while hand flying. Might pick this up. I've just loaded up Latinvfr 330-900 neo v. 2. Cabin is better though you can tell they are sacrificing higher resolution for fps. Pretty even on the cockpit, I think the EFB is better on the Aerosoft. These two planes are very similar. Some of the paint jobs on the Latin are problematic such as on one of the Air Canada liveries at the tail end it notes A330-300! When you look at night externally you can see the seams in the plane at the front. Plus there are peculiar alarm sounds which go off eg a no smoking flashing light. Needs polish.

Ok I've straightened it up. Nothing to do with whether I want to stream it or not. It's my choice. I just disabled the 2020 and reinstalled the one that indicated 0.0.0 and now it shows 1.0.6 with all my liveries.

Welcome to the Synaptic A220 - Releases next week on the MP
What is going on here? I had a notice for update to 1.0.5. I download and install on marketplace. After install it it still shows 'update' even though it also shows 1.0.5. So I did it again. Same thing. Instead this time I exited msfs. Loaded back up only to see that all my liveries are gone AND it now states MSFS2020 'unverified' but shows 1.0.5. LOL! Then it shows as 'streamed' even though I had downloaded the plane. Then it shows Synaptic A220 on another section as Disabled 0.0.0. Is this some kind of a joke. Very poor management.

Numerous flights with this plane now and the more I fly it the better I like it. Love the FMS, the use and placement of screens, checklist implementation . What's remarkable about this narrowbody is it will do transatlantic flights like between CYHZ and EGAA. As noted above I'm sure there are some issues to be fixed but frankly I've flown several ILS flights without any problems. Calculates VPATH beautifully. This really has become my go-to plane.

Honestly I've never encountered such a freeze up on PMDG 2024 version and i have all their 777's and 737s 7-9.

Welcome to the Synaptic A220 - Releases next week on the MP
I had a flight from LIRF to OTHH air time is 5:38 with enroute burn only 11,355 kg so very fuel efficient plane. Problem was about 2.5 hours into the flight it froze. Had to call up taskmanager and end task for msfs. Too bad. Obviously still bugs but this one I can't explain.

Welcome to the Synaptic A220 - Releases next week on the MP
Something that needs to be looked at: if you have your APU on and shut off the Ground Power at source (rather than on the plane) you will get an FMS fail and it will go blank with the fail. I just recycled, turned the GPU on at source then shut it off on the plane and the FMS came back with the full flightplan and data. I have had perfect ILS landings with this plane. One thing I noticed - I manually tuned the ILS but the question is: would there be an autofill at some point because it doesn't do so when you program the arrival on the FMS? Also, the behaviour on landing is odd as the plane swivels or rocks in a rather odd fashion after touchdown. Also there are stuttering issues with this plane.

Welcome to the Synaptic A220 - Releases next week on the MP
Well I have had a number of flights with this plane and full props to it. It is fun to program and fly. In fact I love the FMS. Very granular. The checklist is great. Anyone having an issue with the autobrake switch? Mines locked into OFF. Maybe there's something I'm missing. Also on the EFB I have not been able to get it set for a landing. I always get red notations warning above runway length, ldg requirements not fulfilled, non-authorized landing - doesn't matter how long the runway length is. I manually put the vspeeds in the FMS using simbrief performance page. Looking forward to updates on this plane as it is definitely a great addition.

Some further issues. Had it set in settings to pause at TOD. It didn't. Looks like it miscalculated and I had to quit the flight. Could have hand flown it in but if it missed at a key point was not satisfactory. This reminds me of the CRJ issues. Definitely a work in progress. At least it didn't CTD and freeze like it did 4x's before.

Welcome to the Synaptic A220 - Releases next week on the MP
Well fifth time is a charm. Finally got it up and flying. Regarding crashes it's not an answer to these well it doesn't happen to me therefore it doesn't exist. I have a significant number of planes, Fenix, PMDG, Inibuilds etc. etc. For example, the only problem I ever had on Inibuilds 350 is WASM crashes. Rare to ever get a crash on Fenix or PMDG. I've watched several videos on quick starts so once it was programmed and up and flying nothing yet. However, I am having flashing screens which are persisting. Also, what's with the numerous discontinuities? It seems to repeat certain waypoints and you have to delete them?

Welcome to the Synaptic A220 - Releases next week on the MP
Tried to fly three times and freeze up first time then crash the second. The third had everything programmed got one engine going and it crashed to desktop. Had to call up task manager twice. Gonna wait for updates as currently unflyable.

iniBuilds Chicago O'Hare - Trailer
This is a beautiful airport inside and out. Their other detailed EGLL there is something neat. On one of the terminals using GSX you will see the passengers going through the jetway - the one that has nice pictures as they pass into the glass sided jetway. But what's really neat is that when you enter the terminal the passengers are actually coming down the escalator from one of the areas and entering the gate entrance through the jetway to the plane. Easter egg!

Aerosoft is a big scam
The plane is nice when working. Latest update I had a WASM crash. I deleted the files in the WASM folder to rebuild. Then all seemed good programming the flight until I got it up in the air then the AP would not engage. Not matter what I tried. Shelving it again.

iFly 737 Max version 1.1.0.0 is out now
Yes. Opened up the task manager and it's clearly running. However, i closed it and then ran the plug-in again and voila. Thanks. Will the plug-in load up when the plane loads up or do we have to load it after the plane loads in?

iFly 737 Max version 1.1.0.0 is out now
I de-installed and re-installed the update. First, the EFB is not displaying. Just the power cord! Second, none of the switches, buttons, controls work. I can't even open the cockpit door. If this is a wasm issue please advise what I need to do with that folder. I loaded up the plane the first time and it did this. So I left MSFS 2024 then loaded it up again and loaded the plane. Same issue. I subsequently deleted the WASM folder (why is it still in the MSFS 2020 folder?) and re-loaded everything but again the same problem persists.

iniBuilds next airports?
MMUN please. The current one is pathetic.

Aerosoft releases update for their A346
FMS froze here with the update. Am I to assume this is a WASM issue?
