Thanks for the reply. I was really only asking because I figured with your professional background, and well explained concerns, it might be received better by them. Thanks!

Silly question - have you submitted these concerns on their official forums or through a support ticket?

I'm glad to see someone else is dealing with the same crashes I am. I 10000% agree with you that just because it doesn't happen to everyone doesn't mean it exists. We both have high end systems, so no reason for it. I made a discord thread regarding the CTD issues.

May be unpopular for some, but this has been one of the worst purchases I've made. I appreciate that Synaptics will eventually get there, but for me, this plane has had frequent CTD issues and at completely random times. So far I've attempted 7 flights and 5 of them ended in a CTD. If I had other planes doing the same, I'd be more suspicious that it was my hardware or settings. Last week I did multiple long hauls with the PMDG 777 and inibuilds A350 without any issue. Even did a 6 hour flight with the iFly MAX without any issue. I reinstalled the plane at the request of the devs and deleted all folders related to it. Still ended up with a CTD when nearing TOC. What's more suspicious here is each time there is a different exception code in event viewer. With all of that said, I'm likely to be out $66 here and will most likely not get the refund back that I requested, but for me, this is my last Synaptics products I will purchase. If I don't get my money back, maybe down the road I'll try it again, but this product isn't stable for me. I'm running FrameGen x 3 and using AutoFPS as well... the performance of the plane wasn't an issue really for me and only the random crashes.

As of this moment, I've shelved it until the next update. I haven't had any issues with a CTD lately. Did multiple long hauls this week in excess of 12+ hours without any issues using the A350 and 777. Today I took the A220 out and during the taxi, I had a CTD. Didn't think much of it. Reloaded the flight and made it in the air. Went into the routes page to delete a discontinuity and was quickly met with another CTD after the massive performance drop that others have pointed out. Specs are in my signature, but it's nothing to sneeze at with a 4090, 13900k, and 64 GB RAM. Running FGx3 and AutoFPS.

Yeah, I've seen it too. It'll be interesting to see everyone blowing through localizers on VATSIM next week

Couple things we've seen from the streams today. Not deal breakers, but some stuff that I think we need to see if it was operator error, a quirk of the RL plane or an issue with the add-on. Each streamer seemed to have a problem where the nose had a hard drop onto the runway. Looking at some of the marketing material, you can see it there too. According to CPTCanada, someone in his chat reported it was a normal characteristic of the real aircraft. I'm curious if that's accurate. At least two of the streamers I watched had issues where the AT did not reduce to idle and/or disconnect after touchdown. Several ILS issues... some of this I think was operator error. The ghost lines appeared and it doesn't automatically switch over to LOC. Even after manually switching it over, at least one streamer I watched had issues with it following the LOC correctly. It nailed the GS, but the LOC was way off. Some random performance issues that were difficult to tell if it was the plane, scenery, computer, or all of the above. I believe CPTCanada said there was one bug with the RTE page they were already aware of causing a strange performance issue. Anyways, just what I happened to see today. Visually, the plane looks pretty solid and the sounds are great.

I'll help you out - Navigraph has already done the hard work and answered all your questions and then some which probably includes a bunch of AVSIM users. https://navigraph.com/blog/survey-2026

lol, I thought it was a seagull. That was a funny little easter egg they added.

Bill, the conversation was over for him, but I'll gladly start it back up for you. You continue to validate my original comment that at least one person would put me on blast. Too bad I didn't make bets. I find it amusing that you're perfectly comfortable calling products like GSX and Navigraph ridiculous, but when I say this add on is ridiculous at a $10 price point, suddenly that's unacceptable. That is the definition of hypocrisy. You're criticizing me for expressing an opinion while doing the exact same thing yourself. My original comment even said, "to each their own, but for me..." That's called an opinion. I didn't "feel strongly" about anything until people started twisting my words and implying I don't think developers should be paid. I never said that, and I never implied it. I mean, my first post was literally a sentence so how strongly could I have really felt?? Let's also be clear. At no point did I say I hated this add on. Those are your words, not mine. You're the second person in this thread to argue against something I never said. If you actually read my original comment, I specifically said I would support it as a free add on. I simply don't think it offers enough value to justify a $10 price tag. That's my opinion, no different than your opinion that GSX and Navigraph are ridiculous. What this exchange really highlights is the toxicity that exists in parts of this community. Instead of accepting that someone has a different opinion, some people feel the need to twist their words into something they never said because it's easier to argue against a position that was never taken. In your defense, this isn't unique to the flight simulation community. It's become a problem throughout society. Too many people are incapable of accepting a differing opinion without turning it into a personal attack or rewriting what was actually said. Ironically, that's exactly what you and the last guy have done. I'll end it by making my position crystal clear: I don't hate the product. I don't hate the developer. I absolutely believe developers who create quality products deserve to be paid. I also believe not every product rises to the level of payware. In my opinion, this does not rise to the level of payware. I do not believe this product offers a ton of value to our hobby, but as it has been pointed out several times, the developer is free to charge whatever they would like. I'll continue to vote with my wallet. Continue spinning this however you'd like, but those have been my positions from the very beginning. This is the end of OUR conversation as well whether you reply or not.

Twist my words however you want to support your argument, but you’re debating a point I never made. I don’t see $10 of value in this product, and that’s my opinion. You’re free to disagree, but being upset that someone values something differently doesn’t make them wrong. I guess my original “prepare to be put on blast” comment was pretty spot on. I stand behind my original comment. It's ridiculous to expect $10 for something like this. Conversation is over.

Interesting that you had to change what I said to make your point. I never said or even implied developers shouldn't get paid, nor did I say I expected it for free. I said I'd support it as a free mod, but I don't think this particular product is worth $10. Big difference.

Also a dog lover here... "Charlie" the Chocolate lab and never once thought it would add some type of immersion to have him in the plane. If this was a free mod, I'd completely support it... but to ask someone to pay $10 for it is ridiculous.

To each their own, but for me anyways I see this as a complete waste of money and adds no value to the sim. ::Stands back and prepares to be put on blast by at least one person::

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

Ha- I did the same except not a full flight. I uninstalled FSDT ORD from the marketplace and loaded up ORD. First thing I noticed were a bunch of floating signs. Afterwards I realized there were duplicates. Went back into the marketplace manager and realized it reverted after I uninstalled it to "streamed". Completely disabled it and now it's good. Good riddance another FSDT airport.

@DAD @Cognita @LRBS

I had dabbled with the A380 previously in 2020 and 2024. It wasn't all that amazing but functional. Just downloaded it now and doing a quick flight. I had some conflicting keybinds on the Honeycomb Bravo that I needed to adjust otherwise the engines would not start. Overall, the performance for my system is amazing. I'm running the DLSS enabler mod for 3x FG on my 4090, and getting 110+ fps on the ground when it's locked at 117 fps. The systems seem to behaving so far. Still doing my short 2 hour hop to see how it is when I land at VHHH. At the end of the day, it's a super steep price of free... so just test it and see if you like it. If you don't, you're out a couple hours and press the uninstall button.

Absolutely low effort, low quality word not allowed on the marketplace. Glad they removed it! Let’s hope they won’t allow them to resurface as another name. I also hope this is a warning to other similar devs how this won’t be tolerated.

They are not

Completely confused by this post and the misleading title.

No information other than this post, but it looks like Taimodels is releasing KMCI tomorrow on the inibuilds store. Interesting to see that this is getting almost no attention from either inibuilds or Taimodels. I enjoyed their KBZN, but it's usually a hit or miss with them. 1 DAY LEFT! Kansas City International Airport (KMCI/KCI) lands on the iniBuilds Store TOMORROW! ✈️ 🏟️Home of the FIFA World Cup 2026 🏢Brand-new terminal ✨Highly detailed modeling Set your reminders and be ready for takeoff! 🛒Available tomorrow on iniBuilds.

Watched the video of the Autoland they posted and can't say I was terribly impressed with that particular part of the plane. I know this is nit picking and admittedly not something I used terribly often, but the plane lost all of its energy about 10' too high and just plopped down. Talking with Steven on discord, he seemed to think it was possibly more of the head movement, but after watching it numerous times now, it just looks like it flared early and dropped.

I was running the stock airport prior to this and didn’t have any issues. I know @Wise87 was running Imaginesim and I don’t think he was having any issues with their version.

A few things I'm still struggling with the Phenom... 1) The sensitivity, even after the update is still too much. It seems if you land firm in a crosswind, it has the tendency to throw you side to side, even if it's a light crosswind. 2) I've read all the literature surrounding the AC system, but I still for the life of me don't understand how I'm up at cruise, with the shades closed, and still can't cool the back down lower than 76F with everything on high and the AC set low. I've verified all of the maintenance is good to go and I've seen several others complain of this. 3) Passengers... with the M500, it was pretty straight forward to please the passengers, but with this new system, it's frustrating to see some pax with a 100% satisfaction and two others at 35% because of how their coffee was handed to them... something I can't change. The M500, if a pax wasn't satisfied, it was clear what the problem is, but with this new system, it's almost impossible sometimes and you just have to give up. I love the products Raul makes and this is a solid product, but some of this stuff is annoying.
