Yes it has had a lot of updates, but it’s still full of bugs and lots of systems errors which is really disappointing for how much we paid for the aircraft and how it was marketed to us. It’s not complaining. Some of us have spent an absolute tonne load of our own time reporting stuff to try and help the aircraft be better, and that will benefit all users. It’s great that there is a v2 in the works, and it will be interesting to see if this stuff that has been reported since release will be finally fixed.

Oh, dyslexic me... 110.05 is not 110.50... My bad. Disregard, then.

Hi, Definitely a great suggestion and a nice quality-of-life improvement! I’ll forward this to the team for future consideration. Thank you!

Is this still planned or am I missing something? I am on 1.0.8 and I don't have scroll wheel acceleration.

It would be very helpful if there was a click spot to have the Flight Engineer set takeoff and climb thrust. Many developers have done that type of thing for TOGA and some have one for autothrottle disconnect. My first job at my airline was 727 engineer. For takeoff the Pilot flying would advance the throttles to near takeoff thrust then would call for me to set the actual takeoff thrust. Then on climb out the PF would call for climb thrust and I would set that. The joke on the fleet was that the 727 had voice activated auto throttles.

Hi, This was the best available reference material the team had access to when developing the aircraft. If you’d like to see other variants represented in the future, I’d suggest bringing it up on the official MSFS forums. Thank you!

That must be close to the only 707 in the world that has the windows configured like that. I haven't seen another one, and I've been looking for a good bit.

Inibuilds actually DID respond this past weekend and it appears as though they're actively looking for a fix for this. Which is fantastic cause it stinks. LOL And I agree with the Term A/C updates already needed. The new terminals are more or less done at this point and very, very lovely. Hope to see them in the sim soon...live traffic is already using the spots as American utilizes those gates frequently!

As much as we’d love to do that, ultimately, the decision comes down to Microsoft/Asobo. You could always bring it up with them on their official forums and see what they have to say! Thanks!

You’re on a roll, haha! I’ve logged this with the art team for further investigation. Thank you again for taking the time to report it!

Appreciate the quick reply — helpful to see! Perhaps an update to the normal maps could make it clear the windows are just plugged in the front. I'll be working on that! Would of course love to see an updated version that has windows down the right side, but totally understand if that isn't possible. Thanks so much.

Hi, Thanks for pointing this out! I’ll forward this to the art team for further investigation. Thank you again for taking the time to bring this to our attention!

Hello, This has been logged, and the team is currently investigating the root cause. Thank you!

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us! If you’ve already reported it on the Synaptic Discord, hopefully they’ve logged it as an issue and will be able to investigate it further. Thanks again for your time and support!

The flight path on my EFB disappears every time I cross the date line. Or moves to the side of the map as shown in the picture.

Hi Sam, Glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the 707! Our art team had access to and used this aircraft as a reference during development. I’ve attached some photos for reference as well. Hope this helps, and thanks again!

Hi everyone, I'd like to pass on an observation that I already reported on the Synaptic Discord as I'm not too sure where sound feedback is more placed more appropriately. I've noticed a little issue with sound positioning inside the cabin. There's this nice feature that exterior sounds, especially the packs, are audible inside the cabin when the doors are opened. However the positioning of these is a little odd as you can hear them in the rear of the cabin when door 1L is opened. Small demo in the video: https://i.imgur.com/f34XoTS.mp4 As a side note: Packs could also need a little boost in range (not volume) on the exterior. In real life, you can easily hear the loud pack sound around the aircraft nose for example, but in sim, it's were the falloff already makes them inaudible. Can you take a look? Cheers!

Hi everyone, during walkaround I noticed these two areas where there's no backfaces and you can see right through the entire pylon. Maybe you can patch those up real quick? 😊 Cheers!

Hi everyone, I just spotted a small spot on the wings during repaint where the mesh is broken and there are two holes. These are located just above the slat rail openings of the 4th outermost rail on both wings. Maybe some duct tape could help. 🙂 Cheers!

Hello! Seconding zbrainlezz's comment, and still feeling a bit confused... Are there any historical references that show a 707-320C/combi with this particular asymmetric window configuration — windows forward of the wing leading edge on the left side only? I've done some fairly deep searching online, including through the Boeing photo archives, and haven't been able to find a real-world airframe with this configuration. The historical -320C references I've found seem to indicate a different arrangement. I'd be very interested to know what reference material the art team used for this configuration. If there is a historical example, I'd love to see it. If not, and this doesn't correspond to an actual 707-320C configuration, it would be great to see the model updated for historical accuracy. Thank you for all you do — this is a fantastic addon. Keep up the great work.

Hi Carl, Thanks for your help with the troubleshooting. I’ll forward this over to a team member with an Xbox and have them test it. I’ll report back once they’ve had a chance to investigate. Thank you again for your time and help!

I re-downloaded and reinstalled the A350 through the in-game Marketplace, then completely restarted MSFS 2024 and tested again. Unfortunately, the issue remains exactly the same. I’m using Xbox Series X. In Cold & Dark, SimBrief import works normally, and Flt Ops Sts and Load Sheet load correctly. However, FMS FPLN Request stays on “Pending Request” for about 10–20 seconds and then returns without loading the flight plan. I have also tested both SIMDEFAULT and NAVIGRAPH NAVDATA sources, with the same result. Could you please investigate whether this is a known Xbox-specific issue?

Hi Carl, Sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues with the A350 on Xbox. My first suggestion would be to uninstall and reinstall the aircraft through the in-game marketplace, as this can sometimes resolve issues caused by corrupted or incomplete files. Let me know if that helps. Thanks!

I’m using Xbox Series X + MSFS 2024 + iniBuilds A350. The problem occurs when starting the aircraft from a Cold & Dark state. I follow the normal startup procedure and import my SimBrief flight plan through the EFB. Flt Ops Sts and Load Sheet information both load normally. However, when I perform FPLN Request on the FMS, it remains stuck on “Pending Request” for about 20 seconds and then automatically returns to the previous screen. The flight plan is never loaded. I have repeatedly tried various troubleshooting methods, including re-importing the SimBrief flight plan, restarting the aircraft, reloading the flight, sending the FPLN Request again, switching through CAPT OIS/Center OIS and then importing again, as well as other related settings and procedures. I believe I have already tried pretty much all of the obvious troubleshooting steps. I have also seen other Xbox Series X players on YouTube using this function successfully, so I’m wondering whether this could be related to corrupted A350 data, cached data, saved aircraft data, or an Xbox-specific bug. If anyone knows how to completely reset the A350 data or fix the FPLN Request getting stuck on Pending, I would really appreciate your help.

Hopefully they can track down the issue. Personally, I haven’t experienced any issues with this behaviour, and I’ve completed around 30–40 flights now. Could a keybind possibly be causing the issue? Do you have any keyboard keybinds assigned to roll, yaw, or any other flight control inputs? Thanks!
