All Activity

Not sure if I'm missing anything here, I've repeatedly started up the aircraft from cold & dark performing all FE functions manually. But each time I'm unable to set the stabilizer trim to the T.0. perf calculated value such as 3.69 (per my latest attempt). Despite all 4 hydraulic systems pressurized, I'm unable to set the stabilizer trim. When I rotate the trim wheel to the target setting, it slowly rotates back to 2

Considering the price of the current 5090, all VRAM demanding aircraft are honestly unbearable and unrealistic.

Just did a few circuits at KMCO testing this out. Lights out on spoiler handle = DLC observed in sim, lights on = no DLC. Spoilers did not deploy on either DLC being active or not. Spoilers still did not deploy when autobrake was manually disarmed, nor when brake pressure was 100%. Spoilers only deployed with reverse thrust using F2 keybind.

Licensed A&P here. The only circumstance that would cause visible smoke/vapor to be seen before fuel flow is the engine was previously wet motored on a cool engine (fuel lever on, spar valves open, fuel dispersed through injectors, NO ignition). Residual fuel will pool in the exhaust and combustion chamber and on next start attempt, regardless of wet, dry motoring, will you see fuel vapor out the back. I have been meaning to create a bug report about this where the sims TGT is rapidly decreases back to ambient immediately after shutdown. There doesn't seem to be any residual heat in the engine where IRL combustion and turbine case sections, as well as the core of the engine beneath the cowlings, remain hot to the touch for several hours past shutdown. It's not uncommon for an aircraft to arrive to the gate at 9PM, have a boroscope inspection slated to be done and not be able to perform it until 1-2AM where combustion case temperatures have dropped below 50C. We have specialty tools where we can take jetbridge air and blast it into the exhaust to accelerate cooling, but only if we're located at the ramp still. I say this because if there were to be any residual fuel left in the cases, that fuel will evaporate very quickly, before the next engine start attempt no-doubt. The above video is a great representation of older style fuel system before the days of HMU's that more efficiently meter the fuel to the combustion cases. Modern day engines will produce near zero visible smoke on a standard day. You can view my video of an HMU change for a trent 7000 here where the preservation oils that burn off are about as close that you come to visible vapor. Even comparing an engine nearly 5 decades apart, the principle of fuel turning to visible vapor has not changed.

Checking in again...

Same method I've had to take, my biggest gripe being parking brake. My bravo's only bind in MSFS for the far left rocker is parking brake on/off. SPAD just for whatever reason doesn't play nice with the 3/4 different options available to map with, but yet the MSFS control always works. The L10 however is a bit different than most other jets, and is the most painful by far to map with. Currently requires the use of custom entry H events to map most functions, but these H events will be viewable with spad once SU5 drops.

Interesting. I wonder why I've not been able to get some SPAD bindings to work with any of iniBuilds' aircraft then... At this point, though, I'm tired of messing with different bindings trying to get them all working in SPAD, so I'm going to stick with what I've found that works, which in this case is a mix of SPAD and MSFS bindings.

Good day all, When I fly A350 on MSFS2020, i found that the Oxygen Test Button is not completed on Captain side, there should be three buttons i can press but there’s only one. However, it’s correct on the FO side. Additionally, both sides are good on MSFS2024. So would you please fix it? It’s a small issue but makes sense to players who want to make realistic operations like me 🙂 Yours Charles

Hi, I haven’t used the A350 for a while but a few days ago I flew it again, first time I loaded it crashed but the second time all good, however now it won’t load at all, I have tried different variants and liveries, all downloaded via inimanager and cleared the wasm a few times as well as reinstalling a few times but nothing seems to work, every time I load it I get to the main menu ok but then when I pick the gate and load in it crashes around halfway through loading. Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it. I’m in fs2020 and tried to load into ini EGLL, also won’t work for ini OMDB but I haven’t tried for anywhere else, Many thanks, Felix

Buying this addon was the best purchase ever! Without doubt the Tristar was the most beautiful aircraft ever built. I loved working on these amazing birds and miss them! Anyway, I recently bought a new PC and have reinstalled all my addons including the L1011 but now I cannot access the cockpit. I've tried the usual 'shift C' etc but stay in the outside walkaround mode. The only way I can get into the cockpit is to spawn a flight on the runway then taxi to a gate and proceed from there. What am I doing/ not doing? I've looked at so many articles etc I can't see the wood for the trees!!!

Hi all, I've been wondering about this for a while but, I absolutely love the Inibuilds A350. It's a fun plane to fly and play around with. Seeing that the Airbus A350F is supposed to enter service in the later half of 2027, I was wondering if Inibuilds will develop the A350F as well at some point since the A350F is similar to the A35K but it is slightly shorter in length. Inibuilds I don't think has commented much on the A350F development and I think it would be really cool to have the freighter version as well because I am mostly into cargo ops. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

You are definitely not alone. The Simbrief profiles overpredict the required fuel burn relative to the iniBuilds Tristar and actually in this case, it is the Simbrief profile that needs correcting. For example, I once dispatched between EGLL and TBPB with around 30.7 tonnes of payload, and the Simbrief dispatch release said that I needed over 90 tonnes of fuel for a flight of just around 9hrs long. That's almost 10 tonnes of fuel burn per hour when the actual Tristar only burns around 7.5-8 tonnes per hour on average. So that's an overprediction of around 10-15% per flight by Simbrief. My own conservative estimates suggest that from now on, every flight will need a fuel factor bias of around M10 to M15. EGLLTBPB_PDF_1776325525.9d4b1b23.pdf

Thanks @richboy2307. Of course for XSX we don't have control over those settings so kinda stuck with what we have. I've just tested a few more flights, even at default airports and the same story with poor frames which we didn't see before the update. Also to your point on liveries - I'm just using the default inibuilds one. But performance is absolutely fine externally. No-cabin variant feels like a good option for us so hope that's a possibility soon, but it does seem like at least for 1.01 things were all fine here. Will wait for 1.03 and report back. Cheers

Hello everyone, when I fly A350 today, I find a weird area on the EFB. When my mouse is on it, there’s something that I can slide according to the indicator, but no idea what it is. Can anyone help?

I've found the opposite, I've been fine with every plane except the L1011

I completely agree with bebis83. The Hunter is just very difficult to fly. It constantly pulls to the left, and it's almost impossible to keep the nose straight. You really feel it in your muscles after a few minutes. The controls are extremely sensitive. Unfortunately, this really detracts from the flying experience.

Same here.

SOLVED , INI PHNL ISSUE WITH SIM UPDATE 4

Q: Fuel management , I am assuming 2L should always have their pumps on and 2R should be off for long haul till needed to overflow into the crossfeed tanks? "Ini please bring us a classic airport like KSTL with parked TWA aircraft ? or the old Denver airport ! 🙂

hi guys im having issues with the freewere ini Milwaukee airport reason I ask is my jet ways keep disappearing and reappearing off and on when I load the sim Msfs 2024 for example i load the sim jetways are not there then i exit then restart the sim the jetways are there i think its some type of glitch if anyone can help me please let me know thanks sincerely captain simms 99

I believe the INS's bug out as soon as ANY type of electrical switching occurs. Which I don't believe should be the case. They have a battery I believe for exactly this purpose. To keep its status during transient power changes.

Please test it without the Navigraph Navdata Addons (remove both!). If it works, it is most likely the "package_order_hint" problem. At least the symptoms match exactly.

BoeingSpeedbird, thats the problem I have but on PC, this is very weird. And ShrekFS, did you have this before and if yes, how did you fix it?

Console users currently cannot use the aircraft at all as there is no power to the aircraft - batteries don’t work and not able to connect any ground power unit.

PC users are having WASM issues including myself
