What is WASM? The WebAssembly Module (WASM) is a container for running programmes written in other langauges (eg C/C++) that is then converted to native code ahead of time (as DLLs) during first launch (WASM Compilation). This helps improve performance for subsequent uses but causes longer load times on first launch. See for more info: This improves security of the sim and portability of projects across PC/Xbox. In case of issues, only the WASM crashes instead of the rest of the sim along side with it. This is why the sim and some functions may continue to work, however other systems and displays that use WASM on the aircraft become unresponsive or "fre…

The iniBuilds A350 Airliner for MSFS 2020 and 2024 uses Web-Assembly Module (WASM) to run its code in the simulator environment. As with all other WASM aircraft, the simulator needs to compile the necessary WASM files on first launch. However it will be much faster to load on subsequent launches. In case your sim crashes or you exit to menu during this initial WASM compile, please see the guide below to clear your WASM folder and try again:

Before your first flight, you must set your preferred navigation database (Navdata) via the On-board Information System (OIS) third-party options page which can be reached via FLT OPS MENU > OPTIONS > 3RD PARTY. (Click to enlarge image) Sim Default Navdata The A350 Airliner will use the internal 'Sim Default' navdata as the default option, similar to all our previous airliners for MSFS. This means it will update whenever the sim navdata is updated by Microsoft, but also that the data may be affected by installed Scenery or other 3rd Party packages (e.g. Navigraph sim base via Navigraph Hub) installed in your sim Community or Official folders. …

The Navigation Display (ND) on the iniBuilds A350 Airliner can display terrain and obstacles information when the TERR ON ND pushbutton is pressed. This function relies on a Terrain Database which is downloadable via the OIS - 3RD PARTY OPTIONS page. (Click to enlarge image) Why is this required? This process helps ensure terrain data integrity by minimizing risk of corruption whilst streaming the package. This process reduces overall bandwidth usage whilst streaming the package. When is this required? This process only needs to be done once when you first launch the A350 Airliner after your purchase. The process does not need to b…

The iniBuilds A350 Airliner simulates the realistic boot time for the On-board Information System (OIS) by default. During the boot-up the computer that powers the OIS is turning on and running through its system checks. Change OIS Boot Time You can change the OIS Boot Time via the OIS Settings page (FLT OPS MENU > OPTIONS > OIS SETTINGS) REAL: Set by default - can take up to 10 minutes. FAST: Can take up to 5 minutes INSTANT: Will boot up instantly upon availability of GPU/APU power.

Note: On the iniBuilds A350 Airliner (v1.0.0), please make sure that if you change SID/STAR/APP or RUNWAY that you have your ICAO of your airport shown on the F-PLN page with the expected runway. Example if your flight plan page shows EGLL but you have inserted a runway and STAR along with ILS then reselect them until you have EGLL27L shown on the F-PLN page, this goes for all airports. If not done the aircraft can possibly not work out the VNAV path and cause a WASM crash.

If your aircraft is not following the flight path correctly, please check your MSFS Assistance settings and ensure that the options highlighted below in red below are set to OFF.

Throttle Calibration Page (OIS) Before you fly, you must calibrate your throttles via the On-board Information System (OIS) display Options > Throttle Calibration Page. (Click to enlarge image) Reverser on Axis Option Verify whether your hardware has a reverse thrust on an axis or not then choose the appropriate option. 'REVERSER ON AXIS' is set to NO: The bottom most position of your hardware axis (0%) will be assignable to the IDLE detent position. You may have to bind 'HOLD' / 'TOGGLE REVERSE THRUST' sim control binding to an additional button / input on your hardware to use reverse thrust. This option is recommended…

Our aircraft are best used with linear sensitivity settings for your axis, with deadzones as necessary for your hardware. To set this, go to your Settings > Control Options > Sensitivity Settings and set it up as shown below.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Brake To Vacate (BTV) function optimizes the autobrake deceleration on landing in order to reach the selected runway exit point/ manually entered landing distance. The system takes into account the selected runway condition/braking action in its calculations. Once armed, the system works autonomously to delay braking in order to reduce brake wear, optimize the runway occupancy time (ROT) and improve passenger comfort. SETTING UP BTV In order for BTV to function, it needs information such as your stopping target stopping distance and runway condition. This information can be provided by 2 ways: via Exit Selection on the …
