  5. A350 Airliner V1.0.9 Update 🚀 Version 1.09 has taken us some time to release as it’s a very significant update addressing and improving some core areas, whilst adding some larger new items. This update to the iniBuilds A350 Airliner, refining core systems while layering in new levels of visual and operational realism. This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. A major VNAV overhaul dramatically improves vertical profile adherence, constraint handling, and adds long-haul features like Constant Mach Segments (CMS), Continuous Descent Approach (CDA), and Estimated Take-off Time (ETT), giving pilots greater control and realism from departure to arrival. Flight handling also sees notable gains with updated yaw damping and rotation laws, improving crosswind performance and pitch behavior on takeoff. Beyond the systems, this update introduces dynamic icing and snow effects, GSX integration for de-icing, and hot brake disc visuals—all enhancing immersion across both FS20 and FS24. The ECAM system has been further expanded with dozens of new alerts spanning fuel, icing, braking, and thrust logic. On the audio side, hundreds of refinements improve cabin ambience, engine dynamics, touchdown feedback, and interactive controls—bringing the soundscape closer to the real aircraft. Under the hood, performance has been optimized by cleaning up and restructuring core code, reducing overhead and ensuring smoother operation, especially during high system load scenarios. Combined with fixes to autopilot behavior, FMS logic, ECAM alerts, ND rendering, and countless small interactions, v1.09 represents another leap forward in simulation depth and polish. VNAV We have completely overhauled the VNAV system. VNAV now better follows the calculated VNAV profile, not skipping height in turns, meeting speed limitations and arriving at altitude constraints correctly. In addition, we have added some new features in the FMS. Estimated Take-off Time (ETT). The ETT is the time reference used for flight plan predictions in the pre-flight phase. When the take-off phase is initiated the predictions transition to current aircraft time. Constant Mach Segment (CMS). allows the flight management system to maintain a specific Mach number between two waypoints, optimizing fuel efficiency during cruise. It's activated on the VERT REV page and requires entering the start waypoint, desired Mach number, and end waypoint. This feature is particularly useful for long-haul flights like Atlantic crossing following the NAT tracks. To utilize CMS, the pilot needs to enter the following information: Start Waypoint: The initial waypoint where the CMS segment begins. Desired Mach Number: The specific Mach number the aircraft should maintain within the segment. End Waypoint: The final waypoint where the CMS segment ends. Continuous Descent Approach (CDA). The CDA is designed to provide the flight crew with cues (Pseudo waypoints for Decel and Flaps) to decelerate the aircraft to be at VAPP at 1000 ft AGL in landing configuration. It helps optimize the descent phase by reducing level-off segments and using idle thrust whenever possible. Functionality: Computes a continuous descent profile. Provides pseudo-waypoints on the ND and F-PLN pages for flap extension, landing gear deployment, and deceleration. Prioritizes vertical profile guidance# Flight Model Yaw Damper: The yaw damper efficiency has been increased removing adverse yaw and improving roll handling characteristics further. The rudder area has also been increased to improve crosswind take-off and landing handling. Rotation Law: The pitch trim handler has been adjusted for better handling qualities during all phases of rotation. We have now eliminated the aggressive pitch up on stick release caused by keeping the side stick back pressure too long and adjusted the blend logic to change to a pitch rate. Stability and performance improvements With this update we also took the opportunity to streamline some areas of the code base and remove unnecessary or duplicate variables being used. This has resulted in a performance increase and smoother experience for our internal testing teams. Dynamic Icing and Snow Effects In FS20 and FS24, we have integrated icing effects that forms on the wings, fuselage and horizontal stabilizer which form either dynamically over time based on precipitation rate and type or can be manually incremented/decreased for visual effect via the EFB as a standalone implementation. Furthermore, if you use FSDreamTeam’s GSX add-on, the icing can be eliminated as part of the de-icing procedure on the ground when required. And exclusively for the FS24 version, there is a snow layer that forms over the aircraft when you spawn in at the gate in a cold and dark state and the weather conditions are met. This layer will dissolve over time as the aircraft is powered up from its cold and dark state leaving only the ice layer underneath. Hot Brake Disc Effects Under heavy braking during various scenarios, your brake temperature might reach a temperature of beyond 350 °C. In temperatures above this value, you’ll start to notice that the aircraft’s brake discs glow red-hot and begin to emit smoke depending on the ambient conditions and present aircraft movement.

Purchase Link: https://inibuilds.com/products/inibuilds-spartan-7w-executive-msfs * Price excludes VAT The late 1930s were a period of fast innovation and change in aviation. With the threat of another war looming, aircraft manufacturers were pushing the limits of what airplanes could do, from the engineering methods to the performance and of course, the designs. The Spartan aircraft company, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma took to the challenge and produced the stunning Spartan 7W Executive. Produced between 1937 and 1941, the Spartan was built for the elite of its time, serving businessmen and corporations alike. Of the 34 made, only 20 remain today, whilst less than half are still airworthy, the rest can be found in museums, restoration projects or in storage. What truly sets the Spartan 7W apart from its competitors is not just the rarity or luxury - rather the way it is the epitome of an entire era of aviation. The late 1930s was a time when air travel was just beginning to enter the realm of public functionality and access. For the wealthy few who could afford it, owning a plane like the Spartan meant being on the forefront of both technology and culture. The aircraft was and is a design that is viewed to be ahead of its time, setting the standard for what an executive aircraft could be, it went on to influence designs for years to come. Even today, it remains one of the most sought-after vintage aircraft for collectors and aviation enthusiasts alike. One of these enthusiasts is the proud owner and operator of Spartan NC 17634, Jim Savage. For nearly 18 years, Jim has cared for this incredible aircraft, ensuring it remains a living, flying testament to the craftsmanship of the Spartan Aircraft Company. Jim’s Spartan has been featured in aviation magazines and at major aviation events, becoming a symbol of his dedication to preserving the legacy of these remarkable machines. His insights were invaluable in the development of the iniBuilds Spartan 7W, ensuring every detail, from the design to the sound, remains faithful to the real thing. Jim has been a huge help in allowing this aircraft to come to life within the simulator, allowing us to conduct an extensive site visit to his hangar, capturing every last detail of his Spartan. Every inch of Jim’s aircraft was carefully documented, from the curves of the wings, to the craftsmanship of the interior. We knew that to capture the true spirit of this iconic aircraft, every detail had to be accurate. Therefore the team carefully studied the aircraft’s components, noting the unique combination of polished metals, vintage woodwork and beyond. However, visuals are only part of this aircraft, a large part of the Spartan 7W’s character comes from the roar of that radial engine, a marvel in its own right. To ensure authenticity, we used top-tier audio equipment to capture the raw, visceral sounds of the engine firing up, revving and beyond. Every sound and detail you see in sim is accurate to what we saw in real life, we’re extremely proud of the final product and are grateful to be given the opportunity to gather these references. Going deeper into the details, with Jim’s guidance, we were able to document the original instrumentation, allowing us to recreate both the authentic cockpit layout, as well as our own interpretation of a modern day retro-fitted cockpit and interior. Jim was able to share some invaluable insights into how the Spartan 7W handles in different flight conditions. His firsthand experience flying this rare machine helped us ensure that the flight model truly reflects the feel of the real thing. Our time at Jim’s hangar gave us a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and history of this incredible aircraft. It was more than just gathering data—it was about immersing ourselves in the world of the Spartan 7W. Every element we recorded, from its design to its sound, was carefully translated into the simulator, ensuring that when you fly it, you’re not just piloting a plane, you’re stepping into a living piece of aviation history. To make the Spartan 7W feel as real as possible, we teamed up with the experts at Echo 19 Audio Production. These guys are incredible at capturing the true sounds of real aircraft and bringing them into the world of flight simulation. With their help, we were able to record the raw, powerful roar of the Spartan’s Pratt & Whitney radial engine, from the startup to the steady hum of the propeller in flight. Echo 19’s attention to detail is unmatched—they went out of their way to make sure every sound you hear in the sim feels just like it would if you were standing next to the real thing. Whether it’s the engine firing up or the subtle whine as you cruise, everything has been captured with care and precision. We’re so lucky to have worked with them to bring this level of realism to the Spartan, letting you truly experience the sights and sounds of this classic aircraft as if you were right there in the cockpit. In addition to its authentic 1930s design, we’ve added some exciting modern touches - such as multiple cockpit variants and a luxurious cabin that fuses the 1930s with 2024. Want to customize your experience? The included iniBuilds EFB allows you to fine-tune your flight settings and tailor the aircraft to your style. Thanks to Jim Savage’s passion and expertise, Echo 19 Audio Production and the dedication from our team, we are proud to bring the Spartan 7W Executive to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, preserving this iconic aircraft for years to come. iniBuilds Team ❤️

  10. Hello all! After a busy and exciting end to 2024, we started 2025 with an all new simulator, which opened the door to some amazing and new possibilities! At the tail end of 2024 we were able to release Brisbane airport, the first scenery exclusively released for FS2024. Since the release of Brisbane, we've subsequently released the completely remade London Heathrow Premium, as well as 5 MSFS24 Enhanced versions of some of our most popular destinations! 2025 continues the busy trend with a whole whole host of planned new releases and updates to look forward to. We've already seen the release of our remade Heathrow package has been very well received and extremely popular, which makes us so happy as this was a great project to work on! Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has allowed us to explore a whole new level of detail both in modelling and in ground accuracy which has vastly improved the immersion factor - we hope you've noticed a difference with these! One of the biggest challenges with MSFS24 has been the implementation of tighter controls over LOD vertex limits. Whilst this is an interesting hurdle to face, as it affects the visual quality you see, it definitely helps with performance, so we want to ensure we give you the best middle ground here! Working with the Microsoft throughout last year, definitely helped us diagnose some of these issues earlier on in our development cycles. Through this time, we used it to develop a workflow that adheres to the new limits much more closely than before. We're now fairly comfortable with these new limitations though there's always more to learn. The result is a better balance between quality and performance, even on lower end systems. Our personal favourite is the upgraded ground texture system. This allows a much higher level of fidelity and variance in ground surface types, legible markings and other features such as drains and access points. We had fun creating a series of custom textures for each airport project which you'll find in our upcoming releases! With the introduction of the new sim, we now have two quite distinct development streams - porting and new content. New content is fairly self explanatory but our enhanced airports are where things really start to get interesting! As you're all no doubt aware, our FS24 Enhanced airports are what we would once have referred to as a port but with the addition of several updates to make full use of the updated engine. For these projects, we start by completely updating the ground poly. This is not just a matter of rebuilding the old project but rather, every ground texture, line, marking and stencil is replaced with new custom textures. Then we add our new custom texture details. Next we review all the models to see what works and what doesn't. This involves updating light settings, reworking LODs and making changes to terraforming and vegetation - all of which have fundamentally changed in the new sim. Finally, we add any new features such as walkable meshes for interiors and passenger handling! The result is, effectively a new, native version of the airport which has been fully optimised. It's very satisfying to see the airport, particularly the ground, to be more as we intended it in the original iteration. So far; Palm Springs, Ibiza, Innsbruck, Johannesburg, Dubai & LAX have been given the enhanced treatment with even more in production at the moment! The future is with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and as such we will not be developing any more NEW airports for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. We will continue to support our current 2020 library. iniBuilds New York John F. Kennedy (KJFK) Enhanced for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Today we release our next Enhanced scenery product, the highly requested - New York John F. Kennedy for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! We're so excited to bring you this one, with a brand new trailer showcasing it in all of its glory, be sure you check that out! As with our other enhanced scenery products - all of the items mentioned above have been addressed and fine tuned for this release. New York John F. Kennedy Enhanced takes full advantage of MSFS2024’s features — with completely overhauled custom ground textures, improved lighting, updated models, and enhanced terraforming and vegetation around the airport. Every taxiway, stand, and apron has been rebuilt to deliver a better and more immersive experience. Given JFK’s scale and complexity, we’ve also packed in a wide range of performance options within the scenery configurator, giving you the flexibility to optimise the airport to your system and achieve the best balance of visuals and performance.

What's in our pipeline? Again it's a busy time for us, with five projects currently being worked on, some of which you will all hear about very soon! We've got a big release schedule for the rest of 2025 and we're excited to gradually bring these to you. One of the most recent projects we announced, was our London Gatwick project, which has been slowly cooking in the background and we're excited to bring you a few more visuals from this scenery today! As with all of our projects, this one is very exciting for the team, however we're making sure it is as true to real life as possible, even working with current Gatwick staff - who have been providing some awesome references to the team! This project is moving into the final stages of the development cycle, which will include plenty of beta testing from our working group as well as the internal staff to make sure it is released in a great place! We also want to pre-apologise to the VATSIM UK team who will inevitably be inundated with traffic once it releases, we promise it's worth it... 😂 Once Gatwick is almost ready to release, as will most of our other sceneries, you'll start seeing some of your favourite streamers getting copies to stream and make content with, so be sure to keep an eye out for these! As you can see, the level of detail we're going won't disappoint - as always you can expect the standard iniBuilds features on this one, including an Official GSX Profile upon release, scenery configuration options and bespoke texture sets throughout! Now, moving onto our project after Gatwick... Which we want to announce today, drum roll please... Introducing, iniBuilds Doha-Hamad International Airport (OTHH) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! We've been wanting to do this one for a while, however there's been lots of construction which has made it difficult to ensure we get it right. With this construction now getting to the point where we can accurately see what is being worked on, it has allowed us to get the references we need! This scenery will be sold as a premium product and will include those premium features you expect to see. We won't go into too much detail now - however it is coming along nicely, with the team outputting some impressive models on a daily basis! So we'll leave you with a few teasers which showcases some of the highlights from this scenery! We want to thank you for your ongoing support, as always it is amazing to receive the level of support that we do, it truly motivates us to continue putting out some great scenery products for Microsoft Flight Simulator! Our Easter sale is still ongoing with some great deals from both ourselves and over 40 vendors, with over 500+ products on offer, there's something for everyone. Be sure to check out our store today and see if something catches your eye, most deals end 2nd May! Thanks, iniBuilds Team ❤️

  11. A350 Airliner V1.0.8 Update 🚀 This update brings a wide array of enhancements, fixes, and new features to the iniBuilds A350 Airliner. Key highlights include major improvements to the step climb logic for better long-haul performance, a comprehensive overhaul of ECAM systems and logic with realistic failure scenarios, and numerous fixes across art, sounds, and systems. As always, we've worked closely with real-world A350 experts to bring even more depth and authenticity to your experience. This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. Xbox Update: We are working very hard to prepare an Xbox build as soon as possible. We are currently going through testing and optimization so you can have the best experience possible. Step climbs We have expanded the step climb function as it was previously limited. Pilots can now enter an increased number of steps manually or via SimBrief import. Combined with the auto step climb feature fully optimum long-haul routes can be enjoyed with maximum virtual efficiency. Enhanced ECAM logic and additions The ELEC and FCTL ECAMs have had a huge overhaul with the assistance of one of our qualified A350 engineers. The failure states have been reviewed in detail and associated system failures and redundancies have been added where possible in the simulation. All failures can be triggered via the OIS which has also undergone a refresh in this regard with failure triggers being organised by ATA chapter.

  12. v1.0.4 of the iniBuilds A300-600R Airliner Premium for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has been released. This is a hotfix to resolve the art bug with doors causing liveries to not show correctly. This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. v1.0.4 Minor Art fix for doors (liveries should work correctly)
  13. iniBuilds A300-600R Premium V1.0.3 Changelog Items 🚀 Hello! Last week we did some fixes to the windshield behaviour that were affecting users and updated our liveries available for download via iniManager. With over 60 NEW liveries available to download via the iniManager - you won’t be struggling for choice! Some of the latest liveries include; Delta, Air Afrique, Alitalia, Singapore and many more! We mentioned a larger update on the iniBuilds A300-600R Airliner, which is now available and we have some more information on what we have done below! This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. The gear suspension limits have been tweaked to give the classic nose down look of the A300 based on community feedback. The nose has been lowered by approximately 2-3 degrees boasting a more authentic rotation feel and improved ground handling. Added custom engine windmilling effect and re-tuned animation to better reflect start up movement. The "N1 windmill" refers to the unpowered rotation of the low-pressure turbine and fan in the engine due to airflow. The animation does vary with windspeed. One of the key elements of feedback on this project was performance so both systems and art have worked very hard to improve this. We have refactored code components based on insights gained from the A350 project to reduce WASM crashes and improve overall stability. On art side we have multiple optimizations to 3D models, visual effects, and animations that have been implemented in the plane, aimed at improving performance for CPU-limited users. Specifically, we have reduced the 3D model node count, optimized the overall skinned bone count, and introduced several lighting improvements—all without noticeably compromising visual fidelity. Many of these enhancements were informed by our work on our recently released A350 airliner, where minimal performance overhead required a rigorous approach to optimization from the outset. In testing, we’ve seen an improvement of 5-10 FPS for CPU limited users. One new feature is the standby compass! The standby compass system is a traditional, analogue compass that provides a backup for navigating the aircraft in case the main electronic navigation systems failure. It offers a reliable and non-electrical source of magnetic heading data and is fully modelled in the A300 to deploy from its stowed position located in the area above the centre pillar. We have also added a custom brake heat visual effect added to depict the transfer of energy during rapid decelerations to the brake discs. ____________________________________________________________ v1.0.3Systems & EFB ⚙️🖥️ Fixed – Numerous system crashes Fixed: Sim freeze when selecting LFRS - ILS Y RWY 03, Transition NEDAN for VALA1C Fixed: Sim freeze when selecting LSZH ILS 28 Fixed: Code crash when entering STAR with transition Fixed: Default key bindings "ON" / "OFF" not working for light switches Fixed: WASM, freeze when entering SEC F-PLN Fixed: ND Blue Alt arrow shown in HDG/S & V/S descent along with yellow banana Fixed: INIT B - TOGW is not affected by TAXI fuel change Fixed: C&D Spawn at Gate - Dome/Emergency Light on by default Fixed: Sim freezes returning to main menu Fixed: Rudder trim panel knob operation reversed Fixed: When doing walk around and manually open cowlings you can toggle covers back on and then they are clipping Fixed: Flickering Enroute Map Fixed: Can't click on door handles to get to walk around in F can in PAX Fixed: Engines windmilling in wind Fixed: AP Disconnect switch missing sound Fixed: Gear suspension limits tweaked for a more realistic aircraft stance on the nose gear. 3D Art 🎨🖌️ Added: Standby compass implemented Added: "Glowing" hot brake disc effects Fixed: Improved overall performance for CPU-limited users through animation optimizations, node count reductions and visual effect tweaks Fixed: PAX cabin low resolution textures at night Fixed: Main landing gear clipping into fuselage on retraction Fixed: Cockpit reflection in aft toilet mirror Fixed: Excessive reflections on glass after SU1 update Fixed: All Doors slightly detached between interior and exterior when opening/closing| Fixed: Click spots for pitch trim and yaw damper switches inaccurate Fixed: cabin model issue when seen through the outside Fixed: External lights flickering Fixed: APU maintenance door clipping/not animating as expected Fixed: Main landing gear Tires remain compressed when airborne Fixed: Forward cargo gap and bulk door clipping Fixed: Wing flex causing flap track fairings to clip into flaps Fixed: Seat switches not married to seat mesh Fixed: Improved FS2024 windshield rain effects iniBuilds Team ❤️

  19. A350 Airliner V1.0.7 Update 🚀 Another week, another update! This will be the last weekly build (for the foreseeable future) as we work on longer term, more complex enhancements and features. More details below but some important highlights include enhanced SimBrief integration and commentary on some key issues and what is being done to resolve them! Xbox Update: We are working very hard in preparing an Xbox build for release as soon as possible. The product is currently undergoing testing and optimization processes so you may have the best experience possible. This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. New Ground Services Feature – Air Stairs We’re excited to introduce a brand-new ground services feature for the iniBuilds A350: integrated air stairs. Fully controllable via the OIS, these animated air stairs seamlessly deploy to doors 1L, 2L, and 4L, providing an immersive and convenient boarding option for all users, without the need for GSX. Whether you’re at a remote stand or simply prefer not to use third-party tools, these built-in stairs offer a clean and reliable solution. They are also fully compatible with airport airbridges. Enjoy a more versatile and visually polished ground handling experience—right out of the box. Note: This feature is only available when COUATL (GSX) is disabled. Introducing further SimBrief Integration We're excited to unveil deeper SimBrief integration in the iniBuilds A350 directly within the OIS (Onboard Information System). Say goodbye to switching between apps and windows — now you can plan your entire flight, from departure to arrival, right from the cockpit. With just a few clicks, create and access your SimBrief flight plan, review routing, fuel, payload, and weather information, and load it straight into the aircraft. It’s smooth, fast, and keeps you fully immersed in your flying experience. While we're thrilled to offer this feature in its current form, we will keep enhancing it as new options become available in the planner. Note: This feature is only available when a Navigraph account is connected via the OIS (FLTS OPS MENU > OPTIONS > 3RD PARTY page). Engine & Pitot Cover Logic Reintroduced We’ve re-implemented engine and pitot covers to boost immersion on the ground. The pitot covers now use the MSFS 2024 SDK pitot flag dynamic object, enabling dynamic visual effects. FS2020 users: Engine covers are available and can be controlled via the OIS. MSFS 2024 users: Enjoy dynamic pitot covers for an added layer of immersion plus interactable engine covers from the exterior walk around. Don’t forget to remove both prior to takeoff to avoid a bad day in the virtual office! The exterior cover updates are part of wider on-going work to make the A350 fully compatible with the MSFS 2024 career mode. ____________________________________________________________ v1.0.7Systems & EFB ⚙️🖥️ Fixed – FMA (Flight Mode Annunciator) bug: We’ve fully resolved issues related to the Flare, Land, and Rollout modes. A logic bug previously caused the Flare mode to not display correctly on the FMA, even though it was functioning in the background. This is now fixed and displayed correctly in all landing scenarios.

  23. A350 Airliner V1.0.5 Update 🚀 This week’s update brings further bug fixes as well as three significant key areas being the focal point of this week. We are working very hard in preparing an Xbox build as soon as possible. We are currently going through testing and optimization so you can have the best experience possible. This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. A350 GSX Integration A recent GSX update will cause issues with some behaviour. Please await an update GSX side for the changes in this build to take effect. The A350 now includes further GSX integration, delivering streamlined, realistic ground operations experience for both departure and arrival workflows. Automatic GPU Connect on Aircraft Spawn The external GPU will auto-connect when the aircraft is loaded, requiring no manual input. Built-in logic suppresses default GPU behavior to prevent duplication. GSX Payload and Fuel Synchronization Loading passengers and fuel via GSX will update the aircraft’s internal systems in real time, including weight and balance in the EFB and MCDU. This ensures consistency between GSX timings and aircraft configuration. Single GPU Logic Prevents the occurrence of double GPU connections by enforcing mutual exclusivity between GSX and aircraft-side systems. Auto Jetbridge Connection Upon spawning at a gate with a jetway, the airbridge will automatically connect to the forward door, eliminating the need to manually request it. Auto-Deboarding Trigger Deboarding will initiate automatically after engine shutdown and parking brake application, streamlining turnaround workflows. These updates bring tighter integration between GSX and the A350 systems, enabling a hands-off, procedurally correct experience from gate to gate. More updates and integrations are coming soon. A350 Equal Time Point (ETP) Functionality The iniBuilds A350 now features support for Equal Time Point (ETP) calculations, significantly improving accuracy in long-haul enroute monitoring. Dynamic ETP Calculation The aircraft now dynamically calculates the ETP between two reference points, aiding ETOPS planning and diversion strategies. This enhancement adds the much-requested support for oceanic and remote area operations, bringing the A350 simulation even closer to real-world dispatch procedures and inflight decision-making. Time Marker Aural Alerts [FS24 only for now] The A350 now features Time Marker Aural Alerts, designed to assist with procedural timing during various phases of flight. Flight Crew Aural Feedback Alerts are issued in a standard callout voice, non-disruptive to ATC or cockpit communications, and consistent with Airbus timing procedures. This enhancement supports procedural discipline and situational awareness, especially in high workload environments or during single-pilot ops in simulation contexts. ____________________________________________________________ v1.0.5Systems & EFB ⚙️🖥️ Addition - Add ETP function Fixed – WASM Crash EFIS_Gauge_Draw when loading ANF in NAV mode after IRS alignment on both ND at same time Fixed - WASM crash doing abeam to direct Fixed - WASM Crash on NG Data Update Fixed - Copy active SEC" has magenta dots in SPD field bug Fixed - On the Ground, the F/CTL SD Page should not display all of the data. bug Fixed - PFD speed tape alignment adjustments bug Fixed - FCTL SD page display logic bug Fixed - Chrono keeps going even during PAUSE AT TOD-pause bug Fixed - Add engine windmilling (bug) Fixed - Cruise below 10,000 issue with speed constraints bug Fixed - Step clb distance errors on FPLN page bug Fixed - Cursor flashing box behaviour and alignment formatting bug Fixed - S/C consistently moving in FPLN page bug Fixed - Wind Data insertion not correct bug Fixed - Cruise managed target during sel spd incorrect bug Fixed - Dual Engine Failure Scenario - Gears visually down but not actually down bug Fixed - DTO issue when the same wpt is in plan twice bug Fixed - Traffic diamond and altitude overlapping bug Fixed – VNAV - When you are at TOD and close to 1-2 miles and press DES it seems to CLB before it goes down the path bug Fixed - GLS EDDF Z 07R issue bug Fixed - SEC-FPLN should not go to TEMP as its not active bug Fixed - Vmax (Vfe) incorrect behaviour during retraction bug Fixed - Missing memos bug Fixed - Unlatched DES prioritizing path over speed bug Fixed - DES SPD LIMIT issues bug Fixed - TERR Does not turn off when TERR SYS set to OFF bug Fixed - WXR Does not turn off when WXR/PWS set to OFF bug Fixed - Incorrect DES MN/IAS profile bug Fixed - Rudder input not disconnecting the AP bug Fixed - C/L Menu - Add a RESET ALL button Fixed- ISIS QNH display issue when above 30.00 bug Fixed - ISIS coordinates bug Fixed - ISIS longitude decimal blocked bug Fixed - Approach checklist issue bug Fixed - MORA display flashing on CA ND Fixed- VD Dash seen past the destination Fixed – Some SND bugs Fixed - No grid mora in ND bug Fixed - RWY inside of VSD terrain bug Fixed - VD grey area incorrect in these ranges bug Fixed - Polar: track indication on PFD heading tape and ISIS bug Fixed - [v0.0.9] Cargo door opening/closing too fast Fixed - Master warning still not flashing Fixed - Unable to cancel master warning aural by pressing the MW button Fixed - ATHR disconnection by setting levers to idle missing indications Fixed - OIS TO PERF, MTOW PERF bug Fixed - Add Throttle Calibration reset button Fixed - Reset throttle calibration button Fixed - OIS GSX drop down menu needs a lot of double confirmation to get certain GSX functions accepted Fixed - Pack off take off, AIR PACK1(2) OFF appears with no time delay Fixed - ENG 1(2) BLEED OFF should show status inop Fixed - EFB Takeoff Performance: When I enter the takeoff weight using a , instead of a .

  25. A350 Airliner V1.0.4 Update 🚀 This week's second update brings significant improvements in system depth and simulation fidelity, addressing multiple key areas. Along with some key work done in art. One of the most notable enhancements is dynamic fuel temperature simulation, ensuring fuel temperatures behave more realistically throughout the flight. A key improvement in this update is that fuel temperatures will no longer remain stagnant over long flights. Instead, there is now some natural dynamic variation, with fuel cooling occurring at a more realistic rate and never dropping below -20°C. Unlike older aircraft, the A350 features heated fuel tanks, primarily located within the wing box near the fuselage. These tanks absorb residual heat from the airframe and hydraulic systems, preventing excessive cooling at high altitudes. This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. With update 1.0.4, we’re further refining the realism of the A350’s engine behavior, specifically focusing on accurate initial spool rates. The XWB engines on the A350 don’t react instantly to thrust input. Instead, they follow a realistic, gradual spool-up process, particularly at low power settings. This update ensures the engines respond more naturally when advancing the throttles from idle, accurately reflecting FADEC-controlled ramp-up times. Additionally, we've made a major update to the long-winglet model for the A350-900. After reviewing community feedback and conducting further investigations, we've improved the shape and profile of the long-winglet type using newly obtained technical and image reference data. This ensures a more accurate representation. Furthermore, FS20 performance has been significantly improved by optimizing node counts and refining the system for swapping cockpits. These changes reduce CPU load, resulting in smoother frame rates and fewer stutters, especially for users on lower-end systems. All liveries will need to be re-downloaded/updated via iniManager to work with v1.0.4 for FS20 and FS24 editions of the A350 as this was a necessary step to ensure the key fixes in this patch could be carried out at once. Key navigation system fixes include improving waypoint insertion stability, and fixing step altitude persistence after climbs. Additionally, the wind data logic and descent speed limit functionality have been refined to better reflect real-world operations. WASM-related fixes were also a major focus, resolving multiple crashes linked to TCAS activation, flight plan imports, and Navigraph integration. These improvements enhance stability and usability for all users. The team remains dedicated to continuous improvement and deeper simulation accuracy, with ongoing refinements across all areas of the aircraft systems. As always, we appreciate the community's feedback and look forward to further enhancements in the future. Stay tuned for more updates as we push for even greater realism! ____________________________________________________________ v1.0.4Systems & EFB ⚙️🖥️ Fixed - WASM*** EFIS_Gauge_Update crash fixed Fixed - WASM*** Crash on CPNY F-PLN IMPORT after changing data source crash Fixed - WASM*** Exception c000005 in gauge SND on SB Import Fixed - 2020 ***WASM*** MFD exception while editing SEC plan Fixed – WASM - Repeatable WASM crash, closest airports>DATA Fixed- WASM - Exception in Gauge MFD – TCAS Fixed - Navigraph_FunctionResult WASM crash Fixed - Navigraph commbus/function WASM crash Fixed - WASM crash when selecting FIX INFO and inserting runway Improvement - Dynamic fuel temp simulation Fixed - HDG bar missing on the PFD in Raw Data Fixed - Incorrect GD, S, F speeds in APPR page in some situations Fixed - Unable to DTO custom wpt Fixed - Insert to next waypoint causing navigraph function to die Fixed - NAV ACCUR UPGRADED should be white instead of amber Fixed - SEC copy active did not copy the flight number Fixed - Incorrect landing weight being displayed in some situations Fixed - Changing approach (but not inserting it) clears the minima in some cases Fixed - Able to have 2 menus open in FPLN page Fixed - THS trim "wheel" moving in opposite direction in some cases Fixed - Wind Data KNOT spd limit too small Fixed - Turning SPD knob while on managed speed issue bug Fixed - MFD Local Time issue bug Fixed - Swap active not carrying over the CRZ ALT bug Fixed - ENG SD COOLING text alignment Fixed - Incorrect colour coding in SEC plans Fixed - MFD Cancel noise missing * Fixed - SD Page formatting - CAB V/S Fixed - Unable to reselect SLS Fixed - No STEP DELETED message bug Fixed - Step Alt persistence after climbing to new alt Fixed - HSP = too far right bug Fixed - Fuel over waypoints when LB selected shows T bug Fixed - TMPY UNDO* prompt bug Fixed - PFD Vls line issue bug Fixed - DESCENT SPD LIM and the respective SPD LIM vertical revision entry is missing Fixed - Decel Point in F-PLAN - Does not activate approach mode/phase Fixed - FMA change box behaviour Fixed - FIX INFO pge not fully clearing data Fixed - FMS F-PLN/AIRWAYS page - if you enter a wrong WPT, there is no way to "reset" the field Fixed - LEG RNP visible in FPLN at the top Fixed - SEC PLAN TMPY syncing with active plan on insert prior to swap Fixed - Wind Page CRZ waypoint logic doesn't match IRL Fixed - A/THR failure, thrust not locked Fixed - ARPTs being limited Fixed - Small zone in THR lever without FMA indication Fixed - Anti-skid logic incorrect -1000 Fixed - EFOB on F-LPN being calculated in KG regardless of simbrief and aircraft being set to LBS.
