v2.4.6 of the iniManager has been released. This update adds some great new features that have been on the request list for a while as well as various fixes which should provide a smoother experience overall. This update will be downloaded automatically when you launch the app or you can manually download it here. v2.4.6 - GSX profiles scanner to remove duplicate copies of GSX profiles - Fix for checkout looping issue - Updated My Products page, tabbed and with new filters. Added sort functionality - Added Sorting to GSX Profiles - Tabbed Changelogs for Products with support for both sims - Implemented Symlinks & Sim libs for product paths - Fixed issue with queued updates How To: Libraries You can choose to use this functionality, or simply use the default paths! The latest version of iniManager introduces a new way to manage install paths using library groups and symlinks, making it easier to control where your products are installed while keeping everything neat and tidy! Here's how to set it up! Set a default group that points to your main simulator addon/community folder location. (Important!) If you only use the default group, products will install directly to those paths without any extra configuration. To add a new folder/location (e.g. another folder or drive), create a new path group via the button in the bottom right. When installing a product, you’ll be asked which group to use, iniManager will install to that location and create a symlink pointing back to the default group. Once you've installed a product, you can toggle their visibility on/off. Go to the Sim Paths configuration screen, and select "Manage Products" on the group you wish to edit. From here you can view products installed in each group and enable/disable them. This adds/removes the symlink without deleting files. Use the Simulator Path section to scan for manually installed products. iniManager can link them properly so they show up in the app. If you remove a symlink, the product will appear uninstalled in iniManager, but the files remain on your drive. To fully uninstall, use the uninstall button from the product’s page, not just the path settings. Liveries are installed in the same location as the product they belong to. Deleting a path group from settings will not delete the folder or its contents, it just removes it from iniManager’s control.

iniBuilds A350 Airliner V1.1.1 Update 🚀 Another week and another fantastic update to progress the iniBuilds A350 Airliner onwards and upwards! The v1.1.1 update is now available and brings a mix of brand-new features, bug fixes, and immersive visual improvements to take your flying experience to the next level. Let’s jump into what’s new, what’s fixed, and what’s been tweaked, plus give you a peek into the exciting improvements made to both the aircraft’s systems and visuals. If you haven't got a copy of the iniBuilds A350 Airliner yet, you can buy a copy through the link below for £59.99 (excl VAT). Buy Now: https://inibuilds.com/products/inibuilds-a350-airliner-msfs-2024 This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. New Feature - Collimated HUD – Heads-Up Display System After some tweaks and bug fixes, we’re proud to announce that the HUD is finally here! A fully functional, realistic Heads-Up Display system is now live with v1.1.1. This system delivers accurate projection and dynamics right in your eye line, helping improve situational awareness in any weather. Optional visibility via the OIS equipment page Smooth deploy/stow animations Accurate FMA display including AP, FD, A/THR & BTV Speed, altitude, and vertical speed symbology Declutter logic with phase-of-flight-based visibility Crosswind Mode: Centres the HUD during high crosswind situations to retain critical info visibility Bugs & Feedback Addressed We’ve received feedback from VR users about MFDs not being clickable. The issue appears to be related to how mouse interaction checks occur per screen, which sometimes fails in VR frame updates. Investigation is ongoing, we hear you and are working on a fix. Vertical Display (VD) Range Indicator A known issue with the range indication logic on the Vertical Display has been acknowledged. This is a system with high complexity both in real life and in the sim, and we’re planning a broader rewrite of the logic in a future update. Cursor Behaviour on MFD Some users noted that both cursors disappear when a text box is active, whereas IRL, the opposite side’s cursor typically remains. This is a design choice to avoid mouse input conflicts, given users only have one active input source in the sim. We’ll continue monitoring feedback on this. Hydraulic System Logic (Flaps Behaviour) The HYD system logic has been fully overhauled. Previously, outer flaps didn’t extend when hydraulics were lost, despite the SD page showing they should. We’ve reworked the logic and it should now operate as required. Inner and outer flap animations now follow real-world logic Asymmetry modelled, trigger the Inner Flaps Fault via the OIS Failures page to simulate ECAM will show INR FLAPS warning and flap position differences, just like the real aircraft Outer flaps will continue to move using the ADBG system even when hydraulics are lost ECAM Memo Formatting Feedback We've had a lot of community feedback on formatting and missing elements in the ECAM Memo section. While we’ve made efforts to incorporate additional user-sourced data since launch, some elements, like formatting, are intentionally based on a specific airline’s reference. This reflects a realistic MSN configuration and software version we had verified access to. Visual & Exterior Enhancements Engine Blur Refinements The engine blur animation has been updated with new templates and more transitional texture stages for a smoother, more believable startup and spool-up sequence. Your wing views just got a serious upgrade. Watch the Start-up with the updated blur below! Refined Metallic Textures Several tweaks have been made to metal material rendering to elevate realism, including more accurate engine inlet detailing, enhanced window frame textures & patched winglet texture regression. FS24-Exclusive Weathering Pass For MSFS2024 users, we’ve rolled out advanced weathering effects, this will add some brand-new texture flags to reduce pixelation on low settings, subtle but impactful additions like dents and taped areas on wings & more realistic wear and tear visible across the entire airframe! Window Blinds – Now Visible from Outside A small but highly requested touch, window blinds are now visible from the exterior model, enhancing immersion during your walkarounds, fly-bys and inflight shots camera views! Xbox Update – Microsoft Marketplace We’re pleased to confirm that the long-awaited iniBuilds A350 Airliner has now been fully tested and is scheduled to go live on Xbox next week for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! (if all goes well). This update includes the ULR (Ultra Long Range) variant, expanding your range and options on console. Please note the HUD feature is not included in this release, but it’s well underway and will be arriving soon in a future update. But all the exciting and cool features you see on the A350 will be there! However, please do see the below chart about what features are not Xbox compatible: For those on MSFS 2020, the build is still not in a releasable state, and we appreciate your patience while we work to resolve platform-specific issues. A selection of new livery packs will also be available to enhance your experience—and who knows, maybe there will be some special offers to celebrate? 😉 Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. We’re excited to bring these improvements to our Xbox community very soon. ____________________________________________________________ v1.1.1 Systems⚙️FIXED: GA phase stuck in engine-out condition in

iniBuilds A350 Airliner V1.1.0 Update 🚀 This week’s update represents a major leap forward in both realism and performance for the iniBuilds A350 Airliner, delivering a host of enhancements across core systems, flight model fidelity, and immersive scenarios, including the highly anticipated ULR variant! There's been many changes and additions, from scenarios being added, nose cone model improvements and more. We'll cover all of these and more like always! If you haven't got a copy of the iniBuilds A350 Airliner yet, what are you doing?! You can buy a copy through the link below for £59.99 (excl VAT). Buy Now: https://inibuilds.com/products/inibuilds-a350-airliner-msfs-2024 This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. What we've been up to since launch! We've been pouring a ton of effort into refining the iniBuilds A350 Airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator since release, focusing on making your flying experience as smooth and immersive as possible. We've pushed out a whole bunch of updates, and here's a look at the bigger picture of what we've achieved. Right from the start, our main goal was to stabilize the core systems and squash those pesky bugs. This meant tackling numerous WASM crashes and exceptions, significantly enhancing the aircraft's reliability across various functions like display, flight planning, and autopilot. We also dedicated time to refining the 3D art and soundscape, ensuring better visuals and more balanced, realistic audio, from gear deployment to engine nuances. As development progressed, we moved onto more advanced features and deeper system overhauls. A major highlight was the comprehensive overhaul of the ECAM systems, integrating more realistic failure scenarios and detailed failure states with direct input from engineers. We also introduced the ETP function and implemented crucial improvements to step climb logic for long-haul flights. The Flight Management System (FMS) saw continuous refinement, with a focus on data entry, messaging, and overall sequencing. Key new functionalities like CDA, ETT, and CMS were brought online, alongside a host of fixes that improved everything from ATC auto-tuning to autosave behavior. More recently, we've introduced some exciting new capabilities, including significant advancements in the fly-by-wire system, with an Auto De-Rotation feature to assist landings. We also rolled out an overhauled GPS jamming system that provides a more realistic experience based on live data, and for our MSFS2024 users, we added a planned route API. You'll also notice visual enhancements like a new condensation effect on cockpit windows. Ultimately, our ongoing commitment is to keep refining and improving the iniBuilds A350 Airliner, ensuring it delivers an unparalleled experience for all of you. Your feedback is always incredibly valuable as we continue this journey! What we won't be changing & why Flight Model We standby the majority of our flight model characteristics, all of which have been verified by full motion simulator sessions with real world trainers and examiners. We are however seeing variations in feedback - with some users reporting that it is too sluggish, whereas others say the response is to abrupt or twitchy. This invariably comes down to differences in the peripherals being used. Whilst we try to accommodate as many of these differences in the base flight model and as such, we recommend a 1:1 axis curve. There will be some deviation from this and users can adjust these curves to make the feel more appropriate to their expectation. FS24 also allows us as developers to override and set specific parameters for each device but we elected not to set these and allow users to customise the controls based on personal preference. 8x Time Compression We've seen a lot of requests for 8x time compression, and we totally understand the desire to speed up those longer flights. Believe us, we've taken steps towards implementing it. However, after extensive testing, we've hit a pretty significant roadblock. Our autopilot system, which is incredibly complex to ensure accurate and realistic flight behavior, becomes very unstable and unpredictable at 8x compression. It just doesn't work as we would ideally like it to. As such, trying to force it leads to a really frustrating, broken experience rather than a functional one. Our priority is maintaining the stability and integrity of the core aircraft systems, especially the autopilot, and at this time, we simply can't guarantee that with 8x time compression without compromising the quality you expect. So, what's in this update? This update, we've delivered some performance improvements and integrated the aircraft into the FS24 Career Mode as well as introduced new immersive scenarios. You'll also find new dedicated ULR additions, and functional emergency evacuation slides. We've overhauled the cabin system to support modular cabin packs for custom interiors and added interactive details like PDOS buttons on the engines. Plus, we've refined the nose cone and cockpit side sticks, tweaked cockpit camera positions, and added a storm light for enhanced realism. Let's go into the update in a bit more detail below! Performance Improvements We’ve implemented significant optimisations under the hood which improve overall efficiency and reduce CPU usage. This includes streamlined XML hierarchy, merged model nodes, and a refined WASM structure with consolidated internal variables. Lighting logic in the systems configuration has also been reworked for improved performance. These improvements ensure smoother performance without compromising system depth. Combus WASM crashes One particular wasm crash that appeared in recent updates was related to the use of the combus, which is used to pass information between different code types and systems within the aircraft, eg OIS to FMS. The combus method has been removed, and all data is now read directly from source files for greater stability and should prevent this WASM crash. Career Mode Integration Our full FS24 career mode is now live, introducing airline passenger operations with integrated passenger boarding. Available exclusively via the MS Marketplace. Immersive Scenarios added (Via EFB) Several new event-driven scenarios have been added, triggering corresponding ECAM messages, sound effects, and cabin interactions: Medical emergency/food poisoning – Your cabin crew are dealing with an allergic reaction. Communicate with the crew and decide if a diversion is necessary based on cabin crew assessment. Medical emergency/general – Your cabin crew are dealing with a poorly elderly passenger undergoing a medical episode. Communicate with the crew and decide if a diversion is necessary based on cabin crew assessment. Unruly Passenger – Your cabin crew and passengers have detained an unruly passenger by taping him to his seat. Lavatory smoke – The smoke alarm has been triggered in the cabin and the crew are dealing with a potential fire in the cabin or just a passenger trying to hide a vape. The scenario will trigger a related but random ecam to deal with also. HUD System - Coming Soon! A fully modelled 3D HUD is coming soon! This will have dynamic projection, adjustable declutter settings, and collimated view effect. Accurate brightness levels and a new seating position ensure optimal usability. It also includes a unique feature, allowing the HUD symbology to shift relative to aircraft direction in challenging crosswind conditions, making crosswind landings even more manageable! Keep an eye out for this awesome addition, coming very soon! ULR Additions With the ULR update now with us, we want to quickly note a few dedicated changes and additions for this. This includes the fuel logic, which has been updated so that fuel systems now have the capacity and allow for ultra-long-range operations. The ULR also features a specific cabin layout, with unique models based on the real-world Singapore ULR layout featuring a full business class and premium economy cabin layout. Emergency Evacuation Slides First introduced in our A300-600 Airliner, the highly requested emergency evacuation slides are now featured in the iniBuilds A350 Airliner. These slides are fully functional and tied directly to the aircraft’s arming logic, providing a realistic and immersive representation of emergency procedures. When the doors are armed, triggering an evacuation will deploy the slides, just as in real-world operations - adding both visual flair and simulation depth. Compatibility for Cabin Packs - Check them out here! The cabin system has been completely overhauled to support our new modular cabin packs. This allows users to swap in various airline 3D seat configurations that reflect real-world layouts, from Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, Qatar Q suites and so many more! These optional cabin packs are FREE to download and bring further customization and realism to your flight simulation experience, letting users tailor the interior to match specific airline branding or layout preferences. Cabin Packs 1 PDOS (Power Door Opening System) Buttons A new level of detail has been added to the aircraft’s exterior interactions: the engine cowlings can now be opened in walkaround mode using dedicated PDOS buttons located on the sides of each engine. This realistic functionality enhances pre-flight inspection routines and allows you to mimic engineering crew procedures, making external checks more engaging and involved. Nose Cone Model Improvements Visual accuracy of the nose cone has been improved based on real-world references. The previous shading on the tip was slightly too pronounced. It has now been reduced by approximately 50%, delivering a cleaner, more realistic appearance. The subtle flattening itself remains, as it reflects the true aerodynamic shaping seen on the actual aircraft. Cockpit Side Stick Model Improvements We’ve completely reworked the 3D models of the cockpit side sticks for greater visual precision. The updated geometry now more accurately represents the proportions, grip textures, and positioning found in the real cockpit, contributing to an even more faithful flying experience for users who value cockpit authenticity. Cockpit Camera Position Tweaks For those of you who value exact eye-level realism, we’ve fine-tuned the default pilot camera positions to better align with the eye reference indicator. This ensures that key HUD elements, flight displays, and visual references are positioned correctly in the user’s field of view, allowing for a more authentic perspective from the left seat. Cockpit Storm Light A long-standing community request, the storm light functionality is now available in the iniBuilds A350 Airliner. This powerful lighting feature allows you to flood the cockpit with bright white light at the touch of a button, ideal for scenarios where maximum visibility is needed, whether you're preparing the aircraft at night or troubleshooting during adverse conditions. ULR SimBrief Profile With the latest changes and the addition of the ULR, it's time for a new profile to add to your accounts! Whilst you will have the ability to use this profile via the onboard flight planning system - you can add the profile to your SimBrief account should you want to use the standard website for flight planning. You can add the A350 Airliner ULR SimBrief profile by clicking here. Low Resolution Texture Packs If you're looking for even more performance, we've updated our 'Low Resolution Texture Packs' for the A350 Airliner! These provide a partial performance increase for relatively little visual reduction. To install these, simply head over to the iniManager & ensure you have the latest version of the A350 Airliner downloaded. At the bottom right of the screen, you will then see the grey button for "Options", click this and click on the desired package to install, then that's it! WATCH THE V1.1.0 ULR UPDATE IN ACTION What's Next for the iniBuilds A350 Airliner As we've shipped numerous updates and addressed many core items since release, the iniBuilds A350 Airliner is now reaching a more mature state. This means while we absolutely remain committed to future updates, the frequency of these updates will naturally begin to reduce.

An aircraft that showcases rugged versatility and a purposeful design, the F406 Caravan II has served in roles ranging from surveillance and maritime patrol to regional passenger transport. With two Pratt & Whitney PT6A-112 turboprop engines, a utility driven cabin, and STOL capability, this aircraft blends that versatility with reliability, earning its place as a trusted workhorse across the globe. This aircraft holds a special place for one of our team members in particular, he's been able to organise some fantastic access to real world examples of this aircraft to both 3D scan as well as collect an abundance of references to help with the development process. Introducing a name that many of you may be familiar with, Mike Standen, our Head of Production who has been heavily involved in projects such as the A350 Airliner, the Spartan, A300-600R Airliner and more! Here's what Mike has to say about the F406 Caravan II project: “My name is Mike Standen, I am Head of Production here at iniBuilds. Before joining the company, I was a full-time commercial pilot. One of the aircraft I flew early in my career was the F406 Caravan II for a company called RVL Group, based at East Midlands airport in the UK. It wasn’t an average airline, they operate lots of government and private sector surveillance contracts as well as carrying out ad hoc cargo and passenger operations across the UK and Europe. I was excited to bring the variety and unique challenges of flying coastguard, aerial photography, and spray operations, amongst other tasks, to MSFS.” – Mike Standen, Head of Production Low level coastguard sortie near Dover, Kent Aerial Spray exercise near Skegness, Lincolnshire Oil rig survey. North Sea As part of our research and development on the aircraft, we made a couple of visits down to the RVL Group hangar at East Midlands Airport. They have some fantastic facilities that help look after 11 aircraft of varying type, including the Beechcraft B200 King Air, the Beechcraft 260 King Air and of course the F406. Our initial visit was to 3D scan the entire aircraft to ensure appropriate proportions, modelling and visual accuracy, after a successful trip, it was time to take those references to the developers and artists to begin work on the aircraft. 3D Scanning the F406 at RVL Group We came back to visit again after work had been underway to interview the Chief Pilot, Harry Shaw, an experienced & knowledgeable pilot on the type that provided some great insight into the airframe and what it is truly capable of! We asked him a whole bunch of questions, so we hope you can get some invaluable insights into the aircraft from this and learn something new. Using the information gathered from our trip to RVL Group, we have added some really cool features to this platform, allowing you to truly experience the versatility the aircraft has to offer. Whether you're on a coastal patrol or conducting a maritime search operation, the animated gyro-stabilised surveillance camera is a great feature of the surveillance variant. Mounted on a gimbal system, this high-tech piece of kit actively pitches and rolls to maintain a steady downward angle, essential for accurate imaging on the move! The F406 is also more than capable of hauling some decent loads of cargo! With the dynamic cargo loading system, you can see your aircraft fill up with boxes and more for the journey you're about to depart on, make sure it's all tied down! For those of you flying coastguard operations, we've modelled some super useful bits of equipment. The Side-Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR) is mounted along the fuselage, which sends radar pulses outwards from the flight path, allowing for detection of boats, oil spills and more. The AIS is a black radar bulb on the underside of the airframe that acts as ADS-B for ships. In real life, the F406 is most often flown single-pilot, our custom autopilot system has been fine-tuned to replicate this operational style. So whether you're cruising high-level between survey sites or flying passenger shuttles, the autopilot will ease your workloads whilst being able to stay true to the aircraft's authentic avionics and other systems. Here's the full aircraft features below!

Back in January, George - the lead 3D artist at iniBuilds and Matt - from the internal team, set off on a research trip. We tried to keep things subtle on Instagram, but as always, many of you were way too quick with it. Before we’d even finished our visit, the guesses started coming in, and quite a few of you had it straight away. So it’s time to confirm what some of you figured out almost instantly - the airport we visited was Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport (KPVD). Firstly, a huge thank you goes out to the incredible staff at the airport for helping to coordinate our visit, and to the FSExpo team for putting us in touch. With FSExpo just around the corner, it made perfect sense to work on a project that ties in so well with the event, and with so many of you flying into Providence this year, this one felt like the perfect fit! These site visits are extremely important to our workflow. They give us access to an abundance of resources, from close reference shots to unique behind the scenes areas that bring each airport to life in sim. George, a 6 year veteran in the industry, who has recently overseen the likes of London Heathrow Premium and Doha Hamad Premium found the whole experience of a site visit extremely beneficial. To have the ability to see the entirety of the airport up close - it really provided an overall feel for the airport and provided us with a rare opportunity to capture high-resolution photos and videos of the terminal, jetways, hangars, runways, GSE and all other elements that complete any airport. When collecting reference, we captured subjects from multiple angles, in different lighting conditions to cover all bases. Despite being the largest airport in Rhode Island, T.F. Green is impressively easy to navigate and offers a solid range of domestic destinations. It’s a great hub for simming, especially if you’re looking for some short-to-medium hauls across the US. We were met in the terminal by one of the airport operations staff who got us signed in for the tour. From the start, the ops team were brilliant, giving us a full walkthrough of the terminal layout, some fascinating history, and even insight into future development plans. We began in the check-in area, a compact, but efficient area, where over 4 million passengers were processed in 2024 alone. After gathering our shots there, we moved through security and into the terminal to start gathering more images of key areas like gate zones, advertising displays, stores and more! It’s always interesting to see the common design styles between US airports, but each one has its own unique character. At Providence, that’s immediately obvious in the art spread throughout the terminal. One standout piece is ‘Interval’ by Barbara Cooper, an 82 foot long, hand painted glass tile mosaic that adds some colour to the terminal. We’ve made sure to bring details like this into the scenery, because it’s those little things that really enhance the immersion. After documenting the terminal, we headed airside to continue the visit from the apron. ‘OPS 4’ was waiting for us, and we spent the next couple of hours exploring virtually every corner of the airfield. During the morning departures rush, the ramp was buzzing with activity. At one point it felt more like Heathrow than Providence, with aircraft pushing back all around us. We had to pause frequently to allow aircraft to push back, however whilst doing this it allowed us to get some great photos of the gate areas, ground service equipment and more! Throughout this airside drive around, we took pretty much every taxiway, saw most of the hangars, the fire station, the FedEx centre, the air traffic control tower and more! If it was accessible, we captured photos of it! With these references at hand, our incredibly talented team of 3D artists were able to recreate each subject with precision in both modelling and texturing. Aspects such as; the exact height of doors/windows, the amount of dirt, the amount of clutter, the colours, depth and roughness of each material, and the intensity of lighting. All factors which were all faithfully reproduced with the help of these references. Ensuring the scenery closely reflects the real-world airport, enhancing immersion. From the knowledge and experience of the airport operations team, we were able to include unique features of the airport which could have been missed. Some of these features include the graveyard to the south of R5, the painted lines testing strip to the west of R5, and the stripped down A220 that Breeze uses for spare parts. In these examples below, you can see how the reference images help the artists understand the smaller details that are required to correctly reflect the real-world counterpart. Such as; the departure screens and posters, the missing ‘I’ in the AVIS logo, the warning labels on fuel tankers, the glowing border of the TSA machines, the patterns of the floor and ceiling in the Sky Bridge, and the various amounts of art installations. There are dozens of examples in which the references had a direct impact on the output of the models, without the help of the team at KPVD, we would never have been able to achieve this level of accuracy! So for that, we want to give another big thank you to the team at Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport for being so accommodating and making this visit possible. Also, a huge shoutout to the team of FSExpo for the support in organising the trip. These visits are a critical part of what we do, and it’s always a privilege to meet the people behind the scenes who keep these airports running every day. Here's some more screenshots to showcase how impressive the work from the team has been after utilising this trip and gaining such invaluable reference images! We also want to extend a thank you to the teams over at Go Providence, Rhode Island Convention Center and the Rhode Island Airport Corporation for helping various arrangements from the site visit, being the hosting venue of this years FSExpo and allowing us to house the event in their city this year! WATCH THE TRAILER We’re really excited to bring this one to life in sim, and we hope you enjoy flying in and out of Providence just as much as we enjoyed visiting it. iniBuilds Team ❤️
