  4. A350 Airliner Cabin Packs 💺 Alongside the latest v1.1.0 update for the iniBuilds A350 Airliner, we’re adding more depth not just to how the aircraft flies, but how it feels inside. Introducing our new Cabin Packs, a series of detailed airline cabin interiors designed to reflect real-world A350 operators from around the globe, enhancing your in-flight experience on those long hauls! From premium-heavy long-haul layouts to iconic business class setups, these cabins are crafted to enhance realism and bring your flights to life. They go beyond just looks, offering detailed recreations of how each airline configures and styles its A350 cabin in the real world. FREE This pack brings together a range of well-known European operators and layouts you'll likely recognise if you've flown on the A350 in real-life! Air France (A350-900) A refined cabin featuring Safran Optima seats in business class, arranged in a 1-2-1 layout. The rest of the cabin follows a pretty typical widebody layout with recliners in premium economy and standard 3-3-3 seating in the back. It’s a light, open cabin with a clean French feel. British Airways (A350-1000) This one features BA’s Club Suite in business, forward-facing seats with privacy doors, arranged in a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout. The premium economy section gives a bit more room to stretch out, while economy follows a standard 3-3-3 setup. Overall, it’s quite a dark and calm interior, with soft lighting and a familiar BA style. Virgin Atlantic (A350-1000) Virgin brings in their Upper Class cabin with herringbone seating. Premium and economy have a brighter look, with splashes of red and modern fabrics. It’s definitely one of the more characterful A350 cabins. Lufthansa (A350-900 and 1000) Lufthansa’s setup is on the simpler side, with 2-2-2 seating in business class on the -900 and newer layouts arriving in the -1000. Premium economy offers a solid middle ground, and economy keeps things clean and functional. FREE This pack is focused on premium Middle Eastern carriers, each with their own take on comfort, design and attention to detail. Emirates (A350-900) This is based on Emirates’ latest A350 layout. Business class uses staggered seating with warm tones and gold accents. Premium economy features plush recliners in a 2-4-2 layout, and economy stays true to their usual 3-3-3 setup. The design’s a mix of traditional touches and newer materials. Qatar Airways – QSuite (A350-900 and 1000) One of the more well-known business class products, QSuite is your own room in the sky, with its sliding doors, movable dividers, and the option to make shared spaces. The rear cabin uses the same economy seats as the herringbone layout. It’s a cool setup if you like variety within the same airline. Qatar Airways – Herringbone (A350-900) A traditional reverse-herringbone layout in business, with the usual Qatar palette of burgundy and grey. Economy sticks with the airline’s clean design and comfortable seating. It’s a simple but sharp layout used on many of their -900s! Etihad (A350-1000) Etihad’s A350 is pretty stylish throughout. Business class uses a staggered layout with some nice privacy and a modern colour scheme. The rest of the cabin follows the same aesthetic, geometric patterns, and a quiet, polished vibe from front to back. Easy Installation and Selection: To use them, simply select the cabin pack you want from the aircraft preset menu before loading into the sim. We've made a simple guide to walk you through how to get these enabled in-sim! Here's a few more pictures to showcase how awesome these packs really look in sim!

  5. 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. We're shifting our focus from rapid hotfixes to more substantial, impactful additions and refinements. Of course, our work on the iniBuilds A350 Airliner isn't stopping!

  7. Hello! Today we're excited to bring you the next aircraft in the iniBuilds lineup, the iniBuilds F406 Caravan II! 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! Aircraft Features: ✈️ Multiple aircraft variants with tailored interiors, exteriors, and mission-specific systems Passenger Cargo Camera (Surveillance) Coastguard/Radar Spray (Environmental Response) 🎯 Authentic mission support for MSFS 2024 Career Modes Passenger & VIP Transport Cargo Operations 🖥️ Fully integrated GTN 650 avionics Compatible with Asobo, PMS, and TDS Hot-swappable GTN models for flexible navigation 📱 Modern EFB with Navigraph charts and map support QR/web login, payload control, dynamic loading, and door/window interactivity ⚖️ Dynamic loading systems Passengers and cargo adjust in real time based on sim or EFB payload inputs 🎥 Functional surveillance systems Animated, gyro-stabilised camera Aerial survey mode with GPS line tracking Coastguard SLAR and AIS ship detection systems Interior surveillance ops station with photo capture support 🛫 Custom autopilot system Designed for realistic single-pilot operations with advanced nav support 💡 Detailed lighting system Individually adjustable cockpit lighting with rotatable light stalks 🔌 Accurate electrical system simulation Selected circuit breakers operational 🌟 Exterior realism High-fidelity model based on 3D scans Custom fowler flaps, exhaust effects, propeller blur and accessories Openable panels, caps, and external servicing elements Real-world inspired dynamic lighting and detailed liveries 🎶 Immersive sound suite by Echo 19 Audio Authentic PT6A turbine and McCauley 3-blade propeller sounds Engine start-up ticks, feathering, rpm fluctuations Environmental audio: airflow, electrics, interactions and movement sounds Watch the Interview! You’ll be able to catch the iniBuilds F406 Caravan II in action very soon, as it takes to the skies with some of your favourite streamers and content creators.

  11. 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 ❤️

  14. A350 Airliner V1.0.11 Update 🚀 This week’s update marks a significant step forward in realism, functionality, and overall immersion. We've carried out extensive overhauls and refinements across core systems whilst adding new features, bringing the simulation experience even closer than ever. We will cover these below but before we do, just to let folks know that we are close to wrapping up our Xbox testing and expect the Xbox version of the iniBuilds A350 to launch soon! This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. New Fly-by-wire features This week’s build adds the Auto De-Rotation system. The Auto De-Rotation system on the iniBuilds A350 is part of its advanced fly-by-wire logic designed to assist pilots during the landing phase—specifically after the main landing gear has touched down. This is an important system as it prevents hard nosewheel touchdowns by avoiding abrupt or excessive pitch changes by the pilot and improves landing consistency across different conditions and pilot techniques So how does it work in the simulator? The de-rotation law uses elevator input to lower the aircraft’s pitch at a controlled rate, helping to prevent a hard touchdown of the nose wheel. As soon as the main landing gear touches down, the fly-by-wire system takes over pitch management and commands a predefined pitch rate of 2 to 3 degrees per second. This ensures a smooth and consistent nose gear landing. Importantly, the pilot still retains authority and can override the law with manual input if needed. Enhanced GPS Jamming On the launch of the iniBuilds A350 we had a rudimentary system in place for GPS Jamming, which has now been overhauled. When an aircraft enters a region with GPS jamming, the satellite signals become degraded, blocked, or completely unavailable. This can impact: Navigation accuracy degradation – you must check your EPU on the POS report page to ensure you ability to conduct an RNAV approach. ADS-B reporting – you may experience TCAS anomalies. Position data for FMS (Flight Management System) – you may experience GNSS failures Modern aircraft like the 350 depend heavily on GPS for efficient and precise routing. While they have inertial reference systems (IRS) and backup navigation sources (like DME/DME or VOR), the loss of GPS can still limit functionality, trigger alerts, or force a switch to alternate navigation modes. On launch this was random and not geo-specific – where GPS jamming actually occurs in the world. Now this system is much more immersive and we have integrated live data for a much more realistic experience whereby you will experience GPS jamming based on where there is jamming in the real world. The regions are calculated using a system called H3 geo to convert latitude and longitude into hex cells on a map that correlate to aircraft reporting of GPS data in those areas over a 24hr period and dynamically updated so the jammed areas are always changing based on real world data. The system looks up data based on aircraft latitude and longitude every 5 minutes. The API responds with good, partial and bad aircraft reports. If all good, no jamming is active. If partial, a percentage of bad and good reports is used as a "chance" to be jammed for the checked period. In this instance you may experience jamming coming and going through areas where it’s reported. If all bad, the area is being fully jammed, and you will encounter GPS interference and related system failures. Cockpit Printer The printer is used for creating hard copy T.O data, F-PLN, METAR, Mailbox etc… This data is available in the OIS and FMS already but can be printed to cross check and reference. We use a combination of 3D model animations, and show/hide attachments to simulate the print process and placing the paper on the chart clip in the cockpit. The received data is sent to a template based on the item being printed and printed to the texture. The paper size is also dynamic depending on the data printed. For example, printing a METAR will not use as much paper as printing the F-PLN. In 2024, under certain lighting conditions, when at the gate, you may experience a temporary unexpected effect where the printed info is obscured. This is due to a core shader property that overrides the printed layer. This is known and should be resolved in a coming sim update. Planned Route API (MSFS2024 Only) It is now possible to send and receive the MSFS2024 integrated flight plan from the sim FMS and vice versa. The flight planning tool built into the core sim utilises official Lido navigation databases and real world submitted flight plans to provide accurate routes. This feature can now be used to populate your iniBuilds 350 FMS. The feature will also be used for feature updates that will introduce the MSFS2024 career mode. Condensation Effect A new effect to simulate condensation has been added. The aircraft is generating the effect on the cockpit windows using the difference between outside air temperature and simulated cabin temperature and builds or dissipates over time. It also takes into account the windshield heat status of the glass element to remove the condensation just like the real aircraft. You will see this in action, when you are sat cold and dark, in a low OAT region and will see the condensation build before engine start. Due to limitations in the FS2020 engine, this effect is exclusive to FS2024 New ECAMs As with each update, we have also added in a wide range of ECAM’s, the following ECAMs have been updated or added: [ABN] L/G LDG WITH ABNORM MAIN L/G, [ABN] L/G LDG WITH ABNORM NOSE L/G, L/G GEAR NOT LOCKED DOWN, L/G GEAR NOT LOCKED UP, L/G CTL 1+2 FAULT, L/G DOORS NOT CLOSED Due to a bug in FS24 the following are disabled via EFB trigger (we are working with Asobo on this bug and once resolved these will be in action): "NORMAL L MLDG FAULT" "ALTERNATE L MLDG FAULT" "NORMAL R MLDG FAULT" "ALTERNATE R MLDG FAULT" "NORMAL NOSE GEAR FAULT" "ALTERNATE NOSE GEAR FAULT" ____________________________________________________________ v1.0.11 Systems⚙️ FIXED: MFD approach: selecting via NONE displays [----] FIXED: Latched VDEV behaves like normal DES mode if the speed is reduced FIXED: FPLN erased during go around FIXED: After a 2nd go around the approach is no longer in the FPLN bug FIXED: Changing arrival runway but not inserting it still changes the drop down approach options FIXED: Duplicate UTC message in F-Plan FIXED: Activating ALTN doesn't clear original DEST data FIXED: MCDU-FLAN modification in SEC FIXED: EDDM 08L/R VNAV issue FIXED: OMDB, RIDAP 2F SID - min speed at DB570 is 180, but the max at DB585 is 220.

  23. 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.
