iniBuilds F406 Caravan II V1.0.2 Update 🛩️ This update brings an extensive set of improvements and fixes across all major systems of the F406 Caravan II, with a strong focus on autopilot behaviour, electrical and start-up logic. Key avionics and flight system bugs have been resolved, while art and sound assets have been refined. The EFB also sees some welcome enhancements, including a new night mode checklist and additional user-requested features. This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. Quality-of-Life Changes V1.0.2 delivers several quality-of-life enhancements aimed at improving the overall user experience. Autopilot behaviour has been significantly refined, addressing multiple logic and mode interaction issues for smoother, more predictable operation. Engine start procedures have been brought closer to real-world behaviour, with corrected ITT response, igniter logic, and sound feedback. In addition, a few sound inconsistencies have been addressed, including improved switch interactions and engine startup audio. Autopilot Logic Updates Autopilot logic has been updated to more accurately reflect the modeled system’s real-world behaviour. Notably, approach mode now requires the aircraft to be established on the localizer before capturing the glide slope, bringing the procedure in line with proper operating technique. Back course mode has also seen improvements, with updated logic and a more reliable controller to ensure accurate tracking. Additionally, the initial autopilot engagement now captures and syncs the current vertical speed correctly, resulting in a much smoother transition into automated flight. The vertical speed controller itself has also been refined for improved stability and responsiveness. Sound Refinement Our partners at Echo19 have been hard at work refining the overall sound experience, taking on board feedback from the community. In this update, you’ll notice improvements to the engine start-up sequence and beta range sound profile, both of which now feel truer to life. Alongside these, a number of smaller adjustments have been made throughout the soundscape to boost immersion and bring the audio closer to the real aircraft. Start Logic Updates The engine start behaviour and sequence have been reworked to more accurately reflect real-world PT6 operations. This includes improved simulation of hot start scenarios, cooling dynamics, and the ignition sequence, complete with the distinctive ITT rise that defines PT6 engine starts. These changes bring a more authentic and rewarding engine start experience for those who enjoy flying by the book. Thanks for your support on this project, it's an incredibly fun aircraft to work on and truly something different to what we're usually used to. Be sure to keep those user reported bugs and feedback coming in so we can continue to push updates that ensure real life accuracy! iniBuilds Team ❤️ ____________________________________________________________ V1.0.2 Changelog SYSTEMS • FIXED: VOR annunciator light not working on autopilot panel • FIXED: Roll command mode behaviour on AP corrected • FIXED: ADF FLT/ET timer RST function incorrect • FIXED: DME Hold function inoperative • FIXED: GENs display amperage even with engines off • FIXED: AP yoke disconnect button behaviour corrected • FIXED: Different torque readings between engines for identical power lever positions • FIXED: HSI HDG knob rotation issue • FIXED: AP HDG/GS interaction behaviour corrected • FIXED: AP defaults to descent when ALT disengaged • FIXED: AP pitch command wheel now rotates as expected • FIXED: Inertial separator not functioning • FIXED: Inertial separators default to BYPASS in cold & dark state in iaw real procs. • FIXED: Torque indication lag • FIXED: AP GS mode not engaging • FIXED: Electrical system - some lights and gauges operating without power • FIXED: Simulator hang on exit traced to F406 systems • FIXED: WT GNS 430 - "CDI" button changes mode but display remains GPS • FIXED: NAV mode not following GPS guidance • FIXED: AP approach mode logic updated • FIXED: Brake/Electrical system interaction causing braking loss • FIXED: Both generators and battery fail simultaneously • FIXED: Ng rises directly to 50% during start without fuel introduced • FIXED: Start light now turns off automatically at 42% Ng • FIXED: ENG1 igniter sound missing during startup • FIXED: Close all doors logic updated for main and secondary main door conditions • FIXED: Engine start sequence and ITT behaviour improved • FIXED: On AP disconnect, all modes remained shown as engaged — panel now resets • FIXED: Electrical - autopilot/nav interactions incorrect when NAV/BC selected • FIXED: On AP disconnect, autopilot modes are cleared from display ART • FIXED: Left and right direct vision windows out of sync • FIXED: Storm window frame collision when opening • FIXED: Exterior baggage and main door tooltips missing • FIXED: L WING OHEAT light burned out • FIXED: Internal placards corrected • FIXED: Autopilot panel art corrections • FIXED: Spring clipping through knob geometry SOUND • FIXED: Anti-collision light switch had no sound • FIXED: Missing baggage door sound • FIXED: Interaction sounds missing • FIXED: Igniter and starter sound behaviour refined • FIXED: No igniter sound on startup ENG1 • FIXED: Sound still audible when sim volume set to zero EFB • ADDED: Option to enable night-mode for checklist • FIXED: Map centering button issue • FIXED: FS24 EFB maximum weight corrected USER SUGGESTIONS IMPLEMENTED • ADDED: Users can now operate passenger light switches individually

iniBuilds A350 Airliner V1.1.3 Update 🚀 Update time! The newly released v1.1.3 update delivers a variety of fixes and improvements across systems, visuals, and sounds. From Flight Management System improvements, HUD updates, and many other bug fixes that will all enhanced the A350 Airliner experience. We also have an exciting announcement regarding sounds, which you can read all about below. Now, let’s dive into the key enhancements and fixes that are inside the v1.1.3 update! This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. Flight Management System (FMS) Improvements We took some time to address a number of issues relating to the FMS logic and reworking the systems stability. These included improvements to SEC/F-PLN operation in displaying holds on the ND and handling modifications as well as an issue where FMS2 submenus would not open correctly. We also looked at some remaining VNAV issues like crossing SPD LIMIT pseudo-waypoints not working properly in managed and selected speed modes. LNAV also now handles sequencing after a go-around properly and correct behavior of ILS backup during non-precision approaches has been added, it no longer gets overridden by the FLS approach state. WASM Crashes Thanks to the support of community members, we’ve been able to reproduce and address several WASM-related crashes that were affecting specific scenarios. These included issues with custom waypoint entry and certain procedures, such as the ANF arrival into NZWP. Identifying these edge cases can be challenging, so having clear reports and reproduction steps has been invaluable. We’re continuing to investigate similar instances to ensure greater stability going forward, and we genuinely appreciate the time and effort from those who reached out and shared detailed feedback. It plays a key role in helping us deliver long-term solutions. HUD Improvements The HUD has proven to be a popular feature, and we’ve taken time to focus on some key areas based on your feedback. While there’s more to come in future updates, this update includes several important improvements We’ve corrected the chevron energy behavior to provide accurate acceleration cues, resolved an issue where “MINIMUM” indications were not appearing below decision height, and made adjustments to the HUD’s field of view and perspective for better alignment within the sim environment. Brakes Logic This update brings several improvements to the Brake to Vacate (BTV) system, addressing both logic and display issues. We’ve fixed a bug where BTV would not disengage following a go-around, as well as an issue where BTV was incorrectly shown on the FMA when taxiing below 10 knots. Additionally, BTV logic now properly responds to runway exit changes, ensuring more accurate (ROT) and turnaround time calculations. Beyond BTV, we’ve updated the overall braking system thermodynamics. This resolves cases where brake temperatures cooled unrealistically quickly during rollout, especially after overweight landings. Brake cooling is now more accurately modeled, with slower cooling rates that better reflect ambient conditions. Other Fixes A wide range of backend system updates have been made to improve overall realism, particularly across electrical, hydraulic, pressurisation, and braking systems. Another addition is improved engine seizure logic. Engines will now seize properly when oil runs out, adding an extra layer of realism for those flying in more challenging scenarios. We’ve also refined the VENT and AVNCS door systems, which now directly affect cabin pressurisation. This brings more realistic depressurisation behavior, including a pressure loss of approximately 2000 feet per minute when the vent system is active. On the electrical side, the yellow electric pump ECAM message now displays correctly when cargo doors are opened during loading or unloading. We’ve also fixed an issue where GPU availability was inconsistent on spawn, helping ensure more reliable ground power operations. OIS Maps and Navigraph Token Logic We have worked closely with Navigraph and the community to fix the OIS enroute map which consistently became non-functional over longer flights. Community and internal beta test team members previously able to repo this event are reporting no issue after 15+ hour flights in real time. The Navigraph authentication token issue that required users to log in periodically throughout the flight has also been resolved. We have resolved several other issues including the readout in lbs now correctly rounded. Sounds Refinement Several improvements have been made to enhance audio feedback and overall immersion. One fix addresses a longstanding bug where the landing gear sound would play regardless of the actual gear state, this now behaves as expected and adds to the realism during approach and rollout. We also fixed an issue where flap deployment sounds were either missing or barely audible. Now, these sounds play clearly and realistically during all flap configuration changes. We’re excited to share that we’ve partnered with Echo 19 Audio Productions to deliver a complete sound overhaul for the A350 Airliner. This collaboration will bring a significant step forward in engine, cockpit, and environmental audio, with much greater depth and spatial detail. Work is already underway, and more updates on this will follow soon. Exterior Lighting Improvements Based on numerous user reports, we have improved the lighting, especially during daytime scenarios. The smaller lights such as the lights located in the wing tip assemblies will be much more visible and clearer from a distance, especially during the daytime. Cockpit LOD Loading Bugs For some users on lower-end PCs, or especially on Xbox consoles, the cockpit would not initially load on the highest level of detail model, or LOD, when switching the camera view from the exterior to the cockpit or on initial loading. This caused rapidly flickering displays as the LOD models were catching up to the correct level. This has now been resolved, and the displays are not flashing anymore. Livery “Floating Decal” Bugs Some liveries would cause floating decals towards the area in front of the aircraft. This has been resolved, you do not need to update liveries as the fix was made on the base aircraft to prevent this from occurring. Cabin Updates Several important issues affecting the cabins have been resolved in this update. Notably, the passenger seat belt signage is now functioning properly again. Floor lighting is also improved, now correctly linked with the emergency exit lighting system for greater realism and safety cues. Beyond these, we’ve implemented various smaller technical fixes that enhance the overall user experience, informed by valuable feedback from our internal testing team. We're incredibly grateful for the consistent support on this project, we are so glad that you've appreciated the updates to improve the product in general, so you can be sure we'll continue to update this product based on user reported bugs and feedback. iniBuilds Team ❤️ ____________________________________________________________ v1.1.3 Systems⚙️ FIXED: Various EFIS and MFD related WASM crashes FIXED: WASM crash after inserting custom waypoint into next waypoint FIXED: Overweight landing: brake temps already decreasing during landing roll, brakes cooling down too fast FIXED: Discon, incorrect track maintained FIXED: PFD altitude vertical profile refinement FIXED: SEC/F-PLN edits and display issues FIXED: SEC flight plan modification now displays holds on ND FIXED: SEC index button now returns to original page if pressed twice FIXED: VD reaction in PLAN mode FIXED: Manual aircraft time entry now accepted FIXED: Yellow electric pump ECAM missing when cargo doors opened FIXED: Pressing return on FMS performs correct action on FMS1 FIXED: Brake cooling rate reduced FIXED: Notify max uplink delay message displayed correctly FIXED: D-ATIS header and message handling FIXED: Position time marker and data display when IRS is not aligned FIXED: Tropopause value rounding improved FIXED: ATC COM connect armed color displayed correctly FIXED: VHHH Kai Tak - runway length validation improved FIXED: BTV does not disengage properly on go around FIXED: BTV does not disengage when ground spoilers disarm FIXED: BTV display remains at 10kts even when braking has stopped FIXED: Changing RWY exits does not affect ROT or Turnaround time displayed on ND FIXED: Crossing Managed SPD LIMIT Pseudo-Waypoint behavior in Selected SPD FIXED: FMS 2 submenu navigation restored FIXED: Grid heading logic corrected FIXED: LNAV sequencing after go-around path capture FIXED: Direct-To behaviour on SID FIXED: HUD shows "No MINIMUM" indication below minimum ADDED: Backing up a non-precision approach using an ILS ADDED: D-ATIS previous message behavior FIXED: Fix info on abeam points FIXED: Fix info not updating EFB/OIS🖥️FIXED: OIS Enroute map functionality restored FIXED: EFB lbs readout now truncates decimal places FIXED: GSX boarding/deboarding stutters resolved FIXED: Navigraph token resets after 6–8 hours ART🎨FIXED: Odd shadows toward the front of the fuselage FIXED: Nose cone mesh precision improved FIXED: PAX signs no longer illuminate FIXED: GPU sometimes missing on spawn FIXED: "Landing" pilot camera view better aligns with HUD view ADDED: Windshield ITO effect (indium tin oxide) - Please note: Windshield ITO effect requires "windshield effects" setting on 'High' to render.

Hello! So you might be wondering what our next and upcoming projects for scenery are going to be, since we haven't really spoken or hinted too much at these... This update should hopefully give you some more clarity on this today, which of course is extremely exciting to start giving you some previews! Starting off the year, we revisited some of the all time favourites, giving them an overhaul that brought them to MSFS 2024 standards and utilised the latest SDK technology. These 'Enhanced' sceneries included the following; Ibiza, Palm Springs, Dubai, Los Angeles & most recently - New York! You guys loved these, boasting improved visuals and elevated performance inside of the latest simulator. So with the latest SDK technology MSFS 2024 has to offer, we focused some resources on this to create some brand new sceneries. With these sceneries, each one has been pushing boundaries in quality, immersion, and performance. Leading the way was London Heathrow (EGLL) Premium – a complete and carefully rebuilt project, from the ground up. We wanted to take the opportunity to start fresh, ensuring one of the world’s busiest airports is represented with all of the latest tech, fidelity and smooth performance that it deserves. Every terminal, taxiway, and apron layout has been reworked to match real-world operations as of 2025, delivering the definitive Heathrow experience. Soon after, we released a brand-new rendition of London Gatwick (EGKK) – also developed entirely from scratch for the 2024 simulator. Gatwick now showcases all-new assets, updated ground layouts, and optimized textures, giving simmers a crisp, dynamic gateway to the South of England with outstanding visual clarity and performance! Next came something very special – Providence T. F. Green International Airport (KPVD). Created in close partnership with FSExpo, the Flight Simulation Association, Go Providence, and the KPVD Airport Association, this project was more than just a scenery. It was a celebration of community and collaborations in the aviation space. KPVD brings stunning detail to Rhode Island, reflecting both the airport and surrounding region with beautiful night lighting, custom animations, and a deeply authentic feel. And most recently, we took things back to the Middle East again with Doha Hamad International (OTHH) and the accompanying Doha City Landmarks Pack! Hamad represents one of our most ambitious sceneries to date – combining huge architectural structures, realistic mega hub recreations of both airside and landside, as well as seamless integration with the city landmark pack. This combo transforms the entire Qatari capital into a visual showcase, whether you're flying in during the day or watching the city glow at night! Each of these projects allowed the team to refine our craft further – enhancing modeling accuracy, texture resolution, and performance-saving techniques. With improved iniManager settings, making use of MSFS 2024's SimProp Containers, and listening to community feedback, we’ve come so far since some of our first ever sceneries in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Welcoming, Larnaca International Airport (LCLK) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Our latest release, Larnaca International Airport (LCLK), brought all of these features with it! This airport is a gateway to Cyprus and the Mediterranean region. However it doesn't stop there!

While we typically don’t like announcing projects too far in advance, we’ve already mapped out a number of exciting releases coming your way before the year’s end. Some of these include a few highly requested projects… but that’s all we’ll say on that for now. Rest assured, we’ve got some awesome stuff in the pipeline. 👀 Moving onto the next project we'll be focusing our attention on now that Larnaca has been released, we've got a call to action for some of you, especially those of you who might work at, or have close connections with this specific airport. Much like we did with Gatwick, we want to invite you to help us achieve some of the highest levels of accuracy, which we can only do with your help. Many of you will guess it from this faint outline of the tower alone, but for this one we won't keep you waiting... Announcing iniBuilds Manchester (EGCC) Premium for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! That’s right, we’re heading back to the UK with our own take on Manchester Airport! With the latest releases from developers like Pyreegue and RW Profiles, UK airport sceneries have been reaching new heights. The level of detail, performance, feature-rich environments and modelled terminal toilets? 🚽 have been nothing short of incredible. As with Gatwick, accuracy is our top priority, and that’s where you come in. If Manchester is your home base, whether as a pilot, ground crew, or any other role, we’d love to hear from you. Your knowledge and insight can help shape one of the most accurate and detailed renditions of Manchester ever made for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

v1.0.4 of iniBuilds Doha Hamad (OTHH) for MSFS 2024 has been released. This update addresses the short jetway bug to fix A320 connections. This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. v1.0.4 - Increased length of all 'short' jetways to fix A320 connection issues

Hello! It’s been a minute since we’ve provided you with a development update on the plane side of iniBuilds, so we thought it was time to give you some of the latest! We’ve had a few plane releases this year, starting with, of course the iniBuilds A350 Airliner, then something slightly smaller with the Spartan 7W Executive and the latest of which being the F406 Caravan II. To start with, we want to extend our immense thanks to the community for the support and feedback across all these products. We love making these and the reception to them has been fantastic. The A350 Airliner was of course the most anticipated and since release, we have been working hard to ensure you have the best possible experience and we will continue to do so with our update schedule! The most recent updates; v1.1.1 and v1.1.2, each bring a suite of new features, critical fixes, and deeper immersion to your long-haul flying. The highlight of v1.1.1 was the long-awaited collimated Heads-Up Display (HUD), now fully functional, with dynamic declutter logic, crosswind mode, and accurate FMA symbology. This new feature makes high-precision flying even more intuitive, especially in poor visibility or challenging approaches. We’ve also refined key aircraft systems based on your feedback: Hydraulics & Flaps Logic: Completely reworked to reflect real-world asymmetry handling and ADBG system behavior. Vertical Display Range Indicator & Cursor Interactions: Known issues have been acknowledged, and adjustments are underway in future builds. ECAM Memo Formatting: Minor discrepancies clarified, our layout is based on a real-world MSN configuration and reference airline. Visually, we’ve introduced multiple improvements to elevate realism even further: Enhanced engine blur animations and metallic surface textures. New MSFS 2024-exclusive weathering effects, from surface dents to subtle tape details. Window blinds are now visible from the exterior model, a small but immersive addition. Following community input, we’ve also taken care to address bug reports across avionics, the FMS, and the CPDLC system, with v1.1.2 focusing heavily on FADEC behavior, HUD readability, EFB stutter improvements, and broader sound balancing, especially for users with active ANR systems. We’re also delighted to confirm that the A350 Airliner has launched on Xbox for MSFS 2024! After a long testing period, to ensure the aircraft was where we wanted it to be on an initial release, we were satisfied with the build that went live! We are still working on the MSFS 2020 Xbox build, which is unfortunately not where it needs to be. We hope that this will be ready soon, until then, we appreciate your patience. WASM Testing Group For those still having WASM related issues, SU3 fixes some core sim areas that handle memory allocation. As this is imminent, we want to try and identify any last remaining WASM issues people are having for our next update which is launching next week. To help tackle lingering WASM crashes and instability, we’ve launched a dedicated WASM testing group on Discord. This group is focused on tracking down and resolving bugs that occur on specific setups, especially across different platforms and configurations. If you’ve experienced repeatable WASM issues, we’d love for you to join the effort and collaborate with our developers. By sharing logs, setups, and steps to reproduce problems, you’ll be playing a direct role in enhancing stability across the board, especially as we work in tandem with simulator-side improvements expected in Sim Update 3. Join here: https://discord.gg/WcT48gB453 Plans Moving Forwards With the release of v1.1.2, we’ve now successfully delivered on all major milestones we set out for the A350 Airliner earlier this year, from feature rollouts like the collimated HUD and Ultra Long Range variant, to the continual refinement of systems, flight dynamics, visuals, and stability. But the process doesn’t stop here - we remain fully committed to the ongoing development of the A350. With continuous updates planned to further refine the experience, address emerging bugs, and ensure maximum compatibility and performance across all supported platforms, including Xbox and, eventually, MSFS 2020. Looking ahead, we’re also incredibly excited to expand the iniBuilds Airliner series even further. You might have picked up on a little teaser in the A350 Airliner ULR update. We want to take this opportunity to officially announce our latest project in the works... Introducing the iniBuilds Airliner A340 Airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! You guys have a keen eye! For all of you that saw D-AIGU and guessed that our next project was the A340 Airliner, you’d be correct! This long-haul four-engine widebody will build on everything we’ve learned throughout the iniBuilds A300-600R and iniBuilds A350 Airliner development cycles, from deep system simulation and custom sound environments to highly detailed visuals and immersive flight deck logic. The A340’s unique characteristics, including its engine configuration, weight and balance, and handling dynamics, present new and exciting challenges that we’re excited to bring to life in the sim. Development has already been underway behind the scenes, and we’ve made significant progress in multiple areas, particularly around the visuals, flight dynamics and systems. The visuals of the aircraft can be seen in some of the following screenshots, which showcase all those lessons we’ve learnt along the way, ensuring some of the highest quality modelling and texturing you’ve seen on an aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Click the enlarge. Much like the A350 Airliner, the iniBuilds A340 Airliner will include full EFB integration, a robust failure system, and a wide selection of real-world liveries and custom cabins at launch, among other things. The iniBuilds A340 Airliner will be the A340-313 variant utilising the CFM56-5C4 engine variant - the most engine thrust available for this variant and engine type (still expect slow climbs though 😛! ) We are also pleased to share that there will be three variants: the iniBuilds A340 Airliner Passenger, the iniBuilds A340 Airliner Preighter (converted passenger variant for freighter operations) and the iniBuilds A340 Airliner ACJ (Luxury configuration). This will all be in one purchase, and be for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 only. We intend to release on both PC and Xbox at the same time now that the Xbox testing pipeline is more advanced and established especially in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. We’ll be sharing much more in the coming weeks, from in-depth previews to deep dives on systems and features, and sound previews - which we are pleased to announce are being developed in collaboration with Echo19 Audio - so be sure to stay tuned! You might wonder, why no cockpit shots? This segment is in full swing, and in the next few weeks we will go into a deeper dive into the cockpit - or should we say cockpitS? CRT's anyone? 😉 Other Project Updates While our focus has recently been on the A350 Airliner and A340 Airliner, we want to take a moment to update you on another major iniBuilds aircraft project that continues to progress in the background: the A380 Airliner. Whilst we do not have any previews for you at this time, we want to take the time to acknowledge this project. A380 Airliner - Development on the iniBuilds A380 Airliner also continues steadily. Most recently, our team gained exclusive access to a full-motion A380 flight simulator, allowing us to collect a heap of new data, including performance data, systems behaviour, cockpit measurements, and other real-world procedural elements. We have also visited an aircraft in storage aiding in numerous data collection points. This data is proving invaluable as we refine the aircraft’s systems, handling, and flight deck functionality, helping ensure the final product delivers not just visual accuracy but also the depth and realism expected of an aircraft this complex. The A380 represents an ambitious long-term effort, and while development evolves at a steady pace, we’re excited to bring more public updates, previews, and feature showcases as the project reaches key milestones. Who's ready for a drink at the bar at 41,000ft? 🍹 We Need Your Help! Airliner Pilots With the active development of both the A340 & A380 Airliners, we’re looking to connect with real-world pilots who have experience flying these aircraft. We have a small subset already, but as we learnt with the A350 Airliner - the sooner we expand our testing set, the better the product we can deliver on launch! If you’re a current or former A340 or A380 pilot, your insight would be invaluable in helping us fine-tune systems behavior, flight dynamics, and procedural accuracy. From subtle handling characteristics to operational quirks and airline-specific flows, the knowledge of those who’ve flown the aircraft firsthand plays a huge role in achieving the highest levels of authenticity. If you’re interested in contributing to the development process and shaping the future of these aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator, we’d love to hear from you.

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!
