iniBuilds A350 Airliner V1.1.7 Update 🚀 Today is an exciting day for our A350 community, as we are releasing a major new update featuring extensive bug fixes, strong performance improvements, and a refined audio experience. v1.1.7 is now available via the iniManager. Marketplace update has been submitted today. To celebrate Black Friday, the iniBuilds A350 Airliner is now 35% off for 1 week only! - our largest discount ever on this aircraft. If you've been waiting for the right moment to experience this iconic jet, now's your chance. This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. Performance As highlighted in our recent A340 Airliner update, we have continued refining the internal processes and optimisation tools that made the A340’s performance possible — with the primary goal of bringing those same improvements over to the A350. With this update, we are pleased to report significant performance gains across the board. Our teams have pushed hard to optimise every area of the aircraft, resulting in a noticeably smoother and more consistent experience, especially for those on mid-range or older hardware, while still delivering benefits for high-end systems. Let’s take a closer look at what v1.1.7 introduces. Default Cabin Optimisations The A350 launched with a substantial focus on cabin detail and fidelity, supported by our optional cabin packs. However, based on your feedback, many pilots prefer a lighter, performance-focused cabin — similar to what we introduced with the A340. In response, we’ve developed a new performance-friendly default cabin variant as standard. For most users, this means you should no longer need to rely on the “No Cabin” version when flying the A350-900 or -1000 purely for performance reasons. The “No Cabin” option will remain available for those who prefer it or require it for compatibility. As part of our commitment to consistently improve performance across all iniBuilds aircraft, we have made the strategic decision to sunset the A350 cabin packs from v1.1.7 onward. Doing so allows our teams to focus entirely on optimising the core product experience rather than maintaining multiple cabin variants. To be clear: ✔ Custom cabin livery textures are still fully supported across all default cabin variants. ❌ Only the unique cabin layout models for specific operators are being retired. The crusade for better performance did not stop at the cabins. Our technical art teams have continued pushing to squeeze every possible ounce of performance out of the A350. Texture Optimisation Starting with textures, we have now made reduced-resolution textures standard across the A350. We have taken great care to ensure this has no noticeable impact on visual fidelity, and in testing, we do not expect users to see any difference in day-to-day flying. Node Count Reductions Another area we targeted was node count. In a 3D model, node count refers to the number of individual objects, instances, or helper nodes in a scene. It is one of the biggest contributors to CPU load, especially for users on mid to lower-end processors compared to those, for example, on the latest Ryzen X3D chips. We have reduced the A350’s node count by several thousand on different models, which should provide a positive improvement to main thread performance for users who previously struggled with CPU limitations. Wingflex System Improvements To achieve natural wing movement, we use a skin-and-bone animation system. Previously, this involved a high number of active bones influencing the mesh, which added CPU cost, especially under dynamic environmental effects such as snow or weathering. We have reduced the number of bones used in this setup by over 50%, which should deliver noticeable gains for CPU-limited users. LOD Refinements We have also selectively reworked several LODs. While this alone does not dramatically increase FPS, it significantly improves the smoothness of transitions between LOD levels, reducing micro-stutters when moving around the aircraft. As with all major technical updates, unexpected issues may arise due to the wide variety of PC configurations. If you encounter any anomalies, please report them through our usual support channels so we can continue refining the aircraft. Important: All installed liveries and livery packs must be updated. Old versions may result in missing exterior components or other anomalies. Updated livery files will be available via iniManager on release day, and on the Marketplace once approved. Performance Statistics – MSFS 2024 We’ve stated that performance has improved — but what evidence do we have to support that? Below are key statistics from our testing that clearly demonstrate the performance gains and highlight the improvements we’ve made. Test specs: Ryzen 7800X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 2080. A350-900, Default Cabin Selected v1.1.7 delivers a clear increase in average framerates, but more importantly, a substantial improvement in 1% and 0.2% low frametimes. These reductions in frame-time variation translate to a much smoother, more stable experience. Stutters are also significantly reduced. In previous builds, fewer than 45% of frames were classified as “smooth” on this setup. In v1.1.7, this figure now exceeds 85% in most cases. Frame-time spikes greater than 4ms have been reduced by 90%, resulting in consistent, fluid motion even in demanding environments. TL;DR — If you previously struggled with performance on the A350, we strongly recommend giving this update a try. You may be pleasantly surprised. Performance Statistics – MSFS 2020 The MSFS 2020 version of the A350 has also received targeted optimisation work. While the gains are smaller than in MSFS 2024, we observed measurable improvements in 1% and 0.2% lows, alongside smoother behaviour in specific high-load scenarios. Your mileage may vary depending on hardware, but most users should see some benefit. Sound Updates Our second focus topic for this update is the new and improved soundscape that is now available for the iniBuilds A350 Airliner. Is this a completely brand new sound pack? No, but we expect you will find it an overall improvement to the fidelity, and authenticity of the aircraft. We think you’ll notice the depth and clarity they’ve brought to the aircraft and want to thank Echo19 Audio for their contributions to the update. In this update, we’ve delivered broad refinements across the aircraft’s audio environment to enhance clarity, balance, and spatial realism. Direct areas are highlighted below, but overall improvements include a more natural cabin ambience, smoother and better-blended engine tones and attenuation, and more accurate cockpit cues that reduce unnecessary noise. For those who may have felt the audible experience was subpar due to mixing, or sounds not loading due to LOD issues; all of these have been reviewed and resolved in this update. We’ve also improved the AI traffic audio cues as well as fixed as series of minor issues to create a more authentic soundscape. We hope they enhance your experience and encourage you to turn up the volume on all your future flights! So what has changed? While not all encompassing, we’ve provided a few examples below to showcase the updates and highlight areas we feel are much improved. Cockpit and Cabin Ambience/Spatialization Engine “buzzsaw” on takeoff from cockpit and cabin External aircraft and equipment sounds and ambience TERRAIN DATABASE: Starting with v1.1.7, you can now download the terrain database locally to the aircraft’s working directory (A340 customers will be familiar with this process).

Hello everyone! We’re excited to bring you the A340 Airliner v1.04 update, a release that advances the aircraft in some big ways! Over the past weeks, our teams have been working to refine core systems, improving audio behaviour, and expanding functionality across the board. This update marks a major milestone for the A340 Airliner, introducing a complete rework of the EIS1 display logic, enhanced DMC behaviour, a brand-new cold and dark startup flow, and a fully featured ATSU/AOC suite that elevates the whole operational experience from pre-flight through shutdown. There’s a lot packed into this one, so let’s dive into what’s new. Display Unit and DMC Behaviour Overhaul A major highlight of this update is the complete overhaul of the EIS1 display logic and several core DMC behaviours, bringing the aircraft much closer to the authentic older-generation Airbus standard. If you’re powering up from cold and dark, you’ll spot the changes right away. Each display unit now begins with a single white diagonal line during startup, a visual cue that the screen has power but hasn’t yet begun receiving data from the DMC. If you remember the A300, this symbol was also used when its signal generator units were manually selected off. It is another authentic carry-over from the earlier Airbus widebody lineage. Automatic Display Reversion and E/WD Priority Logic The Engine and Warning Display (E/WD) is one of the most important screens in the cockpit, and its priority rules are now fully simulated. If the upper DU fails or is manually turned off, the E/WD will automatically transfer to the lower DU without any pilot action. In an electrical fault scenario, having to manually move engine indications to check status would be the last thing you want. This logic works in reverse as well. When the upper DU comes back online, the E/WD automatically returns to it. You can test these behaviours directly through the EFB failures menu. PFD and ND Transfer Logic The PFD now includes full reversion logic as well. If the DU it is assigned to fails, the PFD will automatically transfer to an available display, ensuring continuous flight information is always visible. Unlike the E/WD, however, the PFD does not automatically switch back when the original screen is restored. This reflects real-world Airbus operation, where the pilot must manually use the PFD/ND transfer pushbutton to return the display to its original DU. Single Display Unit Operation and Advisory Logic Operating in single-DU mode introduces a unique Airbus design quirk that is now fully modeled. In normal operation, the system would automatically call up the appropriate system page and highlight it when a parameter drifts out of limits. But with only one DU available, the aircraft cannot display that page directly. Instead, Airbus uses an advisory memo (ADV) on the upper display, while the ECAM panel flashes the relevant system page light to prompt the pilot to press and hold it to view the affected parameter. After some work from the team refining this, the behaviour is now fully simulated. Additionally, when flying with only the upper DU, page selections and the STS page require you to press and hold the button to display them. If the ECAM/ND selector is used, the system correctly reverts back to dual-operation logic. Flight Data and Initialization Enhancements AOC Flight Plan Uplink The A340 Airliner now supports AOC flight plan uplinks, allowing operational flight plans to be automatically received and loaded into the aircraft. This includes route information, cost index, cruise levels, and wind data, all inserted digitally without any need for manual transcribing. The workflow from Simbrief loadsheets is fully preserved, ensuring a seamless and efficient preflight process. Performance and Takeoff Data Performance and takeoff data has also been improved. The aircraft now supports automatic V-speeds, flex temperature settings, and thrust rating uplinks, making preflight preparation faster and more accurate while closely reflecting real-world airline operations. Loadsheet and Ground Operations Digital Loadsheet Delivery The A340 Airliner now features an updated digital loadsheet delivery. After importing from Simbrief, a preliminary loadsheet is immediately received, providing an initial overview of the flight’s payload. Once the EFB loading process is complete, a final loadsheet is automatically sent, with passenger and cargo values reflecting a realistic airline workflow from start to finish. OCM (Operational Control Messages) The A340 Airliner now includes updated Operational Control Message (OCM) functionality. This system handles company delay messages, diversion requests, and post-flight reports including fuel burn. It also features fully automated OOOI tracking, recording off-block, airborne, landing, and in-block times to provide an accurate overview of the flight from start to finish. New ATC Messaging Capabilities ATC Requests via AOC The A340 Airliner also now offers enhanced ATC messaging capabilities through AOC integration. Pilots can send oceanic clearance requests and position reports directly from the aircraft, with all messages routed efficiently via the DCDU or MCDU. This streamlines communication and ensures procedures closely match real-world airline operations. What This Update Means for Long Hauls This update takes the A340 Airliner well beyond a traditional MCDU-focused workflow and turns it into a fully connected airline operations experience. Long-haul flying gets the biggest boost, with a far more procedural, automated, and immersive flow from pre-flight all the way through to shutdown.

Hello, welcome to Manchester Airport (EGCC)! 🛫🌦️ We’re thrilled to announce that the next addition to our UK airport collection is nearing completion! Manchester International Airport, one of the busiest and most iconic gateways in the country, and a true aviation hub of the North! Our Visit to Manchester Back in October, our team had the incredible opportunity to visit Manchester Airport in person for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour with the airport’s management team. From the busy Terminal 2 redevelopment to the extensive airside details, we captured thousands of reference photos and textures, comparing every detail between the real-world airport and our in-sim environment. It was fantastic to gain direct insight into daily operations, design updates, and future expansion plans, all of which have helped us recreate the airport with great accuracy. We had the incredible opportunity to drive down the taxiways and service roads, capturing extensive reference material for everything from ground markings and stop points to vehicle layouts and equipment placement. We also explored the range of ground service equipment (GSE) scattered across the airport from different GHAs, an sight that truly reflects Manchester’s scale and activity. One of the highlights of our visit was gaining exclusive early access to the brand-new Terminal 2 pier, thanks to the support of the airport’s management team. With construction areas still closed to the public, we were able to photograph every detail, from the freshly installed ADB Safegate systems to the latest jetways, ensuring our in-sim recreation captures this modern expansion with fantastic accuracy. On the left of these following images, is the real life reference, on the right, their in-sim counterpart! Please keep in mind, this project is still a WIP and may be missing certain elements that will be rectified prior to public release. Community-Driven Project This project has been special for us, built not only with reference material and data, but with the people who live and work there every day. Our development team has been collaborating closely with members of the Manchester Airport Group and the wider aviation community, including ramp staff, engineers, and pilots who call EGCC home. Their feedback has been invaluable, from ensuring airside vehicle layouts match real-world operations, to helping us fine-tune building placements, signage, and lighting for a truly authentic feel. Scenery Features: Hand-made ground textures with crisp, bespoke texture sets for runways, aprons, paths, and roads True-to-life airport landside recreation with custom ground decals, signposts, vegetation, parking barriers, and more Accurately modeled and positioned dynamic airport lighting for enhanced realism 180+ hand-crafted models featuring custom-made buildings, vehicles, and objects Hand crafted terminals with crisp textures providing a fresh, modern appearance HD jetways with intricate details enhancing the airport's realism Highly detailed models of all airport buildings, objects, and surroundings Full HD ground poly matching the 2025 airport layout Up-to-date airport layout reflecting the current, real-world location Official GSX profile included in the scenery folder and iniManager download Level of Detail (LOD) optimization for every model ensuring the best performance possible Use of the latest MSFS2024 SDK features for optimal performance and smooth experience Bespoke taxi signage true to real-world specifications Full iniManager compatibility allowing easy configuration for optimal performance on your system With Airliners Live, Manchester Airport Group, and local community contributors all involved, this is a scenery built on passion and shared interest, to celebrate one of the UK’s most important aviation hubs.

iniBuilds A340 Airliner V1.0.3 Update 🚀 Hello again! First off, we’ve been absolutely thrilled with the community’s response to the release of our A340 Airliner. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see the feedback and excitement around the aircraft’s visuals, system fidelity, and the performance improvements we’ve achieved - setting a new standard for what an airliner can deliver in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Behind the scenes, our teams have continued refining tools and introducing new techniques that made the A340 Airliner possible - and we’re already working to bring many of these enhancements to the A350 Airliner very soon. For version 1.0.3 of the A340 Airliner, we’ve focused on addressing key pieces of community feedback that came in even before release. While our initial schedule and commitments meant some of these adjustments couldn’t make it into the launch build, we’ve taken the time to carefully review and refine areas such as the wing and main landing gear to ensure everything looks and behaves just as it should. Enough intro - let’s get into the details you’re here for. This update can be downloaded via the In-Game Marketplace. Art Updates Even before release, we were aware that certain aspects of the A340’s wing geometry had become a talking point amongst those with a heightened attention to detail in the community. Our art team took a step back to investigate where these discrepancies came from and quickly identified that our original wing layouts and reference data contained some distortion. After reaching out to our partners, we gathered a fresh set of references and reassembled new, accurate layouts for our 3D models, further verifying them against technical drawings to ensure we’d get it right this time. As is often the case, once one component is corrected, it has a knock-on effect elsewhere. In this case, adjustments to the wing required a full rework of the main landing gear, including a complete recalibration of the wheel tilt and positioning to align everything with the updated data. This update addresses around 30 individual and multi-point bugs related to the accuracy of the wing and main landing gear. We hope those of you with a sharp eye for detail (yes, you know who you all are) will appreciate the improvements, and we look forward to hearing your feedback. Please note that as a result of these changes, all decal-based liveries will require an update - meaning any liveries you have from iniManager, will have updates available on release day, including Marketplace livery packs for Xbox users. Key Features of the iniBuilds A340 Airliner It’s worth mentioning that any further large-scale changes or structural reworks like the wing and MLG in v1.0.3 won’t appear too quickly for any further discrepancies that come out of feedback and internal testing. Major revisions require significant time and resources, often involving texture, model, animation, livery and integration teams who have already moved onto other projects. Beyond the major changes, a handful of bugs have been resolved from internal and community feedback which you can read in-detail on the changelog. Systems Updates While this update is brief on the systems side, the next one is already shaping up to include a much larger range of improvements and new features. For now, here’s a quick overview of what’s been added and refined in version 1.0.3. Gear Compression Flight Model Update In parallel with the art updates to the gear and tire compression, the flight model has been refined to more accurately simulate weight-on-wheels behavior and gear compression characteristics. Constant Mach Added A new constant Mach function has been introduced to the FMGS. This mode allows the A340 Airliner to maintain a fixed Mach number, rather than relying on variable cruise speeds from a cost index. It’s particularly useful when operating in procedural environments such as the North Atlantic High Level Airspace. General Fixes A number of visual and logical discrepancies in the FMGS and DCDU have been corrected, improving overall system accuracy. Minor updates have also been made to VNAV calculations, providing smoother and more consistent flight path predictions. All of the above lays the groundwork for more significant systems updates coming soon, including broader flight model refinements, deeper avionics features such as AOC/ATC integration, and expanded WINWING support planned for the next release. Thank you to everyone for being part of this journey with the A340 Airliner. We can’t wait to see you in the virtual skies soon! ____________________________________________ V1.0.3SYSTEMS ⚙️FIXED Memo: missing MAN LDG ELEV when using the overhead knob FIXED Gravity gear not working with GREEN SYS failure and selected down FIXED When DC 1 + 2 fault gear will not come down even with gravity EXT FIXED IR issue still not fixed and this is what caused drama on 350.

Key Features of the iniBuilds A340 Airliner 🧑‍✈️ Realistic Flight Systems The iniBuilds A340 Airliner features some deep and immersive system simulation, designed to replicate the real aircraft. You can expect the usual key features from our Airliner series to be included with the A340 Airliner too! Everything from a fully custom FMS, that contains the depth you’ve come to expect with SIDs, STARs, SEC flight plans and more. To the custom LNAV/VNAV including; support of altitude/speed constraints, all of which is precisely flown by the bespoke autoflight system, ensuring a smooth journey from A to B. Please note that offsets will be coming soon. We’ve also included CPDLC integration, allowing you to stay up-to-speed with your flight, with the ability to request ATIS/METAR and use the free-text functionality to speak with ATC units throughout the duration of your flights. Our team has ensured that the quality of modelling is up to the standards of our Airliner series as well, with a highly-detailed cabin model, 1:1 flight deck model and an array of crisp, low performance impact textures to go alongside. All of this adds up to an iniBuilds Airliner experience that should keep you coming back to this aircraft for a long time to come! Moving on to some quality of life features - the aircraft includes a fully configurable autosave system, allowing users to set intervals for automatic saves, create manual quick saves at any time, and rename or delete files as needed. CPDLC integration through platforms like Hoppie enables ATIS/METAR requests, mailbox functions, and full data-link communication with controllers, with the ATC source entirely user-configurable. Additional system realism comes from geo-specific GPS jamming, which can impact TCAS and GPWS, while the EFB tracks aircraft maintenance parameters such as oil, hydraulic, battery, brake, and tire wear. Legacy avionics are also represented with ISIS and standby instruments featuring caging animations, while both EIS1 and EIS2 options are supported to reflect the differences between classic CRT displays and modern glass cockpits. The aircraft also includes a Para Visual Indicator for low-visibility operations, an integrated printer for flight plans, takeoff data, and weather reports, and dynamic cabin temperature simulation that reacts to pack output, ambient conditions, and door states. There's also full terrain radar support, Navigraph and Lido chart integration, and GSX-compatible ground handling ensure an authentic and comprehensive operational experience, we'll dive into some more details on some of these below! You can also read our "Systems Development Update", which goes into some extreme detail of the dev process that this aircraft went through in the build up to our release! ⚠️ECAM & Failures The A340 Airliner is equipped with over 100 fully modeled ECAM pages covering critical ATA chapters including electrical, hydraulic, fuel, ice protection, engines, and navigation systems. Custom failure scenarios replicate real-world contingencies, from bird strikes to GPS jamming, with dynamic system degradations that challenge users to troubleshoot accurately. Combined with the EFB and in-cockpit interaction, this provides both a training and immersive operational experience, allowing users to engage with the aircraft’s systems at a highly realistic level. 🛫 True-to-Life Cockpit: EIS1 & EIS2 The iniBuilds A340 features two cockpit configurations, each represented both visually and in systems logic: EIS1: Classic CRT displays with a retro, low-res aesthetic, convex-faced PFDs, pixelated terrain masks, and traditional standby instruments (RMI, artificial horizon, altimeter, airspeed indicator). This cockpit also reflects its age with more “used and abused” panels, warmer panel lighting with defects (varying tones), old-style data loader visuals, and the option of a Para-Visual Indicator (PVI) instrument. EIS2: Serving as the primary development focus, EIS 2 has been refined and is a modern glass cockpit layout, with advanced displays and navigation functionality. EIS1 and EIS2 aren’t just visual differences, the EIS1 ND faithfully reproduces quirks like route curves only appearing when a direct-to or hold is inserted, the terrain radar visual appearance, all capturing the character of older Airbus avionics. 💺 Cabin & Exterior Detailing For the first time in an iniBuilds aircraft, light-based Ambient Occlusion bakes are applied throughout the cockpit, giving a realistic sense of depth. Tuned cockpit lighting, windshield rain with functioning wipers, and highly crisp PBR textures coming from thousands of photos and reference data all combined to make the cockpit feel alive. Users can also use functional tray tables, operational canopy windows, and an integrated printer. In the cabin, the A340 Airliner delivers our most optimized and fully-featured 3D interior to date, now provided as the default option due to negligible performance impact. A default German airline–inspired three-class layout is included, complete with functioning galleys, lavatories (yes, with working flush buttons), ambient dimmable lighting, and seatbelt/no-smoking annunciators. The “preighter” option mirrors real-world A340 cargo conversion programs, loading the cabin with up to eight container types including live animals, medical supplies, food, and biohazards. 🛠️ Ground Service Equipment & Customisations The iniBuilds A340 Airliner comes with a variety of interactive ground service equipment, including chocks, pitot/static port covers, engine covers, ASU, ACU, walkable engine and APU service stairs, and SATCOM antenna options. Additional features include brake fans, ice detectors, and multiple fuselage hatches and service panels that can be opened during walkarounds (fuel panel, potable water, gear doors, external power, and more). These walkaround interactables add another layer of realism for users who enjoy that walkaround phase as well. 🎧 Immersive Sound-suite The A340 Airliner comes alive with a highly detailed soundsuite, featuring high-fidelity recordings of the CFM56 engines. Cockpit noises, flap motor whines, hydraulic sounds, and ambient cabin effects combine to deliver an audio experience that closely mirrors reality. Engine start, taxi, takeoff, and in-flight operations are all accompanied by accurate acoustic feedback, all of which increases that overall immersion factor for every phase of the flight! 🌍 Navigation & Flight Planning Advanced navigation and flight planning are core to the A340 Airliner experience. Full MCDU, DCDU, and ACARS integration allows seamless data-link communication with controllers, weather requests, and route management. The aircraft supports CPDLC integration with Hoppie, SayIntentions, and BeyondATC, enabling real-time clearances and communications. Additional instruments between the cockpit options allow for different operational edges, including EIS1 and EIS2 displays, the ISIS system, standby instruments, and the Para Visual Indicator for low-visibility operations. The ND features a Minimum Off-Route Altitude (MORA) grid for enhanced terrain awareness, providing users with critical en-route obstacle information during every flight. You can manage multiple flight plans at once, add your own custom waypoints, and fly full VNAV and LNAV procedures just like in the real world. The aircraft works seamlessly with Navigraph and SimBrief, giving you up-to-date charts, accurate SIDs and STARs, and all the route info you need. This means you can plan your flights properly, make changes on the go, and follow realistic procedures from departure to arrival, making every flight feel genuinely operational. 🏔️ Custom Terrain Radar & Weather Situational awareness is further enhanced through custom terrain radar, wipeable rain masks, and a comprehensive suite of atmospheric effects. Realistic wing vortices, condensation trails, and vapor effects respond dynamically to weather conditions, while environmental interactions like rain on the windscreen or over-wing condensation contribute to a highly convincing visual and operational experience. 📱 Feature-Rich EFB & GSX Integration The A340 Airliner's Electronic Flight Bag has received a major overhaul, offering a clean, intuitive interface for flight planning, ground operations, and maintenance management. Users can control ground equipment such as GPUs, chocks, maintenance engine covers & so much more, while SimBrief integration allows direct flight plan import and auto pre-planning. Geo-referenced charts, Lido integration, and customizable day/night chart modes. The EFB also includes a comprehensive aircraft maintenance system, tracking wear and tear on oil, hydraulics, brakes, tires, batteries, and the APU, with a failure manager to trigger ECAM procedures, simulate bird strikes, or run custom scenarios. Dynamic dirt, weathering, and snow accumulation can be applied automatically or adjusted via a slider for immediate visual updates. The EFB also houses a takeoff and landing performance tool and full custom options management, letting you customise everything from autosave behavior to third-party integrations. ✈️ Flight Model & Performance The flight model of the A340 Airliner has been carefully developed using MSFS 2024’s advanced aerodynamic systems, including a new fuselage object implementation that ensures accurate CFD-based behavior. On the ground, the aircraft benefits from the simulator’s new taxi physics, providing realistic weight and response through the nose wheel, with skidding possible under aggressive inputs. Wing flex dynamically adapts to fuel load, braking, and environmental factors, while the custom flap and slat simulation allows precise control in slats-only configurations. Engine behavior includes EGT, fuel flow, FADEC, oil pressure, and thrust refinements, mimicking the A340’s famously underpowered acceleration and climb performance. Fly-by-wire logic has been tuned for heavier, less reactive handling compared to modern Airbus models, while flare and rotation techniques are critical to avoid tail strikes. Every detail, from takeoff to touchdown, has been carefully calibrated to ensure that the aircraft behaves like its real-world counterpart. 🎨 Visual Effects & Immersion The A340 Airliner’s visual effects have been designed to immerse the user fully. Engine heat blur, exhaust distortion, and realistic condensation effects bring the aircraft to life, while cold start smoke, dynamic over-wing vortices, and vapor trails react to environmental conditions. Combined with the highly detailed exterior and interior modeling, these effects elevate the aircraft beyond visual fidelity to deliver a fully engaging simulation.
