Hello all,
It's been a fantastic year thus far and I cannot be more pleased to announce A300 V2 free update is now available and can be downloaded via the iniManager.
To start, this update is FREE for all v1 customers. In our Discord and other places a lot of people have asked so why did it take so long and what did we change?
Below you can find the full set of changes, fixes, improvements and new features found in the A300 v2.
Flight model
• Brand new FM for the A300 V2 vs the V1. Using new Aerofoil data on both the THS and wings.
• New FM taking advantage of the experimental FM in XP.
• New CG calculation allow for more accurate CG across whole flight envelope.
• Landing gear travel range enhanced
• More accurate climb performance in upper FLs due to custom system feeding engine thrust data.
• Enhanced landing feel for even more accuracy.
Systems
ELEC
• STBY generator function adjusted. Added function of self-test when on ground.
• AC BUS1 and AC BUS 2 failure added ELEC system adjusted to respond to this failure
• Dual AC BUS failure added system adjust to match this failure including loss of flight controls and slats and flaps.
• LAND REC function adjusted and enhanced. LAND REC when pressed will now bring back correct flight controls and also bring back slats and flaps operations.
• Flight on battery only items adjusted.
HYD
• Green Yellow and Blue system failures added. Along with dual failures.
• Servo control failures added allowing flight controls to fail for a given HYD system but the rest of the system keeps functioning correctly.
• HYD ACCU logic adjusted and enhanced. You can now empty the ACCU with parking brake applications meaning breaks will eventually fail to hold the aircraft.
• ALTN BRKS function adjusted and enhanced. If brake system selected to ALT or ALT ON and no yellow system pressure ACCU will correctly drain and braking system will be powered from the yellow system.
• SLATS and FLAPS jammed failure added allowing for slats or flaps to be jammed at any point.
• Spoiler failures added.
BLEED
• Bleed output from engines adjusted and enhanced. Bleed output adjusted depending on demand from anti ice and packs etc.
• HP/LP valve logic adjusted and enhanced to be more accurate.
• Pack pre cooler temperature adjusted
• ECAM SD page drawing adjusted to be more accurate.
• APU bleed logic adjusted to correctly close HP valves when selected on.
FUEL
• CGCC target values adjusted and made more accurate.
• General CG change from fuel movement to trim tank adjusted and made more accurate
• Fuel auto feed logic adjusted and enhanced.
• ECAM SD page drawing fully redone with new system giving much more accurate display of the auto fuel feeding process.
• If CG outside of limits ECAM will be triggered and fault light shown on CGCC.
• Trim tank can be filled on the ground via EFB FOB box.
• MTOW adjusted to higher figure. This was done to give more flexibility on longer flights.
• Trim tank logic adjusted with FWD feeding below FL200.
ECAM
• New ECAM system added to give more accurate results due to failures
• Over 150 ECAMs now in for the A300 V2.
• STS page failed items adjusted along with approach conditions. Such as landing distance factors etc. These are now included for many of the failures.
• Door page remade to reflect the real aircraft more accurately along with slide arming and disarming.
IDC
• IDC added as an option, you can toggle this on and off in the EFB.
• IDC allows for Hoppie integration and CPDLC functionality for some VATSIM / IVAO ATC stations.
• CPDLC allows for free text messages to be sent between users and other aircraft and ATC.
• Ability to request PDC from some VATSIM / IVAO ATC stations.
• ATC MSG light added in flight deck along with correct call sound.
• Message sent and received on the IDC can be printed and stored in the fight deck next to the CPT.
• Keyboard input for IDC
• IDC FREQ preset function added so you can store com FREQ. These are saved to a custom file and will stay after you close the sim.
AFS
• Single engine AP operation added.
• Added custom controller for rudder trim. Rudder trim is manual when slats are zero after slats are zero rudder is controlled via the AP
ENG
• Custom EGT system that now more accurately reflects EGT at MCT TOGA and CLB.
• More realistic cooling times and adjusted between GE and PW.
• Starting time adjusted to make even more accurate on both GE and PW.
• N2 / N1 ratio adjusted to make even more accurate.
• Hot starts are now possible with correct ECAM given if EGT goes over set limit.
• Custom oil pressure system added so oil pressure builds during cranking of engine.
• Engine indications are no longer the same.
3D model and textures
• Brand new PW 3D model and textures taken from the A310.
• GE textures enhanced taken across from the A310.
• Rear of aircraft 3D enhanced with new model for THS allowing full animation
• Fuse length corrected
• Nose shaped enhanced and window textures taken across from A310
• Brand new full cargo interior for A300 F allowing full interactive persistent loading of cargo containers
• Brand new textures for fuselage with more wear and tear. This will change per livery.
Sounds
• Brand new GE and PW engine sounds based on the A310
• All switches and sounds assets enhanced from A300 V1, close to all the sounds are taken from a real aircraft with multiple recordings of each switch.
• Cabin sounds enhanced and based on assets taken from a real aircraft.
Failures
• 70 custom failures added. Including Engine failures ELEC system failures and HYD failures.
• Failure system added to the FMS to allow management of failures.
EFB
• Added landing distance module on EFB showing factored and non-factored landing distance for a given auto brake and weight combination.
• Added Avitab integration to allow for chart viewing. Extra download found on forum needed for this function to work.
• Takeoff data allowing more flap settings to be used on given runway lengths
• Added autosave management via the panel states module.
• Load sheet CG slider added, giving you the ability to set your own CG in flight and on the ground.
• GE and PW engine toggle added, allowing you to change engine type after load in or during flight (not recommended)
Autosave
• Added autosave system from A310, this allows automatic saving a set intervals and also custom save states which are persistent.
FMS
• Constant computation of OPT altitudes to give more accurate reading during flight
• Step climbs added. Only 1 step can be used during the CRZ phase as per the real aircraft
• ENG OUT functions added to the FMS including ENG OUT service celling etc.
• TRP FMS ENG OUT logic added.
• Brand new LNAV taken from Beluga and adapted to A300 this system includes fully custom roll channel for the AP, allowing much higher accuracy when flying at higher FLs and during RNAV approaches.
• Keyboard input added for FMS and IDC.
As you can see a lot has been added, and for a visual demonstration of these changes I highly recommend you watch our Walkthrough video which covers a lot of these in a practical manner:If you don't own the A300 you can purchase it here: inib.uk/a300
If you are an A310 customer you receive a 25% discount on the A300. You can find out more here: inib.uk/a300-discount.
NOTE: If you are a VR user - please contact us to access the A300 V1. At this time, VR compatibility is not available for A300 V2. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.Other developments
We have made fantastic progress on the iniSimulations A310-300 ON THE LINE for Microsoft Flight Simulator along with a few other projects and hope to update you on these in the new year!
In the meantime, enjoy the A300V2 update, and happy holidays.
Kind Regards

I take it that this goes for scenery purchased directly through Boundless or VerticalSim?
Verticalsim you will have an option soon.

Cleared up some of these comments:
To summarise:
- We had some server issues on release. No longer an issue. If you are struggling to login - please contact direct support.
- Custom path installation is coming soon.
- No, you cannot transfer ToLiss licenses. Verticalsim you can.
We appreciate some of you would like to do it the old way, but the requests for an updater/manager outweigh this option. What we will do, is act on feedback and make this tool better and more useful for you.
Kind Regards

There is no profile on departure. (VNAV). Only on the descent.
When approaching your TOD, pull the knob with your lower altitude set in the FCU. You will see P.DES in blue on your PFD. This means its armed. When you reach your TOD, it should start the descent automatically.
Alternatively toggling PROFILE when you approaching that point also initiates the descent.-

Hello!
The team has been very hard at work in numerous areas of the business, and we are pleased to report on this in today's development update.
iniManager
As mentioned in last month's development update, this was timetabled for release in October. Our team on this is working very hard to make this a possibility, but release may bleed into early November. This is due to the resolution of some minor bugs in the Mac iteration of the application, and we want all customers to be able to access the iniManager from Day 1! Our apologies in advance, if a delay is indeed experienced.
Once the iniManager is out, our Beluga update will be rolled out. You can read more on the improvements, new cargo models and other features coming to the iniSimulations BelugaST Aircraft here.
iniSimulations A300V2: X-Plane
I am very pleased to finally provide some images of our flagship aircraft; the iniSimulations A300-600R(F) V2.
For those of you not familiar with this update I will summarize below:
The A300V2 is a completely free update for existing customers that provides numerous improvements but also new features to the product based on feedback and the new technologies we have implemented into the BelugaST and A310-300 ON THE LINE aircraft.
These not only include an enhanced and improved 3D model, but the complete implementation of a comprehensive failures package, CPDLC/ACARS integration and autosave; the latter 3 being very welcomed features in our A310 aircraft. This is in addition to the numerous bug resolutions and improvements in various systems.
We have also enhanced certain areas such as the wingflex of the aircraft. Customers can also expect the new sounds first showcased in the A310 to come to the A300.
We also have implemented a complete 3D Freighter cabin along with a highly requested feature of loading and unloading of cargo. As you can see from the images the textures have been completely overhauled and as with all iniSimulations products there will be a wide
selection of liveries available on Day 1 of release from all sides of the spectrum; from super clean to dirty!
We expect the release of this large and significant update before the end of the year.
As mentioned earlier in this update this will be a free update even if you purchase the iniSimulations A300-600R(F) today. If you like what you see, you can purchase this aircraft here store.inibuilds.com as part of our Cross the Pond promotion sale which expires tomorrow!
iniScene: EIKY (MSFS) & KSAT (MSFS & XP) Announcement!
Earlier this month we released our latest scenery piece: iniScene Kerry Airport - EIKY
Our high quality rendition for Microsoft Flight Simulator features a detailed terminal building complimented with a custom interior, accurate taxi signage, bespoke ground polys and textures along with much more to enhance your experience! You can see more info on this here.
In addition to this we very pleased to announce our next project: iniScene San Antonio Airport - KSAT for Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane.
This airport is highly work-in-progress but has made some significant progress in the past couple of weeks! We hope to update you more on this as development progresses.
iniSimulations A310-300 ON THE LINE for Microsoft Flight Simulator
We are super pleased at our progress in Microsoft Flight Simulator and the development in some key areas of the aircraft. As always these images are highly WIP and do not represent the final product.
Work on systems implementation, fonts, textures, sounds and flight modelling are in full steam and we hope to provide updates on each area in the coming months!
Here are some more screenshots of some of the different operators of the aircraft!
We have some work to do on the exterior, but its looking great so far!
Thank you for taking some time in reading this development update and if you have any questions please do ask us and we will be more than happy to respond!
Have a great weekend 🙂
P.S If you are a developer (FS or XP) please do DM me as we are always hiring!
Kind Regards

You have to align the IRS.
Would you like further guidance on this?
Kind Regards -
Switch off the Jetway/GPU setting and it should be fine if you wish to continue using SAM3.

Hello everyone,
I hope you are well! Its been a little over a month since our last update and we have a lot of things to discuss today so let's jump straight in!
X-Plane 11&12 : A300V2 & Beluga
What a month it has been! I know we are all super excited about X-Plane 12, and the awesome features that are coming to LR's latest simulator.
To address the obvious question... at this time we have no position / anything to comment regarding the new sim as we do not have access to the Beta builds! As soon as we do, we will let you know (when we can of course!). However the new features / improvements to our products won't stop... nor will there be disparity between two different versions of our products against the simulators (XP11 /XP12). That leads me nicely into showcasing the upcoming A300ST Beluga update!
Over the past few months, based on customer feedback we have been working on providing more cargo options to this product!
I attach some pictures of these below:
These four new cargo options will be coming in the next update along with the enhanced CPDLC features first showcased on the A310, and the experimental flight model auto enabled for the upmost convenient flying experience!
Work on our A300V2 is in full swing, and we have some fantastic things to showcase, in the next few weeks! A reminder (as I have seen some confusion on this), all the new features, and improvements are completely free in this V2 for our current customers. You can read some more on what is to come here: https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/2566-inisimulations-a300-600rf-project-update-whats-coming/
These updates will come once the iniManager is released later this month! You can check out the trailer for our new tool here.
I have seen some confusion on this too so let me clarify:We have spent the past few months innovating and investing in a brand-new all-in-one product management desktop app to complement our modern, unique store for our products the developers that we publish for.
The iniManager offers an easy, one-click install and updating system. The app installs all owned products, and intelligently updates products when a new version is pushed. Products can be updated without the need for action from the user utilising automatic updates or by manually updating the product. When an update is published, the iniManager won’t touch activation files, installed liveries or preference files, removing the need for reactivation.
The application directly links in with our online store, allowing users to login using their store accounts and immediately have access to all of their products, along with discovering new products.
The iniManager retains the current DRM (ex. SASL) processes in place for all products - the ultimate goal is simplify the installation and updating process for all iniBuilds Store products.
iniScene
We are super grateful for the amazing response iniScene Queenstown (NZQN received). It was a fantastic project, and our first product made for Microsoft Flight Simulator from the ground up. For our X-Plane 11/12 customers, rest assured we will be releasing the XP version some point this year!
Work on Beauvais (LFOB) and our other projects continue, and we hope to showcase something later this month for an international airport in the USA. 😉
Microsoft Flight Simulator
I am very pleased to announce the iniSimulations A310-300 will be coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
We have been in awe with the simulator, and are super excited with what the next few months have to bring. I attach some highly WIP images of the aircraft!
Work on the systems, flight modelling and 3D art are making fantastic progress and we felt it was an appropriate time to reveal the progress thus far. No timelines or release dates of course at this time.
Our 'secret project airliner' is also making excellent progress, and if all goes to plan we should be showcasing her before the end of the year!
An exciting time for us over at iniBuilds, and I hope our customers are as excited as us, and ready for the next few months! To speak to us in real time, join our Discord here - https://inib.uk/discord
All the best, and have a lovely weekend!
Kind Regards,
Ubaid-

Agree. I'm not opposing the payware updates for aircraft to next X-Plane version. But there are one "But". Product level currently is uprgraded default with really good visuals. It even has no gyro drift, and IF product update for X-Plane 12 (even with functions/features update) will be payware I'll leave. Your aircraft costs not 40 or 50 dollars. It costs 70 pounds, like one good another Airbus from another good developer but Airbus from iniSimulations with same price and not that good quality level of systems has a price of that one which has worse level of detailing. If update will be payware it will make gulf between guys who scream "AMAZING! HOW GOOD! LOOK AT THIS BEATIFUL A300 SCREENSHOT! #A300" who not want to invest some time to learn something, get deeper in this plane and even make some bug reports, and guys like me, who reads manuals and other documentation instead of watching video tutorials and want just to make product better with deeper systems and features. But of course, it's all buisiness. IMHO. Oops, almost forgot, question i really want to ask for iniSimulations dev. team - why I should buy another your aircraft? Good visuals doesn't count.
We have not mentioned anything regarding XP12, or what the updates will consider.
As far as we are concerned we will continue developing our products, adding new features in XP11 or 12. We do not have access to the beta builds of XP12 yet, so we really cannot comment.-

Yes, I understand that, and now we all know even if it wasn’t hard to guess.
In my opinion, rain effects should be offered as standard in all high end products, including your A300 & A310 products.
I always felt that you were better than choosing to not say anything, but I was wrong, hence my disappointment.
It seems as if customers wanting rain effects in their IS A300/A310 aircraft will have to wait until XP12, which will arrive at cost for platform as well as potential product upgrade costs.
Some users may choose to not upgrade to XP12, so they’ll be stuck without rain effects in a high end product.
Honestly, I expected more from you, perhaps even implementing rain effects of your own design, like other developers.
We would of loved too. But Librain simply is not compatible the way it used to be in OGL. Hence why it was never available.
The moment we have the ability to provide rain effects and compatibility in XP11 we 100% will (Librain fully working in Vulkan). But from our side, it does not warrant development time creating our own solution when the future, inevitable sim (XP12), which is coming, has this feature by default.
Some will agree, some will disagree, but sadly that is where we have to leave it.-

You can copy your install... but fail that, re-install would be best
