  2. Hello everyone, and we have some extremely exciting news to update you on! ๐Ÿ”ฅ Our official summer event starts tomorrow! Be sure to have downloaded the latest iniManager or join our Discord. Each day, we will have an awesome discount for 24 hrs only, or a new product release by iniBuilds or one of our exclusive partners. This week we have two new partners being announced bringing you some unique products! The event will start on the 24th August at 5pm BST, with a new deal being revealed daily at 5pm BST, for the grand finale product on the 28th August! ๐Ÿฅณ ๐ŸŒด iniBuilds A300-600 Development Update 2 for Microsoft Flight Simulator Back in June during FSExpo 2023, we launched our first development update for our flagship product the iniBuilds A300-600. If you are new to this project I highly recommend you go check that out here, where we talk about the project overall, some of the cargo options available to transport and a brief summary of the features that are going to be covered from systems to variants. Today, I hope to provide more clarify on some of those updates, with some fresh new pics of the project (as we know how much you all love pictures! ๐Ÿ˜‰), and discuss some of the hard work gone into the project over the past few months. iniBuilds A300-600: 3D Model & Textures The exterior boasts meticulous attention to detail, with each rivet, screw, panel gap, and placard thoughtfully recreated using high-resolution decal sheets, leaving no room for compromise when it comes to quality. The cabin and cargo doors have been masterfully recreated, complete with intricate animations that encompass not only the main access doors but also demonstrates a level of detail that extends to even the smallest access points and their corresponding controls. The depth of detail extends even to the smallest features, as evidenced by the fully operational models of the nose gear interphone panel, external power panel, and main cargo door control panel. Immersive in every detail; the liveries authentically embrace each operator's unique identity, adorned with precise stencils and markings. These liveries are super detailed showcasing the artful application of weathering effects that mirror the genuine accumulation of wear and tear from the skies. We hope you like what you see when it comes to the 3D model and textures. Its truly some of our best work yet, and we can't wait for you all to see this for yourself ๐Ÿฅณ ๐Ÿ”ฅ iniBuilds A300-600: Systems & Flight-model In the last update we provided, we talking about some of the key features this product is going to include such as; comprehensive systems simulation, realistic flight model, full ACARS, CPDLC simulation, and a whole lot more! ๐ŸŽ‰ Today, we are going to discuss these in more detail and what things we have worked on in the past few months ๐Ÿ˜‰ The iniBuilds A300-600 uses the latest simulation techniques available in its flight model & systems. These include: โ€ข CFD simulation being run over the wings and tail of the aircraft and reinjected back into the aircraft's flight model. The A300 was built from the start with this technology in mind. โ€ข Improved ground effect model also using CFD technology. โ€ข Accurate drag and engine thrust simulation throughout the flight envelope. Brand new auto flight system built from the ground up. New parts of this system include: New Flight directors giving better smoother guidance. New Autoland system including new LOC and GS laws. New AP handling. This will overhaul LVL CHANGE V/S and all other basic modes for smoother more accurate flying. New LNAV system better able to handle more complex SIDs and STARs. Improved core system logic. A lot of work has been underway updating our systems and refining them to a fantastic standard, and our in-house pilot testing team are loving the results. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ›ซ This is going to be the last development update till we get into final testing and release preparation, so I would like to wrap up this development update with a plan for release and how things are going to be shipped. To those of you, who were concerned about the PW variant; I have some good news. We are going to introduce this into the package for free. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Stage 1 Release: GE Freighter & Passenger (v1.00) before the end of 2023. ๐Ÿฅณ GE Freighter GE PAX Stage 1 Hotfix before the end of 2023 (free update) ๐Ÿ”ฅ Stage 2 Update: PW Update, IDC addition & Bug fixes early 2024 (free update) ๐Ÿฅณ PW Freighter PW PAX IDC Panel update in cockpit: This is the modern radio panel option, whereby we will simulate full CPDLC & ACARS via Hoppie along with the modern radio unit function.

    Take-off trim

    Hi, Thanks for your post. At heavy weights on the A310 slats only takeoff can be quite heavy. If you are regularly doing heavy take-offs please try using 15/15 or 15/20 this will give lighter rotation forces at higher weights. Also, one thing to note, please make sure you have exactly the correct trim set as it can be very easy to leave the default trim setting of 1 UP in and this can give strange rotation forces. Finally, make sure you load the aircraft first and then do the takeoff performance calculation otherwise the takeoff figures will be based on the default loaded weight. Many thanks,

  19. Hello everyone! We are super glad to be providing a fantastic offer on our X-Plane Airbus products as part of Day 6 of May Mayhem! Both the iniSimulations A300 and Beluga ST available for ยฃ9.99 GBP each for only 24 hrs for XP11. We also have the pleasure of announcing the iniSimulations A300-600R(F) & the iniSimulations Beluga ST are going to be provided with beta compatibility for X-Plane 12! These planes now have updates available via the iniManager to allow customers to have these aircraft functional in X-Plane 12 for free! Changelog: A300 & Beluga ST XP12: Flight model: โ€ข Adjusted aerofoils to better reflect supercritical aerofoils MCRIT. Fuse body area rule adjusted on A300 F and PAX to reduce drag and better reflect performance. โ€ข Weight and balance system changed to new XP12 payload system. This allows for better CG in A300 PAX and F along with payloads that now dynamically adjust vertically for the Beluga ST โ€ข Adjust engine performance to better reflect thrust output during climb and CRZ phase in XP12 โ€ข Adjust drag profile of A300 PAX and F to better reflect flag drag. โ€ข Adjusted Beluga ST fuel burn profile using XP12s more fine FF adjustments โ€ข Adjusted empty weight CG position for A300F PAX and Beluga Systems: โ€ข Change flap system to work in XP12 for A300 and Beluga โ€ข Custom fuel flow adjusted to work in XP12 for the A300 and Beluga โ€ข Change EFB CG slider to work with XP 12 weight and balance. โ€ข Adjusted start times to work with XP12 engine model. โ€ข Updated Airac reading to work with XP12. Art/ lights: โ€ข Updated A300 and Beluga to use XP12 lights in both the flight deck and exterior. โ€ข Adjusted elements of flight deck to work better in XP12s lighting environment. We have also pushed small updates to the BelugaST adding back in some cargo options (for both X-Plane 11 & X-Plane 12). Some known things to be aware about: - Due to weather system changes in XP12, the METAR/ATIS request functions will no longer work. - Upon first load you may receive an error prompt regarding sounds. Dismiss this, and activate the aircraft and reload the sim. The error message will no longer appear. - Due to the significant changes in the lighting system, lights will look different to XP11. - Please note Mac&Linux testing has not been conducted on the XP12 updates. - More issues may be present, but this is an open beta, and there are no current timelines in place to resolve items (Please bear this in mind!). We hope you enjoy this sale, and the XP12 compatibility! Please do remember to fully re-load XP after activation. Please note the A310 is no longer on sale, and will not be receiving XP12 compatibility.

    Private (VP-CTY) livery for the PMDG BBJ for MSFS.
  22. Thanks... the reason for those quick functions of sending between EFB and FMS is that in XP both FMS and EFB is written in the same programme. In MSFS its two different coders, and there are limitations in sending HTML requests to the WASM API... we will do what we can though, and trust me it would be great to get that automation back in!
  23. Hey guys, As we make more fantastic products for you all, we want to ask you for your feedback on our EFB's... What do you like? What do you not like? What features would you like to see within them.. Many thanks iniBuilds Aircraft team โค๏ธ
