Fab10

Well, it seems that you closed my earlier thread prematurely with a question, so I felt that I might restart the topic. You were done but I wasn’t and interestingly, others were adding to the mix too. It’s not unreasonable to want a response or an answer, even at Christmas time. Not everything stops on the 24th, most especially simmers. Customers are prone to shopping around that time of year, a practice that yields benefits for all. Anyway, with that in mind, I didn’t make a purchase because, as you say, you were late to the party. And typically, when one wants something, one wants it straight away, a human tendency I feel. The other question is why the subject was broached in the first place, and by way of explanation let me add that IB has other products present in the default makeup of MSFS24, so my question remains, are these IB Airbus’ with WX & Terrain Radar?

You must download terrain data via the OIS. WXR seems to work in MSFS20.

Well, that about sums up the underwhelming INI Builds experience.

I find it hard to believe that INI Builds are unable to comment on this. I’m certain they’d prefer customers not to speculate with assumptions, so why the reluctance?

Before I commit to MSFS 2024, I'm trying to ascertain whether or not the weather and terrain radars work in all INI Builds aircraft, specifically the MSFS 2024 default Airbus types as well as payware such as the A300 (compatible & premium), A340 and A350. There's a great deal of old information out there from the early days of MSFS 2024 as well as more recent postings on subject, plus some redirects from IB towards the MSFS forums, but I seem unable to to find a definitive answer to this question as even the IB marketing blurb doesn't give much away. I'm not looking for a debate on the usefulness of these in-sim, rathermore a Y/N regarding implementation. Can anyone please shed some light on the present implementation of weather and terrain radars in MSFS 2024 for the INI Builds fleet? Thanks in advance.

INI Builds, please can you respond to these posts? V1.1.9 is practically unusable unless using INI Builds liveries (those that I have tried). What must livery painters do to make 3rd party liveries compatible with updates? Thanks.

Good to know, thank you.

Exactly, that’s what I’m asking. The FlightFactor A350 didn’t have BTV when I used it a few years ago but it certainly had “lo, med, & max” as you’d expect for Airbus types.

Assign a key to Toggle Cabin Lighting and the lights will work. The worrying news is that INI Builds support asked me whether this was a solution, to which I replied that it wasn't, rathermore a workaround which might help them find the cause of this problem. Not great for a £70 product.

Perfect, it worked for me as well. Thank-you so much!

Oh! That’s a good idea, I’ll give it a go, thank you so much!

Is there anything I can do to restore my flood lights (panel & overhead) and dysfunctional dome light? it’s not good enough that a (new for me) £70+ product has lighting issues, so please can someone at INI Builds assist me? Thanks.

You know, I returned to the MSFS Forum after a long absence, and all I got for my trouble was immediate heart-sink. I recognised many older posts asking for the IB A320N V2 lighting fix (from 9/24) and missing paint-kits (from 11/24). Honestly, there is little point in adding yet another plea. Our only recourse is to call for an ombudsman to work and litigate for the needs of end-users. This is why end-users need developers to add palpable pressure where it’s needed because their voice carries the sort of weight end-users simply do not have. Think about it from our perspective; the bulbs failed in the IB A320N V2 in Sept. 2024, and despite posts galore imploring both developers and Microsoft alike, nothing has changed. In the interim, sim updates and monthly navdata are rolled out, so it’s clear that they have no intention of implementing a simple fix for the outgoing platform. And why is that? Well, the new platform is getting all the attention and the aim would be to migrate users because one is cheaper than two. From my standpoint, I refuse to move into MSFS24 because, of all things, the lack of paint kits for default aircraft. This ludicrously needless situation is 100% the reason I’m holding out, stubborn as I am. I’ve been livery self-sufficient way before many developers and associated team members were even born (possibly, though hopefully you get my point). And so we come full circle whereby so very many have posted pleas for paint-kits without Microsoft even batting an eye. End users are impotent in this regard and it can be no surprise that we become demoralised and despondent as a consequence, all the more so as we become older and wearier. I apologise if I previously caused you any distress, I just wanted to clarify its origin.

Agreed; edited.

It's disappointing that this issue has been reported by many, and that it is similar to the problematic IB A320N V2 lighting. I purchased this aircraft as it was a seminal release for MSFS20 & MSFS24, as a nod to support the developers. Still, I cannot shake the feeling that MSFS24 is receiving more support than MSFS20.
