I’m sorry, but I also have to express my strong disappointment regarding the release of the Airbus A350.
This was a product that generated incredible hype, yet it has clearly proven to be not ready for public release. I would describe it as something still near the end of the alpha phase.. it needed at least another six months of testing.
There are some extremely serious bugs that give the impression of a rushed release. It’s inconceivable to think they didn’t know that Navigraph charts weren’t working, that the autopilot disconnect alarm couldn’t be silenced, or even that the deafening landing gear sound played when retracting the gear for landing, just to name a few.
I’m not even talking about bugs related to alternate law functionalities, but rather about extremely basic issues.
The sounds are truly bad and unbalanced. Out of three flights, two resulted in the simulator freezing.
The general feeling, which I believe most people now share, is that iniBuilds missed their chance to enter the Olympus of Flight Simulator developers by releasing an obviously incomplete product.
If I were them, I’d issue a public apology and pull the A350 from sale until it reaches the level of quality it deserves. The potential is clearly there, but the product is still far from mature.
For now, I’ll be putting it in the hangar until I see significant improvements through future patches.
I’m really sorry, but I’m also extremely frustrated because it’s not fair that we are the ones acting as the real beta testers after paying nearly 90 euros for this product.
