I have the same issue, but in MSFS 2020. I've not yet been able to complete a flight. On every attempt at some point most cockpit knobs and levers become unresponsive. Though the plane continues to fly, there is no way to get flaps out, drop the gear, change altitude or decent modes, etc. Interaction with the cockpit just freezes. On the bright side performance in MSFS 2020 seems reasonable, and I'm getting a lot of practice with the cockpit preparation, before start, and after start flows. It would be nice to get the same amount of practice on the decent, approach, landing, and shutdown flows, but no such luck. I will say this is very similar to a problem PMDG had with the 777 which turned out to be a WASM issue.
In all this has been a very disappointing experience. On top of the issues with the MSFS 2020 version It took two full days and dozens of attempts to actually get the addon installed in MS2024. And, after struggling to get the plane installed and loaded in the sim for a flight, I find that the performance in 2024 is very poor. I routinely get 25-30fps lower with the iniBuilds a350 than with any of the Fenix variants.
At the price of this add-on, I expected much better. Fool me once...
