  1. Hello, Please follow this guide and it should resolve your issue:

    OIS not Avail

    "OIS Not Available" means its booting up. Takes 8 minutes as per real life. Once it has, you can select whether youd like instant/fast/realistic.
  3. If we add a cabin to the Xbox variants, you will not have an enjoyable time flying the aircraft. Performance is more important, even if you don't think that right now. We cannot find a viable way to make an aircraft that is the size of the 350 include a cabin model for Xbox. As for Xbox release time, we have submitted the aircraft to MS/Asobo. It is entirely in their hands now. We have no control or say on when it'll hit the marketplace. I am not sure where this "not so great customer service" came from. Thank you
  4. Paintkits are setup in a different way to what our inhouse creators use. I've heard word its close. We apologize for not having it ready in time, but very soon!
  5. Respectfully, whether you agree or not will not resolve the issue. We have indentified a core sim-issue that is affecting this. We will update you all once we know more.
  6. We tried to get it ready for release, it wasn't. It is being finalized. Really is not the end of the world. The lovely painters will get to work very soon.
  7. Again, like I have said above. This is NOT an issue we can resolve. We are waiting for a fix from Asobo.

    Installation on MSFS

    First load-in takes a long time, this is true for any WASM aircraft. Please allow up to 15 minutes even; again, this is only necessary the first ever load of the aircraft. We do not process refunds; purchases are final. Addons need to be installed into the Community folder. In the iniManager, navigate to your name in the top left, and under Microsoft Flight Simulator, click the "Scan Now" for MSFS 2020 Community folder.
  9. Hello, Please can you share the route you used. Thank you

    Installation on MSFS

    Hello, Have you tried restarting the simulator? If issue still persists, please try uninstalling the aircraft entirely in the iniManager and re-installing it.
  11. Our aircraft are best used with linear sensitivity settings for your axis, with deadzones as necessary for your hardware. To set this, go to your Settings > Control Options > Sensitivity Settings and set it up as shown below.
  12. Attached below is the Aircraft Manual for the iniBuilds A350 Airliner for your reference. iniBuilds A350 Airliner.pdf

  13. On the iniBuilds A350 Airliner you can set the visual weathering on the aircraft exterior via the On-board Information System (OIS) display. This adds affects of weathering around rivets and general dirt/grime over various components of the exterior that is persistent per variant. OIS Weathering Slider You can control the various levels of weathering on the OIS Aircraft settings page which can be reached via FLT OPS MENU > OPTIONS > AIRCRAFT. (Click to enlarge image) Fixed vs Dynamic Weathering The weathering behaviour differs depending on the simulator in use as follows MSFS 2024 - Dynamic: The initial weathering state is set by the OIS Weathering slider and continues to dynamically increase over time. It will be manually "reset" by adjusting the slider. MSFS 2020 - Fixed: The weathering state is set by the OIS Weathering slider and remains at that that setting until until manually "reset" by adjusting the slider.

  17. Hello, Sorry to hear your experiencing issues! Please try clearing your scenery indexes and try again. It obviously shouldn't look that way. To do that locate your folder by following the path below: MSFS 2020 MSFS 2024 Then delete the contents inside but leave the folder intact. The indexes will rebuild on next load of FS. This should solve the issue.
  18. Hello, Unfortunately we are not able to give a precise date as the process to get a product on the marketplace greatly differs from being able to upload it straight to our own store. We submit a product to MS/Asobo and it goes through a submission process. How long that takes is entirely up to them.
  19. Hello, Myself and a colleague have tried (both compatible and premium version) to reproduce this and to no avail. Have you tried a complete reinstall?
  20. SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Surveillance (SURV) system consists of the following system that perform surveillance functions: Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast - Traffic (ADS-B Traffic) Transponder (XPDR) Weather Radar (WXR) system Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) This FAQ will cover the WXR and TAWS features of the SURV system.

  23. SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Brake To Vacate (BTV) function optimizes the autobrake deceleration on landing in order to reach the selected runway exit point/ manually entered landing distance. The system takes into account the selected runway condition/braking action in its calculations. Once armed, the system works autonomously to delay braking in order to reduce brake wear, optimize the runway occupancy time (ROT) and improve passenger comfort. SETTING UP BTV In order for BTV to function, it needs information such as your stopping target stopping distance and runway condition. This information can be provided by 2 ways: via Exit Selection on the ANF (airport moving map on ND), OR via Manual Distance Entry Instructions on how to set up BTV using each method is shown below. 1. Exit Selection on the ANF [*Navigraph Only] Step 1: Choose Landing Runway on FMS Press the F-PLN shortcut key to go to the FMS F-PLN page At the bottom left corner, select your DEST airport and select the Landing RWY - you can also select your APPR and STAR on this page, however the BTV system only requires the runway at minimum to function Choose TMPY F-PLN and then INSERT TMPY to confirm the selection. (Click to enlarge image) Step 2: Set ANF to your DEST airport Whilst on the ANF display, the currently displayed airport map can be changed via the ARPT SEL function page as follows: Change to PLAN mode via the ND Mode Selector Knob Change the range to ZOOM via the ND Range Selector knob Move the KCCU cursor to the ND screen by - Clicking anywhere on the ND screen, OR - Clicking the ND key on the KCCU Click the double-arrow Additional Function Button at the bottom-right corner of the ND Select the (A) ARPT SEL tab Choose from the (B) FMS AIRPORTS list to display your Destination Click the (D) DISPLAY AIRPORT button to make it the active displayed airport. (Click to enlarge image) Step 3: Choose the Braking Action / Runway Condition Pull the RWY COND/BRAKING ACTION KNOB-SELECTOR to bring up the RWY CONDITION / BRAKING ACTION matrix on the SD (this knob is located just above the landing gear lever) Rotate the selector clockwise (or anti-clockwise) to choose between the various RWY CONDITION / BRAKING ACTION options After a few seconds, the selected option is validated automatically Push the knob selector to hide the RWY CONDITION / BRAKING ACTION matrix on the SD (Click to enlarge image) Step 4: Choose target Exit via ANF Click-and-drag to center the map on your desired exit Click the interactable taxiway icon on the runway (interactable elements have a blue border around them) Select SET BTV EXIT from the options list (You can also UNSET BTV EXIT from the same options list to remove your selection) Once a target Exit is chosen, A blue line will appear along the landing runway to the selected exit showing the chosen BTV target exit, AND On the top left corner of the ND, you will see the chosen RWY (and its LDA), BRAKING CONDITION and EXIT as well as the corresponding Runway Occupancy Time (ROT)(in seconds) and TURNAROUND time (in minutes) for MAX REV or REV IDLE usage respectively. (Click to enlarge image) 2. Manual Distance Entry Step 1: Choose Landing Runway on FMS Press the F-PLN shortcut key to go to the FMS F-PLN page At the bottom left corner, select your DEST airport and select the Landing RWY - you can also select your APPR and STAR on this page, however the BTV system only requires the runway at minimum to function Choose TMPY F-PLN and then INSERT TMPY to confirm the selection. (Click to enlarge image) Step 2: Open the LANDING function page Change to PLAN mode via the ND Mode Selector Knob Change the range to ZOOM via the ND Range Selector knob Move the KCCU cursor to the ND screen by - Clicking anywhere on the ND screen, OR - Clicking the ND key on the KCCU Click the double-arrow Additional Function Button at the bottom-right corner of the ND Select the (A) LANDING tab Enter the BTV Exit (B) DISTANCE from threshold for your target (This information can normally be obtained from the Airport Ground / Information Charts) Step 3: Choose the Braking Action / Runway Condition Choose the (C) LDG PERF CODE that is most suitable to the reported landing runway condition / braking action. You can bring up the RWY CONDITION / BRAKING ACTION matrix for reference by, Pull the RWY COND/BRAKING ACTION KNOB-SELECTOR to show the matrix on the SD (this knob is located just above the landing gear lever) Rotate the selector clockwise (or anti-clockwise) to choose between the various RWY CONDITION / BRAKING ACTION options Push the knob selector to hide the matrix on the SD (Click to enlarge image) BTV ARMING & ENGAGEMENT The BTV autobrake mode arms when the following conditions are met: A BTV exit is selected OR BTV distance is entered manually, AND A/BRK pushbutton is pressed Once successfully armed, The A/BRK pushbutton will be lit up green The PFD FMA will show BTV in blue (Click to enlarge image) The BTV autobrake mode engages on landing if any one of the conditions is met: immediately after ground spoilers extension if the NLG is on ground; OR 5s after ground spoilers extension if NLG is not on ground (Click to enlarge image) BTV DISARMING & DISENGAGEMENT The autobrake disarms if any one of the conditions is met: The A/BRK pushbutton is pressed again, OR The selected landing runway on the ANF is modified, OR The BTV exit is deselected, OR The FMS runway is changed to a runway that is different from the selected landing runway, OR A go-around is performed below 600 ft. The reversion occurs during the go-around, when the aircraft climbs above 600 ft. The computation is based on the minimum between the radio altitude, and the aircraft height above the runway threshold. The autobrake disengages if any one of the conditions is met: The aircraft ground speed reaches the BTV disconnection speed (approx. 10 kt), OR The flight crew uses the brake pedals, OR The flight crew presses the A/THR instinctive disconnect pushbutton, OR The ground spoilers retract or disarm. When autobrake disengages the the following happens: A single chime audio indicator sounds The MASTER CAUT lights comes on The AUTO BRK OFF memo appears on the PFD and WD.
  24. The A350 Airliner comes with a variety of quality of life features such as Pause at Top of Descent (TOD), Auto Step-Climbs and Time Compression to make long haul / away-from-keyboard (AFK) flying more accessible for simmers. SETUP - OIS SIMULATION SETTINGS All of these features can be set up via the On-board Information System (OIS) simulation options page, which is accessed from FLT OPS MENU > OPTIONS > SIMULATION. (Click to enlarge image) AFK MODE The AFK Mode is a conservative setting to be used with Time Compression when you are leaving your simulator unattended. Setting this to: YES: Pauses your simulator in case of autopilot disconnection during active Time Compression. NO: Will not pause your sim in case of autopilot disconnection during active Time Compression. PAUSE AT TOD The Pause at Top of Descent (TOD) pauses your simulator at a set distance before the FMS computed TOD point. To enable the feature, PAUSE AT T.O.D: Select YES to arm this function PAUSE TOD DIST (nm): Enter the desired value for where you want the pause to engage (Default 30 nm, Max 100 nm) To unpause the simulator, Click the RESUME FLIGHT button on the OIS notification (Click to enlarge image) AUTO STEP CLIMB The Auto Step Climb feature automatically climbs your aircraft at the pre-defined steps that you have setup on the MFD FMS. The Auto Import Step Climb feature automatically uplinks the planned steps from your Simbrief OFP for validation against FMS calculations. The step alts which are deemed valid are then input automatically on the F-PLN / VERT REV / STEP ALTS page. (Click to enlarge image) TIME COMPRESSION The Time Compression feature allows you to shorten your flight time by increasing the simulation rate by upto 4x. This is useful for completing longer flights in a shorter time. The TIME COMPRESSION option when set to, AUTO: Automatically manages the simulation rate (up to the MAX COMPRESSION rate set) OFF: Resets the simulation rate to 1x. The MAX COMPRESSION option when set to, UP TO 2X: Limits the simulation rate to a maximum of 2x. UP TO 4X: Limits the simulation rate to a maximum of 4x. The active simulation rate is shown via a green notification at the top of the OIS.
  25. DIR TO FUNCTION - OVERVIEW On the A350, the Direct To (DIR TO) waypoint function can be accessed via Multi-Function Display (MFD) FMS DIR TO page, OR Navigation Display (ND) DIR TO page You may create a direct flight leg from the aircraft's present position (P.POS) to Any FMS Flight Plan waypoint, or Any FMS Navigation database waypoint, airport or navaid, or Any FMS Pilot stored Latitude/Longitude (LL), Place/Bearing/Distance (PBD), Place-Bearing/Place-Bearing (PB) waypoint There are four options for creating the direct flight leg DIR TO (DIRECT), or DIR TO with abeam waypoints (DIRECT WITH ABEAM), or DIR TO with inbound course (CRS IN), or DIR TO with outbound course (CRS OUT), or DIR TO VIA ND A.
