Updated GSX and now it won't even load more than 1 passenger apparently. I synced Simbrief everywhere you could so so in the aircraft. This is the Ground menu and Loadsheet after ~20 minutes of waiting. What setting from GSX should I send? Maybe I've got a little confused but atleast the console to verify a WASM crash was a little different in FS2020 compared to the FS2024 guides to do so but I could be wrong. The current ones do still get the job done but maybe for some it would be easier if FS2020 had it's own pictures as well.

Yes I know GSX loads progressively but even after after boarding and refueling has been completed the loadsheet says 0 passengers and 0% ZFWCG. The fuel loads fine and the aircraft shows the correct fuel. Every time I want to try and do a flight I just have to set ZFW directly from the loadsheet without GSX to get the aircraft loaded. Just as a little side noted. It is a little difficult to follow the official instructions to troubleshoot the A350 when all the guides and stuff are for MSFS2024 even for the 2020 version because the 2 simulators are a little different in some places.

When loading the aircraft through GSX the passenger number still shows 0/324 and the ZFWCG also shows 0%. Is this something that is being worked on or should GSX only be used for pushback then? Also to add with this edit that when pushing back the aircraft just froze. Can press buttons and switched but nothing does anything so even after 2 updates it is still 100% ununsable and not worth nearly 100€.

"Fixed - Tweaked engine pitch at lower N1" Did not notice a difference during startup and when putting throttle in "Fixed - Idle engine level tweaks" Still can't really hear the engines in the cockpit at all unless that is how the plane is in real life The engines on startup are still INCREDIBLY loud from the external view to the point that I can't even go to any external cams during startup without my ears hurting. There is still absolutely no ground sounds when taxing or rolling down a runway. The engine sound gets VERY loud between 60-90% N1 when taking off and then the engine are back to somewhat normal levels. Some sounds (engines mainly after taking off) are still coming from the very middle of the cockpit making it very uncomfortable to listen to when so much of the audio is only in the left or right ear depending where you are sitting. The volume control in the OIS still doesn't seem to do anything. A few days ago I downloaded MSFS2024 through game pass to test out if the plane is better in that game and all the volumes were fine with no fine tuning needed in audio settings. I don't want to talk bad about iniBuilds but how come the A350 works almost flawlessly in 2024 but in 2020 it's near unusable at points with a bunch of issues. It feels like they did the reverse of what people are doing to their addons. People are just copy pasting the files of their 2020 addons to 2024 and hope they will work which most of the time they do but for some reason I feel like iniBuilds tried the opposite. Copy pasting the SU1 2024 version of the A350 to 2020 hoping it will work which it very often doesn't. Again, I don't want to make it sound like I hate iniBuilds, I don't and the A350 is great when it works but the differences in product quality between the two sims is just strange.

I don't know why iniBuilds haven't included per livery config in 2020. Fenix and PMDG do it perfectly.

Ah okay thanks. Sorry if this post seemed aggressive I didn't mean to make it sound like that I was just wondering. Good to know that fixes are on the way.

Do we really not have any word from iniBuilds about this disastrous release? Not an acknowledgement post and a word that they're working on fixing it because right now it really just seems like they took our money and left.

So yes I have done only one 2 and a half hour flight in the A350 so far and explored a bunch on the ground but immediately from that I could tell this is extremely strange and completely unacceptable for nearly 100€ First I will point out that this is a 1.0 release. Not a beta or anything but a full release and yet it feels like it should be a early access beta version. Let's start with the sounds. Where are they? Every sound in the plane is barely audible outside from some very random sounds sometimes that are extremely loud. In all the preview streams and content creator videos the plane sounds superb with everything sounding like I would expect a plane to sound like. Not the case for the release version we regular players got apparently. Secondly the systems. Navigraph charts not working, Simbrief barely functions and 70% of the time I just can't use it for loading the plane. GSX might as well not be integrated with how poor it is from not all passengers boarding to the plane not even recognizing that the payload has been changed. The only thing I have gotten to work properly is pushback and deboarding and unloading and that is only by using the GSX menu itself and not the OIS integration. I also had a problem a couple times in my flight where I was just normally cruising with everything in managed mode when I notice that the plane is not following the flight plan route anymore even though it is on NAV mode. Happened once in cruise and once before a turn in for the final. Third is the performance. iniBuilds were constantly saying in their streams, promotional material and store page saying how everything is optimized for performance only for me to load the plane up and have the worst FPS out of all the quite frame rate heavy aircraft I fly. (Fenix airbus, PMDG 737s and 777 and even the iniBuilds A300 runs better) Why come the content creators "preview beta" build seems to work flawlessly with every single aspect of the plane including Navigraph, Simbrief and GSX? WHy is the "1.0" build so broken and near unusable sometimes? At this point why not just give us this preview beta so we can enjoy the plane with it's full functionality? These are just some of the issues I've encountered but I have seen many other people on these forums in both FS2020 and 2024 struggling with many more issues. Now I'm not saying it's all bad. It looks fantastic and when (or if) the sounds are the right volume it sounds amazing too but that is just not enough at this point to continue flying it until some updates get done.

A slight edit The plane is extremely quiet 90% of the time until some random audio cuts in and blows out my ears. After my first flight I noticed these sounds mainly are: A very small range at the beginning of engine spooling up or during starting up. Aural callouts. Some warning sounds. Outside of these sounds the plane barely has any sounds for me. No ground sounds, barely any audible engine sound outside of full throttle. No gear retraction or extension sounds, just generally a completely silent aircraft other than those few sounds listed above.

Oh okay great to know one is on it's way, thank.

I was very surprised to see that iniBuilds didn't include a Finnair livery for the A350-900 since Finnair was the first operator of the aircraft in Europe.

I'm running a RTX 4060 Ti and 32Gb of DDR5 ram and this is the first plane in a while that is pushing those two to their limit.

Yeah from my experience so far as well it's not great on FPS at all.

Just started my first flight in the A350 and the sounds are very strange. The engine startup has no sounds until the engine spools up properly and then it's super loud for a few seconds and then becomes very quiet again. Same happens when throttling up on takeoff. Initial engine spool up is very loud and then goes quiet again, can barely hear that amazing "rumbling" from the engines. Same applies to the outside in the same situations. I have tried messing around with the EFB sound settings but they barely make a difference.

Yup exactly the same problem even after triple checking Simbrief, Navigraph and the aircraft settings.
