Yeah it's honestly quite clear that the FS2020 version is so broken it might just be a straight file copy paste from FS2024 to 2020. It does also look like ini is just completely ignoring the 2020 version based on my own experience with pretty much nothing changing with these "updates" and nothing being posted on the forums.

Is it just on my end that stuff is broken or are all the sounds EXACTLY the same as release? I've tried a clean install of the plane and WASM folder clears and pretty much all I could think of other than a full game reinstall but nothing with the sounds has changed even though in the patch notes it's constantly said that there's been work on the audio.

The engine startup sounds are still all over the place. From being so loud on the outside that it actually hurts my ears to being nearly completely silent in the cockpit at the beginning before getting some decent volume level good engine startup sounds to being barely audible again after the engine has started. When applying Flex or TOGA power the engine sounds start fine but then there is a small area of thrust where the engine sounds gets super loud in the cockpit before going back to normal levels again. I can deal with the cockpit sounds because they're not loud just strange going up and down in volume but the external sound makes this something I still don't want to fly around in because if I accidentally go to the external cams during startup I'm just going damage my hearing I feel like with how loud it is. It's only during startup too otherwise it's okay. Also still no ground rolling sounds at all. I had to compress the example videos quite a lot to make the upload limit but should still hear the sounds just fine. startupexample(1).mp4 thrustexample(1).mp4

I decided to disable it immediately when I got GSX just to save whatever performance I can. Didn't even test if it runs fine without it being disabled.

Yes I know but I'm waiting to hear if the settings I'm using are causing GSX to not work with my A350.

Any updates regarding this? Are my settings fine? Not trying to rush sorry I assume it is quite busy still with the A350 being so new still.

Here is my GSX simulation tab settings. It's mostly default from what I can remember. I'm somewhat new to GSX only have been using it for a couple months now so I'm not 100% of what are all the settings I should be using.

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.
