Oh that ACJ cabin is looking nice!

[Peak Explorer]

looks lovely!

[gill_meister]

Can't wait for the A310 release. Planning to purchase on the day it releases.

[Tang0]

What should I say... Maybe something like Never doubt iniBuilds or something like this. Stunning ACJ cabin and I really look forward flying it!

[737Cowboy]

Will there be a simultaneous update for the A300-600 as well?

the 10 looks great 👍 

[jettojig]

The A300 update will come next, once the A310 is released. No further timeline info as yet, but it won't be simultaneous.

I feel like you are focusing way more on the model (cabin) than on the systems and system logic

I really doubt that based on my experience with the A300 and the ST. the systems are pretty damn good.  Also based on what they did in the past, I'm willing to bet we will see plenty on the systems, and probably a few video's focusing on them. Take a look at the ones for the 300 and the ST, They will give you a really good idea on the level of work they do put into the systems.

 

Looks like I'm gonna have to email @Sam again, for another special livery! Keep up the good work!

This is a true beauty! The good part of it is that it is possible to fly over the pond. And I'm eager to see the system differences compared to the A300-600. ✈️🤠

"Pretty damn" good is PMDG or FSLabs. Ini is still O.K. . There's a lot of room for improvement on the systems, taking into account the A300  and the ST. I agree with

They also charge pretty damn good! One of them just released a goodies upgrade for a price some xplane devs sell whole planes for. Different story of course, but just because you mentioned it.. 

That being said, very happy to see new features coming to the current ini fleet for free 🙂

I would be curious also to know, when will the weather radar will be wholly implemented? At least I haven't got it to work and I use HiFi's Active Sky XP.

[sargo]

Great news!
Please make a manual (pdf) for the aircraft (in addition to video or instead of video). The manual is more convenient to learn, not all users are English-speaking. And it's easier to navigate in it, looking for the necessary information, than to rewind a video.

[gill_meister]

Would like to request a Malaysia Airlines livery to be made for the A310 if possible.

[sargo]

If you can order liveries, please, S7 Airlines in two colors:

[iniBuilds]

Those liveries are sure to come.

Lots of systems work to showcase... just because of no news, does not mean nothing is going on! 

[tracemark]

Your A300 is really incredible! I can no longer wait to try the brand new A310. Hope it will be released soon!!!

[N752SK]

I'd be lying if I said I didn't check every single day to see if its available =)

[Chris767]

I see the homepage features the 10, soooooon! 👀

[Romeo]

Would love to see some liveries for Air Transat! Can't wait to fly the A310, definitely a day one buy!
