IMPORTANT INFO - MSFS2024 SU1 BETA ⚠️

This update incorporates key fixes and features that are essential, especially for those intending to use Navigraph.
While for non-Navigraph users, it is still highly recommended for an overall better experience and reduced crash instances.

Check out some of the main features that make the A350 an extraordinary addition to your hangar:

🧑‍✈️ Realistic Flight Systems
The iniBuilds A350 brings to life over 200 ECAMs, allowing you to replicate the entire standard procedure flow of the real aircraft. Whether you're dealing with warnings, some abnormal checklists, or emergency scenarios, you'll have the tools at your disposal to handle it all—just like a real-world pilot. From status pages to memos and limitations, no detail has been overlooked! ✅

🖥️ Fully Interactive MCDU
The Multifunction Control and Display Unit (MCDU) has been carefully modeled to include advanced features like multiple secondary flight plans and pilot-defined waypoints. The VSD provides great awareness, allowing for more efficient climbs & descents within complex airspaces. The level of detail in the MCDU ensures you're always in control of your flight plan, making every approach feel just as demanding as in the real world! ✈️

🛬 Brake to Vacate (BTV)
Another highlight feature is Brake to Vacate, the A350 allows you to optimize your braking upon landing, minimizing runway occupancy time. The iniBuilds A350 Airliner allows for two selections on BTV, the first of which being via Exit Selection on the ANF - this is the standard method of BTV whereby you'd select the desired runway exit to target via the ND (This method is only usable with a Navigraph Unlimited Subscription). The next option is to arm BTV via manual distance entry - with this you can use BTV without the requirement of a Navigraph subscription. 🛞

Paired with the Airport Navigation Function (ANF), which helps guide you during complex ground operations, this feature ensures smooth and precise control on the tarmac. Whether you're navigating busy hubs or smaller airports, you'll be able to plan your vacating routes like a pro. 🚗

🌐 CPDLC Integration via Hoppie
The A350 is also equipped with full Controller–Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) via Hoppie. Request ATIS/METAR updates, communicate with ATC, and manage your flight directly from the cockpit. This functionality not only increases immersion but also ensures you stay connected to the latest weather and ATC data for smooth, safe flights! 🌤️

🛫 True-to-Life Modelling

💺Cockpit Immersion
Experience the most detailed A350 cockpit ever created. Almost every switch, button, and panel is faithfully recreated, with dynamic materials, dimmable lights, and interactive elements like animated seats and oxygen masks. Fully animated doors, hatches, and sun blinds bring you closer to reality. Both A350-900 and -1000 variants come with a host of other custom, tailored details for some of the the best immersion in flight sim!

✈️Exterior & Cabin Detailing
Experience some of the best exterior and in-cabin detailing that has ever been seen in a flight simulator. With precision placed, detailed rivets, smooth animations, dynamic wing flex reacting to flight conditions and so much more, the A350 Airliner won't disappoint. The landing gear is fully animated, complete with modeled tyre physics. With the ability to customize your aircraft with long or short winglets, fuel jettisons, LED or HID lighting variants, the possibilities are endless.

Inside, the cabin features realistic lighting, from ambient to emergency, and functional seatbelt, no-smoking, and electronics displays. With a cabin based upon the Air France A350 layout, you'll see a 3 class config, including lavatories, galleys and every other detail that ensure true-to-life immersion, even in the cabin!😉

We've even given you the option to completely disable the cabin if you want the extra performance, simply select the [No Cabin] option in the Variant menu of FS2024 and that's it! ✅

Please note: The full, detailed cabin is only available in FS2024 via iniManager & MSFS2024 In-Game Marketplace purchases.

Plan your flights in advance, download directly in-sim, and update your AIRAC cycles effortlessly. Whether you're simulating a busy day of commercial flying or tackling long-haul routes, these integrations ensure everything is realistic and streamlined.

🏔️ Custom Terrain Radar
Enhance your situational awareness with the A350's Custom Terrain Radar. This system accurately maps the terrain around your flight path, helping you navigate safely through challenging environments. Whether you're flying over the mountains or descending into a tricky approach, the terrain radar will provide you with the data you need to make informed decisions.

🔥 GPS Jamming Simulation
A unique and immersive feature, GPS Jamming Simulation introduces an element of unpredictability to your flights. When jamming occurs, it can affect systems like BTV, TCAS, GPWS, and GPS, with some recovering and others failing permanently! This feature adds a whole new layer of realism, making long-haul flights in contested or unpredictable airspaces a real challenge.

🎨 Immersive Visuals & Effects
Immerse yourself in the custom A350 Immersion pack with custom effects, including engine cowl oil vent smoke, N1 fan condensation, and N1 fan vortex spouts.
