Major A350 Problens in 2024

[cloudswimmer]

MSFS 2024 A350 Latest update as of 3/8/25:

Plane will not load on ramp over 50 percent of the time (perpetual spinning wheel)

When plane does spawn on ramp .. if I choose panel state 'ready for takeoff' engines aren't running and I can't manually start them

When on ramp with panel state 'cold and dark' I can not get engines to start anymore

When at the gate pushback doesnt work

When on a ramp in the rare case the engine IS running .. releasing parking brake doesn't work and I cant move the plane (yes I'm using realistic brake pedal method)

Only way to get this plane in the air is spawn the plane on a runway .. but half the time it wont load in that situation either.

I'm using the SU1 beta on a i13900k/4090 machine .. and have emptied the A350 WASM folder, as well as have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the A350

I suggest you either study the manual, or go find one of the many videos on the boobtube and watch that, this is a VERY complex plane, if you wanted to jump into something on the runway, push the trottle and go you picked the wrong thing to fly. 

BTW, Beta is over, you should have the production version now, but I don't know that's your problem, I never had problems with Beta either.  Maybe update the sim, and then uninstall/reinstall the plane from the Inibuild Manager. 

Good luck!

Never mind You Tube Vids. Complex or not it shouldn't take 25 minutes to load Inibuilds EGLL and A350 which it is currently. I have a similar system i913900K, RTX4090, 64GB DDR5. Trying again now as we speak and it has just passed 23 minutes and still the magic circle........

Managed to get it to spawn in last night by first selecting just the active runway. Then tried again for a cold and dark at terminal 5 gate heavy and after 25 mins it worked.

But this morning NADA......28 mins now..........

A user reported this worked for them,

really weird fix but worked for me, before loading in zoom all the way out like click the airport u want and zoom all the way out on the map

 

But also see post above. Kindest.

My Goodness! It actually works!!! Why? I could not say but sure enough after picking a gate to spawn in at and then zooming out as far as you can go (at least until you see the UK in map form) then it loads in under 2 minutes!! Go Figure but Yahoo I'm in!!

Many thanks!!

Hey jaybird, nothing against you personally here. The only reason I'm hitting the ready to fly panel state is because the engines wont start doing it by hand anymore. The plane worked at first, but after their update the other day now it doesn't, well it does (sometimes) but there is no thrust, I agree to fully benefit from an addon like this its best to read the FCOM first .. but then why even put a ready to fly panel state as an OIS option if it doesn't work? Look .. I've been in this hobby now for decades, have built both A320 and 737NG home cockpits using Flight Deck Solutions panels, harware, and electronics .. going all the way back to Project Magenta days, and I've also worked on commercial flight simulators as a vocation as well as for a government sub contractor for US Navy flight simulators, I know a few things about reading FCOM's before operating a new airframe .. and I did it with the A350 too .. and its not THAT different from the A330/340/380 .. I know how to properly start the airplane  .. and again I have started it before in 2024 .. and can still start it in 2020, but simply this plane .. at least the 2024 version .. as well as 2024 itself are still infested with bugs and should never have been released to the public in their current state ..they are beta at best and I'd argue alpha .. yet they are raking in tons of money .. knowing this .. close to criminal in a lot of peoples minds. Both Ini and Microsoft need to offer refunds at this point to save face .. and instead offer people to join in as beta testers. Friggin upside down world we live in in so many ways. And yeah I signed out of the SU1 beta, uninstalled it, and DL'd the official SU1 .. doesn't matter .. SU1 official is still buggy as hell .. the buggiest piece of flight simulation software I have EVER used since starting with Sublogic Flight Simulator decades ago on my Apple IIe. I'm sure Ini is wrestling with Asobo on this at this point. The A350 btw loads into 2020 in the same time as the Fenix and PMDG stuff for me .. but the A350 2020 version performance for me even on my i13900k/4090 finely tuned machine is just not enjoyable, in 2024 the A350 is smooth.
