iniBuilds A350 Airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 & 2020 v1.0.5 Released

[mattY]

A350 Airliner V1.0.5 Update 🚀

This week’s update brings further bug fixes as well as three significant key areas being the focal point of this week. 

We are working very hard in preparing an Xbox build as soon as possible. We are currently going through testing and optimization so you can have the best experience possible. 

This update can be downloaded via the iniManager.

A350 GSX Integration
A recent GSX update will cause issues with some behaviour. Please await an update GSX side for the changes in this build to take effect.

The A350 now includes further GSX integration, delivering streamlined, realistic ground operations experience for both departure and arrival workflows.

• Automatic GPU Connect on Aircraft Spawn
  The external GPU will auto-connect when the aircraft is loaded, requiring no manual input. Built-in logic suppresses default GPU behavior to prevent duplication.
• GSX Payload and Fuel Synchronization
  Loading passengers and fuel via GSX will update the aircraft’s internal systems in real time, including weight and balance in the EFB and MCDU. This ensures consistency between GSX timings and aircraft configuration.
• Single GPU Logic
  Prevents the occurrence of double GPU connections by enforcing mutual exclusivity between GSX and aircraft-side systems.
• Auto Jetbridge Connection
  Upon spawning at a gate with a jetway, the airbridge will automatically connect to the forward door, eliminating the need to manually request it.

• Auto-Deboarding Trigger
  Deboarding will initiate automatically after engine shutdown and parking brake application, streamlining turnaround workflows.

These updates bring tighter integration between GSX and the A350 systems, enabling a hands-off, procedurally correct experience from gate to gate. More updates and integrations are coming soon.

A350 Equal Time Point (ETP) Functionality
The iniBuilds A350 now features support for Equal Time Point (ETP) calculations, significantly improving accuracy in long-haul enroute monitoring.

Dynamic ETP Calculation
The aircraft now dynamically calculates the ETP between two reference points, aiding ETOPS planning and diversion strategies.

This enhancement adds the much-requested support for oceanic and remote area operations, bringing the A350 simulation even closer to real-world dispatch procedures and inflight decision-making.

Time Marker Aural Alerts [FS24 only for now]

The A350 now features Time Marker Aural Alerts, designed to assist with procedural timing during various phases of flight.

Flight Crew Aural Feedback
Alerts are issued in a standard callout voice, non-disruptive to ATC or cockpit communications, and consistent with Airbus timing procedures.

This enhancement supports procedural discipline and situational awareness, especially in high workload environments or during single-pilot ops in simulation contexts.
