iniBuilds A350 Airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 & 2020 v1.0.8 Released

[mattY]

A350 Airliner V1.0.8 Update 🚀

This update brings a wide array of enhancements, fixes, and new features to the iniBuilds A350 Airliner. Key highlights include major improvements to the step climb logic for better long-haul performance, a comprehensive overhaul of ECAM systems and logic with realistic failure scenarios, and numerous fixes across art, sounds, and systems. As always, we've worked closely with real-world A350 experts to bring even more depth and authenticity to your experience.

This update can be downloaded via the iniManager.

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

Step climbs
We have expanded the step climb function as it was previously limited. Pilots can now enter an increased number of steps manually or via SimBrief import. Combined with the auto step climb feature fully optimum long-haul routes can be enjoyed with maximum virtual efficiency. 

Enhanced ECAM logic and additions
The ELEC and FCTL ECAMs have had a huge overhaul with the assistance of one of our qualified A350 engineers. The failure states have been reviewed in detail and associated system failures and redundancies have been added where possible in the simulation. 
All failures can be triggered via the OIS which has also undergone a refresh in this regard with failure triggers being organised by ATA chapter.
