Administrators mattY Posted May 29 Administrators Posted May 29 A350 Airliner V1.0.11 Update 🚀 This week’s update marks a significant step forward in realism, functionality, and overall immersion. We've carried out extensive overhauls and refinements across core systems whilst adding new features, bringing the simulation experience even closer than ever. We will cover these below but before we do, just to let folks know that we are close to wrapping up our Xbox testing and expect the Xbox version of the iniBuilds A350 to launch soon! This update can be downloaded via the iniManager. New Fly-by-wire features This week’s build adds the Auto De-Rotation system. The Auto De-Rotation system on the iniBuilds A350 is part of its advanced fly-by-wire logic designed to assist pilots during the landing phase—specifically after the main landing gear has touched down. This is an important system as it prevents hard nosewheel touchdowns by avoiding abrupt or excessive pitch changes by the pilot and improves landing consistency across different conditions and pilot techniques So how does it work in the simulator? The de-rotation law uses elevator input to lower the aircraft’s pitch at a controlled rate, helping to prevent a hard touchdown of the nose wheel. As soon as the main landing gear touches down, the fly-by-wire system takes over pitch management and commands a predefined pitch rate of 2 to 3 degrees per second. This ensures a smooth and consistent nose gear landing. Importantly, the pilot still retains authority and can override the law with manual input if needed. Enhanced GPS Jamming On the launch of the iniBuilds A350 we had a rudimentary system in place for GPS Jamming, which has now been overhauled. When an aircraft enters a region with GPS jamming, the satellite signals become degraded, blocked, or completely unavailable. This can impact: Navigation accuracy degradation – you must check your EPU on the POS report page to ensure you ability to conduct an RNAV approach. ADS-B reporting – you may experience TCAS anomalies. Position data for FMS (Flight Management System) – you may experience GNSS failures Modern aircraft like the 350 depend heavily on GPS for efficient and precise routing. While they have inertial reference systems (IRS) and backup navigation sources (like DME/DME or VOR), the loss of GPS can still limit functionality, trigger alerts, or force a switch to alternate navigation modes. On launch this was random and not geo-specific – where GPS jamming actually occurs in the world. Now this system is much more immersive and we have integrated live data for a much more realistic experience whereby you will experience GPS jamming based on where there is jamming in the real world. The regions are calculated using a system called H3 geo to convert latitude and longitude into hex cells on a map that correlate to aircraft reporting of GPS data in those areas over a 24hr period and dynamically updated so the jammed areas are always changing based on real world data. The system looks up data based on aircraft latitude and longitude every 5 minutes. The API responds with good, partial and bad aircraft reports. If all good, no jamming is active. If partial, a percentage of bad and good reports is used as a "chance" to be jammed for the checked period. In this instance you may experience jamming coming and going through areas where it’s reported. If all bad, the area is being fully jammed, and you will encounter GPS interference and related system failures. Cockpit Printer The printer is used for creating hard copy T.O data, F-PLN, METAR, Mailbox etc… This data is available in the OIS and FMS already but can be printed to cross check and reference. We use a combination of 3D model animations, and show/hide attachments to simulate the print process and placing the paper on the chart clip in the cockpit. The received data is sent to a template based on the item being printed and printed to the texture. The paper size is also dynamic depending on the data printed. For example, printing a METAR will not use as much paper as printing the F-PLN. In 2024, under certain lighting conditions, when at the gate, you may experience a temporary unexpected effect where the printed info is obscured. This is due to a core shader property that overrides the printed layer. This is known and should be resolved in a coming sim update. Planned Route API (MSFS2024 Only) It is now possible to send and receive the MSFS2024 integrated flight plan from the sim FMS and vice versa. The flight planning tool built into the core sim utilises official Lido navigation databases and real world submitted flight plans to provide accurate routes. This feature can now be used to populate your iniBuilds 350 FMS. The feature will also be used for feature updates that will introduce the MSFS2024 career mode. Condensation Effect A new effect to simulate condensation has been added. The aircraft is generating the effect on the cockpit windows using the difference between outside air temperature and simulated cabin temperature and builds or dissipates over time. It also takes into account the windshield heat status of the glass element to remove the condensation just like the real aircraft. You will see this in action, when you are sat cold and dark, in a low OAT region and will see the condensation build before engine start. Due to limitations in the FS2020 engine, this effect is exclusive to FS2024 New ECAMs As with each update, we have also added in a wide range of ECAM’s, the following ECAMs have been updated or added: [ABN] L/G LDG WITH ABNORM MAIN L/G, [ABN] L/G LDG WITH ABNORM NOSE L/G, L/G GEAR NOT LOCKED DOWN, L/G GEAR NOT LOCKED UP, L/G CTL 1+2 FAULT, L/G DOORS NOT CLOSED Due to a bug in FS24 the following are disabled via EFB trigger (we are working with Asobo on this bug and once resolved these will be in action): "NORMAL L MLDG FAULT" "ALTERNATE L MLDG FAULT" "NORMAL R MLDG FAULT" "ALTERNATE R MLDG FAULT" "NORMAL NOSE GEAR FAULT" "ALTERNATE NOSE GEAR FAULT" ____________________________________________________________ v1.0.11 Systems⚙️FIXED: MFD approach: selecting via NONE displays [----]FIXED: Latched VDEV behaves like normal DES mode if the speed is reduced FIXED: FPLN erased during go around FIXED: After a 2nd go around the approach is no longer in the FPLN bug FIXED: Changing arrival runway but not inserting it still changes the drop down approach options FIXED: Duplicate UTC message in F-Plan FIXED: Activating ALTN doesn't clear original DEST data FIXED: MCDU-FLAN modification in SEC FIXED: EDDM 08L/R VNAV issue FIXED: OMDB, RIDAP 2F SID - min speed at DB570 is 180, but the max at DB585 is 220.
