New Feature - Collimated HUD – Heads-Up Display System

After some tweaks and bug fixes, we’re proud to announce that the HUD is finally here! A fully functional, realistic Heads-Up Display system is now live with v1.1.1. This system delivers accurate projection and dynamics right in your eye line, helping improve situational awareness in any weather.

  • Optional visibility via the OIS equipment page
  • Smooth deploy/stow animations
  • Accurate FMA display including AP, FD, A/THR & BTV
  • Speed, altitude, and vertical speed symbology
  • Declutter logic with phase-of-flight-based visibility
  • Crosswind Mode: Centres the HUD during high crosswind situations to retain critical info visibility

Bugs & Feedback Addressed

We’ve received feedback from VR users about MFDs not being clickable. The issue appears to be related to how mouse interaction checks occur per screen, which sometimes fails in VR frame updates. Investigation is ongoing, we hear you and are working on a fix.

Vertical Display (VD) Range Indicator

A known issue with the range indication logic on the Vertical Display has been acknowledged. This is a system with high complexity both in real life and in the sim, and we’re planning a broader rewrite of the logic in a future update.

Cursor Behaviour on MFD

Some users noted that both cursors disappear when a text box is active, whereas IRL, the opposite side’s cursor typically remains. This is a design choice to avoid mouse input conflicts, given users only have one active input source in the sim. We’ll continue monitoring feedback on this.

Hydraulic System Logic (Flaps Behaviour)

The HYD system logic has been fully overhauled. Previously, outer flaps didn’t extend when hydraulics were lost, despite the SD page showing they should. We’ve reworked the logic and it should now operate as required.

  • Inner and outer flap animations now follow real-world logic
  • Asymmetry modelled, trigger the Inner Flaps Fault via the OIS Failures page to simulate
  • ECAM will show INR FLAPS warning and flap position differences, just like the real aircraft
  • Outer flaps will continue to move using the ADBG system even when hydraulics are lost

ECAM Memo Formatting Feedback

We've had a lot of community feedback on formatting and missing elements in the ECAM Memo section. While we’ve made efforts to incorporate additional user-sourced data since launch, some elements, like formatting, are intentionally based on a specific airline’s reference. This reflects a realistic MSN configuration and software version we had verified access to.

Visual & Exterior Enhancements

Engine Blur Refinements

The engine blur animation has been updated with new templates and more transitional texture stages for a smoother, more believable startup and spool-up sequence. Your wing views just got a serious upgrade.

Watch the Start-up with the updated blur below!

Refined Metallic Textures

Several tweaks have been made to metal material rendering to elevate realism, including more accurate engine inlet detailing, enhanced window frame textures & patched winglet texture regression.

FS24-Exclusive Weathering Pass

For MSFS2024 users, we’ve rolled out advanced weathering effects, this will add some brand-new texture flags to reduce pixelation on low settings, subtle but impactful additions like dents and taped areas on wings & more realistic wear and tear visible across the entire airframe!

Window Blinds – Now Visible from Outside

A small but highly requested touch, window blinds are now visible from the exterior model, enhancing immersion during your walkarounds, fly-bys and inflight shots camera views!

Xbox Update – Microsoft Marketplace
We’re pleased to confirm that the long-awaited iniBuilds A350 Airliner has now been fully tested and is scheduled to go live on Xbox next week for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! (if all goes well).

This update includes the ULR (Ultra Long Range) variant, expanding your range and options on console. Please note the HUD feature is not included in this release, but it’s well underway and will be arriving soon in a future update. But all the exciting and cool features you see on the A350 will be there! However, please do see the below chart about what features are not Xbox compatible:

For those on MSFS 2020, the build is still not in a releasable state, and we appreciate your patience while we work to resolve platform-specific issues.
A selection of new livery packs will also be available to enhance your experience—and who knows, maybe there will be some special offers to celebrate? 😉
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. We’re excited to bring these improvements to our Xbox community very soon.
