Nagaika Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Why on earth would you release the A340 exclusively on market place. The iniManager is such a easy tool to manage all the inibuilds addons and now you put us through the horrendous marketplace expierence. I can only imagine the tedious update process after release Terrible decision 😪 10
Esa Ahonen Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Yeah, a terrible decision. Who will actually buy this from Marketplace when it's been said the Inimanager version is coming? And another truly bad decision is to release it only for 2024. Those who are still sticking with 2020 have done so for good reasons, and in that case, the only option is to skip this aircraft. 3
ErickPinedo Posted October 3 Posted October 3 What is the price of the plane ?? im right now not at home and I wouldl ike to know how much is it.
Winterstellar Posted October 3 Posted October 3 (edited) Imagine if it needs 15 updates like the 350 to be "stable", with the marketplace it will take one year to get these 15 updates. Store exclusivity, feels like those devs on consoles still doing it, it's 2025, there's no point doing that. It's finally like the paid cabin you had for the 350, bad call, another one.

RogerWilco Posted October 3 Posted October 3 The A350 is still not stable at all and has a million bugs. I can only hope no one buys the A340 on the Marketplace. That's the worst decision ever. 5
DarrianCZE Posted October 3 Posted October 3 My semi-educated guess is that they have either an exclusivity agreement with Asobo, or (which is understandable) they are afraid of piracy. But still, terrible decision. I categorically refuse to buy complex addons on Marketplace because of slow update flow, and also I am relatively sure there are limitations, especially in regards to GSX Seated Passengers and FS2Crew Animated FO, because the addon is encrypted. Oh well, Inibuilds, you have lost a potential customer. 5
Viking Blu Posted October 3 Posted October 3 (edited) I am not going to buy it in the Marketplce. I refuse buying any high price complex airliner there. What possessed you to have it in Marketplace only for some months? Whats the point of your secure manager program for PC? For starters, the A340 will run much better on a good PC compared to any X-Box apart from the fact that PC’s can enjoy other perks like repaints from others, GSX Pro and a long etcetera. So you want to make sure the X-box community is happy with how it runs with their system first, after months of probable fixes for that system? (Not to mention the long wait times between updates in Marketplace!). That could very well be a very much watered-down plane if that’s the case. Not a good idea, Inibuilds. I hope, like many of us PC customers, you will reconsider. This is a terrible let-down. Why did you hype us so much to now letting us know of this decision? Could you not tell us at the start?

C. Schaffhausen Posted Saturday at 08:00 AM Posted Saturday at 08:00 AM Agreed, terrible decision. Marketplace purchase is all encrypted and basically no mods can be made to the aircraft, including my personal routine to change instrument view setup to achieve a Parallel42 chaseplane-like experience. Not going to purchase. 4
JPilot Posted Saturday at 04:15 PM Posted Saturday at 04:15 PM I’ve been a long time customer of Inibuilds, and signed up to the forum for the first time now to post this. I’m confused by the decision as well and I won’t be purchasing this on the marketplace. Now, if there is some sort of guarantee that those who purchase it on the marketplace, will be entitled to also receive it via Inibuilds Manager (by way of proof of purchase) then I’ll buy it. 1
tankibenc Posted Saturday at 04:41 PM Posted Saturday at 04:41 PM I don't know why people are frustrated that the plane will be on marketplace. So what? I can still download liveries from flightsim.to. That's really all that matters. 1 3
SmolSnekMax Posted Sunday at 09:39 AM Posted Sunday at 09:39 AM What are the differences in buying through the Marketplace and inimanager? Functionality? What about the price of the A340? Or the release date? everywhere, it just says soon. 1

Schaffhausen said: Marketplace purchase is all encrypted and basically no mods can be made to the aircraft Totally agree on this. One thing that annoys me is that they made the jetways connect to door L1 again as standard, as with the A350, which is hardly to never done IRL as they usually use the L2 door. With the A350 we were able to adjust this on our own through the flightmodel.cfg, which was a working solution. However now that the A340 will be marketplace only and thus encrypted, things like that can't be modded/adjusted to be realistic, which is quite sad for a product advertised to be of high complexity and close to reality. 4
Fangzahn Posted Sunday at 10:19 AM Posted Sunday at 10:19 AM (edited) I'm not going to purchase it on the marketplace if we can't somehow transfer the license to the inimanager. I'm not going to wait weeks for hotfixes or updates. Also, the encryption prevents any type of modding which has always been a big part of the flight sim community.

Significantly slower update distribution, which is crucial especially with regards to hotfixes, which are almost certain after the release. And that some addons may not be able to work with the plane, because it's encrypted. For example, FS2Crew Animated FO or GSX Seated Passengers. 3
Administrators iniBuilds Posted Sunday at 10:03 PM Administrators Posted Sunday at 10:03 PM We appreciate the feedback and understand that some of you prefer purchasing products outside of the Marketplace. For the A340, we’ve chosen to launch exclusively on the Microsoft Marketplace at this time. This decision is primarily driven by the need to protect our work against piracy, as the Marketplace offers the most robust safeguards currently available for high-value, complex aircraft projects. We’ve experienced significant losses from piracy on recent releases, and ensuring the sustainability of our team and future developments is a top priority. The update cycle is quick, as we have experienced in recent test builds, that if we submit on a Thursday its released the following Tuesday for example. We have a patch update already planned for submission on release day so we do not see this being an issue. Thank you for your support and understanding. 3 2 1
