iniBuilds TriStar Airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 v1.0.5 Released

iniBuilds TriStar Airliner V1.0.5 Update 🚀

Version 1.0.5 is here, and it addresses a few key areas, there’s a lot packed in! Across the aircraft, we’ve made a wide range of improvements based directly on your feedback. On the systems side, that includes fixes to electrical behaviour, pressurisation, INS, and flight controls. Some key highlights are corrected IDG oil temperature readings, improved go-around and TOGA behaviour, a working stick shaker with proper vibration, and a pressurisation system that now behaves as expected.

The INS has also been refined, with remote waypoint loading and post-flight accuracy checks now working again. A number of smaller but annoying issues have been cleared up too, like ALT ALERT flashing incorrectly, ILS lights acting up during taxi, and the DH light triggering when it shouldn’t. We’ve also made targeted fixes to the PMS, including climb speed logic and BOD limits, along with restoring missing GPWS alerts and correcting a few visual quirks like cabin lighting in Cold & Dark.

Overall, this update focuses on refining and tightening the experience across the board, with a strong emphasis on improving day-to-day usability. It builds on an already solid foundation, as the TriStar continues to evolve with an expanding set of features that improve accuracy, streamlines workflows, and brings greater depth and realism to every phase of flight.

What’s been added since release ✈️

Since launch, the TriStar has continued to grow with a range of new features and enhancements that expand both operational capability and overall immersion:

Enhanced PFB (Paper Flight Bag) functionality
The PFB has been significantly expanded, now featuring an enroute map with SimBrief route overlay (magenta) and live aircraft track (orange) for improved situational awareness. Additional usability upgrades include a rudder/tiller control option for flexible hardware setups, and a “SYNC” function on the landing performance card to streamline workflow and data entry.

Improved navigation & INS capability
The INS system has been further developed with remote waypoint entry, allowing synced input across multiple units, alongside the ability for each INS to independently draw routes on the map display. In addition, autopilot control via INS3 has been introduced, offering more authentic navigation procedures.

Expanded aircraft systems & realism
Key systems have been enhanced with the addition of a fully functional fuel jettison system (with visual effects), brake temperature simulation displayed on the FE panel, and refined engine behaviour with subtle parameter variance (N1 / TGT / EPR) to create a more organic, less “perfect” feel.

Safety systems & alerts
TCAS functionality now includes test capability and RA audio alerts, while GPWS has been expanded with Mode 1 and Mode 5 warnings, delivering accurate “PULL UP” and glideslope deviation callouts when required.

Flight deck & operational tools
A Takeoff & Landing Data Card has been added to the captain’s side, giving quick access to key performance data during critical phases of flight.

Visual & immersion improvements
Additional effects such as engine start-up smoke help bring more life to the aircraft, complementing the growing depth of systems and interactivity.s (N1 / TGT / EPR )

All of these enhancements are highlighted in our latest update video, giving you a first-hand look at what’s new. Be sure to check it out to see these additions in action.

Features coming soon? 👀

We’re not done there! Development on the TriStar is still ongoing, with even more features and QoL upgrades already in the pipeline. From subtle improvements like PFB Pause at Top of Descent, to deeper immersion through progressive aircraft loading, and streamlined workflows with direct SimBrief import into INS3, there’s plenty more on the way. As always, we’ll continue building on this platform with the goal of delivering an even more complete & refined experience!
