iniBuilds Global Jet for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 - Features & Official Trailer

Hello!

Since first introducing the iniBuilds Global Jet at FSimUK, we’ve been looking forward to showing you more of what it’s like to fly. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the aircraft’s features and sharing the official trailer!

One of the things we’ve enjoyed most about developing the Global Jet is the variety of flying it opens up. You can spend the night crossing the Atlantic, fly a short repositioning leg into a regional airport, or plan a day of charter flights with several stops. Each trip gives you a different reason to get to know the aircraft.

Flight Deck & Avionics

The customised Vision Flight Deck puts flight planning, performance and navigation at your fingertips. Build and amend routes directly on the displays, load a flight plan from SimBrief or the in-sim EFB, and keep a secondary plan ready if the destination changes. Multi-leg trips are also supported, with DEST 2, 3 & 4 available so you can see your day's workload from leg 1. The FMS also supports holds, lateral offsets, pilot-defined waypoints and winds pulled from the simulator along your route.

You can work through weight and balance, takeoff and landing performance on board. Departure calculations account for factors such as wet runways and obstacle clearance, and the calculated takeoff speeds feed through to the primary flight display. Once airborne, VNAV manages the vertical profile from climb to descent, with speed lookahead for upcoming restrictions and step-climb recommendations based on weight, altitude and temperature.

From Cruise to the Runway

On approach, the head-up display brings flight guidance and synthetic terrain into view, with a runway outline, approach lights and an extended centreline. Synthetic vision is also available on the primary flight display. The Global Jet includes a dedicated steep approach mode, complete with its own indications and landing speeds.

After touchdown, the airport moving map gives you a closer look at the runway layout, your position and the runway remaining. Further up the route, integrated weather radar is available on the flight displays, with auto tilt and vertical weather (VWX) shown on the Vertical Situation Display, so you can see how storm cells sit relative to your flight path. CPDLC support through Hoppie, SayIntentions and BeyondATC lets you handle supported communications from the flight deck.

Aircraft Systems & EFB

From the first electrical contactor closing to the cabin depressurising after landing, the aircraft’s systems respond to what you do in the cockpit. Electrical loads transfer as power sources change, hydraulic pressure governs which flight controls can move, and the air-conditioning packs shed load during engine start. The autothrottle and engine model use EPR-based thrust targets drawn from aircraft performance tables.

You can follow those changes on nine system synoptics and the EFB’s live systems page. The electronic checklist queues relevant procedures when caution and warning messages appear. The EFB also gives you access to payload planning, throttle calibration, failures and flight tools such as pause at top of descent and automatic step climbs.

And yes, there’s Jetcard integration!

Two Interactive Cabins

The Classic and Futuristic interiors are both fully walkable, with animated doors, seats and window shades. Use the flight attendant panel or cabin tablet to adjust individual reading lights, choose from nine mood-lighting colours or switch on the star constellation ceiling.

The cabin changes with the flight. Select Boarding and you’ll find refreshments and hot towels ready for your passengers. Switch to Rest & Relax and the lights dim, the shades close and blankets and a chess set appear. The lighting follows the aircraft’s cabin power, and you’ll see rain on the windows in both interiors.

Recorded from the Real Aircraft 🎧

Echo19 used more than ten microphones to capture the BR710 engines, including the distinctive growl as they spool up. Those recordings were integrated in Wwise alongside dedicated audio for the cockpit, cabin, ramp and tower flybys. You’ll hear a different perspective as you move outside while the APU is running, or settle into the cabin after start.

Some of our favourite details are the ones you hear before the aircraft moves. Electrical relays click as power comes online, cooling fans and air-conditioning packs change with the systems, and the hydraulics respond audibly as loads change. On the ground, a firm brake application can set things shifting and rattling in the cabin. Turn the volume up for the quieter moments as well as the flybys!

Watch the Trailer 📽️

There’s plenty more to share! Next week, we’ll be back with our Welcome to the Global Jet video, where we’ll get into the flight deck and show you how to fly the aircraft. We’ll walk through setting up for departure, building a route in the FMS and using the avionics and systems as the flight progresses.

We’ll also take a closer look at some of the features we’ve touched on today, with more insight into how they work and when you’d use them. Whether this is your first business jet or you’re already familiar with this kind of flying, we hope it gives you a good starting point for your first flight.

For now, we hope you enjoy the trailer! Thanks for all the support and enthusiasm you’ve shown since our first look at the Global Jet. We can't wait for you to get your hands on it!
