Infinite Flight has released version 26.3 of the simulator, introducing the Airbus A350-1000 to the fleet alongside expanded terrain coverage and a new Flight Assist feature.
Without a doubt, the headline feature of this release is the addition of the Airbus A350-1000. The aircraft joins its smaller sibling, the Airbus A350-900, and is available in 13 liveries representing operators including British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Qatar Airways, Japan Airlines, and more. In addition, with Qantas’s real-world Project Sunrise flights nearing commencements, Infinite Flight has also included the airline’s A350-1000ULR, VH-OJA “Vega.”
Beyond the A350-1000 and eight additional liveries introduced across the wider fleet, the 26.3 update addresses the previous lack of terrain data in the polar regions. By carefully combining multiple datasets, Infinite Flight has removed flat terrain areas in locations such as northern Canada, Alaska, and Greenland. The update arrives at the perfect time for those planning ultra-long-haul A350-1000 flights through the polar regions.
The final major addition in the 26.3 update is Flight Assist. The feature is designed for those still learning the basics of manual flying, preventing the aircraft from exceeding pitch and bank angle limits. Flight Assist should reduce the likelihood of stalls or spins, particularly during critical phases of flight such as take-off.
Rounding out the update, Infinite Flight introduced a variety of smaller improvements, including a refreshed control setup, more prominent stall and overspeed warnings, and refined jet bridge and parking-location selection. Bugs such as incorrect ATC speed assignments, map flickering, and Chinese font downloads issues have also been addressed in 26.3. Finally, 71 new airports were introduced, including Victoria Falls and Phuket International Airports, while 52 3D airports received scenery updates.
Infinite Flight 26.3 is now available to download from the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. Visit Infinite Flight’s website for the full 26.3 update changelog.
