iniBuilds has released version 1.0.4 of its A350 Airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 & 2024.
iniBuilds opened up the forum post by saying they have implemented a new dynamic fuel temperature simulation. This now means fuel behaves more realistically throughout the flight. iniBuilds did provide some information that the A350n features heated fuel tanks, meaning the fuel should never drop below -20°C, thanks to absorbing heat from the airframe and hydraulic systems.
The team has also improved the behaviour of the engine model and the shape and profile of the long-winglet type. Along with working on the new 3D elements of the plane, the team has found ways to refine performance further, providing a boost, particularly for MSFS 2020 users.
Of course, iniBuilds continues to work on providing fixes to the WASM modules with the A350 along with other bug fixes that have been identified. You can see the full changelog down below.
This is the fourth update from iniBuilds for its A350. The team has said multiple times that they are committed to providing updates based on community feedback, along with bigger updates to add new features and functions.
