Following the release of the A350 Airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, iniBuilds has released its first hotfix update. The update addresses a number of bugs and issues found after it was released to the general public.
Generally speaking, the aircraft has seen improvements and fixes across the board. From improvements to the animations and sound mix to fixes to fuel flow and CTDs, the whole aircraft has seen some form of change or update. Some of the feedback was based on community response, whilst some are direct inputs from real-world pilots who gave their feedback. There has also been some improvements to the performance.
Some highlighted changes include the gear sound effects being improved, WASM crash fixes (various) and fixes to the delays in pulling in charts. This also includes the missing terminal charts on the OIS. The whole changelog is down below for you to see.
You can get the update right now from the iniManager. Do note that when you first load the plane in MSFS again, it may take a little longer to load due to the recompiling of the WASM module.
You can buy the iniBuilds A350 Airliner from iniBuilds for £59.99 (excluding taxes). Your purchase will include both the A350-900 and the A350-1000 for both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. A future free update will be released later this year to include the A350-900ULR. It is also available right now through the in-sim Marketplace.
Once you have purchased, be sure to read over the FAQs to help get you started. Expect some tutorial content from FSElite soon.
