For the third time developer iniBuilds has issued an update to their new A300-600R aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This update has been highly anticipated by the community and addresses a huge number of items that have been reported over the last few weeks.
This update fixes some art issues such as animations, light positions, and fuel changes. The EFB has some new features including the ability to drag the Navigraph charts and in some good news for Thrustmaster TCA users, you now have extra throttle calibration options to get rid of the pesky reverse thrust issue. The full changelog can be seen below.
As usual, you can access and download the update from the iniManager – and for anybody who has not yet purchased the A300-600R, you can get your copy from the iniBuilds store for £34.99 (excluding taxes).
