iniSimulations has provided their latest update on the development for its A300-600R(F) for X-Plane 11. Since their last update, the team has been working on the systems and going through a rigorous testing phase to ensure that within the next couple of weeks, it will be pushed to the final beta phase.
Whilst development continues, the team has released a new product page for their upcoming A300-600R(F) ON THE LINE, which includes a break down of some of the features to come. As we have already learned, the aircraft will come fully detailed with plenty of features including full SID/STAR support, a completely bespoke hydraulic, electrical and pressurisation system, along with the unique A300-600R trim tank functionality. We also know it will feature full 4K PBR texturing, high-resolution cockpit displays and totally custom FMOD sounds. A full feature list is below.
In addition, the team shared off a handful of new preview images of the aircraft in action.
Whilst we continue to await a release, we will, of course, keep you informed of any progress.
You can read more on the iniSimulations blog page.

Furthermore, we are nearing the end of painting all liveries requested by the community from realistic to fictional liveries, and you can check the progress on these here.
We know the community is excited as are we to get their hands on this truly glorious product! However, please note we really want to provide you, our customers, an excellent first impression and product, and therefore we will ensure it is extensively reviewed and tested before we proceed to the release phase. We have some awesome things planned for you to gain greater insight into the product before release, which will be announced soon!
As we’ve mentioned before, we love interacting with the community, on a personal basis, and invite you to join our Discord to speak to others and our team regarding this project, or sign up to the iniBuilds Forum for an alternative engagement experience.
Stay tuned, thank you for checking in and we wish you all a great week ahead.
