iniSimulations A310-300 ON THE LINE for X-Plane 11 has been released.
The aircraft product comes with a suite of features that brings this aircraft to life. Building on their A300 series of aircraft, iniSimulations has crafted a custom FMS designed to replicate the experience of the A310, which implementing a brand new NAV system. The aircraft has been extensively tested by real-world pilots to ensure that flight dynamics and systems closely align with the aircraft itself.
As with other aircraft developed by iniSimulations, the aircraft comes with detailed modelling, 4K texturing and a detailed cockpit. Initially, the package comes with a Passenger, Freighter, ACJ (Private Business Interior Configuration) variation of the aircraft. Coming in August, iniSimulations say that the Medevac and MRTT variants will be available as a free update for A310 customers.
In addition to the comprehensive features, the A310 also comes with over 50 failure situations you can simulate within the aircraft. The aircraft also comes with complete ACARS/CDPLC functionality, a custom EFB and an in-sim printer which will spit out key information from the CDPLC operation. Furthermore, the aircraft is compatible with Active Sky XP.
