iniBuilds has recently issued a new update to their newly released A350 Airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, bringing further WASM stability, bug fixes, and two new features.

Marked by a controversial launch—with a creator even asking for a refund—update v1.0.2 aims to get their ultimate airliner experience back on track with enhanced WASM stability, a substantial amount of bug fixes, and two new features: the A350 MORA (Minimum Off-Route Altitude) implementation and the Secondary Navigation Display, which provides backup navigation should the primary flight management system be unavailable or degraded.

They have also made a note on the many community mods that supposedly improve the A350’s flight model: “Comments and updates from the community regarding flight model cfgs are mostly irrelevant, or a placebo effect, as they have little to no effect on how the aircraft performs in sim. We have tuned the plane to fly as closely to real life with the support of our technical working group and A350 pilots team”, concluded iniBuilds, while also addressing one of the mod files and their direct impact – or lack thereof – on the flight model:

Mod File Feature List:

‍

Major Flight Stability Increases (aircraft should feel much heavier on the controls, will be improved on)

iniBuilds: This is not possible or true as its controlled via our WASM. 

Corrected Reference Speeds (Overspeed Limits increased, set to real values) Overspeed and Cruise Mach

iniBuilds: Fixed in v1.01 

Reduced Thrust Multiplier (lower overall thrust output).

iniBuilds: Only effects total thrust. Reducing it as indicated will have a negative/unrealistic impact on SRS

Increased Ground Friction (initial roll requires thrust increase)

iniBuilds: Unrealistic modification as this was tuned as per IRL references and pilot feedback. 

Reduced Elevator Trim Speed (slightly)

iniBuilds: This is not possible or true as its controlled via our WASM. 

Slower Spoiler-on Deploy timing (mostly in-flight, the spoilers seem unaffected)

iniBuilds: This is not possible or true as its controlled via our WASM.  Can be adjusted slightly in cfg’s but this is not realistic. 

Custom Flight Dynamics Overhaul.

iniBuilds: This is not possible or true as its controlled via our WASM. 

Improved Flare and Rotation Behavior (looking into this).

iniBuilds: This is not possible or true as its controlled via our WASM. 

Slower Spoiler Deployment (looking into this, may not be needed after V1.0.1).

iniBuilds: This is not possible or true as its controlled via our WASM. 

Improved Fuel Flow Scalar (looking into this).

iniBuilds: This is not possible or true as its controlled via our WASM. 

Improved Climb-Lift Ratios.

iniBuilds: Unrealistic modification as this was tuned as per IRL references and pilot feedback.

Brake Changes (higher priority, looking into this also).

iniBuilds: This is not possible or true as its controlled via our WASM.
