iniBuilds recently made a statement in their Discord server, shedding light on some lingering questions about their upcoming A350 add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. These questions mostly concern the lack of stability observed on showcase live streams, performance information, and a release date confirmation.

They begin with vague information on how the aircraft performs, stating it will differ depending on hardware, but it should be within the same ballpark or marginally better than the Fenix A320. To further aid performance, they will also offer low-resolution texture options and no cabin option (MSFS 2024 only, as 2020 doesn’t have a cabin to begin with). 

In addition to their own navigation data, iniBuilds will also include Navigraph’s WASM to ensure maximum stability.

Following the showcase streams and feedback, they have already addressed a multitude of items, including the checklist crash, the WASM crash at Atlanta International Airport, overall stability improvements, sound improvements, and art tweaks. The complete changelog follows below:

Systems:

• Checklist crash fix
• WASM crash at KATL fix
• Stability improvements
• The PACKS on the Before Takeoff Checklist below the line should be a sensed item.
• Clicking CL complete doesn't have an immediate effect

Sounds:

• Fixed APU sound coning; too quiet at the front
• Fixed Exterior aft engine sound distortion at idle
• Adjusted exterior mixing at cruise
• Tweaked aural callout reverb
• Smoothened front to aft sound transition in exterior
• Fixed AP disconnect sound logic

Art:

iniBuilds also emphasizes the importance of running Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 SU 1 Beta to warrant the best experience possible with the 2024 version of their upcoming A350, especially if you use Navigraph. Non-Navigraph users don’t have to be on the latest beta, but it’s still advised nonetheless.
