iniBuilds has recently released an update for their Airbus A300-600R add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The aircraft has been updated to version 1.1.2 and includes various fixes to systems, art, sound, and more.

The new update has been in the works for the past 10 weeks. It has been designed to provide the aircraft with more immersion and authenticity. Some of the notable changes include performance improvements, an overhaul of lateral and vertical navigation, and the ability to have a custom EFB background.

The new version features a significant changelog, which is listed below:
