iniBuilds has recently issued an update to their A300-600R Premium Airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, improving systems, performance, visuals, sounds, and overall usability.

Update v1.0.7 delivers significant performance gains across a wide range of systems, from low-end to high-end. On their low-spec test system with a mobile RTX 4070, the passenger version went from 26.8 FPS to 46.8 FPS, and the freighter went from 30.7 FPS to 43.6 FPS, with stability improvements. On their high-end test system with a 9800X3D and an RTX 4090, the frames per second on the passenger version went from 64.7 FPS to 80.8 FPS, and on the freighter version from 75.7 FPS to 84.3 FPS.

They have also implemented numerous autopilot and flight mode fixes, added pause at top of descent, time compression, CPDLC compatibility for BATC/SI, improved EFB startup options, and resolved a variety of art, LOD, and sound issues. The complete changelog follows below:
