iniBuilds Airbus A300 for MSFS

Didn’t experience this myself over the weekend and I flew the heck out of it. Something to keep an eye on Inibuilds forum -Steering Tiller on A300 - Systems - iniBuilds Forum

I’m just trying to find the patch notes from last weeks update to see if something was reported as a known issue. Update: Nope!

I’m using a Logitech wheel for nose wheel tiller, never did get into the whole car racing thing so I finally found a use for it. :sweat_smile:

I am experiencing the same issue. Were you able to get it resolved?

There are still many bugs, such as after starting the engine, the engine hydraulic pump is still not working; when modifying the flight plan, MCDU black screen, another MCDU screen freezing, etc.

Next update should be out this week

new update out!

so what ?………………

draw your own conclusions… :wink:

In my opinion the silence is because they fixed a lot of (smaller) bugs (i didn’t even know existed) but nothing seems to have changed regarding the A300 beeing a ressource hog…

I would have expected to read some feedback about that somewhere. Not reading about it makes me fear that everyone gave up on it (the performance i mean. Aircraft is still cool to me…)

new A300 owner here. how does one connect the ground stairs to the door?

In the EFB, there’s an option for left- and right-hand airstairs.

nope there’s actually not on the passenger version for some reason. only on the cargo version. just confirmed this. unfortunate

whats the difference between PAX and LOAD? i assume PAX is the actual number of people on the plane? what is LOAD then? does PAX include their luggage?

when I put PAX to 1, it sets 70lbs in all FWD, MID, and AFT sections. is that assuming each passenger is 210lbs and just spreading out the weight?

This patch fixed my biggest remaining issue with throttle calibration and I’m a happy camper. Now if they could just make time acceleration wok I’d be a happier camper.

I did a test flight in the new update yesterday, had to recalibrate my throttles etc. Only thing I did notice was that the speed hold knob became unusable when trying to set a manual speed on approach. Like it was jammed in profile mode. Only thing I could do was disable IAS hold and tweak the power manually which was a pain being 30 odd NM out from the field.

I’ve noticed this too. Turning it will still tune speed from what I’ve noticed. Just appears to be visual bug. When I press DH button it disappears and reappears when I unselect it.

I had read in the forums that iniBuilds does not support time acceleration with this aircraft, and that folks had found fuel and oil consumption don’t increase with time acceleration (fuel consumption continues at 1x speed even if the sim rate is 2x or greater).

I found an additional issue with time acceleration last night. On autopilot at 2x speed, the aircraft developed pitch oscillations that increase to +/- 200-300 feet per minute vertical speed. I was planning to ignore the fuel/oil consumption issue and use time acceleration anyway, but the pitch oscillations were so great I had to stay at 1x speed.

iniBuilds said they may add support for time acceleration in the future. They were non-committal and didn’t provide a timeline. They also don’t provide refunds, and I didn’t see anything in the product description about not supporting time acceleration, so buyer beware if this is a limitation that would matter to you.

Not directed towards any opinion for that matter but: It’s my simulator, i do what i want with it.

Sometimes i use time acceleration (have done it before in both the 738 and the A32NX), sometimes i don’t.

Sometimes i use my Logitech throttle quadrant, sometimes i’m too lazy to hook it up to the table so i use the keyboard for throttle/mixture etc.

The beauty of freedom infused technology.

Yup, the fact that some people don’t use time acceleration (and some of those seem to get oddly offended by its existence) is no reason for a payware aircraft to not support it for the rest of us. It’s been pretty standard as long as I can remember in flight sims.

For the price I think they should offer that feature! :face_with_monocle:

It’s something in the core of their code, I guess. I suspect that they just can’t do it rather than they don’t want to. A310 has the same problem. Or at least last time I tried 2x acceleration I found it on the ground a couple of minutes later.

They’ll really want to figure it out for the A350…I can’t imagine flying that around with no time acceleration.

Given it works to some degree on nearly every other payware aircraft there’s no reason they shouldn’t be able to figure it out.

PMDG really does it best with their automated time acceleration system.
