Inibuilds announces the A310 - What a day to be alive

I have it in X-plane 11 and the 300.

Watch this video. The plane is the Airbus transition from the Boeing style to their own style.

It is amazing.

Yes there is a PFD in absolute classic Boeing 757 and 767 style.
And a freighter version is available too:

And the best detail is: Not even a hotstart is possible, the narrator says it takes almost two minutes to start these huge turbines at 25:55…

Over are the days of hearing “wooosh” three seconds after initializing start and having the engine fully running and stabilized after five seconds! :smiley:
Great detail of awesome realism in all aspects is coming to the iniBuilds Airbusses.

Oh look how absolutely BEAUTYFUL the private jet version of this A310 looks like!
Absolutely want this, that´s like my new flying living room and mobile home :smiley:

At 7:50 you can enjoy the interior and the very tasteful carpet of this absolute gorgeous plane!

Aw imagine getting up in the morning, what to do what to do… playing some videogames, listening to some awesome sci-fi horror audiobook? Aw I see, no power yet - first I need to go into my private cockpit, enjoy the sunrise and have some energy drinks! :smiley:
To start the APU for the luxurious household build inside the hull of this gorgeous plane.

Read it and rejoice

I paid £90 nearly for it on X-Plane and it’s worth every penny. Now it will be free to all and be even better.

Now for the information that everyone wants to know; pricing and release dates!

Pricing… I am extremely honoured to announce that this plane is going to be free. If you own a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator or have an Xbox Game Pass subscription, this airliner will be a part of the Microsoft Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary Standard Edition coming in November of 2022 (you can read more about it in Microsoft Flight Simulator’s Wire post from earlier today)! One of the biggest reasons for our partnership with Microsoft Flight Simulator: the ability to provide high quality aircraft simulations to as many people as possible! This is a fantastic step in our industry, and we can’t wait for you all to get your hands on this aircraft!

I hope that the MSFS owners on Steam are also eligible to have it for free.

Beautiful classic bird!

Seriously!? This is incredible. Scrolling through that link and the plane looks gorgeous in some of those old liveries. And an A310 will make a welcome change from the more modern jetliners.

Seems it’ll be included in a MSFS update in November.

Wonder what they are going to do for a cockpit and systems - FBW?

I do not think A300, A310 are FBW aircraft. (And the only two have yoke)

yep, my bad.

If you’re not familiar with iniBuilds check out some of their stuff because they’re great, and as SuperSix said its worth every bit of $100 as you would have paid in Xplane 11. I’m sure they will have the cockpit and FMS custom coded to match the real A310 which is a very unique airbus experience. This aircraft was before FBW was a thing for Airbus, semi glass/semi steam gauge, and an Airbus with a yoke! It really is fantastic at least to me.

This was the aircraft I was most looking forward to, and now to see it will be free is beyond my wildest dreams! Thanks iniBuilds and thanks MSFS/Asobo or whoever is responsible for coordinating this :slight_smile:

From the way this sim is (slowly) maturing, 5 years from now (if i’m still alive), the definition of “vanilla aircraft” in MSFS will be anything but vanilla.

For those that do not understand what a monumental thing this is.

The A310 from inibuilds in X-Plane is absolutely amazing, the level of detail is on par with the best of them. It has all the modern stuff, simbrief direct integration, CDCLP, LNAV, VNAV (V-Path) etc etc.

The plane it’s is amazing, completely overpowered and will climb like a rocket, getting it down is not easy, it will run away from you if you are not on top it. Watch the videos on YouTube of real A310 pilots flying it

The plane also sits right in the middle of Boeing and Airbus, it’s throttles move like a Boeing it has a yoke, but it’s an Airbus system wise.

There are even switches for certain things as back then glass cockpits were only just coming in and some pilots did not trust them, so airbus allowed switching for some systems from screens to gauges for those pilots.

It is a phenomenal plane, and it easy to learn despite being old.

This is truly a gift from the flight sim god’s…

Do any companies even fly the 310 anymore, or is it for the legacy likers ?

Cargo mainly, But Iran Air still fly’s the A310

Oh well. Ya’ll have fun with it.

Well we are flying around 737-700’s for now knowing it really should be a 800…But we can bend the rules in the sim. These planes were not banished to history because they are old and trash, there are 35 year old 757’s still in use. Its because they burn too much fuel etc.

Will this version be the same as the X-Plane one?

Haha well said! Everyone’s flying around those Ryanair 737-700s like that’s a real thing (it isn’t for anyone who doesn’t know, they operate all -800s except one -700 for training and charters). Then people dismiss a great aircraft like this.

This aircraft is super versatile for short and long haul and a unique experience in the cockpit! Don’t dismiss it off hand, and with ini making it I have no doubt it will be as good as fenix or pmdg. Also it’ll be free to give it a go :grin:

WOW big news Day

Some kind of Halo X Over in MSFS as well!!!

Time Stamped

@Pt6a27 Yup its study Level A310- Just like X-Plane

Personally I think its Fab news, there are certain people in this forum, that like to be a Debbie Downer, with MSFS. Looking forward to this aircraft.
Appreciate the info
