[RELEASED] iniBuilds F406 Caravan II

Has anyone had issues updating to v1.0.4 from inibuilds? I opened a ticket with them, when I try to update I get the current 1.0.2 version.

I wonder if they rolled it back? After updating I put up a quick flight and the airspeed indicator didn’t work after a normal pre-flight where the pitot tube covers were removed. Since I have not had the time to repeat/confirm this, I have not yet reported it. Could be others found problem(s) with the update?

Perhaps? I tried a clean install yesterday and today with the same results, old 1.0.2 version. I’ll update here if I hear back on my ticket.

Is it now career mode compatible?

Nothing mentioned in the release notes, and it hasn’t made it to Marketplace yet afaik so no one knows if it has changed anything with Career. Considering Marketplace is still waiting on iniBuilds to approve an update for the Spartan that released 3 or 4 months ago, it may be a while.

Quick question, i know cargo is dynamic. But does the plane also have visible passengers?

The ILS has gone AWOL again on the latest beta

An SU4 thing or unique to the F406, in your estimation?

Just seems to be the f406, worked ok on previous beta.

This is from the iniManager today:

v1.0.5

Sep 22, 2025

  • Fixed - pitot cover model nodes missing causing issues on cold and dark starts

v1.0.4

Sep 16, 2025

  • Fixed - Missing pilots in MSFS 20/2024

  • Fixed - the exhaust interiors are not ‘dark’ and don’t have any illusion of depth + lighter parts of the engine are clipping through and visible

  • Fixed - Livery decal floating above nose baggage door

  • Fixed - WT GPS GARMIN orphan text

  • Fixed - strange dark artifacts around the fuselage and windows

  • Fixed - OBS2 TO/From flags background texture

  • Fixed - Visual artifacts on exterior

  • Fixed - Engine exhausts have parts/textures clipping through and visible from inside them

I just bought and tested the F406. I did not get any visible passengers in SU4b.13 and also no co-pilot visible.

Thanks for the reply. That is indeed a shame.

If I purchase this via the FS 2020 Marketplace can it still be used with the TDS GTN-750xi? I don’t like having to rely on 20 different updater/shop apps to manage my addons.

I’ve been a bit spoilt by the A2A / Blacksquare planes - does the F406 have any sort of headphone simulation ? It REALLY needs it ! With the keybinds for the headphone sim not working (for 5 years now ?) at the moment I either have to go into settings to turn it on and off or use the windows volume mixer to do the whole flight with MSFS volume down to about 20%.

This aircraft is still not compatible with Career Mode. Was it ever officially promised? Is this abandoned now?

From the description of their official announcement video of this product on YouTube:

“With features including multiple aircraft variants that suite different missions, integrated GTN 650, mission support for MSFS 2024 career mode and much more.”

Seems about as official and clear as it gets, and yet nothing from them in half a year.

(Here’s the sauce)

Yeah well it’s disappointing. But it’s also humanly impossible to support and upkeep so many products while constantly releasing new ones. Most aircraft end up being abandoned sooner rather than later.

cabin lights slider not working. plane is on, but this cabin lights slider doesn’t seem to do anything I can tell. anyone else get this to work?

Have they implemented single engine physics yet?

no update since 2025-09-22. The way we know them, this is it. I don’t expect any further updates
