iniBuilds has been busy rolling out new updates for two of their flagship aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator—bringing realism, fresh features, and over 60 new liveries for virtual pilots to enjoy.
First up is the iniBuilds A300-600R Airliner, which has received its V1.0.3/4 update. This release focuses on polishing the flight experience and increasing the realism that fans of the classic widebody jet crave. One of the standout changes? The nose gear suspension has been adjusted to replicate the iconic nose-down attitude of the A300 during taxi and takeoff. The nose angle has been lowered by about 2 to 3 degrees, enhancing both visual fidelity and rotation handling.
Another small but immersive touch is the custom engine windmilling animation. The update tweaks the N1 fan animation to vary depending on wind speed, replicating the subtle motion of the turbines when the engines are off but airflow is passing through them.
A functional and fully modeled standby compass has also been added to the cockpit. This analog backup system is ready to deploy from its stowed position above the center pillar, providing magnetic heading data in the event of electronic nav failures—just like the real thing.
And for livery lovers, iniBuilds has unleashed a massive wave of over 60 new liveries, available now via the iniManager. You’ll find paints for Delta, Air Afrique, Alitalia, Singapore, and many more.

Meanwhile, the A350 Airliner has also received a noteworthy update with version V1.0.8, available for both MSFS 2020 and 2024. This release brings a refined step climb logic, more robust ECAM systems, and a comprehensive set of bug fixes and improvements.
The step climb feature has been expanded to support more user-defined steps and full SimBrief integration. Combined with the automatic step climb functionality, this makes long-haul operations more fuel-efficient and realistic.
iniBuilds worked with a real A350 engineer to refine the aircraft’s ELEC and FCTL ECAM systems. The update includes more detailed failure states and introduces deeper redundancy modeling, bringing pilots closer to the true complexity of Airbus systems. Failures can now be triggered by ATA chapter through the OIS, which also received a user interface refresh.
