iniBuilds Releases A350-1000 for MSFS 2024: First True Ultra-Long-Haul Airliner in the New Sim
By James Whitfield · · 2 min read
iniBuilds has launched its highly anticipated Airbus A350-1000 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, featuring a custom FMS with RNP AR capability and full fly-by-wire logic. The add-on leverages MSFS 2024's new atmospheric and performance enhancements.
iniBuilds has officially released the Airbus A350-1000 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, marking the first true ultra-long-haul airliner built natively for the platform. The package includes a highly detailed model of the -1000 variant, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines, and introduces a custom Flight Management System (FMS) that supports RNP AR (Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required) approaches, a first for the developer in MSFS.
The cockpit features a fully interactive EFIS and MCDU, with accurate fly-by-wire control laws that simulate Normal, Alternate, and Direct modes. Systems depth extends to hydraulic and electrical buses, FADEC-driven engine start sequences, and a custom autopilot that replicates the A350's unique flight control computer architecture. Visuals benefit from MSFS 2024's enhanced volumetric clouds and ray-traced lighting, while performance optimizations ensure smooth frame rates even at complex hubs like KLAX or EGLL.
iniBuilds has also confirmed that the A350-1000 will receive continuous updates, including a planned ACJ350 VIP variant and integration with Navigraph navdata for up-to-date SID/STAR procedures. Flight model tuning was conducted with input from real-world A350 pilots, aiming for authentic pitch and thrust response. The release is available exclusively on the iniBuilds Store and the MSFS Marketplace for $79.99. This launch sets a new benchmark for long-haul simulation in MSFS 2024 and signals the platform's growing maturity for serious airline operations.
