    Das iniBuilds A380-Projekt für den Microsoft Flight Simulator wurde nach jahrelangen Spekulationen innerhalb der Flugsimulator-Community endlich offiziell bestätigt. Diese Ankündigung ist vor allem für Xbox-Nutzer von Bedeutung, die bisher keinen Zugang zur A380-Freeware-Option von FlyByWire hatten. Nach monatelangen Gerüchten hat iniBuilds kürzlich konkrete Schritte unternommen, um den A380 Superjumbo in den Microsoft Flight Simulator zu bringen.

    Rezente Updates von iniBuilds in den sozialen Medien deuten darauf hin, dass das A380-Projekt wieder aktiv entwickelt wird. Das Team hat auf seinen Social-Media-Plattformen faszinierende Einblicke in seine Forschungsphase gewährt und insbesondere seine methodische Herangehensweise an die Datenerfassung vorgestellt. Während eines Forschungstages, den sie als "Daten, Daten, Daten" bezeichneten, wurden Teammitglieder dabei beobachtet, wie sie umfangreiche Messungen an einem echten A380-Flugzeug vornahmen. Der vielleicht aussagekräftigste Beweis wurde geliefert, als iniBuilds ein Bild des Bildschirms einer Multifunction Control Display Unit (MCDU) veröffentlichte, auf dem die Flugnummer "INIA380" angezeigt wurde. Dieser Screenshot, der eindeutig von einem A380-Flugzeug stammt, bestätigte die erneute Ausrichtung des Projekts.

    iniBuilds Targets Console Users with Payware A380

    Die Ankündigung des iniBuilds A380 MSFS-Projekts hat besondere Bedeutung für Konsolennutzer, die lange Zeit nicht in der Lage waren, den kultigen Superjumbo im Microsoft Flight Simulator zu erleben. Konsolen-Enthusiasten haben mit Neid beobachtet, wie PC-Benutzer Zugang zum FlyByWire A380-Projekt erhielten. FlyByWire hat jedoch mehrfach ausdrücklich erklärt, dass es keine Pläne gibt, den A380 auf den Xbox-Marktplatz zu bringen. Damit haben Xbox-Spieler keine Möglichkeit mehr, das größte Passagierflugzeug der Welt zu fliegen. Folglich waren viele Konsolensimulanten enttäuscht, als das Alpha-Modell des A380 von FlyByWire ausschließlich für PC-Nutzer verfügbar wurde. Im Gegensatz zu PC-Plattformen stehen Xbox-Nutzer vor erheblichen Hindernissen beim Zugang zu komplexen Freeware-Add-ons. Diese Einschränkungen ergeben sich aus technischen Zwängen, da viele Freeware-Projekte auf externe Abhängigkeiten oder Frameworks angewiesen sind, die auf Xbox-Systemen nicht unterstützt werden. Darüber hinaus verlangt das Xbox-Ökosystem, dass alle Inhalte über den offiziellen Marktplatz vertrieben werden, wodurch Konsolennutzer von der lebendigen Freeware-Community ausgeschlossen werden, die PC-Simulatoren genießen. Angesichts der Beliebtheit des Microsoft Flight Simulators auf Konsolen sieht iniBuilds eindeutig eine Chance, diesen unterrepräsentierten Markt zu bedienen.

    Community Reacts to A380 Announcement with Mixed Sentiment

    In Online-Foren und sozialen Medien hat die Ankündigung des iniBuilds A380 MSFS geteilte Meinungen in der Flugsimulations-Community hervorgerufen. Die Reaktionen reichen von Begeisterung bis hin zu Skepsis, wobei sich die Diskussionen um verschiedene Schlüsselaspekte der Erfolgsbilanz und des Geschäftsansatzes des Entwicklers drehen. Viele virtuelle Piloten haben sich aufgrund von Leistungsproblemen mit früheren iniBuilds-Produkten zurückhaltend gezeigt. Insbesondere die A350 des Unternehmens wurde häufig als problematisch bezeichnet. Das A380-Projekt von iniBuilds stellt jedoch einen bedeutenden Meilenstein für die Flugsimulations-Community dar, da die Piloten sich nun darauf freuen können, das ikonische Doppeldecker-Flugzeug mit demselben Detailgrad zu erleben, den iniBuilds mit seinen früheren Airbus-Projekten erreicht hat. Obwohl es keinen konkreten Zeitplan für die Veröffentlichung gibt, lässt die methodische Herangehensweise des Teams an die Datenerfassung auf ein Engagement für Genauigkeit schließen, das die Investition in die Payware rechtfertigen könnte.

    not necessarily, half of the systems are already there, after all, from the MSFS point of view, it's the same as the A350, just in a different packaging. :)

    we already have an a380 by flybywire,its free and it has the quality of a payware aircraft

    And not even takeoff, handle nor have external modelling done properly. Inibuilds A350 is worth $50 at best. Screw them

    Bro what about the a340 we’ve already got a good A380

    Some of you in this community are seriously deranged and delusional. Inibuilds a350 takes off horizontally into the air. The main bogeys are too skinny. The flap fairings are too skinny. The wings are too thick. It is unstable during final and the systems are not fully modelled. Meanwhile, The fbw a380s systems are accurate, it really does have a380 pilots on their team, they constantly update it and it’s free. Oh and it is modelled perfectly except the over the top wing droop AND it has better fps.
    You cannot be talking about the same devs and aircraft. What a joke comment

    11 months ago

    Let the greedy, lazy developer try to compete with a freeware product that works wonders despite being a wip. Inibuilds will charge top level prices and still release a buggy, undercooked, badly modelled aircraft which will wake up the blind and dumb within this community. They’re cooked bc their a350 is shite and unfinished.

    11 months ago

    “Realistic” smh. Pmdg is realistic. Fenix even more so. Fat wings, skinny main bogeys, levitation takeoffs plus u stable approaches and unrealistic systems to the real a/c = realistic to someone who clearly knows nothing. As long as ur happy kid

    i recommend that they fix up the A350 and make it better than it is right now instead of leaving it with all minor bugs and bad look of the cockpit!!! I

    Oh come on, the A350 is still struggling with terrible performance and WASM crashes without end. The latest ini release, the Reims Cessna 406 also struggles with some serious bugs, if you read along in various forums and then they want to bring out the next plane? At ini only quantity counts, so money instead of quality.

    When are they gonna fix the AN-225 for FS2024 man….

    11 months ago

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but with my 3080 and Ryzen 7 5800X3D, I only get 10 FPS in the A380 with medium/high settings. With the same settings, I get 30-40 fps in the A350. I don't know if it's my problem or not. I didn't buy the 350. The A380 also doesn't have a calculator implemented, which is sad in my opinion.

    11 months ago

    whats are you on about, its terrible proformance wise.

    11 months ago

    Who’s going to buy it? The FBW A380 is more than enough.The ini A350 is terrible.Modeling, sound, bugs, performance—everything deserves the lowest rating.For the FBW A380, sound is handled by Boris. He’s so meticulous that even the slat and flap sounds are distinctly crafted—it’s incredibly realistic.The ini A350’s sound feels unnatural, as if it’s simply playing back recordings. In showcase fixed cameras, cabin sounds aren’t simulated at all, so you end up hearing nothing. Unless ini changes its sound developer, it won’t be able to beat FBW.

    I understand their target of the console market, but this just feels like a really poorly timed release given the state of their current fleet. I imagine they aren’t aiming at competing with the FBW (which they would really struggle with imo) and instead are competing with whatever alternative exists on console (Bredok?) so they can probably be loose on quality control too. I just hope it doesn’t impact the fixing of the A350 which whilst still unreliable is in a considerably better state than on release.

    Instead of another airbus, how about we get a study level 787 or something

    I’m a PC player, and there’s only ONE iniBuilds aircraft I like, the BF-108 Taifun. Other than that, screw that greedy ahh developer, I’ll go fly other aircraft instead. Ik console players can’t access it, but the FBW A380 is probably going to be infinitely better. And to the person having lag problems, thats probably because you’re using the 8k version of it, the 4k version is just fine. And Im not on a high end system, by any means. I’m on an Acer Nitro 5 with an Intel i5-12500H and a 4 gigabyte RTX 3050M. 32 gb of ram might be helping me a little, but still, its not that bad

    11 months ago

    A bunch of grown ass adults arguing over their favorite dev or product. People, if your computer can’t handle it, then don’t buy it, simple. Stop trying to ruin other people's names and products. The A380 will be a welcome airliner in the sim, and many will enjoy it, just as I enjoy the FBW A380 and the IniA350, which is becoming the most flown long-hauler in the sim. Buy what you like, it’s your money. Stop trying to put your negativity on others.

    your trying way too hard stop it

    11 months ago

    so you're saying its ok for FBW aircraft to be a working in progress but not the ini A350 what’s different other than one is free why is it ok for FBW to have unfinished product, WHAT I MEAN BY UNFINISHED PRODUCT IS MAKING UPDATES both are for 2024 2020 both uses code both are software and software is never finish regardless of how much you think it is there will be changes and updates to both products. How is ini greedy when they have only released two commercial aircraft as their own, everything else is contracted with MSFS. Everything you say shows how bias you are and makes no sense.

    There’s are lot of community favourite airplanes out there not yet perfected. Why don’t @Inibuilds amongst other renowned developers coordinate their works to get all the models available? Working an already acceptable masterpiece is unacceptable and irresponsible. I wish there’s a community statutory body that will approve release and marketing of all products available for the community. SAD AND GREEDY!

    why is inibuilds Adding the A380 Flybywire made 1 what about the A340-300 or 600?

    11 months ago

    FBW is allowed to do it because it´s FREE and not 60 euros or even 80 Dollars. For 60 euros I don´t want an unfinished plane. Stop being delusional

    People will hate on you for that but you’re 100% correct… 80 bucks I want a finished plane, not some buggy work in progress… Either make it free, or drop the price if it’s that shit. The FBW A380 is proof that you don’t need to charge people extortionate amounts of money for a highly detailed well-built plane, but ini seem to just wanna go full whack for their utter dogcrap product. No wonder the A350 was pirated and cracked to oblivion when it first released. It’s still being cracked with each and every version. INI brought this on themselves for being a crappy lazy developer. This A380 will flop so hard (hopefully).

    11 months ago

    lol the iniBuilds A380 will take shits all over your PC and probably never get off the ground. They’re definitely gonna charge 100+ bucks for it too. The FBW, for all its bugs, is still a damn good plane. In fact, it’s one of the best A380s MSFS has, and it’s FREE. It should cost over 60 bucks but yeah, it’s free… iniBuilds A350 is a horrid mess as it is, and that’s 90 bucks… Do you like paying money for horrid crap?

    at best? bro the A350 has been cracked within an inch of its life over on AeroHub lmao! It’s not even worth $20 now haha! Right there with you… Screw inibuilds. Useless lazy developer.

    At least I’m not the only one who thinks the A380 by FBW flaps its wings like a seagul when it moves about haha! Even still, you’re right… the FREE A380 is far better than the 90 buck hot pile of horse shit that is the iniBuilds A350. No wonder it got cracked on day one and is still being cracked over on AeroHub haha! Screw iniBuilds.

    I’m on a 3060 12GB OC and a Ryzen 7 3700x with 32GB RAM and I get a solid consistent 28-36fps on the A380 with most of my settings on medium/high and I play in 1080p. The A350 I get 40+ but it’s a trash plane so it barely flies and if it does indeed get off the ground, it’s a useless garbage waste of 90 bucks.

    he’s right on every single metric though… I’m assuming you’re an iniFanGirl or just one of their paid shills. The company is a joke and the A350 got cracked to oblivion on AeroHub (basically 2024’s simplaza) lol!

    I’ve already seen the ending. As expected, there will inevitably be a bunch of absurd modeling errors that players can spot instantly, avionics logic flaws, and low quality landing gear animations. Oh, and if you're using the 2020 version, well, then good luck getting a cabin lol

    11 months ago

    I wouldn’t trust them after the a350. It’s performance is already horrible so imagine what an A380 will do.

    11 months ago

    Inibuilds should focus on optimizing the a350. I’m only looking forward to fenix and bluebird aircraft. Can’t wait for the 757.

    if the a350 is laggy the a380…

    11 months ago

    if the A350 is not working for you, then there must be something you are doing wrong. that’s the best A350 available. inibuilds has done fine with the A350, 300 and 310. bring on the A380. and why now? there is over supply of the A320. but I’d like to see their A330 in MSFS 2020 because I ain’t going getting the MSFS 2024.

    Yeah inibuilds make wasm crash simulator so not worth another $80 👋🏻👋🏻

    11 months ago

    Ini isn’t a single team from what I gather. They’re an outsourcing firm. They outsource all or part of the development to third parties and publish much more stuff than others. This explains why they can just push sceneries and planes out at such a pace, albeit without the quality control/depth that Fenix or PMDG might have

    11 months ago

    great, because the 380 from FBW is a buggy piece of code that they haven't been able to optimize for a year. Memory leaks, even on top-end hardware, it is buggy. The A350 works for me at 10 out of 10, so I'm looking forward to it.

    I haven’t tried the A350 (cuz of the cost), but based on what the community says, yeah, ikr, it would be nice if iniBuilds made at least one freeware aircraft (and a good true-to-life one at that)… at this point, FBW is better for me since I am not allowed to buy addons.
