The long-awaited iniBuilds Airbus A350 for Microsoft Flight Simulator is almost here. With the release now just days away (next week, but with no exact day confirmed yet), iniBuilds has ramped up anticipation with a second official trailer and a detailed feature comparison chart outlining the differences between the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and 2020 versions, as well as variations between purchases made through the iniBuilds Store and the MSFS Marketplace.
New trailer before landing
First, the latest eye candy directly from the cinematic artists at iniBuilds. A stunning second trailer showcasing the A350 in action is now out, further building excitement for what is set to be one of the most significant airliner releases for MSFS. The trailer highlights the aircraft’s sleek design, real-world liveries, cabin, and flight deck.
Feature comparison: MSFS 2024 vs. MSFS 2020
Alongside the new trailer, iniBuilds has also released a comprehensive feature comparison table, breaking down what users can expect depending on which simulator version they are using and where they purchase the aircraft.
Notable differences between the versions:
- Full interior model: Available only in MSFS 2024 (iniBuilds Store & Marketplace PC/Xbox). The MSFS 2020 version will have a simplified interior model without cabin or crew rest areas.
- Per-livery configuration: Fully supported in MSFS 2024 across all purchase options. In MSFS 2020, this feature is not available.
- Weathering system: Both versions will feature wear and tear, but only MSFS 2024 will support dynamic weathering.

To further address community questions, iniBuilds has also released detailed FAQs for both the MSFS 2024 and MSFS 2020 versions. These cover key topics such as system depth and functionality, the inclusion of failures like bird strikes and cabin decompression, guidance on setting up features like Brake to Vacate and Airport Navigation Function (ANF), as well as compatibility details for hardware controls.
