Excerpt from Threshold
iniBuilds has provided the first details of an update to the A380 Airliner for MSFS 2024, while also issuing a call for Boeing and Embraer pilots and personnel to assist with future projects.
Why is Threshold reporting this?
iniBuilds has not announced a new aircraft. Threshold is reporting the developer’s request for real-world expertise, as stated in their email newsletter and on Discord, and this is not confirmation of a future project.
The information was first shared in an iniBuilds marketing newsletter, sent on Sept. 18, a few days after the A380’s release.
According to the developer, version 1.0.1 has already been submitted to the MSFS 2024 Marketplace and will be available next Tuesday, subject to Microsoft’s approval.
The initial changelog mentions fixes to various systems, artwork, EFB/OIT, and sounds. The system changes include corrections to PFD airport filtering, STEP DES functionality, secondary flight-plan sequencing, FMS FINAL TIME entries, VNAV behaviour following a go-around, and take-off performance calculations.
As for artwork, several sections of “unwanted” or missing geometry and placards have been corrected. The EFB/OIT changes also include a GSX de-icing issue and final loadsheets being sent before fuelling is complete.
iniBuilds is also addressing several sound issues, including cockpit pack audio, an incorrect “100” callout following a go-around, and missing autopilot disconnect warnings under certain failure conditions. The developer says more changes will be included in the final update, too.
Request for expertise
Elsewhere in the same newsletter, iniBuilds issued a request for help from people with real-world experience on Boeing and Embraer types.
iniBuilds said here they are beginning work on future roadmaps, and the “next iteration of the iniBuilds fleet”, and is looking to speak with Boeing and Embraer pilots, as well as personnel who work closely with aircraft from either manufacturer.

Nothing has been confirmed regarding a future project, and iniBuilds has not announced what will follow their current aircraft releases, but this may signal an initiative to build something different. We will keep you updated.
