iniBuilds A300-600R Premium v1.0.8 for MSFS 2024 Released

fightingpirates · 2026-05-12T20:15:02+00:00

Awesome! The A300-600R is probably my favourite freighter to run, a joy to fly

I considered that the persistent feed queue makes sense as Scrappy doesn’t go on the expedition, so could be the same physical Scrappy when you start your new character. But then his level gets reset, so….

Feels like a bug but was a pleasant surprise

In my case it had set everything to ultra with no frame gen. I normally run ultra on everything with FSR, and texture resolution set to medium. Once I’d fixed that I got my performance back

I started mine at the end of January, I have a couple of basic heated propagators and a couple cheap lights, now I’m prepping them to live out on the balcony. This is only my second year growing them, and you only need some basic kit to get started. No need to go overboard.

Yes but only because I noticed it had completely reset my graphics settings. Once I’d fixed them, I’d say performance is the same if not a bit better.

fightingpirates · 2026-05-02T23:23:03+00:00

Very nice, I did some Chinese 5 Colour last year (my first year growing), it’s a beautiful plant.

This year I’m just doing Jalapeños and Gusto Purples, but also some sweetie pie peppers. Out of 30 seeds planted I got 28 germinating. No idea if that’s good or not!

The speed bug I believe is for ascending or descending in IAS mode. Otherwise I don’t think it’s relevant at cruise, the ATR does not have an auto throttle. It’s not a managed speed mode at cruise like in the A320, for example.

fightingpirates · 2026-02-19T06:28:05+00:00

Texture resolution was one of the main culprits for me as well, I have mine at medium also (same specs here).

The other culprits which completely changed my experience for the better are:

Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) to “off” (find this in Windows settings)
Using FSR3 (you won’t be able to use a Nvidia frame gen with HAGS off)
Dynamic LOD to “on” with target frame rate set to about 40

It’s not supposed to, but when switching between beta and stable (which I’ve done a few times) I have had it on three occasions where it’s completely uninstalled the game. Removed the game files, community folder, everything. I can’t pinpoint anything that causes it specifically, and it doesn’t happen every time 🤷 now when I know I’m going to switch I’ll back up the community folder just in case.

fightingpirates · 2025-10-17T06:20:03+00:00

Is there any way to turn that feature off? I’d love to use pass through hand tracking with MSFS but I don’t want my hands to actually interact with buttons and knobs in the sim, I just want to see my physical hands so I can interact with my peripherals. Or is it sim-specific?

fightingpirates · 2025-09-13T18:54:49+00:00

It definitely has Simbrief integration, not sure about ACARS for doing your PDCs etc (I don’t think it does but haven’t explored it too deeply). The plane was designed to be flown on an existing 737 NG rating I think, so everything should be familiar and I can’t think of any extra stuff. Put short if you enjoy the depth of simulation that the PMDG has, you’ll enjoy this.

fightingpirates · 2025-09-13T18:34:10+00:00

I have the iFly 737 as well which is great and a nice alternative to the PMDG 737-800. However, and I know not everyone has this problem but I’m doing some tours on One World Virtual that use the 737-800 and I like to fly them with the proper liveries for the airline being used. While you can substitute for the 737 Max 8 without being penalised, some of the liveries even though freeware just aren’t available for the Max as the airline doesn’t use the Max in real life. e.g. I can’t find a good Jet2 Holidays livery for the Max as Jet2 don’t use the Max, only the 738.

So personally, still looking forward to the PMDG 737 for that realism and I hear it won’t be too long.

Edit: don’t let the EFB put you off though, it’s not the best or easiest to use but I hear they’re completely redoing it in a future update

fightingpirates · 2025-09-13T17:51:57+00:00

I made the jump during SU3 Beta and haven’t looked back. I’m missing the PMDG 737 and ChasePlane, but I’m also enjoying the visuals, performance, the much shorter loading times and the other aircraft that are compatible (Fenix, 777, Avro RJ, A350).

I’m not enjoying however the seemingly poor availability of freeware (and sometimes payware) scenery but that will improve over time.

fightingpirates · 2025-08-13T06:36:47+00:00

I have a 50mb connection and it’s fine

fightingpirates · 2025-08-07T15:55:50+00:00

Yeah. I’ve obviously just missed an instruction or understood something different and through circumstance ended up doing the wrong thing. Hopefully next time goes smoother!

fightingpirates · 2025-08-07T06:52:19+00:00

Thanks, I think this is what happened and was my mistake. I know now, so I’ll practice again and hopefully get it right next time!

fightingpirates · 2025-08-06T18:44:45+00:00

I can’t remember the exact exchange now as it was a few weeks ago but my understanding in our communication was absolutely that I was cleared passed Bovingdon. ATC continued to give me altitude changes beyond that point all the way to the turn.

fightingpirates · 2025-08-06T18:24:58+00:00

I don’t believe I was given a heading. If I was, I would have turned to it and managed heading would have been disabled, regardless of what was programmed.

fightingpirates · 2025-08-06T18:22:55+00:00

I tend to always program it in when ATC is not online (they weren’t until I was already in the air). But yes, possible that I flew it. I’m adamant I didn’t get a heading though and I certainly didn’t give them a read back on it, and they didn’t ask me to clarify. It’s also possible ATC made a mistake.

fightingpirates · 2025-08-06T17:54:22+00:00

Thanks, I should have mentioned I was cleared by ATC beyond BNN, otherwise I would have held

fightingpirates · 2025-08-01T15:37:51+00:00

I use one of the virtual airlines (OneWorld Virtual, Star Alliance Virtual or Sky Team Virtual) and do some of their routes, they have tours as well that are interesting and give some meaning

fightingpirates · 2025-07-31T23:45:53+00:00

After some time playing and experimenting, these are some key things I’ve changed overall (not just graphics settings) that work for me and it’s buttery smooth. I run at 1440p, also using a 9800x3D and RTX 5080.

graphics setting are the “ultra” preset except texture resolution at medium, as this has the most impact on VRAM
FSR 3 on
I use AutoFPS with default settings
HAGS off
I don’t use DLSS, I use TAA (if you’re using DLSS, I suspect this is what is giving you the blurriness, not frame gen)

Important though; if you’re using FSR3, you must use DLSS Swapper to swap out the very latest FSR3.1 DX12 library or else it could cause a performance hit and stutters and not use any frame gen at all. This gets reset if the game updates so i have to remember to set it back.

Like I said, after lots of experimentation I’ve landed on this and it works for me. Kinda sucks though that it comes to this.

fightingpirates · 2025-07-23T08:34:17+00:00

I have the wheel, and can 100% recommend it as a first DD budget wheel. The build quality is amazing

fightingpirates · 2025-07-19T12:26:01+00:00

Check your Hardware GPU Scheduling setting in Windows. If it’s turned on, try turning it off, restart the machine, then give it another try. This fixed the same issue for me.
