iniBuilds has recently launched an update for their Airbus A300-600R for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This update includes several new features as well as several bug fixes.
The latest version, v1.1.0, introduces the much-awaited PW engine variant. With this update, users can now enjoy flying with both PW passenger and PW freighter variants. Additionally, the aircraft now has a modern radio panel, the IDC, which has both CPDLC and ACARS systems and sounds. The update also includes a moving map functionality for Navigraph and an EFB with a Landing Distance calculation performance page.
The version v1.1.0 has a comprehensive changelog, which can be found below:
