A iniBuilds lançou a atualização v1.0.3 para seu mais recente airliner, o iniBuilds A340, que já está disponível para download através do Marketplace oficial dentro do Microsoft Flight Simulator. A equipe expressou enorme satisfação com a recepção da comunidade ao lançamento da aeronave, destacando os elogios aos visuais, fidelidade de sistemas e ao desempenho otimizado.
Após o feedback intenso e detalhado da comunidade, parte dele recebido antes mesmo do lançamento oficial, a iniBuilds focou esta atualização em correções visuais significativas. Embora o cronograma de lançamento não tenha permitido que essas mudanças entrassem na versão inicial, a equipe dedicou tempo para refinar áreas-chave, como a geometria das asas e o trem de pouso principal.
Correções Visuais: Asas e Trens de Pouso Remodelados
O principal destaque do update v1.0.3 é, sem dúvida, o trabalho artístico. A equipe de arte da iniBuilds reconheceu que a geometria da asa do iniBuilds A340 era um “ponto de discussão” entre os membros mais detalhistas da comunidade.
Após uma investigação, identificou-se que os dados de referência e layouts originais continham distorções. Com um novo conjunto de referências e desenhos técnicos, a equipe reconstruiu e revalidou os modelos 3D, garantindo a precisão correta.
Essa mudança teve um efeito cascata: a correção da asa exigiu uma revisão completa do trem de pouso principal (MLG), incluindo uma recalibração total da inclinação e posicionamento das rodas para alinhar tudo com os novos dados. Segundo a desenvolvedora, este update corrige cerca de 30 bugs individuais relacionados à precisão da asa e do trem de pouso.
Atenção, pintores: Como resultado dessas mudanças estruturais, todas as liveries (pinturas) baseadas em decalques precisarão ser atualizadas por seus criadores. As texturas do iniManager e dos pacotes do Marketplace já foram atualizadas.
Atualizações de Sistemas e Novo Modo Constant Mach
Embora este update tenha focado mais na arte, a área de sistemas também recebeu melhorias importantes, que preparam terreno para novidades futuras, como integração AOC/ATC e suporte expandido ao WINWING.
As principais novidades da v1.0.3 são:
• Atualização do Modelo de Voo (Gear Compression): Paralelamente às mudanças visuais no trem de pouso, o modelo de voo foi refinado para simular com mais precisão o comportamento de peso sobre as rodas (weight-on-wheels) e as características de compressão.
• Adição do Constant Mach: Uma nova função de “Mach constante” foi introduzida no FMGS. Este modo permite que o A340 mantenha um número Mach fixo, em vez de depender de velocidades variáveis pelo cost index. Isso é particularmente útil em operações processuais, como no Espaço Aéreo de Alto Nível do Atlântico Norte (NAT HLA).
• Correções Gerais: Diversas discrepâncias visuais e lógicas no FMGS e DCDU foram corrigidas, melhorando a precisão geral. O cálculo do VNAV também recebeu pequenos ajustes para previsões de trajetória de voo mais suaves.

Resumo e Análise Editorial FlySimBR
É notável (e louvável) que a iniBuilds tenha investido recursos significativos para corrigir problemas de geometria no modelo 3D (asas e trem de pouso) que foram apontados pela comunidade antes mesmo do lançamento. Este update v1.0.3 demonstra um compromisso em “acertar” o produto, mesmo que isso signifique um retrabalho complexo pós-lançamento. Embora a lista de correções de sistemas seja vasta e foque em bugs, a adição da função “Constant Mach” é uma melhoria de funcionalidade bem-vinda para os “long-haulers”. É um patch de correção robusto que endereça as principais críticas visuais e solidifica a base para futuras expansões de sistemas.
