Control-law changes are tracked by release

The A340 change history distinguishes normal-law Alpha Floor, alternate-law high-speed stability and later yaw-control corrections. It also separates X-Plane 11-specific fixes from other changes. The reviewed August 2026 release is v1.6.1 build 1696.

Hydraulic failures change what surfaces can do

ToLiss describes hydraulic-actuator flow, hinge moments and control surfaces that can float after failures. The A340 also models reversion between fly-by-wire laws. Surface response changes with the simulated hydraulic and control-law state.

Airbus A340 ↗Research-based aircraft background

Airbus A340

The A340 shared substantial programme work with the A330 but used four engines for long-haul operations. The initial -200 and -300 were followed by the much larger -500 and -600 developments, which brought different engines and significant airframe changes.

The A340-600 has its own dimensions, fuel system and equipment. ToLiss's simulator documentation describes the specific flight-control and hydraulic modelling of its implementation.

Electronic checklists, airport maps and Brake to Vacate

The iniBuilds A350 includes -900 and -1000 variants, with separate loading limits in the manual. Its electronic checklist distinguishes automatically sensed items from pilot acknowledgements. The Onboard Information System provides documentation and performance tools. Airport Navigation Function maps require both a Navigraph subscription and airport coverage in the mapping database; Brake to Vacate uses a selected runway exit within that system.

Airbus A350 ↗Research-based aircraft background

Airbus A350

The A350 evolved from an early proposal related to the A330 into the clean-sheet A350 XWB programme. Its first flight took place in 2013. Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines power the production family, with the A350-900 and longer A350-1000 serving different capacity needs.

The swept wings, curved wingtips and dark cockpit-window surround make the type readily recognisable. Inside, it belongs to Airbus's fly-by-wire wide-body lineage. The simulator manuals identify the included variants, flight-management features and equipment.
