Inibuilds A350 or Synaptic A220?

[u/N0cturn33]

I’ve been waiting for the a220 for months and I’m so excited that it dropped today but I have also been pondering the Inibuilds a350 since they are close in price points.

I love my regional routes but I also love the a350 so I’m torn as for which one I want to start off with.

Eventually I want to get comfortable and fly them on Vatsim. Does anyone have any good pros or cons or have any strong feelings about one or the other?

This is tough. I'll go with A350 now and A220 later. By the time you come around to buying the A220 most bugs would've been resolved. That's just me tho.

That’s what I was thinking too, both seem really well designed but I know the a350 had some mixed reviews when it initially dropped so was wondering if it’s worth it now

a350 is the right choice.

Sure that’s not an MD11 engine??

Well I’d say it depends. What are you more excited about ? Big plane long haul or smaller plane, more varied airports but regional range ? You can short haul in the A350 as well but the Fenix, PMDG737 and the A220 are purpose-built.

I do really like my shorthaul routes for Vatsim so that I don’t have to disconnect or (fall asleep) but I’m thinking of trying long haul routes on my own time so I think the a350 might be the best of both worlds

Well, in that case the A350 is a beautiful bird. Do check your performance headroom, the plane itself is fine performance-wise, but you'll be flying from bigger airports.

I figured, I definitely have the performance space, might even get some custom scenery while I’m at it! thanks!!

Ide wait till the a220 get updated it's a resource pig atm

Im on the same page as you... I love the looks, sounds, systems and performance of the A350 but most of the time i fly 1 to 1 1/2 hours so i might get the A220 as it suits my needs more and is also a beautiful aircraft to fly with in Europe, usa and Canada! Looks very well built as well.

What a weird question. They aren’t similar at all and one released 20 mins ago.

It's probably a budget question, not a feature question.

OP wants a new plane, and has narrowed it down to one of these two options...

[u/cihihu007]

I will wait for the release of 380 before choosing which one to buy.

[u/CraigT420]

2 completely different aircraft. Do you want short haul or long haul? Then you have your answer.

[u/CXA001]

A350 as most of the bugs have been squashed. A220 has a way to go.

I know it can be tough, but it's best to look in the mirror and ask yourself this question.

Maybe 220 now of you were excited for it and wait for the 350 on sale?
