The A350 XWB is an aircraft for the computer generation. There are no steam style gauges to be found on this most modern airliner. The A350 XWB though, is in a whole different ball park. Their Boeing 757 is excellent and even the the ageing Boeing 777 Worldliner is enjoyable. The question is, “Is it any good?”.įlight Factor have produced some wonderful aircraft. X-Plane heavy metal specialists, Flight Factor, have done just that. So taking on the newest aircraft with barely a few thousand hours flight time under its belt may seem a little foolish. Airbus is notoriously unhelpful to developers, with many an A320 model having to be reverse engineered with the help of a friendly airline or pilot. The A350 XWB (extra wide body for those who are wondering) is perhaps an odd choice for a flight sim developer to tackle.

This brand new aircraft is barely in service, with Qatar Airways only launching its first revenue service in January 2015. The Airbus A350 XWB Advanced is just like our shiny penny. There is always something new waiting in the wings, always a shiny penny to replace its dull and scratched counterpart, always a brighter tomorrow promised today.
