The iniBuilds A310-300 is included in MSFS 2024 Standard Edition. Learn where to find it, fix a missing aircraft and check livery compatibility.
Yes. The iniBuilds Airbus A310-300 is flyable in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and is included with the Standard Edition, so it does not require a higher edition or separate aircraft purchase. It is the detailed wide-body first supplied with MSFS 2020’s 40th Anniversary update, carried into the MSFS 2024 fleet.
Is the A310 included with every MSFS 2024 edition?
Yes, because the A310-300 belongs to the Standard Edition aircraft selection, which is also included in the higher editions. You do not need to own MSFS 2020 first or purchase an additional iniBuilds package.
Our verified breakdown of the Standard Edition fleet confirms its place in the base simulator. The aircraft is normally listed by its manufacturer and model—Airbus A310-300—rather than only under the iniBuilds developer name.
How do I select the iniBuilds A310?
Select the A310-300 from the aircraft picker used when setting up a Free Flight.
- Open the aircraft selector from the Free Flight setup screen.
- Clear active filters, especially favourites, aircraft category and manufacturer filters that can hide airliners.
- Search for A310 or Airbus. Searching only for iniBuilds may not return the expected result because the aircraft is displayed as an Airbus model.
- Choose a starting state. A runway start is best for getting airborne quickly; a gate or parking position may load the aircraft cold and dark and require full cockpit preparation.
Why is the A310 missing from MSFS 2024?
If the A310 is absent, the usual causes are aircraft-picker filters, unavailable streamed content, an incomplete simulator update or a conflicting add-on—not the edition you purchased.
- Check content availability: MSFS 2024 can stream aircraft instead of keeping every package locally. Confirm that online services are working and that the A310 package is available and enabled in the simulator’s content library.
- Update and restart the simulator: Aircraft packages and their systems receive fixes through simulator updates. Earlier changes included the A310-specific corrections delivered in Sim Update 3 for the ECAM, FMA, CDU and TCAS; later simulator builds retain those corrections.
- Remove conflicting modifications: On PC, temporarily move A310 liveries and modifications out of the
Communityfolder, then restart the simulator. On console, disable suspect add-ons through the available content-management controls. - Reset the selector: Clear searches and filters, then look under Airbus rather than assuming there will be a separate iniBuilds category.
Do MSFS 2020 A310 liveries work in MSFS 2024?
Not every MSFS 2020 A310 livery is guaranteed to work unchanged in MSFS 2024. A package must be made for the iniBuilds A310 rather than another developer’s model, and its packaging must remain compatible with the newer simulator.
Prefer a livery explicitly marked for MSFS 2024. If testing an older package, consult our guidance on identifying compatible iniBuilds A310 liveries; remove the package if it causes a blank thumbnail, invisible aircraft, loading failure or cockpit problems.
What should I know before a cold-and-dark flight?
The A310 uses an older generation of Airbus avionics and automation than the A320 family, so modern Airbus habits do not transfer perfectly. One common mistake is treating blank navigation displays or heading warnings as a simulator fault when the inertial reference system has not finished aligning.
For a gate departure, complete the electrical setup and follow the correct position-entry and alignment sequence in our step-by-step A310 IRS procedure. Use a runway-ready start if you want to confirm that the aircraft loads and flies before learning the full cockpit workflow.
