Full integration with X-Plane 11’s PBR (Physically Based Rendering) lighting system. This makes the carbon-fiber fuselage and cockpit textures react realistically to light sources.
The version 1.4.6 represents a legacy milestone for this add-on, bridging the gap between X-Plane 10 and X-Plane 11. While later versions (v1.6+) added more comprehensive SID/STAR support and VNAV improvements, v1.4.6 solidified the aircraft's foundation in the X-Plane ecosystem. Core Version Features (v1.4.6)
V1.4.6 laid the groundwork for X-Plane 11’s physically-based rendering (PBR). It allowed the gorgeous, curved sharklets and the iconic "raccoon mask" cockpit windows of the A350 to genuinely shine under dynamic lighting.
Built with a highly customized codebase, version 1.4.6 resolves numerous memory leaks and performance bottlenecks found in earlier releases. It bridges the gap between X-Plane 10's legacy architecture and X-Plane 11’s modern, physically-based rendering (PBR) engine, ensuring smooth frame rates even during heavy rendering tasks at dense airport hubs. 🛩️ Key Features of the A350 XWB Advanced xplane 10 11 airbus a350 xwb v146 exclusive
The Airbus A350 XWB (Extra Wide Body) represents the pinnacle of modern, efficient, long-range air travel. In the world of flight simulation, capturing the essence of this high-tech jetliner is a monumental challenge. Enter the , specifically with the v146 exclusive update . This release represents a significant maturation of one of X-Plane’s most popular long-haul add-ons, bringing refined systems, improved performance, and enhanced visual fidelity to both X-Plane 10 and X-Plane 11.

The tiller steering is responsive. Use the tiller axis if you have rudder pedals; the nose wheel steering radius is tight enough for JFK’s alleys.
While newer versions (v1.6+) have since surpassed v1.4.6 by adding features like Vulkan support and 8.33 kHz radio frequencies, v1.4.6 remains the definitive version for many legacy users running X-Plane 10 or early X-Plane 11 builds. It represents the period when FlightFactor, primarily known for Boeing aircraft, successfully adapted to the unique "point-and-click" philosophy of the modern Airbus flight deck. performance comparison between the X-Plane 11 and 12 versions?
