In which they will fail as customers don't want to switch.

I agree. As I said before, customers are abandoning MSFS2024 in favor of MSFS2020. If developers want sales, they got to go where the customers are.

Somehow I have a feeling that MSFS2020 will outlive MSFS2024, that given it's low number of users support for MSFS2024 will end before support for MSFS2020 will end. But that won't be for a long time, until we have a sim that'll replace both platforms. Let's say 2028. I think it's fair to say that in 2028 there'll still be a whole lot of MSFS2020 users as they simply refuse to switch to MSFS2024.

Not only are there more MSFS2020 users than MSFS2024 users, apparently there are more MSFS2020 customers than MSFS2024 customers. Inibuilds would be cutting themselves financially by not developing for MSFS2020 anymore, they'd lose their biggest market. I feel like they're making a mistake here, but it's not too late to revert their decision. I've heard of several people who have tried MSFS2024, didn't like it and went back to MSFS2020. IniBuilds can do the same.

I just read your April 2025 Scenery Development Update and I'm excited that a new Gatwick is in the pipeline. However as far as I read it'll be for MSFS2024 only which is a bummer. I'm using MSFS2020 and don't plan on switching so any scenery that's for MSFS2024 only is not for me. That's why I'm asking, will there be an MSFS2020 version of this scenery? I don't think I'm the only one on this, as seen in the Navigraph survey MSFS2020 still has over twice as many users as MSFS2024. Lots of people plan on sticking to MSFS2020, I'm one of them. I don't have a written source for this, but from what I heard from various developers who develop for both platforms is that the MSFS2020 versions of their products sell better than the MSFS2024 versions. So once again I'm asking, will the new IniBuilds Gatwick that's in development also be for MSFS2020? I don't mind if you develop an MSFS2024 version too, I just won't buy it. But if there's an MSFS2020 version it's an instant sale.

I remember the days when you could buy a livery request in the IniBuilds store, but those days are in the past. Which is a sad thing as I think there is demand for such a service. This once again proves it. Can IniBuilds perhaps reinstate this service? They already got experience with it and I've got a number of requests to make as well.

Why open a new topic for this? Why not add it to the dedicated topic for suggestions?

I'm trying to transfer some products I bought on the MSFS marketplace to iniManager, however in the process it asks for an invoice ID. The problem is that I have a whole lot of invoice IDs, however none of them say which product I bought with it. They all say I bought a certain amount of FlightSim credits with it, but they don't say what I bought with those FlightSim credits. I haven't got a clue which invoice belongs with which product, and there appears to be no way to look this up. If I enter "unknown" with invoice ID, will it be accepted? Alternatively I can send you a list with all invoice IDs I got so far, but like I said, I can't see which one was for which product.

I've bought iniBuilds / Origami Studios London Gatwick through the MSFS Marketplace and I'm looking to transfer it to iniManager, however it doesn't show up in the Order Transfer Request list. The product can be bought through iniManager, but it can't be transferred.

I miss the repaint request option on the new site, doesn't IniBuilds do that anymore? Actually that was the only thing about IniBuilds that attracted me. I took a look at the aircraft and scenery but unfortunately they're all for the wrong platforms and therefor not interesting. There is demand for a commercial repaint service like the one IniBuilds used to offer, in fact as far as I know IniBuilds was the only one offering this service.

PS for an experiment I took the alpha channel from the iniBuilds Pegasus A320 and included it in the files for the Lufthansa A320. Can you please replace the files in the Lufthansa A320 folder with these ones: https://gofile.io/d/qUxAsJ This is not meant to be a permanent solution, it's just to see how it looks. If that fixes it, then it's up to iniBuilds to come up with a permanent solution.

Looks like a problem with the alpha channel to me. While I currently don't have the Aerosoft Airbus installed, so I can't test it, I did download this livery. I opened these two files in DXTBmp: AIRBUS_EX320NEO_MIDSEC_C.dds AIRBUS_EX320NEO_TAILSEC_C.dds The first one does have an alpha channel, the second one doesn't. For comparison I also downloaded the JetStar A320 livery and opened the same files. Here they both have an alpha channel, although it's a much lighter shade than on the Lufthansa livery. Why some systems do pay attention to the alpha channel and others don't is a mystery, but this is the result.

What do you think? Please vote in the poll.

That's a shame, I always like fictional stuff. Maybe you should consider adding all fictional liveries to your library, you never know if there are people out there who would like to have it. They might not order it themselves, but if it exists anyway....

Indeed, the mails were in the junk folder. Got them now. The EasyJet 757 was tricky since it's not listed on the site. In fact, there is no Captain Sim section under fictional repaints at all. Still glad that it's done.
