🌴iniBuilds Palm Springs 🌴 - Your gateway to desert bliss! 🌵 🥳
Firstly, many thanks to all of you who supported us on iniBuilds Southampton (EGHI) which released for Microsoft Flight Simulator last month! You can see the store page for this scenery here!
As mentioned in our last update, we are working on a larger JFK update for performance. Initial testing is showcasing good results, but we do not wish to rush this.. We note a small portion of you are still frustrated, but we are trying to balance one of the most detailed mega-hubs in the sim in an already resource intensive location. 🤞once this new update is out, it will perform a lot better for some of you! 🥳
Since our last update we have also commenced updates on all sceneries in our portfolio - some larger, some smaller with KOKC v1.03 now available, EGHI v1.01 now available, and numerous sceneries now on Xbox or PC via the Microsoft Marketplace! We are working through all the projects and you should see updates being released on these in the next few months. Be sure you have the latest iniManager installed.
Now to today's announcement - iniBuilds Palm Springs for Microsoft Flight Simulator! 🥳
Palm Springs International airport, covers 940 acres with two runways and is 2 miles east of downtown Palm Springs, California, USA. The airport is key in California serving close to 3 million passengers in 2022! The airport is served by all major US carriers, boasting services to the East and West Coast, with an international presence from Canadian carriers such as Westjet and Air Canada.
In 2011, the airport was rated number 3 as one of the most stress-free travel airport's in the USA and we can see why! 😉
After clearing security, passengers leave the main building via the automatic doors and enter the open-air courtyard, which contains a full-service restaurant, coffee shop, and multiple sets of restrooms! Who wouldn't be relaxed in this atmosphere! In our version all of these areas have been faithfully re-created to the highest detail with all walkways and outdoor areas modelled. 🌵
This level of detail also extends to other key areas of the airport such as the landside, jetways, terminals and bizjet areas! You can see this in the selection of images below 🎉
A key point of interest, in the vicinity of the airfield is the San Gorgonio Pass wind farm which we have faithfully modelled and animated, for that extra level of immersion when departing or arriving into the airport! 🍃 🛫
Key features:- Hand crafted ground poly, textures with crisp, bespoke texture sets (Runways, aprons, paths, roads)
- True-to-life airport land side recreation with custom ground decals, signposts, vegetation, parking barriers and more
- Accurately modelled and positioned dynamic airport lighting
- Highly detailed models of all airport buildings, objects and surroundings
- Bespoke taxi signage as it is in the real world
- Up to date airport layout reflecting the current, real-world location
- Fully modelled local POI's and surrounding buildings including San Gorgonio Pass wind farm!
- Level of Detail (LOD) optimisation for every model to encourage the best performance possible
- Use of the latest MSFS SDK features to allow for the best optimisation and performance possible
- GSX profile included
-
Full iniManager compatibility to configure your scenery for the best possible performance for your system
Media will be showcasing this scenery from this Wednesday 18th October with release next Friday 20th October with the price of this scenery being £14.99 GBP excl. VAT.
We hope you enjoy this product and the updates coming across the iniBuilds scenery portfolio - let us know your comments as always and be sure to follow all of our socials!Many thanks and have an awesome weekend! 🍹

iniBuilds Southampton - Where History meets the sea! 🌊 🏗️
Welcome to today's new scenery project announcement and mini project update from our scenery team!
It was only a few weeks ago we released one of our most popular sceneries to date - iniBuilds Honolulu International Airport 🌴. It was a great project, and we are super thankful to all of you who supported us on that project; but also participated in our humanitarian efforts for the Hawaii Wildfire crises whereby we donated 10% of all revenue in the first month to the American Red Cross. ❤️
We have made numerous updates to a whole host of sceneries in the past few weeks and are currently working on a large, significant update to JFK, to support users on certain PC configurations on performance. This should also have a positive impact to those on Xbox.
Without further delay, we are super excited to announce iniBuilds Southampton Airport! 🌊 🏗️.
Southampton Airport (ICAO: EGHI) is an international airport located in the south of the UK! A focus city for BA Cityflyer today, the airport has had a varied history going back to 1910, and held great significance in the World Wars. 🛫
Today, the airport serves over 700,000 passengers a year with a wide variety of regional and international carriers from British Airways to destinations in France and Spain to airlines such as KLM flying to Amsterdam. There are also extensive operations to the Channel Islands with numerous carriers such as Aurigny and Blue Islands! 🌊 Perfect to take the ATR out on some short hops 😉
We have gone into extreme detail into this scenery and you can see that we have covered a lot of detail in all areas of the airport. When we teased this scenery last week; people questioned why we selected this airport? iniBuilds is a global team, with our staff coming from all over the world but our Head of Scenery Development and a few staff actually have Southampton as their local airport! So you could say its our scenery team's local airport 😉
Features list:
- Hand crafted ground poly, textures with crisp, bespoke texture sets (Runways, aprons, paths, roads)
- True-to-life airport land side recreation with custom ground decals, signposts, vegetation, parking barriers and more
- Accurately modelled and positioned dynamic airport lighting
- Highly detailed models of all airport buildings, objects and surroundings
- Bespoke taxi signage as it is in the real world
- Up to date airport layout reflecting the current, real-world location
- Fully modelled local POI's and surrounding buildings including Mercedes Garage, HSBC building, Premier Inn & Southampton Station.
- Level of Detail (LOD) optimisation for every model to encourage the best performance possible
- Use of the latest MSFS SDK features to allow for the best optimisation and performance possible
- Full iniManager compatibility to configure your scenery for the best possible performance for your system
- Custom GSX profile included
-
Latest airport configuration including newly re-surfaced and extended runway that opened just this week! 😉
We hope you like what you see and for our customers in the UK / local area, hope we did your local airport justice! 😉
Media will be showcasing this scenery from this Wednesday with release this Friday 29th September with the price of this scenery being £12.99 GBP excl. VAT.
I leave you with our trailer for the product, and please do let us know what you think of this scenery in the comments!
Many thanks,
iniBuilds team ❤️

Aloha Honolulu - the Paradise of the Pacific! 🌴🌊🥳
iniBuilds Summer Surprises Day 5, brings you all a fantastic, highly requested scenery - Honolulu International Airport! 🎉Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, commonly known as Honolulu International Airport (PHNL) offers many nonstop flights to many places in North America, Asia and Oceania. The FAA categorizes this airport as a large-hub primary commercial service facility, with significant commercial and military flight traffic!
Being the hub of Hawaiian airlines, the airport attracts many of the largest airlines of the world such as United, Southwest, American, Korean and Qantas! Some of the busies routes stretch as far as Manila - Philippines or Osaka - Japan to many cities in the mainland United states such as Las Vegas, San Francisco or Los Angeles! ✈️
This airport is fantastic for those who wish to fly long-haul, or short/medium haul ops to the mainland United States, Canada or the other Hawaiian islands! 🌴 The airport had over 18 million passengers pass through in 2022!
Features list:
- Hand crafted ground poly, textures with crisp, bespoke texture sets (Runways, aprons, paths, roads)
- True-to-life airport land side recreation with custom ground decals, signposts, vegetation, parking barriers and more
- Accurately modelled and positioned dynamic airport lighting
- Highly detailed models of all airport buildings, objects and surroundings
- Bespoke taxi signage as it is in the real world
- Up to date airport layout reflecting the current, real-world location
- Custom built jetways with realistic variations using PBR texturing and animations, including gate number toppers
- Fully modelled Cultural Garden, along with custom buildings with unique artwork that adorn the buildings
- Level of Detail (LOD) optimisation for every model to encourage the best performance possible
- Use of the latest MSFS SDK features to allow for the best optimisation and performance possible
- Custom static aircraft
- Full iniManager compatibility to configure your scenery for the best possible performance for your system
- Custom GSX profile included made by the amazing RW Profiles - some more news on that on Friday 1 Sept 😉
A bit like we did with other scenery announcements, let's walkthrough some of the cool features of this airport. Starting with the above image, whilst not being a 1st line asset, we wanted to provide an authentic experience to this airport and this is a super prominent building along the airport boundary!
Most airports we have made, have usually been full commercial airports, but for those who love military bases; you are in luck! Honolulu International Airport, shares runways with Hickam Air Force Base which has been fully modelled!
Hickam is a USAF installation, and is home to the 15th Wing and 67 partner units including Headquarters of Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), Hawaii Air National Guard and the 154th Wing (154 WG) of the Hawaii Air National Guard. The Air Mobility Command's 515th Air Mobility Operations Wing (515 AMOW) provides tactical and strategic airlift within the Pacific region.
The details transcend throughout the whole airport; and we have ensured all cargo areas are fully modelled!
From custom GSE to a fully modelled landside, this is truly a fantastic airport, that you should add to your collection! 🥳
As mentioned above in the features list, we have also fully modelled the Cultural Garden that sits in the interior of the terminal walkways; and do not worry - the intense vegetation can be switched off via iniManager, for those on lower end systems.
Now, to probably the most important part of this announcement! 🙂❤️
10% of all revenue in the first month, will be going to the American Red Cross for the Hawaii Wildfire crises that have affected thousands of people.
Like the Turkey Earthquake disaster, at iniBuilds, we want to support humanitarian efforts as much as we can around the world and do our part for society beyond flight simulation.
If you would like to donate directly to supporting this effort; you can do so here 😊 https://www.redcross.org/local/hawaii.html
In usual iniBuilds scenery fashion; I leave you with the iniBuilds Honolulu International Airport trailer! Rest assured any bugs that present themselves, will be swiftly fixed in a patch! 🙂
Many thanks
iniBuilds Team! 🙂

Back in June during FSExpo 2023, we launched our first development update for our flagship product the iniBuilds A300-600. If you are new to this project I highly recommend you go check that out here, where we talk about the project overall, some of the cargo options available to transport and a brief summary of the features that are going to be covered from systems to variants.
Today, I hope to provide more clarify on some of those updates, with some fresh new pics of the project (as we know how much you all love pictures! 😉), and discuss some of the hard work gone into the project over the past few months.
iniBuilds A300-600: 3D Model & Textures
The exterior boasts meticulous attention to detail, with each rivet, screw, panel gap, and placard thoughtfully recreated using high-resolution decal sheets, leaving no room for compromise when it comes to quality.
The cabin and cargo doors have been masterfully recreated, complete with intricate animations that encompass not only the main access doors but also demonstrates a level of detail that extends to even the smallest access points and their corresponding controls.
The depth of detail extends even to the smallest features, as evidenced by the fully operational models of the nose gear interphone panel, external power panel, and main cargo door control panel.
Immersive in every detail; the liveries authentically embrace each operator's unique identity, adorned with precise stencils and markings. These liveries are super detailed showcasing the artful application of weathering effects that mirror the genuine accumulation of wear and tear from the skies.
We hope you like what you see when it comes to the 3D model and textures. Its truly some of our best work yet, and we can't wait for you all to see this for yourself 🥳 🔥
iniBuilds A300-600: Systems & Flight-model
In the last update we provided, we talking about some of the key features this product is going to include such as; comprehensive systems simulation, realistic flight model, full ACARS, CPDLC simulation, and a whole lot more! 🎉
Today, we are going to discuss these in more detail and what things we have worked on in the past few months 😉
The iniBuilds A300-600 uses the latest simulation techniques available in its flight model & systems. These include:
• CFD simulation being run over the wings and tail of the aircraft and reinjected back into the aircraft's flight model. The A300 was built from the start with this technology in mind.
• Improved ground effect model also using CFD technology.
• Accurate drag and engine thrust simulation throughout the flight envelope.
Brand new auto flight system built from the ground up. New parts of this system include:- New Flight directors giving better smoother guidance.
- New Autoland system including new LOC and GS laws.
- New AP handling. This will overhaul LVL CHANGE V/S and all other basic modes for smoother more accurate flying.
- New LNAV system better able to handle more complex SIDs and STARs.
- Improved core system logic.
A lot of work has been underway updating our systems and refining them to a fantastic standard, and our in-house pilot testing team are loving the results. 😍 🛫
This is going to be the last development update till we get into final testing and release preparation, so I would like to wrap up this development update with a plan for release and how things are going to be shipped.
To those of you, who were concerned about the PW variant; I have some good news. We are going to introduce this into the package for free. 😉Stage 1 Release: GE Freighter & Passenger (v1.00) before the end of 2023. 🥳

Hi,
Thanks for your post. At heavy weights on the A310 slats only takeoff can be quite heavy. If you are regularly doing heavy take-offs please try using 15/15 or 15/20 this will give lighter rotation forces at higher weights.
Also, one thing to note, please make sure you have exactly the correct trim set as it can be very easy to leave the default trim setting of 1 UP in and this can give strange rotation forces.
Finally, make sure you load the aircraft first and then do the takeoff performance calculation otherwise the takeoff figures will be based on the default loaded weight.
Many thanks,
-

Hello everyone, and we have some very exciting news for you today! 🥳
As announced back in November 2022 in our roadmap post, and teased last week on social media, we are ecstatic to showcase some of our work on the iniBuilds A300-600 Airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator!
Those at FSExpo Houston 2023, will be experiencing this product first-hand in the 'iniBuilds Experience Planetarium' (follow our socials here to see this live!). However, we thought for those of you not attending, we would do our first official blog post on this fantastic product, providing you information on the work completed thus far, and some of the features you can expect.
The past few months has been spent on completely re-creating the exterior model of our flagship aircraft; taking the visual experience you can expect to the next level. The aircraft uses a combination of 8K and 4K PBR textures, providing a spectacular experience akin to the real life counterpart; realistic decals, wear & tear and dirt carefully placed across the aircraft. From accurate liveries to precise textures, you can expect an aircraft model that truly captures the essence of the iconic A300.
Here are some images focused on some of the key areas.
This superb attention to detail transcends into the interior of the aircraft with a fully modelled cockpit & cargo interior that you can see below.
With our extensive range of cargo loads, you can embark on exhilarating journeys to various destinations, each offering unique opportunities. Picture yourself transporting an F1 car to a thrilling race in Bahrain or taking precious cargo for an important client. The iniBuilds A300-600 Airliner provides you with an ultimate airliner experience embarking on extraordinary adventures, where the sky is no longer the limit.
But that's not all! We're also building something truly remarkable in the iniManager, taking your cargo hauling adventures to the next level. Our innovative tool will enhance your experience and become your trusted companion. But that deserves its own post, and once we have completed this element of the product, we will showcase this!
This leads in nicely to talk about the next steps for the iniBuilds A300-600 & what features are going to be included!
This is a true-to-life complex airliner, with hundreds of features but we outline some of the key features below:- Comprehensive systems simulation alongside an authentic flight-model in line with all iniBuilds airliner products. The A300 for Microsoft Flight Simulator will feature an incredibly realistic flight model, meticulously designed to replicate the handling, performance, and behavior of the real-life aircraft. Get ready to experience the thrill of flying the A300 as if you were in the captain's seat!
- Full ACARS/CPDLC simulation (including SimBrief) with the option for classic and modern pedestal options (like the X-Plane version)

Thanks... the reason for those quick functions of sending between EFB and FMS is that in XP both FMS and EFB is written in the same programme. In MSFS its two different coders, and there are limitations in sending HTML requests to the WASM API... we will do what we can though, and trust me it would be great to get that automation back in!
8 minutes ago, Skynut55 said:Here are my thoughts on the ini EFB's
I am going to compare the Last XP efb from the A300v2 to the Microsoft A310
Both EFB's have excellent ground handling pages that are easy to use and also great general weather pages.
However I think the MSFS A310 iteration falls flat with its performance calculator and weight & balance page. The XP efb had a great flow. Load sheet -> Set Weights -> Send to T.O Perf -> directs to T.O Perf Page -> complete T.O Performance. This was an excellent way to get a lot of the behind the cockpit work done. The T.O. Perf page itself was also incredibly intuitive. All the weights were set from the previous load sheet page and all the user had to do was set departure airport and pull metar. This is where I think the MSFS A310 is the most disappointing. Weights needed to be reentered, grab the metar (if the refresh metar feature didnt break, sometimes it lingers on old airports when full reset isnt pressed) and also runway data (length/heading) had to be entered manually or through a hidden autofill feature. Feel like this was a big fall compared to the XP user experience in that regard.
The MSFS A310 UI itself is actually really good to look at and navigate, the front end did a really good job designing it. I just hope some of the backend design choices can take a page from the XP version. I will counter and say there could have been some limitations due to trying to make it compatible on serval different platforms but I hope with the coming A300F a lot of the features that made the XP version so good can be reimplemented in the future. Like weights being sent to other pages, perf sent to FMS, etc and I really look forward to the next EFB to come to the ini family!
