With airports like Addis Ababa and Nairobi, Inibuilds has an impressive track record of doing honor to the hidden gem airports that are often overlooked. I’ve recently flown in to CGK and it struck me what a special airport it is. It’s slightly chaotic, but relaxed at the same time and the international terminal is beautiful. In MSFS, an Inibuilds-level scenery of this airport would open up a huge array of new sectors for simmers. Not only internationally (CGK-SIN is one of the busiest routes in the world), but also the very vast domestic Indonesian network would get the gateway it deserves. In my opinion, a worthy candidate to make its way on to the airport planning. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for your response. So if I understand you correctly, Inibuilds has to enter a licensing agreement with, I guess the airlines depicted in the livery packs? And I assume the work that goes into securing these licenses is too bitter of a pill to swallow? So how does that work for developers like Captain Sim, who push truckloads of livery packs to the marketplace, are they just good pals with the airlines or with Microsoft? And also, if Microsoft were to allow free livery packs on the Marketplace, would that also solve the licensing issue?

Hi lads, Hope you all had a tolerable Monday. For quite a while now, well over a year to be precise, myself and many others have repeatedly inquired about new liveries being made available in the MSFS Marketplace. Obviously the A350 has seen the most requests, but the A300, A340, TriStar and even recently the A380, have seen many people asking if and when they can expect new liveries being added to the existing packs, or even new packs being made available. Yet, as pressing as this issue is for practically all console users, it gets little to no attention. ‘I’ll pass it along to the team’, is most likely the reaction any inquiry will get. That really begs the question: What gives? Is it the process of pushing a product to the marketplace? (Not something Inibuilds seems to struggle with but okay) Is it the issue of making the repaints work on console, is it a licensing issue? Is it the fact that not enough revenue can be generated from them? I’m not asking for more liveries here (although by all means feel free to add them). I’m just wondering what the reason is for this to get so little attention. For me personally, the lack of interesting(/new) liveries is the #1 reason to not fly the A350 or the A340, as I’ve flown every realistic sector with the available liveries at least 5 times already. This problem is not unique to Inibuilds, I’ve seen similar requests in various places, all getting little to no real response. Really curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Could the China Southern livery be added to the livery pack available on Xbox? IMO it’s the best looking livery on this airplane and even though it’s no longer in service as such, it would open up a lot of sectors. Thanks!

I have run into the same issues and last week I shared this post with some ideas that helped my experience greatly. Hope it'll make a difference for you too! Nevertheless the A380 on Xbox still needs quite some optimisation.

I forgot to mention that I also disabled all World & City updates, that also seems to free up a lot of memory in many places.

Hi all, Last night I flew SQ12 WSSS-RJAA without any issues. Hell, there was even some complexity in the scenery upon arrival, so I figured I'd share what I did to get to that point: Clear the cache. On the Xbox home screen, press start on the game, go to manage game & add-ons, clear the cache. Make sure not to delete your settings, just the bottom of the 2 options. Upon first boot of MSFS, I disabled every single add-on in the Marketplace other than the ones I'd be using (WSSS, RJAA, the A380, Bravoairspace ATG traffic) Then the settings in the sim as low as possible. I did leave traffic on low with variety on medium but you can choose not to, to further optimize performance. In online settings, set the rolling cache to 120gb. Restart the sim Start a flight with the A380 on the runway to let the WASM compile. I gave it 20 minutes but I'm not sure if that is necessary. After this, return to main menu, quit MSFS and power cycle the Xbox. In the EFB: display refresh rate to 20fps (it's the price you pay for playing on Xbox) Turn off and hide the copilot's EFB. Not sure if it matters at all, but also turn down the brightness of their OIT. This worked vey well for me. Other things are to be mindful of switching between internal an external camera, no pausing, no Spotify in the background. Hope this helps!

This is a request that has been made dozens of times already for over a year. The most substantial response one can hope for is 'I'll pass it on to the team.' For me, the lack of liveries is the one reason keeping me from flying the A350.

First off: what a fantastic job! The A380 is phenomenal and hats off to the performance on Xbox, I can imagine that wasn’t easy but it’s very stable. Is a gorgeous bird but there are some gowns missing from her wardrobe. Liveries like LH Centennial, China Southern, ANA flying Honu’s, Asiana. Are there plans to add these in the near future? Since there are so few A380 operators, it would be great to have them all:) Thanks!

Hi, as beautiful as the Tristar’s cabin is, it’s an enormous drain on resources on Xbox. The optimization done thus far has provided a huge improvement already, but nevertheless my Xbox is always flat out of memory when landing. Which led me to think: would it be possible to get a non-cabin version of the Tristar on console? Much like how the A350 comes without a cabin, or the TFDi MD-11 that lets players choose between the two, I think it’s a great way to save resources for the flying experience. Let me know your thoughts!:)

Disabling the default KORD did indeed fix the performance issue, thank you very much. And yes, the advertisement states very explicitly: ‘This scenery features highly detailed terminals, accurately recreated taxiways and runway layouts, realistic signage, bespoke ground service equipment, an extensively modelled airport environment, and introduces iniBuilds Multi-Jetway Technology, allowing compatible aircraft to connect to multiple passenger boarding bridges simultaneously for an even more authentic turnaround experience.’ whether or not it is specified in that text whether this applies to Xbox, really doesn’t matter if this is what you see when buying the product on Xbox. As a result, I bought this airport specifically for those jetways.

I’ll try disabling the handcrafted airport after my flight, I didn’t realize that does not go automatically. with regards to the multi-jetways: it’s really quite misleading isn’t it, explicitly advertising it on Xbox, only to find out it’s really only on the roadmap for that platform?

MSFS 2024 SU6 beta, Xbox series X Inibuilds A340&A350 Bravoairspace ATG, only static no traffic, low density medium variety Hi, I just bought KORD on Xbox Series X and while I’m aware that KORD is obviously one of the largest and most complex airports in the world, the performance is horrid. Loaded at gate C10W in the Inibuilds A340. In the few frames the Xbox did render, textures constantly went blurry and it didn’t take long for the Xbox to run out of memory completely. Also the multi-jetways don’t move at all, neither of them, and there is no Ini Jetway app in the EFB. It’s understandable that that feature is not ready for -or will never be available at all on- Xbox. However, it IS advertised in the Marketplace on Xbox. Some jetways do connect with traffic, not all of them, but none seem particularly interested in me. Also I saw gate C10 connect to door R1 on an ai A330. The second test on the A350 went somewhat better, but still unplayably unstable in terms of completely blurred out textures, frame drops and running out of memory constantly looming. You guys have an impressive record of optimalisation (it took some trial and error but the A350 is now one of the most FPS friendly airliners in the sim right now, please give us more liveries:)) so I’m confident KORD will be a very regular destination in the near future, but for now it’s unfortunately unplayable.

Same here, the plane is fully unusable in SU5.

Whatever I do, I can’t get the plane to move on pushback. Brakes are off, chocks pulled, brakes pressed and released, wiggling the controls, applying thrust, nothing helps. Am I missing something or is this a bug? I am on Xbox and use the built in pushback tool.
