How To - Performance Optimization Options

The iniBuilds A350 Airliner for MSFS2024 offers numerous configurable options and variants to optimise the performance per the best needs for your hardware.

Dynamic Performance Options

On the OIS Simulation Settings page ( FLT OPS MENU > OPTIONS > SIMULATION), you can find two performance optimization options:

• Performance Mode When the cockpit door is closed, hides the visual models for cabin, gear, gear bays, avionics Bay, cargo Bay, hatch interiors, and engine Interiors. If you would like to walk around the cabin, simply open the cockpit door and the cabin will appear. It will disappear again once the door is closed. We consider this a High Performance Impact option.

• Condensation FX option turns off particle effects. This includes condensation effects on the wings and engines, smoke effects during start and contrails. We consider this a Low Performance Impact option.

No-Cabin Variants

The No-Cabin variants are designed to help improve performance on lower-end systems and consoles, particularly those with limited VRAM and/or laptop GPUs. These changes reduce system and video memory usage to improve smoothness and frame rates where VRAM is a limiting factor, at the expense of a detailed cabin model, avionics bay and the crew rest area. Performance improvements will vary depending on your hardware and simulator settings.

On PC, you can choose this variant via the Aircraft Selection Menu. See this guide for more information.
On Xbox, this is the default, no additional steps required.

Simulator Settings

Running complex and highly detailed aircraft in busy environments can be demanding on system resources. Below is a baseline to help maintain smooth performance while retaining visual quality. Adjust as appropriate for your system:

• Terrain Level of Detail (TLOD): 100-150 (higher values impact GPU load significantly, especially at low altitude)

• Object Level of Detail (OLOD): 100-150 (controls building/scenery object density)

• Terrain Vector Data: Medium (reduces CPU load from roads/rivers rendering)

• Volumetric Clouds: Medium/High (High can cause notable frame drops in dense weather)

• Texture Resolution: High (has more impact on VRAM than FPS - reduce if VRAM limited)

• Anisotropic Filtering: OFF (recommended to set via your GPU Manufacturer software)

• Raytraced Shadows: OFF

• Glass Cockpit Refresh Rate: Low or Medium

• Terrain Shadows: 1024

• Contact Shadows: Medium/High

• Characters Quantity: LOW

• Airport Services Quantity: OFF or LOW

• Aircraft Traffic Quantity: OFF

• Parked Aircraft Quantity: OFF

• Road Traffic: Low

• Sea Traffic: Low

• Fauna Density: Low or Medium
