Extreme performance Issues (also at Ini EGLL) [HIGH VRAM]

[Xonarous]

Hi, i have a 7800x3d, 7800XT, 64GB of ram and the performance at Ini OMDB is insanely bad, on 2024. Yes i have the Microsoft OMDB disabled. Loads of stutters and even with settings turned to Low, and a TLOD of 30.  it lags and stutters. the moment i get out of the dubai area i have a TLOD of 400, all ultra settings and 0 issues. for example the Inibuilds LAX performs better. Heathrow is about the same as dubai is for me, and if i would try the a350 on one of these airports. it would be unplayable. I have this even with all things disabled in inimanager for OMDB. Take a look at the extreme VRAM usages - loads of stutters happen, especially when panning / switching camera views

Its worth noting that with ultra settings almost any big airport works fine, I mostly run high/ultra combo. I attached a few screenshots down below in the 777, a320 and a359:

For a comparison, this is the a350 at GVAC

Adding on to this, the performance of the A350, even in cruise with a TLOD as low as 10, sucks. stuttery, low fps etc. and this doesn;'t happen with any other aircraft

I have an RTX 3080 and 14700KF with 32gb ram. I get the worst performance with iniBuilds larger airports such as OMDB, EGLL, KLAX, KJFK etc. OMDB is the worst of all with sudden fps drops. One second im at my normal 35-40fps and then suddenly after moving my camera or changing my view, i go as low at 10fps. No idea why it happens. Other major airports from other top tier developers word perfectly fine for me. ini really needs to step up and start optimizing their sceneries, they are the worst in terms of performance. I really hope ini can look into this.

I always get ctd at EGLL in the fenix a320 and i have a 5080 with 128gb ram, pisses me off because why make a scenery if it is unplayable

Agree 100%. I just left Inibuilds OMDB and my god performance was atrocious! I also see horrendous performance at JFK and Heathrow. Other devs can make major airports perform really well, look at Flightbeams KSFO and SimWings EDDM.

Any update Devs? It's been reported in your discord too.

Hello iniBuilds team,

I know the A380 is still a long-term project, but it’s impossible to talk about that aircraft without thinking about Emirates and Dubai. Because of that, I wanted to share some honest and constructive feedback about OMDB.

Your OMDB scenery is visually impressive — very detailed and beautiful — but from a performance perspective, it can be quite demanding, especially during night operations. This is not meant as criticism or offense, just technical feedback.

Before raising this, I made sure it wasn’t a hardware or configuration issue. My system is a Ryzen 7800X3D with an RTX 4070 Super, and I’m running realistic settings (mostly medium), with TLOD and OLOD between 70 and 90. In most other heavy airports (such as your KLAX, EGLL, and KJFK), performance is smooth and predictable.

My concern is that the A380 will naturally be a very demanding aircraft: large cockpit, lots of glass displays, complex systems, four engines, and typically high AI traffic. That’s expected and manageable. However, when combined with the current performance behavior of OMDB — especially during night landings and rollout — it can negatively affect immersion.

My question is whether iniBuilds plans to further optimize or rework OMDB’s performance, particularly with future flagship aircraft like the A380 in mind. A smoother rollout and taxi experience at night would make a big difference.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into your products, and for listening to community feedback.
