[FilbertFlies 980]

Hi all,

iniBuilds' LAX is due to release later today. Here's my review of it 🙂

Thank you. Day 1 buy, as you say, no need to watch any further reviews. It's amazing how far we came with airport modelling.

If I have one complain, it's the missing people making the airport kind of dead. Simaddons, maker of numerous Canadian airports, just added people to all of its creations just in time for the Canada WU. I would like inibuild to add people, too, even if they are static.

But overall, this certainly sets standards.

Kind regards, Michael

Great job on the review! Inbuilds did an amazing job on KLAX. 

Wish they would make KPHX so there is another choice other than FlightBeam's version when they release it!

Amazing...what a huge effort and incredible attention to detail on this.  And better performance than the default??  I'm in...

Wow better fps than default

It looks great! However, in my opinion, I feel like the textures look a little too plain and a bit cartoonish.

I hope performance is better than their Heathrow.

If you mean Chewwy, that was just his VRAM, it's at 45 FPS now.

I am not sure really... just jumped between few streams under "MSFS" category. I never remember the names... 😞

Excellent stuff, bring it on. @FilbertFlies awesome review as always, I highly rely on your reviews. I'd like to ask if it'd be possible to add a new section to your reviews showing weather the AI parking spaces are properly coded. With the bunch of new AI freeware and upcoming payware, it'd be nice to see if the devs are doing what they're supposed to.

That is one constructive comment I fully agree with thought I have not once gone into a flight sim airport.  But would be nice to see people inside through the windows.  Also in general so many addon airports for MSFS, both payware and freeware, look lifeless, even with some ramp workers and support vehicles moving around.  Too many lack open hangars with some equipment and static aircraft parked inside.  I note that is true with the maintenance hangars in this scenery.  And the freight terminal areas look abandoned other than parked equipment.  Surely some moving airplane traffic will make a significant difference.

This LAX does look amazing so if interim user reports confirm that performance is not hit I will be adding it prior to my next MSFS travels to Socal.

It's a smart business decision. People care more about the domestic terminal's hot dog stand and which label of ketchup they are offering than silly stuff like that.
