REVIEW: IniBuilds Los Angeles

[pmplayer 9,997]

A vid is one thing how it real performs in your sim is the other..

And in the end that is always the most important thing - IMO !

cheers 😉

hope they have ai parking etc correct?

Chewwy was flying over it with FSTLT enabled. It seems to be correct, mostly.

Quick question. I thought KLAX was already a handcrafted airport by Asobo.  I remember that the interiors for KLAX was not handcrafted by Asobo.  Other than the interiors not being handcrafted, is the iniBuilds KLAX way better than the handcrafted KLAX by Asobo?

Is the ILS working ok?

If I have one complain, it's the missing people making the airport kind of dead.

 

Hmm, for me, I actually prefer empty airports over adding "static" people.  If people are moving like the default airport staff wearing the yellow coats in MSFS, or like the people moving like people in GSX, then I like that. Of course, the visual quality of the people and their motion also has to look good - IMO, the quality of the airport staff wearing the yellow coats, and the quality of the people in GSX is pretty good, both in visual quality and in their motion.

If this can't be done, then I actually don't "static" people that are frozen in time. It looks kind of weird, like some movie where all the people are frozen in time. If the people are going to be "static" and frozen, I actually prefer an empty airport, even if the airport looks dead.

I guess this is my personal preference though (everyone has different preferences).

I haven't seen the iniBuilds KLAX yet, but I would expect so. Asobo's handcrafted KLAX has some pretty basic issues, including jetways not connected to the terminal and wonky S turns in ramp taxilines that don't exist in reality.

Given that people are saying that iniBuilds has raised the bar with their version, I would have to assume it's way better than Asobo's.

A must buy i guess. Regarding dynamic interior, people at ENVA/ENTC is great modelled combined with GSX profiles its immersion enhanced .

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

I've got to be honest, while I appreciate this would be useful to a number of people, I don't know the first thing about AI parking space coding as I don't use any AI traffic and haven't since the P3D days - I always fly on Vatsim. While I could potentially get an AI Traffic add-on and learn all about it, realistically, I just don't want to make these videos any longer than they already are (or spend any longer making them than I currently do)! Sorry.

Understood. Thanks for responding.

Yes, many many times better in every regard!

@FilbertFlies Thanks for the review as ever... as an anachronism who couldn't care less about airport interiors, I wonder what you thing about this vs. the FeelThere LAX from Orbx?  I thought it was a good value at release, and am quite happy with the apron views.... If the APRON stuff is much better, I will purchase.  The interior stuff I never see.

TIA- C

Nice review and I am definitely interested in getting this release from iniBuilds. Thank you for the insight! 🙂

I bought it. As someone who hasn't RTFM, do I need to do anything special with regards to: Asobo's hand crafted airport, GSX, or MakeRunways to make it all work seamlessly?

[Sunshine13 243]

FilbertFlies, urvideos are a pleasure to watch!!!

In the past I always bought airports from FS DreamTeam, FlyTampa, Flightbeam and Latin VFR, the video and pics  on their website look beautiful, but u cant always judge a book by its Cover.

How does this developer compare to the ones that I mentioned above ??  Remember different strokes for different folks

Otherwise if I here more good things especially performance, it will be a buy.
