if putting static people in the terminal will make it a stutter fest, someone has to go back to programming school

have a chat with rd presets and inibuilds then.

    It's coming. Understandable that lots of assumptions are made since there's little info, and I apologize for that. This is by design due to competition. Also, I've stopped pumping out previews due to

    Hi Peter, You are clearly a dev from BMW since your burner account is fully dedicated to putting our brand down with cherry picked, ridiculous screenshots (we’ve got those too). No, not goin

    Cherry picking. Yes, they have black backgrounds, we were there. https://www.mediafire.com/view/4dh6x0ttcxb9zb2/Screenshot_2024-06-18_165419.png/file They get painted black again every once in a

because as mentioned before by a few devs before eye candys gets you sales, but it also hits performance.  

If they were moving, yes. But static people would barely effect the performance.

People should keep in mind that texturing every detail in remote places (accurate or not) will only eat up VRAM and give that terrible performance that BMW is known for (KMIA...).

the comparisons on Contrail show very little performance difference between BMW and FB's. Though we don't know what kind of computer it was running on.

So are you the dev known as BMW or AMSim? Because I know you're one of them.

Not taking anything away from anybody, and I guess sharing my opinion doesn’t really matter because it’s my opinion and everyone has one.

To me, gate side FB is superior. And I get great FPS with zero stutters. If that helps someone great, if it doesn’t that’s fine too.

Just because they prefer one over the other doesn't make them a dev.

You're never going to see this side of the building from a gate, so I'm not sure why it needs to be so detailed.

everything is a trade off, FB wins in my opinion due to excellent 4k textures, superior ground texture and focus on what you see from the cockpit and smooth performance.  I do expect FB to fix some issues like Jetway's not level with floor on E and D gates.   I wish BMW - AMSIM would invest in keeping other sceneries updated like KMIA which seems to be abandoned.   Yet it seems its focused on taking on FB were they have competition.

.. all VDGS seems to be at the wrong height.

Learn from the Discord: If you want this box to be visually at the correct height, you have to install NOOL VDGS (https://fs.nool.ee/MSFS/VDGS/Releases/). Personally, I don't fly liners and don't want to install more (useless) add-on from my usage, just to fix a visual artefact on an airport scenery. But "ok, let's do it" (and by the way it doesn't solve anything 😉 )

I just did my first flight into KSFO from KLAS in the Fenix. It was a perfect flight from beginning to end. GSX worked perfectly on both ends, including the follow-me car.

I've gotta give Mir props on this one. KSFO looks amazing!

International Terminal

 

Hi Peter,

You are clearly a dev from BMW since your burner account is fully dedicated to putting our brand down with cherry picked, ridiculous screenshots (we’ve got those too).

No, not going to shame you now.. I actually want to thank BMW Amsim, since you released SFO you generated a TON of traffic to our site and have introduced many new simmers to our brand. Our SFO release has been the best selling product ever, in our 14 year existence. So keep up the good work, I’ll let you know our next airport by PM so we can do this again 😂
 

btw, how are those “under construction” interiors coming?

Well...I'd very happy if this feud would stop, and BMW concentrate on KATL/KDFW and FB complete KDEN in it's current shape.

My five cents.

Glad to hear.
It's a long time coming, yet I like it a lot.
 

Couple of points I'd like to see addressed in an update, please:

  • Sea wall modelled around the airport perimeter
  • Some of the ground imagery to be of higher resolution - it's a complaint a fair few people are talking about.
    Perhaps a HD vs SD texture toggle for the ground textures if performance is a concern in your development rationale?

I don't think you need comparison shots. Your loyal customers aren't going anywhere unless you decide to follow Captain Sim's example (yeah, right 😉).

Great scenery for sure, just wish the runway textures were a bit better along with some of the other missing things mentioned before addressed.
